CHAPTER 172
Chapter 172: A man afterall After they got some clothing, Grey drove straight to Beatrice’s house It was getting very late now and Grey was happy about it They might not need to take a drive. Grey most especially just wanted to get some beer and drink.
Grey’s phone rang suddenly but he didn’t want to pick it up as it was Richard calling. He didn’t want to talk in front of Caramel
Caramel was still a bit shocked but she wouldn’t talk about it. Actually, Grey loved it that way. He didn’t even know what to say to her if she asked.
“So, here’s iny mom’s apartment”
Caramel gazed around ” It’s really beautiful. Does she stay here alone? I mean since you stay at Robinson’s place.”
Grey nodded briefly as he got out “She stays alone. She doesn’t really like staying with people anyways. She is very quiet and mindful,” he explained as he led her inside the living room.
Caramel marveled at the room and its design, as well as the high quality of furniture around, There was no way she would see and wouldn’t recognize such expensive furniture
Grey placed a bar on the chair “You should go to the visitor’s room. Just go through the tallway, it’s the first room you would see,” he described.” We should meet in the living room Though, I might prepare some cake before we leave for the club since it’s getting late already.” Caramel’s eyes sparkled up suddenly “You can cook?”
Grey nodded briefly “II’s what I do all the time, especially when I was still in school,” he revealed
Caramel stared at him for a moment “Who are you, Grey?”
Grey smiled softly “Do you mean where I got a such huge amount of money from?”
Caramel nodded briefly ” Tell me, I can keep a secret,” she said softly, letting her voice fall so low as if there were people around her that she was hiding from
Grey laughed “No, Caramel There’s no secrel anywhere.”
“That you are nch? Perhaps, you are hiding your identity because of something either dangerous or not,” Caramel guessed
Grey regarded her for a moment. Caramel was really observant. She had actually guessed what was happening to him but it wasn’t yet the time for her to know what was actually happening or who he really was
“No, Caramel There’s nothing like that I thought you would have figured it out already. I told you that I got a mother recently. She owns all these, including the money and all others,” he
Caramel watched him for a moment ds if reading through his expression to know if he was lying: Even at thal, she didn’t believe him.
“Wiy do I lol there’s something you ale keeping away from me?”
Grey chuckled softly.” No, Caramel. I am hiding nothing. You shouldn’t think too much.”
“I’m not thinking about anything. I’m just looking at the possibility”
“Well,” Grey let out a sigh. ” My new mother gave me everything. She made me buy a new company and start what I just did. All i know is that I would forever be grateful to her. And well, do you think I would have this amount of money and still suffer? Do you know everything I passed through as a child? During my college days? Do you what me to narrate to you?” he uttered softly.
Caramel looked away and slowly released a sigh. Grey was right anyways. There was no way he would be rich and still go through so much.
There was something else wrong anyway, that was what her mind kept telling her. There was something he did during her attack and he would say it. But she would be patient till she found out.
“Alright, I will change then,” she announced and walked away, towards the path that Grey had described
Grey watched her for a moment until she had entered the room. He slowly released the breath didn’t know he was holding, Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.
He didn’t want to lie to Caramel too anyway. Well, he could simply just tell her something but he knew who Caramel was. She would keep asking him questions until she found out he was the Hercules.
And Caramel knows too many mafia guys. It would not only place her in a tight position but it would endanger Grey’s life
So, it was better that they continued to do this,
He went inside his room. He rounded the bed and moved to the closet to check if his properties were still there. Well, he found them
He collapsed on the bed and wondered what the next course of action would be after he signed the divorce paper. Maybe he could think of it after it was all done.
He went inside for a quick bath and chose a grey t-shirt with a pair of black long trousers. They were all designers and they looked so good on him. It was as if it was tailored majorly for him.
When he walked out of the room, Caramel was still in the room. So, he proceeded into the kitchen to bake some pancakes.
He was somehow starving but he didn’t feel well to go to 5star with the workers.
His phone rang suddenly and he picked it up this time. “Hi boss,” Richard boomed, “I waited for you to call and when I didn’t hear anything from you, I tried several times to reach you.”
“Yes, I’in sorry about that. I should have informed you of the change in plan. We had an open sale and I got extra busy. In fact, I’m so tired and hungry as of now.”
Richard chuckled slightly. “You look too stronger to be tired.”
Grey smiled at this. “Let’s make it tomorrow. I’m coming with a friend of mine.”
“Alright. Goodnight boss.”
“Good night,” Grey finished and hung up. “Is that about the gym?” A feminine voice reached his ears suddenly, startling him for a moment. He hadn’t expected that Caramel would be out so soon. Then, he remembered that she wouldn’t be applying any beauty cosmetic as there was none of it at the house. If Caramel was in her house, then it might take her four to five hours to dress up.
Grey tumed to look at Caramel and froze suddenly. Caramel was in the high slit Ruffle dress that they got for $10,000. It was a lace knit fabric black dress with an exposed black zip and snap button closures. There was an exaggerated front slit detail and it flowed down to her legs, though exposing her right leg Caramel was not only beautiful but also sexy and Grey felt his heart skip a beat.
