Grey's Tale ✅

Leave

Mark groaned, he was swamped with work. Now that Grey was on 'vacation' it was up to him to get all the work done

Piles upon piles of paperwork was now in his office, some to be signed, others to be looked over. Did Grey always have this much to do?

Mark thought that he'd speak to Grey on sharing the work load since he was the president of the company. Grey was the CEO and his brother was chairman but not for long he suspected, soon Grey may have the title of CEO and Chairman

With a deep sigh and an aching hand he threw the pen he had on his desk and leaned back on his chair.

"I need a freaking vacation" he huffed. He eyed his glass cabinet which held various types of scotch, whiskey and vodka sadly it was only 11:54 am, maybe at lunch he'll sneak a drink.

'I'll be coming over soon' Mark sent a text to Alexia

'K, should I tell Finn?'

'No, you don't have to. I'd prefer it if I could only talk to you'

'Why?'

'I just want to discuss some stuff'

'Should I be worried then?'

'No sweetheart'

'I'm not your sweetheart' he chuckled

'You're only Grey's sweetheart then?'

'I don't know what you're talking about'

'If that's what you  want to believe.....see you soon'

Mark had grown to like Alexia deeply, no other girl had shown such a deep interest in Grey. He knew it wasn't for money as she didn't know they were rich until it was mentioned to her and from his findings her parents are pretty well off. Her mother being a optometrist, her father a otolaryngologist (ENT/ Ear Nose & Throat Doctor) and her bother a renown architect

Alexia was following in her parents footsteps to gain a PHD, but it was a bit different from her parents seeing as they had little to do with the mental and emotional aspects of the mind

"Mr. Hamilton you have a call" he scoffed

"Who is it?!" His secretary was taken back by his harshness

"Your brother" Mark furrowed his brows

"I'll take the call" he gestured for her to leave and picked up the receiver

"Daniel" a cough greeted Mark

"Sorry about that"

"It's alright, how are you feeling?" He heard a wheeze

"I'm going to die soon" Mark bit his lip

"You shouldn't say things like that" Daniel let out a strained scoff

"Stop lying to yourself Mark, your baby brother is going to die whether it's tomorrow or next year"

"Why do you always have to be so morbid?"

"Someone has to"

"So what do I owe this pleasant call?" He could imagine Daniel's smile

"I'm coming to England"

"Are you sure you're well en-"

"I'm find, I'll come with my bitch of a doctor" Mark smiled

"You've always hated doctors. You'd always refuse to go to them without me" Daniel sucked his teeth
