Grey regarded him for a moment. “What are you doing here?”
Vincenzo shook his head once. “I didn’t follow you here. It’s just a coincidence,” he explained.
Five men moved out from their hiding place and moved closer to Grey from behind.
Vincenzo watched the men for a moment. “Calm down, I wasn’t going to do anything to your boss,” he told the men and looked at Grey again. “I saw you from afar and I decided to move closer and apologize for the other day. The elders told me you won’t be available for three days,” he explained.
Grey regarded him for a moment as if trying to read what was going on in his head. “Alright. Nice meeting you here. You can proceed with what you want to do. We have places to be.”
Vincenzo made a nod of his head and looked at Aphrodite. “I’m sorry ma’am for everything and I’m sorry,” he looked up at Grey. “For accosting you. I hope we are clear, now?”
Grey nodded once. “Good,” he gave him a side look and wrapped his arm around Aphrodite. “See you later,” he muttered and gently walked Aphrodite away while Vincenzo continued to stare right behind them.
“Who is that man?” Aphrodite inquired.
“Vincenzo. He was the man that drugged you. I was just being nice to him,” he muttered as he let the anger seep out of him.
He was still angry at Vincenzo, there was no fact about that. He could even punch his face if he spent another minute staring at his face.
They both decided to return home. Aphrodite was equally tired.
Just as they stepped inside the suite, Grey's phone rang suddenly, startling Aphrodite for a moment. Grey withdrew it and saw it was Charles.
He picked it up immediately while Aphrodite moved to the bathroom for a quick shower. "Hey, Charles. What has been taking you so long? I've been waiting for your call. What didn't you call back?"
"I'm sorry boss but I didn't want to disturb you and Aphrodite. I told Maximo not to report to you," he revealed.
Grey groaned inwardly. "You got me worried, for real! What the fuck is happening currently?"
"Well, Maximo refused to disclose anything to me. He said he would like to discuss this with you directly. But he said it could wait. Besides, I discovered that the men didn't come for Alex. They are actually here for a different mission," he explained.
"Really?" Grey raised a skeptical brow. "Did you discover the reason?"
"Not yet but some of them have been lurking around Dante and Enzo. I have a feeling it's something concerning the billionaire club," he hesitated. "Could it be what you have said earlier? Could Giovanni be looking into the billionaire club in Italy?"
Grey reasoned it for a moment. "That can be the case. The announcement would come soon. It's only normal that he has already taken the bait," he explained.
"That's what I thought as well. But i'm yet to find a concrete reason to hold. I will just spy on them for some days and I will get it," he assured.
Grey made a nod of the head. "If Giovanni sent his men to look into the billionaire club, then my plan must be working. I will call Maximo and inform him. No one is allowed to communicate with each other at this moment. Giovanni's men must not suspect anything."
"Alright, I understand. I will continue to keep them under watch," he assured.
