Secretly The Billionaire Boss

Chapter 29: Encounter with Giovanni‘s men
The auction was over after the last bid but Grey stayed behind as well as Aphrodite. Grey didn‘t know what she was thinking
about but since he wanted to speak with her, he decided to stay behind Grey turned to look at Saint. “Can you get Alfred to pay
for the jewelry? I don‘t have that amount with me.”
Saint smiled.” I will do that,” he said and walked out of the hall. Grey looked back at Aphrodite, just in time for her to stand up.
She started toward the door. “Miss Aphrodite,” he called quickly. “Will you give me a few minutes with you?” He said politely and
stood up as well.
Aphrodite looked back at him, her stare cold. “What business do I have with you, Mr. Grey?” She was still angry and her face
was a piece of evidence.
Grey smiled and walked closer to her, topping her with several inches. “You do look beautiful when you are angry,” he taunted.
He was doing the opposite of what Gregory told him never to do.
Aphrodite regarded him for a moment, then she smiled softly. “You think?”
Grey smiled as well. “I will do anything to tease you again, just to see your beautiful face.” Aphrodite took a step forward so that
they are close now.” Are you a newbie? Don‘t you know the rules?” Grey shook his head slightly.” There are no rules when it
comes to a pretty lady. Anyways, I‘m Grey Fox,” he extended his hand. Aphrodite stared at his hand for a moment and ignored it.
The door opened suddenly and several men rushed in, to stand behind Aphrodite. “Is everything alright, miss Aphrodite?” One of
the men asked. Grey pulled Aphrodite by her hand quickly, so that she would be forced to hug him. He pulled her closer to his
chest and leaned towards her ear.
“I thought you of all people will recognize who I am. This is Hercules, your boss.”
Aphrodite went numb for a moment.” What? Hercules?” She was more than surprised.
Grey pulled back to look at her. “Don‘t say it aloud. I’m undercover.”
“What are you doing? Get Aphrodite now!” One of the men ordered. “Wait!” Aphrodite stopped them quickly, then she looked up
at Grey. “Grey Fox?” She smiled. “it‘s truly your name.!’ Grey spread his arms in defeat.” I told you.” Aphrodite used the
opportunity to hit him in the chest. “That is for leaving me ten years ago.” Grey groaned and smiled at the same time. It was at
that moment that he remembered he had met Aphrodite severally before the accident.

Novia had always been very brave when they were very young and she loved hanging out with Grey. She was also strict. No one
was supposed to tease or flatter her unless it was Grey Only Grey could get away from it.
Aphrodite‘s smile widened as she watched him stand straightened up again. She took another step closer to fill the space in
between them. Then, she slipped a business card into his hand “Call me. Don‘t, if you dare,” and she turned around to leave,
with a wide grin plastered across her face.
And just like that, Grey had conquered another of his elders. He wondered how surprised Gregory would be if he heard.
Saint walked inside and moved to Grey. “Here‘s the jewelry. It has been paid for.” Grey squeezed the business card in his hand
and turned to look at the jewelry, a side lopped smile on his face.
“What are you going to do with the jewelry?”
Grey regarded it for a moment and smiled Maybe it would serve as the best gilt later on.” Let‘s go,” he told him instead He kept
the business card in his pocket and decided to give calling Aphrodite a thought later Walking out of the hall and the first thing he
saw was the car in front of the restaurant. The car looked exactly like Avery‘s car
“Is anything wrong?” Saint asked when he realized that Grey was reluctant to leave
Grey was still looking at the car when Avery walked out of the restaurant with Caramel
Grey looked at Saint, “you will have to go without me,” he dipped into his pocket for the key and stretched it out.” Put the jewelry
inside my car and drive my ear to Alfred‘s company. I will bring it home tomorrow,” he explained in a voice that lett no room for
more words Instead, started towards Avery
Caramel was the first to see him “Grey!” She jubilated
Avery frowned, disappointed. She turned to look at Grey “What are you doing here?” +
Grey regarded her for a moment at how beautifully she was dressed. “Well, I came here to eat. And when I saw you, I knew I
would get a free ride home.”
“Not in my car,” Avery murmured and opened her door. “Don‘t do that Avery, he‘s your husband after all, “Caramel protested.
“No, he‘s not!” Avery was adamant. She entered the car and shut the door. Then she looked up at Caramel. “Are you entering
the car or not?”

“No, I‘m not going to do that. I will take him home if you won‘t let him ride.”
Avery turned to look at her quickly. “No! Don‘t do that! He can get a taxi home!” * But he doesn‘t want that,” Caramel insinuated.”
If you don‘t let him get in, I will take him home then.”
Avery didn‘t like the fact that Caramel was being supportive of Grey. Also, she knew that Caramel was serious but Avery didn‘t
want any intimacy between Grey and Caramel
She opened the door to look at Grey. “You can come in.”
Grey smiled and opened the door. “Thank you so much, Avery, you are a lifesaver. I didn‘t want to spend the last dollar with me.”
Avery scoffed. He wasn‘t even ashamed to say in front of her friend that he had only a dollar left with him.
Caramel laughed. “See, he‘s grateful.”
Avery huffed. “I don‘t need his words of baubles.!‘
Caramel laughed harder and looked back at Grey. She noticed that the suit he was wearing was an expensive one.” Isn‘t that
Dormeiul Vanquish?” “Dormeiul Vanquish? I thought I got you a tuxedo suit. How did you get this suit?” “Alfred gave me an
advance payment. So, I got some suits with it.” Avery huffed again.” What kind of husband gets an advance payment?”
“Well, I only want to look good for you,” Grey opined.
“He looks good anyways, too handsome, like a hot cake,” Caramel teased.
Avery felt a slap on her face. Did Caramel just refer to Grey as being handsome? Caramel was gentle and calm unlike her other
friends, yet, she was still very choosy. She wondered why she thought Grey was handsome. “Hey! Watch out!” Caramel yelled
suddenly and jerked Avery out of her thoughts quickly.
Two cars were suddenly standing in the middle of the road.
Avery pulled to a stop quickly before she would collide with the car. Some men walked out of the car, to block Avery‘s way as
well. “what the fuck are these?” Avery asked, skeptical and annoyed.
“That‘s Marco, Giovanni‘s men,” Caramel answered. “What the fuck do they want from me?” Avery asked with fright.
