Chapter 53: borrowed
After breakfast, Avery and Lucy went to LX corporation, Emma and Benjamin also went out, not after informing Grey to do the dishes.
They had maids and he doesn’t know why he had to go through the stress. He did it anyway
His phone rang suddenly as he stepped inside the living room. The maids walked past the phone but didn’t even bother helping him.
They walked past him and didn’t greet him but he shuddered it off.
It was Alfred that was calling. He picked it up immediately.
“Hi, Alfred,” he smiled and whirled around to go back to the bedroom.
“Good morning, Hercules. How are you feeling today?”
“Finę. I told you I would be better, didn’t l?” He laughed.
He barely took two steps forward when the doorbell sounded. He stopped in his tracks and turned around, towards the door again.
“I’m glad you are getting better. You should rest very well. Nothing must happen to you,” he declared.
Grey nodded.” I will be fine.”
“Alright but I’m going to tell the elders this we will take action soon. What if Giovanni knows about you? How come you got attacked the day you visited your father’s estate? He must have been spying on Aphrodite,” he vented out his frustration
Grey sighed.” Calm down. You don’t need to tell the elders anything because this doesn’t concern them And it’s not Giovanni.”
Alfred went silent for a minute.” Then, who is it? Who dared lay his hands on you!”
“Don’t bother yourself, Alfred, I will handle it. And if I discover that I can’t, then I will inform you,” he assured and opened the door.
“Alright, if you say so,” Alfred accepted.
“Can we talk later then?” He opined, still holding out the door
“Sure, Alfred said and the line went off.
Grey’s gaze roamed around Caramel for a moment and lingered more on her short skirt that was revealing her long flawless legs. Then, he slowly looked up at her. “Hi.”
“Hi,” she smiled, revealing a dimple that Grey hadn’t noticed, “Can I come in?”
Grey got conscious of himself “Sure, I’m sorry,” he stepped aside for her to enter. Then, he closed the door. “But Avery is not at home,” he announced as he turned around to look at her
Caramel nodded briefly.” I’m aware. You said you would take me out today. remember?
Grey raised skeptical brows at her i did?”
Caramel nodded and laughed, “Don’t tell me you forgot that. We were supposed to go to the gym Grey thought about it quickly, then nodded slightly. Sure, just give me a few minutes to get ready”
” You sincerely don’t need that,” Cara said quickly just as Grey was about to leave ” We could go to my
regular spot and we could get some nice gym wear How about that?’ She was smiling as she made the suggestion
Grey nodded slowly He didn’t even know what he was supposed to say Caramel seemed adamant about whatever she was planning
He regarded her for a moment, at her makeup and the fact thal she was overdressed. Were they really going to the gym? ‘is everything alright?”
