CHAPTER 118
Chapter 118: last meeting Grey stayed late at work intentionally. That aside, he couldn’t stop thinking about what he was supposed to use kk corporation for.
That aside, he dialed Lan's number several times but he didn’t pick up.
He didn't want to send a text, so he let it off.
Though, he decided to try later that evening.
Grey was ushered into the room with some food and drinks while he awaited the escort.
Grey passed away the time with the champagne.
It wasn't that he was going to spend much time there anyways.
He wouldn’t even take up to an hour.
He only needed to find Naomi’s whereabouts.
It didn't take up to some minutes before the door opened and a lady walked inside, dressed in exposing clothes.
She hesitated before the door and gave Grey a seducing smile before she walked inside and closed the door behind her.
She moved to Grey.
"You are handsome," she complimented as she drooled over him for a moment.
Grey placed the cup of wine on the table and looked at the lady.
“I’m not here for this.
I’m here for something else, Miss_,” he trailed off.
The lady smiled again, so seductively." Sharon," she whispered and reached for his shirt.
Grey caught her hand quickly and gave her a hard stare.
"Are you going to listen to me? Or should we do this the hard way?” Sharon’s eyes went wide with shock.” I will do anything you want," she stuttered.
Grey let go of her hand." Is there anyone by the name Naomi as a female escort here?” There was a flicker of emotion in Sharon's eyes but she chose to hide it.
Instead, she shook her head quickly.
Grey regarded her for a moment and knew that she was hiding something.
He took some dollars from his pocket and placed them on the table.
This can be yours if you give me all the answers I want.” Sharon’s eyes went wide with excitement as she stared at the money.
She made a quick calculation as she finally settled on something.
"I will answer you to the best of my knowledge," she assured.
Grey smiled and made a curt nod of the head.
"Is there anyone named Naomi here?" Sharon nodded quickly." Yes, she used to be an escort.
Pablo brought her in a few days back," she affirmed.
Grey felt anger seep into him.Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.
He knew that Audrey must have been the one to sell her as an escort.
Though, he wondered why he would do such a thing.
Why then would he lie to Lan as well? Well, Grey got questions but the answers eluded him.
"But why are you using such a tense for her? Isn’t she among you?” Sharon shook her head slightly.” She's not," she answered and took the money, with a smiling face." Thank you so much for this." Grey nodded once.
"Where's Naomi currently?" Sharon hesitated and Grey saw a flash of terror in her eyes.
She regarded Grey for a moment.
“Audrey came for her,” she whispered.
I overheard them talking about it.
I think she offended Pablo or Audrey.
Whichever way, she's not going to survive it," she revealed in a voice so low than whisper as if she was scared someone might hear her.
No wonder, Grey matched the pieces together quickly.
Audrey knew exactly what he was doing Though, he wondered where he kept Naomi at that moment.
"Are you going to let me do my work now?" Sharon’s voice interrupted his reverie.
He looked at her and slowly shook his head.
"I'm not in for that," he stood up and hesitated again.
He turned around, hovering over her, "What does Pablo look like? Sharon shook her head again in dismay.
“No one knows what he looks like.” She announced.
Grey nodded once before he walked out of the room.
Gregory called him hours back to let him know that the kids had arrived at the estate.
And his heart ached at the fact that he was unable to provide for the girl’s mother.
Who knows, Audrey might have killed her.
"Did you get anything, Boss?" Don asked the question the moment Grey got inside the car.
He was waiting in the car for him.
"I got solid information but unfortunately for me, I don't know where Naomi is at the moment,” Grey announced.
"But Naomi used to be one of Pablo's escorts? That was true?” Grey nodded briefly as he pulled out into the street.
"Pablo must have brought her here to earn for Audrey.
Somehow, Audrey must have been close with Pablo," he explained.
"And who is Pablo? I've never heard that name," Don complained.
Grey shrugged slightly.
“None of the girls have seen him as well.
He's working cautiously and_," Grey hesitated and his face went pale all of a sudden.” What if Pablo is Giovanni’s son? The one we are looking for?" Don gathered his brows as he watched Grey with disbelief." That's not possible." "Why not?" "Well, Audrey seemed to know what Pablo looks like.
There’s no way it would be Giovanni’s son.
The information says no one knows what Giovanni looks like." “Well, the truth is sometimes hard.
Pablo could be Giovanni's son and Audrey might not even know about it.
Also, forcing women to become an escort is something that Giovanni’s son would do.
He would behave like his father, wouldn't he? And he's working in Atomic Liquors.
There are just a lot of things to consider.
Somehow, my instinct agrees with me, “Grey explained.
Don thought about it for a moment.
The explanation was feasible but he couldn't stop thinking about it and then, he wondered what Pablo actually looked like.
Grey's phone beeped suddenly and a message popped up on the screen.
Grey picked it up, it was a message from Lan.
A smile evaded his face as he read through the message.
It read: Meet me at this location by ten tomorrow morning.
And the address followed.
Grey looked up at Don.
“I think it’s going to be our last meeting.
We only need to get where Naomi is, then, we can deal with Audrey,” he hinted.
Don nodded, with a smile." Finally, I can't wait." Grey couldn’t help but think of the reason why Lan didn’t call despite the several calls that he missed.
Why did he send a text when he was supposed to call? All the same, he was going to see him the next day.
Though, Grey couldn’t stop thinking about the code.
Lan was supposed to send the appropriate code if he wasn’t able to talk when Grey called the other time.
Somehow, Grey couldn’t help but feel a little uneasy.
