Chapter 326: Claim
Grey had difficulties taking in what was really happening and he was forced to swallow the wine even though he knew what it was all about.
"Novia, what are you doing?" Grey muttered.
Aphrodite smiled. "Don't get up Grey if you don't want them to see your face. They are all in anticipation of what you look like," she glanced around.
Do you want more wine?"
Maybe Aphrodite wouldn't do anything if she hadn't confessed her feelings. Or maybe she wouldn't have talked if Grey hadn't asked. It was all Grey's fault.
"I'm fine, just give back my mask."
Aphrodite chuckled, unwilling to release it.
"It's an order, Novia, from Hercules!" He muttered thickly.
Aphrodite's expression changed slightly and she reluctantly covered him. She took the wine and left.
Grey got up and stared behind her for a moment. He looked away and caught some ladies blushing. They were very much expecting Grey to follow Aphrodite or maybe they thought that was going to happen. If only they know.
Grey let out a sigh and looked up at Maria just as when she was moving closer to him.
Maria got closer. "Everything is set. We should start soon. We only need to check that where you and Aphrodite will be staying is well-lit and good," she explained.
Grey nodded once. "Alright. Be fast with it. I still need to go to the police station," he informed her.
Maria nodded once and turned away.
Grey’s phone vibrated. It was a message from Alfred. Alex was truly stuck and there was nowhere he would escape prison.
His isolation and embarrassment wouldn't amount to what he was forced to pass through but the thought of what Alex was going to pass through gave him a purge of happiness.
At least, he was able to do something like that to him.
And it is a cause for celebration. He would have wine that night for celebration, only him. That was enough for him. And that would stop him from thinking about Caramel. Caramel was gone already and was slowly becoming a thing of his past.
That particular thought jolted a part in him. Beatrice called him two days back but they couldn't talk because he had to be somewhere immediately. And he hadn't been able to call back.
He must definitely call her back when he was done with the shooting.
Maria moved closer to him again. "We are set, sir. You should move to the stage so that we can start," she explained.
Aphrodite showed up as well as if she knew that the shoot was about to start.
Grey stood and was led to where he was supposed to sit. Aphrodite was told to sit beside him by the right.
"Hi, I'm Grey Fox, the CEO of Protos Pubblicita," he started.
Aphrodite regarded him for a moment before she smiled at the screen. "I'm Aphrodite, as you can see," she laughed.
