Secretly The Billionaire Boss

Chapter 429

Chapter 429: Not really

Grey yawned lazily.It was morning again.His hand searched the lampstand for his phone.He had no missed calls and it was almost eight in the morning.He went for his bath and remembered that he left Charles drinking in his room before he went to his.

Perhaps, he would still be sleeping.

Though, what he told Charles seemed to be applying to him.

In some sense, it wanted to look like his story was the same as Charles'.

Charles has always loved Aphrodite and now when he met someone else, he's not really interested in moving close to her.

He thinks it could be lust.

No, he was just being doubtful.

And him? He had always loved Caramel but he had been rejected.

Was he really supposed to deny himself the chance to be loved because his relationship failed twice? Maybe or maybe not.

Grey couldn't really make the decision.

He couldn't really even think it deeply.He walked out of the room and as usual, Aphrodite was in the kitchen.He hesitated behind her and continued to watch her for what looked like forever.

It was when she turned to take something that she caught him staring.

"Grey!"

She called softly and happily.She was in short loungewear.

The only difference was that she had her makeup on.

Grey moved closer to her.

"Good morning, Novia."

"Morning, Grey.How was your night?"

"Cool actually.How was your?"

Aphrodite turned around to pick the vegetables.

"Splendid.I'm trying to make pot roast," she revealed.

Grey regarded her for a moment.

"Have you seen Charles this morning?"

"Did he come home?" Grey laughed.

He knew it! That Charles was too wasted and had a hangover.

"Of course he did, I will check him in the room," he announced and disappeared along the hallway without waiting for Aphrodite to talk.He opened the door, not interested in knocking.

Charles opened his eyes slowly.He was on the floor and with the position that Grey has met him, he was certain that he slept on the floor.

"Charles!"

Grey called and a rumble of laughter escaped him."What are you doing on the floor?"

Charles yawned and straightened up.

"Don't tease me, Grey.I'm not interested in it," he held a straight face and got up.

He entered the bathroom without a second glance.Grey laughed and walked out of the room.He entered the living room again and noticed the letter on the table.

"What's this for?"

He inquired from Aphrodite as he moved closer again.

"What?"

Aphrodite turned slightly and looked at the letter in Grey's hands.

"Oh, it's for Charles.Aurora sent it."

Grey nodded and walked interested the living room.He safely placed it on the table.

Charles could still be doubting the feeling he has for the girl but kissing her already sent a different message to Aurora.

The letter could be her love letter to him.

Grey's phone rang suddenly.It was Maria."Good morning, boss."

"Food morning, Maria.How are you doing? And how is the running of the business?"

"It's all fine.I just wanted to remind you of something."

"Yes, what's that?"

"It's about David.He seems to be getting worst," she revealed.

"Did you see him? Did you speak to him?"

"No, but I've been getting feedback.If we allow him to continue, he could actually ruin everything you have.Though, I'm not sure we will be able to revive the company you gave him to monitor at this moment." She explained.

Grey nodded once.

"I will do something about it immediately.I was actually not able to do anything before I leave for Italy but I will find a way out now," he assured.

Maria released a relieved sigh.

"Thank you, boss.I wish you would come back to Jacksonville soon." Grey smiled. When I'm done, I will. Don't miss me too much."

Maria laughed out loud.

"Alright boss.Thank you."

Grey hung up and thought about what age had said.

What could David be up to? He dialed Luciano's number immediately.He picked it up after the second ring.

"Hello boss, how have you been?"

"Good, thanks Luciano but I have something for you."

"Anything, boss.Just name it."

Grey smiled.

"Thank you.Can you get someone to spy on one of my workers? I will have someone send you the details of the person."

"Alright, I will be waiting."

Grey nodded once.

"Alright, take care," he finished and hung up.

He placed a call to Maria again.

Maria picked it up immediately.

"Hello, boss."

"I want you to send every detail of David to the number I will send over to you."

"Alright boss, I will do everything."

"Alright, just make sure you don't leave behind any details." Original from NôvelDrama.Org.

"I won't, boss.I will start compiling immediately," she assured.

Grey smiled and hung up.

The door opened behind him.He turned around to see who was at the door.He felt a bit shocked when Aphrodite stepped aside and allowed a man to walk inside.The man was of the same height as Aphrodite, thick and handsome.

He was dressed in Louis Vuitton wear which showed he was equally rich as Aphrodite.

"Come, I will introduce you to my friends,"

Aphrodite said excitedly and led the man over to where he was.

"Grey, meet Thomas.Thomas, meet Grey."

Thomas stretched out his head for a handshake and Grey room it with a nice smile.

"You are welcome."

"Yes! We are having breakfast together.Only Charles isn't here but I will get him immediately.You guys should wait for us,"

Aphrodite said quickly and hurried towards Charles‘ room.

Thomas was still looking around.

"This ace is beautiful.I love the interior decorations."

"Thank you," Grey tried to smile as he walked to the dining room.

Sometimes, he didn't understand what his friends were up to.He expected Aphrodite to tell him that someone was going to join them.

When Grey walked to the dining room, he marveled at the large quantities of food that Aphrodite had prepared, because of Thomas.

But then, who was Thomas then? They had their seats.

"So, how did you get to know Aphrodite?" Grey probed.

Thomas smiled.

"Because you are Aphrodite's friend, I think you should know everything." Grey raised a brow at him.

"Everything? I thought you guys met recently?"

"No!"

Thomas shook his head briefly.

"I've known Aphrodite since when I was in high school.We even dated."

Grey went into shock for a moment.

"What? So, that makes you her ex-boyfriend?"

"Yes," Thomas laughed nervously.

"Though, I'm planning on asking her out soon." He revealed suddenly.

Grey felt even shocked.

"What!"

He opened his mouth to say something but Charles and Aphrodite showed up.

"You should read your letter before coming here. It might be important,"

Aphrodite told him before she moved to sit beside Thomas.

"When did this letter come in?" Charles asked suddenly, n.ovelebook looking up at them again.

Aphrodite thought for a moment.

"Very early this morning.I think it was 6."

"What!"

Charles exclaimed softly and ran out.

Alarmed, Grey hurried behind him.

"Wait! What happened? Where are you going!"

But before he could ask more, Charles pulled out of the vicinity.

What the fuck was happening?
