Chapter 111: Surprise Neighbor
"Selina," Gray's eyes widened slightly. He was caught off guard. "Hey." Selina was equally surprised. She blinked in disbelief, but a smile slowly rose to her lips. "I didn't expect to run into you like this!" she exclaimed. A small laugh escaped her lips. It was truly unbelievable to see Gray here. "Same," Gray chuckled. He stepped slightly to the side to give her space. The elevator doors slid shut behind them, and the soft sound of its ascent started almost immediately. Selina turned to face him more fully, adjusting the strap of her bag on her shoulder. "Wait... do you live here?" Selina's brows rose. "Yeah. I just moved in recently," Gray gave a small nod, leaning back slightly against the wall. "No way." "What?" Gray turned to her immediately when he noticed the change in her tone. "Well, if we're in the same elevator... that means we're probably on the same floor." Gray paused for a second. Then, as if on cue, they both looked up at the small screen above the doors
Chapter 112: Sister Figure
Lily's eyes narrowed with suspicion. She leaned slightly to the side, peering around her brother's arm like she was trying to make sure she wasn't seeing things. "Oh! My brother brought home a girl?" she repeated, her voice a little louder this time as if wanting Gray to explain. "It's not what you think, Lily." Gray let out a short sigh, already dragging a hand down his face. "She's Selina," he said as he turned to the side to point at her. "She's my friend, okay? She lives in the next unit over. We just found out by accident, so I invited her for dinner." At the mention of her name, Selina stepped forward, just a little. She pressed her lips together and raised a hand in a small wave. She suddenly felt shy as she stood there. "Hi, Lily. It's nice to meet you. I've heard... a lot about you." Selina's voice was soft as she talked to Lily. She couldn't help it. She wanted to run to Lily and hug her small frame, but she stopped herself. In her mind, though, all she could think of
Chapter 113: Before The Storm
"She really said that out loud, huh..." Gray pressed a hand to his face as he sighed, shaking his head in embarrassment. He wanted to go to the living room and scold Lily for what she said, but that would mean admitting he'd been listening to their conversation. He didn't even need to look at the living room to know Lily was probably grinning like a troublemaker by now. "You're embarrassing me already, and it hasn't even been ten minutes," he mumbled and let out a sigh. Still, he smiled a little. At least Lily has someone to talk to. He was happy to see her happy. From the living room, Selina's voice rang out. It was clear enough that it made Gray pause what he was doing. "Lily, you're something, you know that?" she said with a light laugh. "But your brother and I are just friends. Don't go teasing him too much." "But you two look cute together!" Lily replied without missing a beat. Gray nearly dropped the pan he was holding. He groaned under his breath and shook his head.
Chapter 114: Room To Breathe
After that calm Thursday, Gray was back in his office early the next morning. He was greeted by a few lobby staff members with nods that he happily returned as he walked past them.By now, he was already getting used to the work routine.In the morning, he checked the internal reports that had been sent to his office. There were sales figures for the last week, inventory updates, and shipment schedules.With a mug of coffee cooling beside him, he read through the numbers, cross-checked them against the previous week, and marked a few entries he wanted to focus on.Nothing bad stood out. Instead, there was even an increase in sales after what happened last Saturday.It seemed like the people appreciated how Gray fought for Rowan as a customer.Some of the customers who answered the feedback forms also mentioned a better atmosphere after the manager was removed. They couldn't explain how, but they said the workers around looked happier and livelier.Gray was happy to know that.It seeme
Chapter 115: The Boss They Needed
"Sir Gray?""I hope I'm not interrupting anything." Gray smiled as he raised his right hand and gave a light wave to everyone before casually walking in.The girl with the phone sat up straight almost immediately, and the others followed suit, blinking rapidly in a mix of surprise and confusion."No, Sir! Of course not!" one of them answered quickly, already pushing back her chair to stand and greet Gray."You don't need to get up," Gray said, lifting a hand gently. "Really. I just thought I'd drop in while you're on break to check on you guys."The group glanced at one another, questioning and fear in their eyes for a second before it eased."I, uh... we didn't expect you to visit here, Sir," one of the boys said, scratching the back of his head as if unsure what to say. "It's our rotation break right now, that's why we're here.""I know that. You can rest easy," Gray chuckled. His eyes slowly roamed around, remembering the faces of the people inside the room."As far as I can rememb
Chapter 116: A Businessman
Gray learned a lot from his visit to the store.The team shared a moment together during lunchtime. It was fun and, honestly, refreshing in ways he hadn't expected.It reminded Gray of moments he used to have with his co-workers in the past. Back when work felt less like obligation and more like belonging.The air in the staff room had become noticeably lighter compared to when he first entered a few hours ago. Tension had dissolved somewhere between the pizza delivery and the second round of jokes.Empty pizza boxes were stacked in one corner of the room. Opened boxes of chicken sat between paper plates and half-finished drinks. The scent of garlic and cheese still lingered faintly in the air, mixing with the smell of cola and the warmth of too many bodies in one space.As the workers ate, they shared memories they had in the company. Some were funny. Others were bitter. Most were both.Someone cracked a joke about how one of the guys got caught sleeping in the storage room once by W
Chapter 117: Small Comforts
When the weekend arrived, Gray did some work even though it was a rest day.After working continuously for three weeks, his body had already adjusted to waking up early. He had no alarms set, but he still stirred a little before seven, rolled to one side, and stared blankly at the ceiling for a few quiet minutes.He was already thinking about that list again.With a sigh, Gray finally sat up and swung his legs over the bed. The floor felt cool beneath his feet.It was time to get up.By eight-thirty, he was already in the living room, sitting in front of his open laptop. The screen glowed softly in the morning light.On the other hand, Lily was on the couch, coloring some books for her pastime. She hummed quietly to herself, tongue poking out slightly in concentration. He glanced at her for a moment before his eyes drifted back to the screen. The notepad sat beside his coffee mug, its pages already creased and a little bent from how many times he'd flipped through it.He opened it aga
Chapter 118: The Reveal
The next week passed faster than he had expected. By the time Monday morning rolled around, most of the furniture and appliances he had ordered had already arrived at the grocery store. They came early, even before the main shift began, so only a few workers saw the trucks pull into the service entrance. They probably assumed it was just a standard restock for the store. Gray stood near the back hallway with a clipboard in one hand and coffee in the other, quietly watching the boxes being wheeled in one after another. He had arrived extra early just for this. There were chairs, a fridge, a new microwave, fresh lockers, a medium-sized sofa, and a few more tables. It wasn't anything extravagant, but he made sure that everything was sturdy and would last the employees a long time. He moved through the list carefully, glancing up every now and then as the crew unloaded everything. The sound of wheels squeaking against tile echoed in the quiet hallway. He was able to get every
Chapter 119: We Did It
"Holy crap..." Gray chuckled under his breath and set his clipboard down. "So, how was it, everyone?" He turned his head to the employees who were all gathered at the door. "Do you like it?" There was a second of silence before the room erupted all over again. "Like it? Sir, this is insane!" one of the girls laughed, stepping fully into the room with both hands raised in disbelief. "I thought you were just being nice that day when you visited, but this? This is too much." "Yes, Sir! This is too much!" someone else muttered under their breath with widened eyes. "Woah! Everything on the list is here!" Another one said out loud. Her voice was filled with a mixture of surprise and gratitude. "Even the fridge... the sofa... the chairs... You actually bought them, Sir!" "You all deserve better," Gray said simply. The employees exchanged glances, almost like they were waiting for someone else to say something. Eventually, Jen took a small step forward, clutching the strap of her bag
Chapter 120: The Right Manager
By mid-afternoon, Gray was back in his office.He leaned back in his chair with his blazer draped over the armrest and sleeves still rolled up. His laptop was open, but his eyes weren't on it.Instead, he was watching the little swirl of steam rising from his freshly brewed cup of coffee.Knock. Knock.While he was in his own little world, a soft knock sounded at the door."Come in."Gray looked up as Marcus stepped inside. He was holding a folder in one hand as he walked toward his table."Hope I'm not interrupting anything.""Not at all," Gray said, gesturing him in.Marcus nodded and stepped fully inside. He placed the folder on the desk before pulling the usual visitor chair slightly closer. He didn't sit just yet."How was your visit?" he asked with a faint smile. "I heard you were at the store again this morning."Gray let out a quiet chuckle and finally leaned forward."It was pretty nice. I just wanted to check in on the staff room upgrade. The items came in early, so I helped
