Chapter 344: Strange
Grey went into a shocking state for a moment as if he didn't even hear what Mark said at first or maybe his ears were playing tricks on him.
Maria must have definitely said a different thing. It was because he missed Caramel and the fact that he just received news of her disappearance.
"What did you just say, Maria?"
"A lady is here to see you. In fact, she has been here for a while and has refused to leave until you come back. She told me that she’s Caramel. Yet, I didn't want her to stay until she told me to call Hercules," she hesitated. "I knew only a few knew you as one. So, I agreed she must know you. That's why I'm calling. In fact, she's in your office," she explained.
Well, it was right as Maria doesn’t know Caramel as his girlfriend. So, there was no way she would guess that they have a connection to each other.
"Are you sure it's really Caramel?" Grey asked, to be sure.
"Yes, that’s what she told me and I think she’s telling the truth. Though, she's really looking so strange and haggard. It looks like something has happened to her. Anyways, I think you should come here faster," she advised.
Grey nodded briefly. "I’m on my way," he announced and hung up.
He looked at Jimmy. "Turn around. We are going to Protos Publiccita," he announced suddenly and watched Jimmy nod briefly.
His heart made a sudden beat of his heart. Caramel was alive? The thought of it sent a shiver down his spine. He couldn't wait to hold her in his arms or kiss her.
But he still felt very angry about the death of Beatrice. He couldn't wait to find out what the cause was. And who would even dare to lay his or her hand on Beatrice?
He didn't call Alfred because he wasn't yet sure if it was really Caramel that was waiting for him in Protos Pubblicita. Until it has been confirmed, Grey wasn’t going to inform Alfred about anything.
Grey rushed down from the car before Jimmy would get down to open the door. He hurried inside the company. He placed a call to Maria the moment he entered the elevator.
Maria picked it up instantly. "Hello, boss."
"I’m on my way to The supervisor's office. Where is Caramel?"
"She’s in the supervisor's office. I don’t want anyone to suspect anything was why I didn't let her wait for you in Hercules's office," she revealed.
Grey nodded once. "That's actually cool. Thank you, Maria," he finished and hung up.
He hurried out of the elevator so fast that one would have thought he was on the way to receive a trophy.
He pulled the door opened and hesitated. Caramel looked up at him with surprised features and then suddenly, she smiled.
Grey stood frozen for a moment as he watched Caramel, still unable to believe she was there at that moment. There was a plaster across her cheeks and red marks on her neck.
"Caramel?" He called softly, to confirm he was really looking at her. It felt so surreal.
