David felt very annoyed but he was secretly planning on how to go about it with Hercules. He would show Grey how much power he had. When he succeeded in winning Hercules to his side, it would be easy to eliminate Grey out of his way.
“I respect your decision a lot, Grey but have you thought it through before deciding to meet with Mr. Jamal?” Alfred asked. He sat in the back seat with Grey while Saint drove the car.
Grey stared out through the window thoughtfully. “I’ve thought it through. Jamal is the only one that can help me out. And to seek his help would mean I would have to expose my identity to him,” he explained.
“Yes but what if Jamal is working with Giovanni?”
Grey looked at Alfred for a moment, the question sinking in very faster. “I will use my influence on him. Jimmy did some research and discovered that his only son looked forward to working with one of the Italian shoe companies in Italy.” He said briefly, expecting Alfred to grasp the rest. Alfred regarded him for a moment. “You are going to promise him so much?” Grey nodded once. “For keeping my identity in check, yes. As Aphrodite discovered, I have a share there. It will be easy to employ whoever I want.” he looked away.” It would be easy peasy,” he smiled. Alfred laughed.” That’s brilliant! But you might have to show in Italy for that.” Grey shrugged slightly.” So be it. I will do anything to keep my identity at this moment. You sure know what I’m talking about.”
Alfred nodded briefly.” Though, I believe you would be showing your face soon,” he revealed and Grey turned to look at him again.” Alex is out of the way. Some spies are also off. We only need to secure more grounds and you will finally be showing yourself to the world,” he announced.
Grey thought about it and wondered how it would be if people like the family of Robinson knew who he really was. He wondered what Caramel would do and the rest. Though, for some reason he enjoyed actually staying in the shadow. Revenge was sweeter that way. Saint pulled the car into one of the parking spaces. “I will confirm that everything is fine before I call you to enter. That aside, we can’t enter together because we don’t know who might be watching.” Alfred pointed out.
Grey nodded once.” That’s fine,” he responded and watched Alfred finally enter the hotel.
Grey got down as well and made his way toward the restaurant while waiting for Alfred’s call.
“No! Don’t be an idiot. I won’t,” the speaker stopped abruptly as Grey crashed into her. He realized immediately that it was Chloe, Chloe was on a call and bumping into Grey made her drop the phone unknowingly.
Chloe didn’t know that it was Grey. Her gaze went to the phone and a horror gasp escaped her throat. “What have you done to my phone? Are you blind? Don’t you_,” she stopped abruptly
when she looked up and saw who it was. “G_grey?” She stuttered. Shock kept her motionless and speechless.
Grey smiled softly and bent to pick up the phone. He saw how damaged it was as he placed it in Chloe’s shaking hands. Chloe was worried that she had made another silly mistake and she wondered if Grey would forgive her again. Grey took out his card instead and placed it in her arms. “Buy a new phone and return my card.
Chloe’s mouth dropped open in shock.”G_g_grey?” She stammered, as a hard lump suddenly formed in her throat, preventing a word from coming out successfully. Grey nodded briefly as a confirmation. “I damaged your phone, it’s fair that I buy you a new one. You can come to Protos Pubblicita to drop it,” he barely finished the statement when Alfred’s call came through. Knowing what he meant, he turned around and headed towards the hotel without picking up. Chloe stared behind Grey for a moment, unable to believe her ears or her eyes. Well, she didn’t expect Grey to still be kind to her despite how much she had done. If it was someone else, he wouldn’t be worried about her phone. Grey was just kind to have given her a return. “Isn’t that Grey?” Avery said suddenly behind her and she quickly hid the card.
