Chapter 418

Chapter 418: A kiss

Grey was shocked for a moment.

"Seriously?" Maximo smiled softly and slipped the wine.

"I looked for you actually. I have always wanted to repay you for what you did for me that day but now that I'm seeing you, I selfishly want something more. I mean I wouldn't be here without your help."

Grey smiled.

"Actually, I'm staying in Italy for a while.So, we can make that work out.I also need to know about my father's shares."

"Sure,"" Maximo was happy. NôvelDrama.Org is the owner.

"You can come over to the company tomorrow.We will discuss it more.But why did you decide to stay here.Is everything alright at Jacksonville?"

Grey nodded once.

"It's just a long story.I will explain it to you later but, I have a last request," he regarded him for a moment.

"I'm undercover here.So, no one must know that Hercules is in Italy or that Grey is Hercules.I haven't revealed what I look like to the public."

"That's simple.I can do that," Maximo assured.

"I will make sure I handle it on my men's side.You don't have to worry about anything."

Aphrodite got up suddenly.

"Sorry for cutting you guys short but I think I need to retire to bed," she started to walk away without giving Grey the chance to speak She felt really tired.

It was a long day anyways.

Maximo gave Grey a funny look.

"Aren't you going to follow your girlfriend?"

"Yes,I__,"

Grey started immediately, only for him to stop halfway."No, you got it wrong.She's not my girlfriend."

Maximo laughed.

"You act like couple.Anyways, since you arrived today, you must be tired.I shouldn't keep you from having your rest. It has been a big day."

Grey nodded briefly.

"You are right. I do feel tired anyways. I think it's best if we call it a night already."

Maximo stood up, and so did Grey.

They shook hands with a wide smile on their faces.

"What do you say to seeing tomorrow's night and having a drink?"

Grey thought about it for a moment and slowly shook his head.

He remembered the preservation he had made for Aphrodite.He wouldn't want to disappoint her.

"We should be able to see before then because I have somewhere to be that night."

"No problem, we will talk later about how it's going to be.I should leave you now.Later, Grey."

Grey nodded and walked out of the club.

Aphrodite was about to drive out when he moved closer to the car.

"Novia, were you going to leave me behind? I don't even know where my house is," he got inside beside her.

"I thought you still wanted to chat with your new friend but I was getting so tired already. Where's Charles by the way?"

Grey shrugged slightly.

"He will definitely meet us at home."

Aphrodite looked at Grey."Don't tell me you know where Charles is. You have been doing something behind my back, haven't you? Tell me about it."

Grey shrugged briefly while trying to suppress a burst of laughter.

"No, I don't. As I said, Charles is a man. He knows what to do at the appropriate time. You don't have to worry about him."

"I'm not actually worried," she drove out of Ex-Maximo.

"But I know you are really hiding something from me. I'm sure it's about Aurora. But it's none of my concern anyways, I just want to sleep." she yawned lazily.

Grey laughed at this.

They soon pulled into the garage and Aphrodite walked out and headed inside without another word.

Grey regarded her for a moment.

If he was able to mend Charles’ broken heart, what could be done about Aphrodite that has sworn to love only him? The morning came so fast the next day and Grey didn't want to get up.

A soft knock sounded on the door, pulling Grey out of his sleep forcefully.

"Hey, Grey. I've ordered some food. You should come downstairs for it. It's almost eight."

Grey groaned.

"Alright, Novia. I will meet you downstairs in a couple of hours," he assured and listened to Novia's receding steps before he got up.

His phone rang suddenly. He glanced at the screen and saw that it was Alfred. He picked it up immediately.

"Hi Alfred, good morning. How are you doing?"

"Great but is everything alright over there? I've been feeling bad about it but I feel relieved that you picked up your call."

"Yes, everything is fine. I will tell you about everything when you get here. You are coming over today right?"

"Yes, Gregory and I are about to enter the plane. Should we still meet at the company?"

"Sure, I will be there by ten.Maximo already planned for us to meet up."

"Seriously?"

Alfred was shocked.

"You've met Maximo already?"

"It was very easy, Alfred. As I said, I will tell you more when you get here," he assured.

"Alright, see you soon,"

Alfred finished and the line went off.

Grey had his bath and walked into the living room.

"Is Charles back?"

"No," Aphrodite muttered as she retrieved some hot dogs from the kitchen.

They settled in the dining room.

"You didn't seem worried about it yesterday. Why are you now worried?"

Aphrodite had already changed and she was in a long red gown that looked perfect on her body. She had no makeup on her face now and Grey could see how beautiful her natural face was.

"Just asking, Novia. I’m not at all concerned."

"I had one of my men tail him and I discovered what he was doing. You knew he was with Aurora, right?"

Grey laughed.

"Maybe but it’s guys' stuff."

Aphrodite regarded him for a moment bean before she stood and moved closer to Grey.

"Yes, I understand but,"she stopped suddenly, and sat on his lap.

"What are you doing, Novia?"

Grey felt alarmed.

Aphrodite smiled softly.

"Wait," she adjusted her hair and kiss him.
