Secretly The Billionaire Boss

Chapter 419

Chapter 419: Misled

For a moment, Grey zoomed out.

Maybe it was because he had never imagined kissing Aphrodite or because it felt weird. Owned by NôvelDrama.Org.

No, it was the fact that he didn't expect it to happen at all.

But after a minute, Grey found himself responding which was weird.

Aphrodite pulled away suddenly and smiled.

"This was what Charles was caught doing with Aurora before I called the spy back."

Grey hesitated, totally lost.

Actually,he didn't expect the rise in his heart or the feeling of happiness that he felt when he kissed Aphrodite.It could be because he missed Caramel.

"Are you surprised?"

Aphrodite laughed as she moved back to sit."I thought you knew about it all already."

Grey cleared his throat meaningfully and looked away, as he ate slowly.

"I knew they had something like a spark together but I didn't know it was going to happen so fast."

Aphrodite smiled again and continued to eat.

"Alfred and Gregory are on their way.Actually, I'm meeting them at the Italian shoe company," he revealed.

Aphrodite looked up at Grey.

"Alright.That reminds me, have you asked Maximo where Alfred's men are?"

Grey rubbed his head briefly, with a tiring smile.

"I totally forgot.I was so tired yesterday but I just didn't want to show it.I will definitely ask him today.Though, I will need to go to the boutique when I'm coming from Maximo.So, I might come home late."

Aphrodite nodded once.

"Alright, just don't forget your promise.I will wait for you here.I need my rest after all!"

Grey laughed.

"I understand.Don't worry, I will be here to pick you up.That, I promise," he said with a smile.

Giovanni flipped through the magazine and dropped it.He looked up at the man in his presence.

"Has anything happened in Protos Pubblicita?"

"They have been quiet and they haven't been showing themselves in public after the confirmation of Grey's death," he explained.

Giovanni nodded once, with happiness in his heart.He could breathe freely at that moment.

Jacksonville will know its peace.

"How about the meeting that's supposed to be held in four hours? Did Jamal say anything?"

"No boss," another of his men responded.

'The meeting will be held as scheduled." Giovanni nodded briefly.

"Good. What have Alfred and Gregory been doing? Have they been acting suspiciously? Do they even plan to have another Hercules?"

He hesitated and shook his head briefly.Hercules has to be of the same blood as Grey.So, that is not possible but anything suspicious?"

"I will have more men spy on them to get to know them more but for now, it has been peaceful." Giovanni nodded briefly.

"Spy on them.I would like to know everything about them.I need to know everything that they are currently planning."

Grey walked into the huge shoe company in Italy.He was clad in normal jean trousers and a t-shirt.He didn't bring any of his designers clothes to Italy for two reasons.

One, he didn't want Giovanni to suspect anything.

Aphrodite and Charles were supposed to be in Italy for business reasons.

Secondly, he initially thought it was going to take a while for him and Maximo to even get to see each other.So, he planned to keep it low with normal dressing.

This was why he decided to go to the boutique later in the day to get some clothes, as well as the suit he was going to wear to the dinner with Aphrodite.

His phone rang suddenly.It was Alfred.

Grey stopped walking and picked up the call.

"Hello, Alfred."

"We just left the airport and we are heading towards the company, " he informed.

Grey nodded once.

"I just got here as well.I will be waiting for you, " he finished and hung up.

He moved closer to the receptionist.

“Hello, good morning."

The receptionist looked at him for a moment.

"Yes, morning.How may I help you? Who are you here to see?"

"I_,"

Grey started but the receptionist cut in quickly.

"Oh, you must be the new security guard!"

Confused, Grey shook his head.

"I'm_"

"I know, not yet," the woman said again.

It looked like it was her hobby to always interrupt people.

"I know you aren't yet the security guard until you get the uniform.I will get someone to give you the uniform and you can start at any time," she explained.

Grey sighed, already fed up.He didn't even collect Maximo's number.

So, there was no way to talk to him unless Alfred and Gregory arrived at that moment, or perhaps, the workers let him see Maximo but he doubted that.

Suddenly, several men rushed inside, one of them pushing Grey aside in the process.

Grey would have fallen if he hadn't watched himself.

Several workers stopped what they were doing and bowed as a man in his early thirties walked inside.He was clad in Gucci wear, he has a slim body and a height equivalent to Grey.He would have been very handsome if not for the mark that stretched across his face, from his right eye, across his nose, and to his left cheek.

The men built a kind of fortress around him and Grey only had to stay and stare as he didn't know what was going on.

One of the workers met him halfway, just as the man reached where Grey was.

"Welcome, Mr.Enzo.Mr.Maximo is in his office waiting for you."

Enzo hesitated, a hard expression on his face.

"Anyone here with him?"

"He did say he was expecting someone but I thought that was you.So, he's currently alone."

Enzo nodded once.

Maximo did inform him that there was someone very important he had to see which was why he was even in the office that morning.

If Maximo was currently alone, does it mean that Hercules wasn't coming again? novelebook.com Enzo made to walk but stopped almost immediately as he turned to Grey.His eyes tightened on him and annoyance flashed across his face.

"Why aren't you paying your respect to me?"

His deep voice sent shivers through some of the workers but not Grey.Grey had to suppress a laugh as he watched him.

When it looked like Grey wasn't going to respond, Enzo moved closer to him, only stopping a few feets away.

"Did you hear what I've just said? Make amends before you get me upset."

Grey regarded him for a moment, sighed, and turned towards the woman close by.

"May I see the new CEO now?"

"What audacity!" Enzo yelled.

"Who is he?" The receptionist stepped forward.

"I'm so sorry Mr.Enzo.He's our new security guard.He just resumed today and I don't think he knows anything about this place."

"Then you could have let him know before you gave him the job!" He yelled at the bean woman in full rage and turned away slowly.

"Punish her!" He ordered.

The woman went on her knees, pleading.

"No! My lord! I did! I did lecture him about it! Please, don't punish me."
