Secretly The Billionaire Boss by Debbie chocolate novel Chapter 516

It was actually James, one of the special members that was calling Grey.

Grey heard but he couldn't bear to turn back.He knew that doing that would mean staying but he didn't even have the luxury of time to waste.

The only thing that went through his mind was what had really happened to Aphrodite.

How could she be found half- dead? What really happened? That wasn't even the most painful thing.

Grey couldn't think of the fact that he was at the party, enjoying himself while Aphrodite was almost dead.

The guilt that gave him almost ate him deep.

"Hercules!"

Another voice called suddenly, a feminine yet familiar one.It jerked Grey out of his thoughts and he realized that she had been calling out to him. He stopped suddenly as the figure raced towards him.

"Her_cules," Avery moved to his front, taking in several fast breaths to steady her breathing.

"Is there something you want?" He asked, in a deep voice that actually scared Avery.

That was the second time he would be doing it.

"A conversation."

"A conversation?" Grey repeated, with a slight line of disapproval on his lips.

Avery ignored this.

"I was going to talk to you about the kiss.I'm sorry I caught you off guard.I didn't mean for that to happen.I didn't mean for the reporter to take the pictures."

"Seriously?"

Another line of disgust was suddenly forming on his lips.

"Are you really sorry? It looks as though you were pleased."

"What?" Avery was shocked.

"You kissed me against my consent because of your business, isn't that so? When the news displays your name alongside the new king of the world, it would increase your chance of getting close to people of high position.Isn't that so?"

"No!" Avery said quickly.

"Besides, how do you know I have a business?"

Grey went still for a moment at the statement as a wry line formed on his lips at an acknowledgment of a tactical error.

Grey had forgotten.

Fuck! He had forgotten that he was still Hercules.

But he was slowly losing it.

Avery used to be someone that he respected and loved until he realised the stuff Avery was made of.He doesn't even want to have anything to do with her.

The fact that he doesn't want anything bad to happen to her, doesn't say he still loved her.He just was a free spirit.

Avery shook her head briefly, as she tried to convince herself that it was still Grey that was standing in front of her.

Even though his voice seemed harsh, Avery still felt the same effect he had on her earlier.

There was no way feelings would lie.
