Secretly The Billionaire Boss by Debbie chocolate novel Chapter 279

Chapter 279: Preparation

Grey looked down at his men from a corner. Even though they were worried about the fact that some of their men might pull back at the news, the turn-up was still massive. Hercules has a lot of men and Gregory got the right ship for it.

Grey's eyes searched around quickly for Caramel as if he would see her amid the crowds.

The ship has taken off already and Grey knew that she would be inside somewhere. He didn't know if he was doing the right thing by letting her in but he sure knew that he would lose her if he didn't. And well, Caramel might eventually find it out and the funniest part is that it might be clear to Alex sooner than later who he was.

And he wouldn't be able to harm Caramel. He wouldn't! There was no way he would order something like that.

Gregory walked closer to him. "Boss! We are far from the shore already. I think we should start whatever you plan," he informed.

Grey let out a sigh and looked at him. "Gather the elders, I'm coming out soon," he ordered.

Gregory nodded briefly and walked away.

Grey entered the dressing room.

The door opened almost immediately and Aphrodite stepped inside. Grey eyes went wide with surprise.

"What are you doing here? I thought you were in Italy?"

Aphrodite smiled. "You didn't think I would miss something so important like this for anything? You are my first task, you should have called me," she complained.

Grey smiled softly. "I didn't want to disturb you. You were so busy over there."

Aphrodite moved closer to him and stopped in front of him." I am your left hand. I am like your mother among the elders. This shouldn't have happened without me. I don't want to miss this either," she said softly.

Grey sighed and pulled her into a bear hug. "I'm sorry, Novia. Thanks for coming," he pulled back and grinned wildly. "Put a smile on me, Novia."

Aphrodite smiled and turned away. "You sure know how to get me. Let's get you dressed."

Grey hesitated. "With you here?"

Aphrodite laughed. "I'm not leaving Grey. Oh," she turned over to him again and there was a teasing smile on her face. "Are you worried? That I would see your nakedness? Never mind, I'm fit for it. I'm your mistress after all," she announced.

"But." Grey started, still skeptical but Aphrodite cut in quickly.

"I know you and Avery have divorced."

"Yes, we have," he confirmed. "But I have a girlfriend already. N

Aphrodite nodded briefly. "A girlfriend but not a wife. I still have a chance." She muttered.

Grey didn't understand what Aphrodite was talking about. He opened his mouth to say something else but Aphrodite was quick to talk.
