Secretly The Billionaire Boss by Debbie chocolate novel Chapter 15

Chapter 15: Mistaken identity

Peter looked over at Gregory as if he still couldn‘t believe what was happening. Then, back at Jayden, with a blank expression. But he knew with Jayden‘s facial expression that he meant business.

He wondered however why they were helping the delivery man. Slowly, he bent down to pick the pieces. He turned to leave but stopped slightly to look at Grey, wondering why the manager and the strange rich man were protecting him. He held his anger in check and walked out. Not that he could help it anyway. He might really lose his job for real. “Where the fuck have you been all this while?” Jayden was very happy. Grey sighed.“who are you to my father?” He asked instead, ignoring his question. “One of the elders,” he replied.

“Hercules is back,” Gregory said from behind. “But no one is supposed to know yet until we see Charles,” he suggested.

Jayden nodded briefly.” Yes, we have a spy amidst us. We can‘t risk Hercules‘s life.”

Grey raised skeptical brows.” Spy?” Gregory nodded. “Charles will tell you in detail. But I guess you will have to keep on a low profile for a while. I have no idea when Charles will be back,” he mumbled and moved to get himself some coffee. “whoever killed Grey‘s father is who we need to find. Who knows, perhaps the spy is someone very close to us.”

Grey thought for a moment. Perhaps, Charles was a betrayal like his father. He didn‘t want to trust him at all. That aside, it seemed like no one knew that Leo was a betrayal and the man that killed his father. And he was also the one that shot him

“How many elders do I have in this mafia business and what are their names?” Grey asked suddenly.

Jayden turned to be able to look at him.” Charles, Alfred, Gregory, Luciano, 1, and Aphrodite.” “Wait what?” Grey stared, shocked. “A female is part of the elders?”

Jayden nodded. “She is and she‘s the only one. Her mother died one year ago and Aphrodite has taken over.”

“Don‘t underestimate her, Hercules,” Gregory blurted in quickly.” She‘s the strongest woman I have ever seen. She‘s calculative and pretty but she‘s one hell of a woman.” Grey raised a brow.” What do you mean by that?” Gregory stood and moved closer with two cups of coffee. He stretched out one to Grey which he accepted.

“Stubborn. If you ever know me, then you will know hers is twice mine. And she‘s not easily brought.”

Grey understood what he meant. If Gregory had refused to accept her initially, he wondered what Aphrodite‘s behavior would be.

“I guess you should meet with her soon. She‘s not easily convinced. She‘s stiff–necked,” Jayden explained with a smirk.

Gregory smiled.” I don‘t think it will be an issue for Hercules. He wasn‘t the kind of man I ought him to be,” he walked back to the chair.

Jayden turned to look at him with skeptical brows. “Don‘t tell me Hercules defeated you?”

Gregory laughed. “Because he‘s Hercules.“.. Grey smiled. “I need to get going. We will meet later. I will arrange a meeting when I‘m done meeting all the elders,” he decided. Jayden nodded briefly.” How much are you supposed to get? I will settle it out with Peter later on.”

“I want just one million. The remaining 99 millions should be credited into a new account of mine. I don‘t want to arouse suspicion. And this money is supposed to be from Alfred‘s account.”

Jayden nodded again.” Stay here, I will be back,” he didn‘t wait for a reply before he rushed out.

Grey moved closer to Gregory and gently placed his empty cup of coffee. “Is there something about Aphrodite that you know?”
