Is he. The........ Gordon Grey?

Joe was about to speak, when Gordon himself showed up behind and made a sign to him,  not to say anything.

Very few persons know him, and he likes it that way.

He wore a casual outfit, which didn't particularly befit his standards as the Wealthiest man.

Amelia was very happy to see her father, but she was too weak to move to him, so he had to move to them.

"I'm so sorry I'm late. It was a very serious issue. Are you hurt? Gordon asked.

"Daddy, they were bullying mum". Came Amelia's tiny innocent voice.

Gordon smiles at her. She is so empathetic. She thinks of others before herself. Rosaline is like that too.

Gordon stood tall looking  up at them, he made a fist.  Sandra sized him from head to toe and just like that, she started laughing.

"Hahahahaha". She laughed so hard, she almost fell.

"So this is the man you fell for?

This is the man you settled for?

This is the man you plan to spend the rest of your miserable life with? She asked as she  continued laughing.

Rosaline looked more confident now, Gordon is around. She knows him, and his true identity.

"I really feel for you Rose. I mean, who could have thought, that a promising young girl like you, would end up like this? She says, sounding sarcastic, then she turned to Gordon, who had a smirk, escaping from the side of his mouth. Keeping it together wasn't working.

"So you are the man who plans to use her. Huh?

I remember you". She says, as she got closer to him. "You are that guy from the other day. The day I threw her out of the house she work so desperately to keep". She grabbed Roseline, causing Amelia to fall from her hold. Roseline didn't want to appear weak, so she fought back. She slapped Sandra, and pushed her aside.

"Security, get her!

Sandra  commanded and some men on uniform approaches Rosaline.

"If you touch her, you will regret it". Joe spoke, while Gordon found himself a seat. He pulled Rosaline and Amelia closer to him and then he whispered.

"I'm sorry I'm late, but you need to relax, because the show, have just begun. This is my first time out, and I plan to enjoy it to the fullest".

"Mr Joe, why are you defending them? Came Sandra's sad voice.

"You work for Gordon Grey. The wealthiest man in the country and you allow this low life fool you?

"I see, just because she is wearing a fancy dress, doesn't mean she is worth a hundred thousand. She is broke, she will add no value to what we are here to do today". Joe didn't say anything, so Sandra continued.

"Look, I don't know what she has given you or how many times she had to spread her legs to  satisfy you but.....

Gordon didn't let her say the next statement. He rushed at her and slapped her across the face. Sandra held her cheek as they burn. She cries out like a baby, clutching to Steven to fight back.

"I'm sorry you had to see that". Gordon says to his daughter, who looked shocked as she had never seen her father hit anyone before, especially a woman.

"Rosaline, please take Amelia to the VIP and let her have something to drink". That was a command. Rosaline quickly did as she was told.

"You cannot insult me like that, I will deal with you". Came Sandra's trembling voice, while still holding her burning cheek.

Steven carefully walked towards her and whispered in her ears.

"He is too confident to be an ordinary person, what if he is the...Gordon Grey?

Steven's whisper turned out to be louder than the entire noise in the hall, and others started murmuring, Sandra seem to want to believe him too, but as soon as she set eyes on his foot wear, she burst into a loud smile.

"There is no way in hell, he is Gordon Grey. What are you, Steven Audrey?

Twelve?

This is some low class boxer, just because he looks strong and can take on so many men in a fight does not make him the wealthiest man. If he is the Gordon Grey, how come there is no convoy, how come Joe isn't bowing to him this minute, how come, no elite in this hall recognizes him? Sandra's argument seem to hold water.

Steven nodded.

"You are right Sandra, I was almost fooled".

"You are an imposter, you should be kicked out, and what is worse, you are claiming to be Gordon Grey". Sandra screamed at the top of her voice and others joined.

"You should be running, else, what is coming to you, would be gruesome". Came the security guard's voice.

Joe wanted to act, but Gordon seem to be enjoying the entire show, he gave him a sign not to act.

Gordon then raised his hands in a surrender form.

"I never claimed to be Gordon Grey, it's just that, I happen to know him and I am representing him today". He spoke as though he was suddenly scared, and that gave Sandra some sort of satisfaction.

"Lier!

Sandra shouted.

"Mr Joe is here to represent him, not you". Sandra says, moving closer to Gordon, who was ready to give her another sound slap.

Joe couldn't take it anymore, he stepped in between them.

"The gala is about to start. I don't want any form of noise whatsoever in this hall, by the time the event is over, you all can tear each other apart".

"Oh I will, I will tear this imposter to shreds". Steven spoke with finality, then Sandra whispered.

"Then if Sir Gordon Grey hears how we defended his honour in his absence, he would greatly appreciate us".  Sandra added.

"Good day everyone, it is an honor to be here, and seeing all these beautiful faces, I officially welcome you all to the 15th, charity gala of the GG group.

The GG group,  have been the sole sponsor of this event for the past fifteen years now and counting.

We appreciate the Chairman of GG group in the person of Sir, Gordon Grey".

Mr Leo the speaker of the event was brief and straight forward. After the applaud, he continued.

"Today, so many poor homes will smile, homeless children will feel safe, and those hoping for connections with the GG group will have it today.

We already have some names approved for the direct connection to the GG group and first thing tomorrow morning, they are encouraged to visit the GG head quarters to meet the Chief in person". Mr Leo went on and on, until he finished calling out all the companies that have made it through the list and surprisingly, Steven Audrey's company was mentioned.

Rosaline turned to look at Gordon Grey, but he didn't look back at her, he only smiled.
