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."
