Secretly The Billionaire Boss by Debbie chocolate novel Chapter 290

Chapter 290: Plots

Leo woke up with a loud yelp. He was soaked in his perspiration but he felt a lot better. Though his head was still seriously banging and there were bandages all over his body.

"Are you ok?" Alfred demanded suddenly.

Leo looked over at him and slowly nodded. "I feel good now."

Alfred released a sigh. "That's good. Giovanni took you, right?"

Leo relaxed. "Yes, he did."

Though, he didn't believe that he had already agreed to be Giovanni's spy. Not only that, he had told him everything about Hercules, and he had betrayed Hercules twice.

He didn't even know how long he could carry the burden.

"Thankfully, we found you earlier. What was he planning on doing with you?"

"He was-," he hesitated and gestured towards nothing in particular. "He wants me to be the spy but I disagree. I guess he was going to kill me when you found me," he lied.

Alfred nodded as a sign of encouragement. "You should be fine by morning," he assured.

Leo nodded briefly and Alfred walked out of the room.

Leo regarded him for a moment until he was out of sight. He closed his eyes in regret. What was he going to do?

How was he going to face Rio again?

Caramel woke up late that morning in Grey's arms. She slept so peacefully and Grey didn't want to wake her up. i

Instead, he got ready for the day. He walked downstairs to meet with Beatrice. He initially told Beatrice to get prepared because he wants her to go with Caramel.

"How are you doing?” Grey said suddenly, startling Beatrice for a moment.

Beatrice turned over to look at him. "Good morning Boss,” there was this nice smile on her face. She looked so happy. Grey could tell.

"Good morning," Grey greeted and turned to grab a bottle of water.

"I've made breakfast," she announced. "You can get dressed while I set the table."

Grey nodded briefly and gulped down the water. "Caramel seemed to be having a nice sleep."

"I’m glad that happened."

Grey turned to look at her. "Three of my men are boarding with you. They will be your guards when you reach your location. Just make sure you call me if anything happens," he advised.

Beatrice smiled even wider. 'Thank you so much, Hercules. I really appreciate it."

Grey reciprocated the smile. "You are always welcome, Beatrice. You've been so loyal to my mom, it's time to have your life. We will take up from here," he assured.

"Call me if you need any help with the production."

Grey shook his head briefly. "We won’t, I will handle it," he assured her." And you had the better dish out the food because I'm on my way."

It was relatively late but it was better to be late than never.

Leo reached for his phone. It was the phone that Alfred gave to him that morning. In case anything happens, Leo was supposed to call and alert him.

Alfred picked up immediately. "Hello, Leo. Is everything alright?" Leo was supposed to call him only if something was happening and he thought something was really happening.

"Not really Alfred. I have something to tell you and the elders."

"Ok. Do you remember something already?"

There was hesitation from Leo’s side. "I’ve never lost anything. It was only a pretence and I'm ready to tell you and Hercules everything."

Silence ensued from the other end for a few seconds. "Alright, I will call the elders' attention to it. We will meet you at home soon," he assured in a calm voice.

Well, Alfred was the eldest. He, Rio, and Leo were age mates. And the fact that Alfred was taking everything calm amazes him. He wondered what Grey would do after he learned of the truth.

Alex stood up in anticipation as the door opened and a man rushed inside." Yes?"

The man nodded briefly. "I got several strands of hair as I didn’t know if he was the only one that used the comb. But I got it from his room."

Alex thought for a moment. "Yes, Caramel could have been in his room. I will just run a test with each and every one of them."

The man nodded and stretched out a transparent bag filled with hairs.

"It’s time to identify Grey."
