Chapter 211 - Gray’s Decision 2 (2/2)
”Gosh, you're so cheeky.” Sato slowly stood up and went ahead to change into something more presentable. He left the room after a short while.
Gray had already told him where his father's study room was and so, Sato, with heavy feet, made his way over. Taking a deep breath in and out, he knocked on the door and entered the room to see the older man. Alex had his eyes closes with one hand rubbing the temples on his head.
”Come take a seat.” Alex said after opening his eyes. Sato obliged.
”What were you looking for me for, sir?” Sato automatically went back to being polite.
”It should've been quite obvious that I was being very rude with you, correct? Every time Gray had spoken about me, I am sure it was never anything good.” Alex did not mince his words. This made Sato laugh nervously as he did not know how to reply to such a question. In the end, Alex continued speaking, making the atmosphere less awkward. ”Don't worry. That was a rhetorical question. Although I am more leaning towards Gray having a traditional family, I am usually open to modern concepts of same-s.e.x marriage. However, a few years ago, I had encountered a problem that stumped me for a good period of time and only now, did my vision become clear again.”
For the third time, Alex explained the story again. Sato, being a complete outsider, was actually quite familiar with the world trends. The Lee and Tabola family were families known by everyone in the world. Just that, now, the Tobion family was added into the mix. Hearing that Gray had declined the marriage between him and a lady from the Lee Family, it made Sato very flattered.
”You should be able to see what I problem I am facing now correct?”
Sato nodded. With his high IQ, Sato could see what problem the Tobion family head was currently facing.
”If you decline their proposal, this would mean that the Tobion family business would most definitely be facing pressure on all sides by the two other families.”
”Correct.” Alex nodded, knowing that the boy was indeed very bright. ”Just now, Gray had already declined the marriage proposal adamantly and with it, he had proposed a new plan.”
Looking up at Sato, he did not hide anything from the young man. ”Gray had told me that you would be willing to help us, the Tobion family out of this predicament.”
”Me? Wh..What can I do to help?” Sato pointed at himself cluelessly. Seeing Sato's humble nature, it reassured Alex more so that Gray's proposal was possible.
