Secretly The Billionaire Boss

Grey returned home after being assured that Avery was inside her room.He called her several times but she didn’t pick up.He
just wondered what was going wrong with her again and what he had done wrong.
Though, he was leaving Italy in two days and won't be coming back for a while.He might not even come back in years.
Grey walked inside the living room but stopped suddenly as he regarded Aphrodite for a moment.She was sleeping on the
couch.He sighed and moved closer.He scooped her in his arms and headed to their bedroom.
Just as he placed her on the bed, he was taken aback for a moment as he stared down at Aphrodite's opened eyes.
"For how long were you awake?" He laughed.
"Since you took me in your arms," she laughed and stretched up to kiss Grey on the lips.
"You came late and I didn’t want to sleep.I wanted to discuss something with you," she revealed and sat up.
Grey sat beside her and gave her full attention.
"Yes, what is it all about?"
"Charles told me you would like to include one of Giovanni's men in your plan.Don’t you think it’s risky? We don’t have the luxury
of trust and you know that Grey."
Grey nodded once.
"I actually understand you but I want you to trust me, Aphrodite.I'm a better judge of expression and you know it.It will be fine."
Aphrodite nodded once.
"I trust you," she smiled softly.
Avery woke up feeling very tired.She was exhausted from crying so much.She didn’t eat dinner too and was currently weak.She
got down from the bed and moved to the mirror fastened to the bathroom door.She stared at herself in the mirror and barely
recognized herself.She had a swollen and reddish face as a result of crying too much.She was just heartbroken.
And she spent several hours thinking of what to do.
And eventually, she was able to make a decision.

Though, she had a tough time before she did.
And at that moment, she just wanted to see Grey.
Damn, she missed him so much.Her phone rang suddenly, jerking her out of her thoughts.She released a sigh before she
grabbed it, only to discover it was Grey.She released another sigh and picked it up.
"Good morning, Grey."
"Avery! What the fuck happened yesterday?"
"You could have started with greetings.It won’t hurt your ego, G-,"
Avery started but stopped almost immediately.She was making a huge mistake.It just wasn’t time for it.She would like to make
Grey think he was still deceiving her.If he knew the truth, he might flee.
Though, she would like to know why he wasn’t dead but was declared as one.
Something seemed to be wrong somewhere.
"David," she corrected herself.
"But anyways, I’m sorry for what happened yesterday."
Grey released a sigh.
"Good morning, Avery.I hope you slept well?"
"I did, thank you.In fact, I feel very much better this morning.So, were you impressed yesterday? Are there people you think are
best for the posts?"
"I got a few of them.Would you like to look at their CV and decide?"
"No, hire anyone that you see fit.Also, I want to discuss something with you.Could you come to my room? Let's talk before we go
to work."
"Alright.Actually, I’m in front of your door,"
Grey announced.

"Damn! What!"
Avery yelled, "How can you be in front of my room? Stay away.Go elsewhere.Just give me thirty minutes.Ok? Don't go
anywhere," she yelled out the orders and hung up before Grey would say anything.
She flushed harder.She hadn't even had her bath.
How was she supposed to meet with Grey? She rushed inside the bathroom to get clean.
The countdown has begun actually.
Grey was leaving the next day.
And everything has been decided.He couldn't wait actually, to return to Jacksonville.He missed it so much.He couldn't wait to
face Giovanni again.He could wait to see the look on his face as he got embarrassed and disappointed.
And he sincerely looked forward to killing him as he had killed his father.
Actually, Grey was really looking forward to the announcement day.His phone rang suddenly and it was Avery.
Grey picked it up before it would stop ringing.
"Hello, Avery.Are you done?"
"Yes, you can come in now," she finished and hung up almost immediately.
Grey shook his head briefly.
Avery was being funny.He knew exactly why she had delayed him.He got up and entered the elevator.
Avery opened the door and Grey walked inside.
Avery was wearing loungewear and she walked back to sit after helping him with the door.
Grey regarded her for a moment before he moved closer to her and sat.
"Is everything alright? What do you want us to discuss?"
Avery crossed her long legs.

"I remember you told me something about the announcement day.You wanted us to go to Jacksonville to get more investors.How
do we go about it? Am I supposed to be in Jacksonville by evening? Or what plan have you laid out for it?"
Grey regarded her for a moment.
"Are you sure you want to do this? If you don't, it’s ok." Avery grinned.
"Well, I want to.Who doesn't love investors or business partners? It’s going to help me a lot."
Grey nodded several times.
"That’s good.If that’s the case.Then I suggest you leave for Jacksonville by this afternoon."
"What about you? Aren't you supposed to go to the party with me?"
"I am.I was invited as a matter of fact.So, my place is different from yours," he explained.
"But I will do my best wherever I am," he assured.
"So, would you communicate the venue with me? And the time?" Grey nodded once.
"I will do that. You don't have to worry about it."
"But yet, I think we should get to the party at the same time.Why can't you leave with me for Jacksonville? "Because I have other
things that I need to do.So, I would only finish up and meet you in Jacksonville.Trust me, everything will be fine.I will
communicate with you about anything or everything you need to know about the party.Is that ok?"
Avery smiled briefly.
"Yes, it is but can we have breakfast before going to work? I'm famished.She stood up and walked inside just as Grey was about
to protest. He sighed instead.
