"Are you sure about this?"
The man nodded once. "I can help you and you won't regret it. I promise."
Grey regarded him for a moment. "If you try something funny, I will kill you."
"Alright. You can do anything you want to me if I deceive you but I've made up my mind already."
"No prob, I will be watching," he walked out of the room and shut it.
Charles was still in the living room, waiting for him. Grey moved closer to him.
"Get the guy initiated in our men. He has a perfect way of infiltrating Giovanni's security. I think I'm going to need him on the announcement day," he explained.
Charles shook his head briefly. "I don't think that's actually nice. We can't trust him. He's one of Giovanni's men."
"Well, you don't need to trust him. Just trust me. I will handle everything else," he assured.

Avery had already prepared a perfect plan to get to the root of the matter. She was going to use her wit to check who David really was.
She couldn't take chances as she didn't even know when David would stop seeing her.
A soft knock sounded on her door. She opened the door and regarded Grey for a moment. "Good morning," she muttered, turned away, and walked into her bedroom.
Grey contemplated quickly if he should go wait for her inside or just stay outside, knowing full well they were going to be alone if it was inside.
Nevertheless, he stepped inside. He hesitated for a moment and instead, turned to the television set. He felt a figure behind him suddenly but he didn't move. "Good morning to you too, Avery."
"Let's go then," she muttered and walked past him towards the door.
Her scent wafted into Grey's nostril, shocking him for a moment. He looked at her and her eyes widened with shock.
"W_what are you wearing, Avery?" His voice faltered a bit.
Avery was wearing a long sleeveless blue gown. The gown looked as though it was made specifically for Avery, revealing her cleavage and making her look as hot as ever.
But! That wasn't what Grey was concerned with.
"I wear whatever I see fit. Besides, I'm going to be having lunch at one of the famous restaurants," she explained as she walked out into the hallway.
"Come on, Avery. You will catch a cold easily. Come on, you need to change your clothes right this instant. You could always buy a dress whenever you are prepared to go out," he explained, as he walked after her.
Avery ignored him and continued to walk away. She was in front of the elevator when Grey caught up with her and whirled her around to look at him.
"Avery!" He yelled, his eyes almost turning red with exhaustion.
Avery looked up at him, feeling a surge of emotion in her. She had a stupid urge to reach out and kiss him or maybe she was merely going insane. She opened her mouth to say something but the words refused to come out.
"Why don't you ever listen to me!"
Avery's heartbeat accelerated, as they were locked in a transfixed gaze. She couldn't stop it, no matter how hard she tried. She knew, however, that Grey was the only person that has made her feel that way. She wondered why she was currently feeling so drawn to him.
She suddenly wanted him to touch her even if it was only going to be a hug. She just wanted to be close to him.
"Avery," Grey called softly. "Avery!" He stressed.
Avery jerked out of her thoughts. "I_," she started and stopped. She swallowed harder. "I just want you to see me like this."
Grey was taken aback. "What?"
Avery smiled. "And see how hot your boss can be. Isn't it good?"
Grey released a sigh. "But you could catch a cold. You can't be wearing this type of clothes in this kind of weather."
