"We are speaking to his friend. Look for her and make sure you are fast with it. We are not sure who is currently watching you guys. And inform me the moment you have her with you," he informed.
"Alright boss."
Grey hung up and looked up at Aphrodite while she does her thing. A smile escaped him as he got up. He still had a suit on and he was going to change attire.
He went upstairs for a quick shower. He relaxed a bit. He felt like he hasn't been able to have a nice night's rest and it was beginning to tell on him.
With his hands against the wall of the bathroom, he started to think while the water streamed down his body.
Suddenly, he missed Caramel. It felt like she had been gone for a million years. Sadly enough, he doesn't even know if he would ever see her again. It looked to him like she was going to leave him forever. She just used those words on him so that he would let her go willingly.
Grey would have sworn to protect her with his life if she had been calm with him. And it pained him greatly. All girls have been leaving him. His exgirlfriend left him because he was poor, and Caramel left him because he was rich.
What was he supposed to do? Who was he supposed to be? The thought of it sent angry hormones all over his body and he hit the wall angrily.
He didn't even know what he was supposed to be angry at. At this or the death of his parent? Or the fact that the fight was stretching longer between him and Giovanni?
Grey had questions but the answers eluded him.
He released a sigh and walked out of the bathroom. He got dressed in joggers and a t-shirt.
When he walked out of the room, Aphrodite was still in the kitchen, singing.
Grey regarded her for a moment. He remembered them clearly when they were still young. Novia and he were always so close, almost inseparable.
But now, they were almost acting like strangers.
Grey moved closer. "What have you been cooking? Its aroma has filled the whole place," he teased.
Aphrodite turned around towards him, with a bright smile on her face. "Pot roast. I'm going to make it as delicious as ever."
Grey smiled. "I have never tasted a pot roast but how come you know how to cook?”
Aphrodite huffed and turned back to what she was doing. "You wouldn't believe me if I told you that I learned it all from my nanny? My mom was always too busy to even stay around. She was always with Hercules."
Grey chuckled. "She was a very strong woman, always moving with Hercules. It's such a pity you aren't as strong as her," he teased.
Aphrodite looked at him. "Are you teasing me?"
Grey smiled and moved closer to her. "No, I'm not."
"You better be, Grey, or I will kill you!" She laughed.
Grey smiled. "I was just kidding, Aphrodite. You are one of the strongest women I have ever seen or known," he muttered. "And I can't wait to taste your food."
