Demon CEO's Hidden Love: Mr Grayson Stole Me From My Abusive Husband
Chapter 83: Sudden Visit From The Young Master

Chapter 83: Sudden Visit From The Young Master

Director Flynn roughly massaged his nose, playing off the intent gazes thrown at him from all angles. He hated having the final decision thrown his way, but then again this was how things were supposed to go.

"Brooke." He called out to her.

"Y-Yes, sir." She stuttered.

"I’m not going to lie and tell you that your acting was the best I’ve seen, it isn’t, to be honest. But, I’m also not going to lie and say I can’t see your potential. This is a passion project, and our little company might disband after this one movie releases." He explained, riling up the rest of the judges by telling their secret to an unofficial actress.

Brooke held her breath, waiting for the disappointing news to kick in.

"So let me ask you something, are you willing to carry this movie on your shoulders? Whether it becomes a hit or miss is going to be up to you entirely. As an actor, can you shoulder that responsibility?" Flynn’s eyes darkened, and his expression contorted into an intimidating face.

Brooke exhaled sharply and replied calmly. "If I wanted the easy path, I would’ve done as the president said and taken a minor role. But, I’m not here to create small waves. So no matter what hell awaits me, I am not going to yield."

The director nodded, "In that case, I vote..."

Brooke walked briskly out of the hotel towards the awaiting car outside. As soon as she got into the car, she took out her phone and tried to call Hannah, but she wasn’t answering.

"Driver, please take me to the hospital, I want to see Mr Grayson." Brooke announced.

The driver pursued his lips, "Miss Brooke, I’m not sure that’s a good idea-"

"Please! I just want to see how he’s doing. That can’t be asking too much." Her eyes pleaded with him, making the driver’s resolve waver.

He figured that the audition might’ve not gone well and she wanted to be with her lover for comfort.

"Alright Miss Brooke, but you have to speak up for me if Gilbert chews me out for this." He suggested.

Brooke nodded, although she didn’t know how she would persuade someone like Gilbert into not scolding him.

The driver started the car and drove her to the hospital, a very large hospital that Brooke was stunned existed in the city. Brooke took out her phone once more and tried to make a call before making another move.

’I already cause too much trouble everytime I go out, I shouldn’t-’ she held that thought when her phone rang, and it was Hannah calling.

"Miss Brooke, where are you?!" She demanded, her tone frantic. "I just arrived at the hotel and you aren’t here. I’ve called the staff at home, and you aren’t there either."

"I’m at the hospital-"

"Hospital?" She heard her groan, "Miss Brooke why are you there? Please, come back immediately!" She pleaded, as though there was something she did not want Brooke seeing.

Brooke had never heard Hannah so worked up before, it made her nervous. "Don’t worry, I haven’t stepped out of the car, so no one knows I’m here. But Hannah, I’m worried about Mr Grayson, can’t I please see him?"

"The young master is fine, Gilbert was overreacting about his condition, he isn’t getting flown out of the country." She assured her, "Now please come back home."

Brooke’s heart skipped a beat.

Mr Grayson was fine?

Could she believe that?

Gilbert sounded very worried over the phone, was he just overreacting?

"Miss Brooke! Miss Brooke-" Hannah’s calls snapped Brooke out of her thoughts. She blinked twice and reclined into her seat.

"Oh sorry, I spaced out." She said, signalling the driver to go back. "Alright Hannah, I’m going back, you can return home too."

Hannah sighed in relief. "That’s good. I’ll see you home." She said then the line went dead.

"Miss Brooke is everything alright now? You sounded so upset you couldn’t see Mr Grayson and worried about him too." The driver piped up.

Brooke sighed, "I was told his condition wasn’t that serious, he needs his rest, so I’ll go home and cook him something nice and warm." She smiled at the end, picturing the thought.

The driver stole a glance at Brooke’s beaming gleam and casually remarked, "Mr Grayson is very fortunate to have a caring girlfriend like you."

Brooke’s cheeks flushed at the compliment, she knew she should’ve cleared the misunderstanding, but then again, was it really a misunderstanding?

If his staff thought she was his girlfriend then...

Her thoughts were disrupted when the car made a sudden halt, Brooke looked out of the window, to see the other cars in front of them came to a stop as well.

"What’s wrong? Why are we stopping?" She asked.

"It looks like there’s a VIP coming through."

"A VIP?" She watched as the hospital’s security guards all lined up to clear the path for the so called VIP.

The driver answered, "This is the sort of treatment people on the same level as Mr Grayson receive. But I wonder who else in this city could be as rich as he is."

Brooke pursued her lips, as far as she knew, there weren’t that many rich families in the city, at least not of Mr Grayson’s caliber.

As the gray car drove past them, she wondered who could be the one sitting behind the tinted glass of such a luxurious car..

"Doctor, how is the young master’s health?" Gilbert asked as soon as he got off the phone.

The doctor sighed, "We were able to stabilize his condition, it’s a good thing his family’s biotechnology which was supplied finally arrived, that was the only reason he didn’t need to be flown outside the country." He explained.

Gilbert heaved a heavy sigh of relief.

"However, the specialists won’t arrive for another two days, so we will need to keep him here for the time being, under strict observation. Only close family will be allowed to see him." The doctor explained.

"Yes, of course doctor. I’ll make sure no outsider has access to him-"

"Outsider? And who are you calling an outsider, Gilbert?" A masculine voice asked from behind.

Gilbert gasped at the familiar voice, he swiftly looked over his shoulder, where sure enough he saw a taller man with dark hair and eyes matching Thane’s. His scowling expression could not hide the youthful charm etched on his face.

"Young master Grayson!" Gilbert quickly bowed, paying his respect to the second son of the Grayson family.

Matthew Grayson.

"Gilbert, I take it you know what keeping all this from my family entails. Or have you forgotten why my mother hired you in the first place?" Matthew asked, his voice harsh and unforgiving.

The doctor upon noticing the upcoming scene quickly excused himself and retreated to check on his other patients.

Once they were alone, Gilbert responded, "I am well aware my primary duty is to monitor master Grayson’s activities and report back to Madam Grayson..."

"So why haven’t you reported to the main house about this change in his health? Need I remind you that my brother is the heir to our empire, if he were to die on my watch, father would make me suffer for it." He scolded him harshly.

"And I would make your life a living hell!"

Gilbert begged. "Please! Forgive me! I did not mean for this, it was just that Master Grayson did not want anyone knowing about this..." he was saying, but Matthew cut him off by marching towards the hospital room where Thane was admitted.

He stared at his brother through the glass and scoffed, "You bastard." he gritted his teeth, "I would kill to be the one in your position, how dare you act so callously?" He glared at Thane through the glass.

After he had his fill of staring, he turned to Gilbert and announced, "Stay here with him, I’m going to the house."

Gilbert widened his eyes. "Young Master, I did not know you would be staying. I thought your business in this country was finished."

Matthew shot him a cautioning glare. "Are you trying to keep me out of my home? Or is it that you have ulterior motives for hiding all this from the family? What the hell are you using our house for?" He accused him.

Gilbert shook his head, "I would never, I just thought that the young master-"

"That’s enough. Just do your job and stay out of my way." He snapped at him, shushing Gilbert up. Matthew signalled his men to follow him and marched out of the hospital, earning stares from all angles.

Gilbert watched him strut away and couldn’t hide the fear dwelling in his stomach.

"Why is the young master back so suddenly? What do I do now? If someone as willful as the young master meets with Miss Brooke, there’s no telling what will happen." He panicked.
