Chapter 54: Strange
Caramel looked up al Grey and he feared what she was going to ask him Caramel was someone Grey
should avoid because she was 100 inquisitive,
But what could he do after his wife had given her permission to take him anywhere
“Let’s go,” she announced suddenly, startling Grey for another moment
Though, he wondered how someone with his kind of car could be at the event Grey hadn’t seen a car
like his since he brought it Well, only three were produced as he had heard from the girls,
They stepped inside the spacious hall, with marble floors and gym machines scattered abroad.
A lot of people were around already and checking out the new machines
What can you do here? Which one will you like to try first? Caramel asked to clear the air around them
Grey’s gaze searched around slowly, as he gave each machine deep scrutiny
He loved to go to the gym when he was so young that it wasn’t even surprising that he had four sets of
abs when he was fourteen It was what his father wanted since he was always training him so hard
That day, he gifted him a car key, which he was supposed to start using when he clocked 18. Well,
Grey never knew what the car looked like
“Maybe the Treadmill. It helps to relax and prepare the body for the next course of training,” he
explained
Caramel looked up at him and smiled. You sounded like an instructor
He laughed as they both joined the rest in checking the machine
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt*Caramel!” A voice boomed from behind them
They both whiled towards the direction from where the voice came from but it was Caramel that spoke
“Alex” She yelled happily and moved to embrace him She pulled back after a while “How have you
been?
“Fine,” he smiled ‘I thought you wouldn’t show up. I’m so happy you came,” he expressed
Alex, you’ve got a nice place And!” She turned to look at Grey, then she mouthed for him to move
closer. So, this is Grey. He loves to go to the gym and would frequent this place”
Wow! Alex was pleased.” My first customer,” he extended his hand for a handshake * Alex
“Grey,” he muttered and took his hand
“Grey?” A surprising look flickered across his face. “Grey Fox?”
“How did you know that?” It was Caramel’s turn to be surprised
No, Grey was more than shocked. Alex’s hand wasn’t at all as soft as he had expected. He had a
strong hand which might not have been achieved by a frequent visit to the gym. Who could he be?
Alex smiled again “Is that his name? I didn’t know,” he held Grey’s hand even harder, squeezing it
slowly I just guessed that since they looked so good together,” he laughed
Grey stared down at their entwined hands but he wasn’t at all affected by the pressure that Alex was
giving him
“Caramell’ Another voice joined and the two men linally let go of their hands
There was something about Alex bul Grey couldn’t place it. As far as he was concerned, he had never
seen him So, he wondered how he knew what his full name was.
“Oh, you are here,’ Caramel remarked and clung to Grey suddenly
Grey looked up at Liam advancing towards them
“Oh, I see that you came with your boyfriend,’ he showed his indignation,
“Yes, as you can see that we are inseparable,” Caramel boasted.
Grey wrapped his arms around her, pulling her closer as well “Any problem with that?”
Liam looked over at Grey and saw the frown on his face. He remembered how he had twisted his hand
and nearly removed it from the socket.
He suppressed a shudder and looked over at Alex instead. “It’s time to officially open your gymnastics,
he announced
Alex nodded, ” Thank you,” he turned to give Grey a last look before walking away with Liam
Caramel waited for Liam to be out of sight before she pulled away from Grey ‘Do you know Alex? He’s
giving out a vibe that looks like he knows you”
Seriously?* Grey was looking at him as he walked to the middle of the room He took the microphone *1
got the feeling as well. But I don’t know him and I don’t think he does as well. He might have guessed
the name, as he had explained,” Grey informed, though it looked as though he was merely trying to
convince himsell, instead of Caramel
“So, for the opening I would like some volunteers to try out my machines and see how it goes I
sincerely hope that these volunteers patronize me after today, Alex said and laughed
We are volunteering, night?” Caramel whispered to Grey
Grey nodded quickly. That’s why we are here, to have fun Isn’t it?”
Caramel laughed “Surel And to work out!” She added with a touch of sarcasm
Four men walked out, along with three women
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“We need five men and five women,” Alex insisted
Grey and Caramel walked out as well and applause filled the air
“Thank you so much for coming out You guys will move to the dressing room and change your attire.
Nice workout wear is awaiting you in the locker. The guys are supposed to take their left, while the
ladies should take their right,” he explained as everyone complied.
A piece of soft music filled the air as Alex eventually placed the microphone on the table and moved to
speak with the man that just entered the hall. Actually, it was the man that has a car that looks like
Grey’s car
“Let’s play our little game,” Caramel said suddenly, jerking Grey out of his scrutiny. “What are you
looking at?” She made to turn around but Grey cupped her face in his hands quickly because he didn’t
want her to see the man
“What game are you talking about?” He asked to distract her.
“Whoever comes out last will buy lunch! She rushed the words, then hurried towards the right exit
Grey looked behind her for a moment. “That’s called cheating! Then he laughed and decided to hurry
up If he seriously wanted 10 WIN
Three men walked past Grey, already in their workout wear
Grey entered the dressing room that looked more like a combination of the dressing room and toilets
and bathroom. There were different small rooms around
Grey saw the lockers and moved nearer. There was an indication on it Three of the lockers were
opened, which means the workout wear would be in the remaining two lockers
Just as he proceeded to open the locker, it looked like someone was behind him Someone was
sneaking up on him The person was so quiet but Grey could hear
