Secretly The Billionaire Boss

Chapter 518: Bait



"Sir," The manager cleared his throat meaningfully.
"I'm so sorry.I will inform the receptionist about what to do.I'm really sorry for the inconvenience.Please, give her the phone."
Grey stretched the phone out to the receptionist.
The receptionist bowed severally before she took the phone.She knew that Hercules was angry by the tone of his voice.He was
a mafia lord anyways and mafia lords were always callous and wicked.She couldn't afford to get on his bad side.
"Alright boss," she hung up and looked at Grey.
"Please, come with me.I will escort you there."
Grey didn't answer her.
Instead, he followed her into the elevator.
The receptionist almost stopped breathing as the elevator moved slowly.She couldn't believe that she was riding with Hercules
alone.
If it wasn't because Hercules was in a bad mood, she would have asked for his autograph and framed it.She would make it her
next big achievement but maybe a time like that would come again.
They both stepped out of the elevator and walked into the control room.
The security guard was a bit surprised.
"Is there anything wrong?"
"The Hercules wants to access the footage.And it has been permitted by the manager," the receptionist explained.
The security guard nodded once and stepped aside.
Grey moved closer to the system and operated it until a video of Aphrodite being attacked showed on the screen.
Actually, the moment she started walking along the hallway, four men were already following her.
Aphrodite was able to enter the dressing room and hide the bag among the other clothes.

The two men followed her inside.
Even though Aphrodite tried her best to fight off the men, the moment one of them got her, novelebook.com it was easy for them
to jointly beat her.
Grey banged at the table angrily, causing the two people beside him to jump up in fear.
"And what was the security guard doing when all this was happening?"
He turned to look at the security guard, with eyes that had gone red with fury.
"I'm so sorry," the security guard stammered.
"Please, don't kill me." Grey hissed.
The security guard wasn't his enemy after all.It was Giovanni.
Actually, he couldn't stop feeling guilt and regret.
If he hadn't placed Aphrodite in the plan, nothing would have happened to her.It was his fault and no one else.
But Dante and Maximo insisted that Aphrodite was found in the hallway, with the bag.
If that has happened, then someone has helped her.
And Grey wanted to know who that person was.So, he forwarded the video.His eyes went wide when he suddenly saw a lady
walk inside the room.He felt even more shocked when he discovered that it was Avery.It wasn't possible.
How could it be Avery? He saw how scared Avery was as she tried to wake Aphrodite before she hurried to the direction that
Aphrodite had pointed to.His eyes burnt with emotion.
Even though Aphrodite was dying, she still wanted to get the suit to him.But Avery knew nothing.She didn't even know what the
suit was for.
Why did she take it then? There was something unclear somewhere.
Avery dragged Aphrodite out of the room and placed the clothes beside her.She rushed inside the room suddenly, just as Dante
moved to Aphrodite and recognized who she was.

Grey released a sigh.So, it was actually Avery that saved Aphrodite?
"I'm deleting this," he muttered.
The security guard was very happy.
Deleting it meant that he or the company wouldn't be reported to the police.It showed that Hercules had forgiven him.
"Yes sir.Thank you so much."
Grey deleted the video.But hesitated for a moment, before he went through the files again.
Even though he didn't want to have anything to do with Avery, he was still grateful to her for helping Aphrodite.
If it wasn't for her, Aphrodite might not be found in time and it might have complicated the matter.
So, he suddenly wanted to find out where she was and what she was still doing at that moment.
Maybe she was still pained by what he said.
Well, at that moment, Grey was ready to apologise.He owed it to her big time.He found the video where Avery had caught up
with him at the garage.
And then he saw it.
Grey felt another bang on his head.
What the fuck! His eyes went wide as Alex took the unconscious Avery inside his car and drove out of the garage.
Alex and Avery seemed to have spoken very well the other time.
Why then would Alex do something like that to her?
"Again!" Grey yelled.
The security guard went on his knee.
"I deserve to die! I deserve to! Please, just don't kill me.I only went to the bathroom at that moment.I'm so sorry," he pleaded
softly.

Grey deleted it and looked at the security guard.
"You deserve to die, truly.Maybe I should kill you at this moment."
The security guard went flat on the floor.
"Please, I beg of you.I have two children and a pregnant wife.Please, don't kill me." The receptionist went on her knees.
"Please, we beg of you.Spare us all."
Yet again, Grey came to the conclusion that they weren't his enemy.
Alex and Giovanni were.
Though, he remembered telling one of his men to submit evidence of Alex having the best of his life while he was supposed to
be in prison.
The previous head of police was sacked that afternoon and a new one has already been appointed.
And the police must have found their way to apprehend Alex that night.
Though, he wondered how he was still able to leave without getting seen by the police.
Or could his plan have gone wrong? His phone rang suddenly.It was an unknown number.
Grey picked it up nevertheless.
"Hello Grey," the voice laughed and Grey recognized it immediately.
"Alex?"
"You caught me!" He laughed again.
"Come over to this address, alone or I will kill your ex-wife or should I say, your lover," he muttered and the line went dead even
before Grey could gather what to say.He stood still, too shocked to move or speak.His phone beeped and a message appeared
on his phone.
Grey formed a fist with his left hand, angrily.He walked out of the room, without another word to anyone.
