Secretly The Billionaire Boss by Debbie chocolate novel Chapter 29

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
