Chapter 401: A change
Alfred hesitated, with worry written all over his face.He entered the living room and let out another sigh.He had been expecting a call from the men he sent to Italy but all to no avail.
Something had happened and he could feel it.
If James really needed Grey, why then hasn’t he sent back his men? Or could James have been dead? That was the only explanation available.
If James was dead, the mafia bosses would have taken over and anyone who asked about the dead Mafia boss would be seen as though he or she was working for him.
They could kidnap or kill them as a result of it.He didn’t want to inform Grey about it just yet until he was sure of everything.
So, he might need to send more men.He needed to ascertain the situation before he informed Grey.
The door opened suddenly and one of Alfred’s men walked inside.thuy He bowed slightly.
“Here I am, sir.” Alfred looked up at him.
“Get some men, you need to do something for me in Italy.”
The man nodded briefly.
“I will do that,” he responded before he walked out of the room.
Grey finally fell asleep and Aphrodite was able to leave his room.Grey wouldn’t allow her to sleep with him anyways.
And though he didn’t ask for it, she felt like staying with him.
She heard the clash of pots and moved toward the kitchen.She regarded Emily for a moment as she moved to and fro while cooking something she couldn’t see because of the position of her body.
“And what are you still doing here?” She demanded suddenly.
Emily jerked out in fear, and the plate she was holding dropped to the floor and shattered into pieces.She gasped and looked at Aphrodite.
“You scared me,” she muttered.
“Well, I asked you a question and you should answer.I don’t like when someone keeps me waiting.” She yelled.
Emily released a sigh.
“I just wanted to prepare something for the boss.He hasn’t eaten anything since morning and might request some food when he finally wakes up,” she explained.
Aphrodite felt a stab of annoyance.She crossed her arms over her chest as she watched Emily.
“Are you kidding me? Cooking? Under whose permission?”
“I work for Hercules and I don’t think I need that kind of explanation,” she shrugged slightly.
Aphrodite fumed with rage.
“Are you talking back to me?” She chuckled.
“You know what, just dump all you’ve done and get out.You are not allowed to this house until Hercules calls you,” she ordered.
Emily released a sigh between her clenched teeth.She didn’t want to do what she had in mind.
Even though she hated Aphrodite, she couldn’t disobey her.
Aside from the fact that she’s popular, she’s also adored by Hercules and she didn’t want to get on Grey’s bad side.Emily took a short bow.
