CHAPTER 484: CONFUSION

“So, we are done for today,"

Grey announced.

"Or do we still have places to be?"

"We need employees, at least for important positions in the company.But we will continue that tomorrow.Drive me to the suite and let's call it a day."

Grey nodded once and they both walked to the car.

"I knew I was right to employ you.You seem like my good luck charm," Avery joked.

Grey laughed at this.

"That's so funny.Do you really think so? "Of course!" Avery grinned.

"I got four investors on your first day at work.And these men are notable people.You are really a good luck charm."

They both burst out laughing really hard.

"So, how about dinner tonight?" Avery asked suddenly.

Grey glanced at her.

"Dinner with me?" Avery nodded once.

"Yes, is anything wrong with it?"

"A lot is wrong.I mean there shouldn't be anything else between us aside from work."

Avery sighed.

"Come on, David.It's just a dinner to reward you.I am so happy with you today and I just want to compensate you.Would you refuse such little advances?"

"I can," Grey muttered.

"Please, David.Just for an hour.And besides, it's not going to do anything to you.I will be waiting for you, David.I will," she finished and looked away.

Grey released a sigh.He was all caught up.

There was no way to go.

Avery was always obstinate and very convincing.He didn't know what she would be aiming at in a few days and if he would be able to handle her.

"Alright, where do you want to go?" Avery looked at him quickly.

"Is that a yes?" She asked with excitement.

Grey released an exasperated sigh and nodded briefly.

"Yes."

Avery grinned.

"I will send you the address.There's a place I wish to go."

"Alright, I will be waiting."

That night, Avery got dressed in one of the gowns she ordered online two days ago.It was as if she was already expecting the night she would have dinner with David.

Well, of course, she knew and was prepared for it.She had to stop by the salon and get her hair dressed up.She only wanted to look beautiful to David.

Or maybe she wanted more but she wasn't going to think about them until the right time.

"You can't imagine, even though he's past 60, Leonardo is still as handsome as ever," one of the hair stylists muttered to another as they dyed her hair.

"You can't say that.Dante is equally the same age but he's handsome too," another girl argued.

"Well, they are both handsome even though they are older," another supplied.

Avery hesitated for a moment as their conversation sank in.They just described Dante as over 60, right?"

"Excuse me," Avery said suddenly.

"Do you seriously mean that Dante is over 60?"

The stylist nodded once, with a wide smile on her face.

"Are you new?" Avery nodded briefly.

"That should be it! Wait for me! I will retrieve Dante and Leonardo's pictures so you might choose the most handsome," the girl laughed in excitement and hurried away before Avery would tell her she was interested in their argumentation.She only wanted to see who Dante was.

And the fact that David wasn't over 60.He looked like he was almost 30.

"Don't mind her, she's always like that whenever Dante is involved, only because he saved him five years ago!" Another girl muttered.

Avery relaxed.

Perhaps, David was older and only looked 30.She shouldn't judge so soon.

"How I wished I was saved by one of the mafia lords as well.Or perhaps I could work in their home.Damn, I would worship them forever!"

"Here! It's here," the girl hurried back to Avery.

"Here, take it," she muttered and dropped some pictures on Avery's lap.

Avery took them and the first person she was staring at was_ "Leonardo! That's Leonardo!"

The lady revealed.

Avery regarded the man in the picture for a moment.

With his white stubble and the lines on his face, one could easily come to the conclusion that he was really older.

"He indeed is still handsome,"

Avery muttered to the delight of the other girl.

Avery took the next picture and her eyes widened with shock.

"This is Dante?"

"Yes, very handsome?"

Avery didn't reply as her mind went away to David.

What was happening? "Are there any other mafia lords in Italy with the name Dante? I mean aside from this Dante?"

"No, there isn't any other Dante, or is there?"

One of the girls muttered.

"No, there certainly isn't.We have five mafia lords, excluding Mattee.We have Leonardo, Dante, Romeo, Enzo, and of course, Maximo."

Avery couldn't believe it.

Could David have lied to her? She couldn't imagine it.

There was actually something wrong somewhere or there's no reason why David would lie.She didn't want to jump to the conclusion that David wasn't a mafia lord.

If he wasn't, then he wouldn't be so close to Maximo.

Or maybe he was just a friend of Maximo.No, there was something amiss.

David wouldn't have lied about being a mafia lord.

Why exactly would he do so? Then, why exactly did he lie about being Dante when he wasn't? Why didn't he give her his mafia name in the first place? Hide of identity? "Madam!" Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.

A voice jerked Avery out of her thoughts.She released a sigh and looked up at the girl.

"Is something wrong?"

"You have yet to choose the most handsome.Who do you think that title goes to?"

"Leonardo, if I must say.He's more handsome."

"Yay!"

The girl whooped with delight as if she just won an award.

Avery couldn't stop thinking about it.But then, she doubted that David would give her the answers if she asked.

Maybe she would have to find out on her own but how? At that moment, she didn't know if she was supposed to continue trusting David or not.

Though, she felt secure with him.

And this case reminded her of Hercules of Jacksonville before he died.

Even after death, the elders couldn't reveal his identity.

Who knows? That man would have been friends with a lot of people and they wouldn't know his real identity.

Could that be the case with David? If he was really hiding his identity, then he would be someone of great importance or someone of high position and also considering the fact that Maximo held him in high esteem.She was going to find out the truth, no matter what.
