CHAPTER 180
Chapter 180: The first
Grey woke up ten minutes before 7 the next day.
He got home late the night before and kind of missed Avery’s complaint about it.
Grey made oatmeal as he didn’t even want to cook. He had initially called Richard to meet him at home. They were going to Alex’s gym to work out.
Grey had decided to work more on his physique structure as well as trying to learn how to handle a gun.
Horn sounded from outside ad Grey knew that it was Richard.
Just as Grey walked out of the kitchen, he ran into Beatrice.
“Grey! Why did you wake up so early? You came late yesterday!” Beatrice scolded.
Grey smiled. “I’m fine. I need thirty minutes workout. I will complete it by afternoon.”
Beatrice shook her head briefly. “What should I make for you?” Grey thought for a moment, ” Anything is alright,” he pecked her and walked out of the house. Richard was already waiting by the door. “Good morning boss.” “Morning Richard,” Grey replied and moved to the passenger’s side but Richard hurried closer and pulled the door open for him. Grey smiled and got inside. “Are you going to work out in the afternoon?” Richard asked as he got inside the car. Grey nodded once. “I will. This morning workout will be for thirty minutes.”
“I know the exact machine to go for this morning so you wouldn’t be too tired for work and you won’t be late.”
“I have a few minutes before eight to prepare, so I would be fine,” he responded.
Richard went silent for a moment as different thoughts collided with him in some sort of crazy confusion. He was so curious about the night before and thought Grey would initiate it. But when he didn’t, he decided to ask.
“So, boss. How was last night? Were you able to see what Pablo looked like?”
“No, something came up. Pablo is watching me now. That’s why I need to frequent the gym. I need to speak with Alex and make him plan another meeting,” he revealed.
Richard nodded in understanding, even though he didn’t know what had happened but he knew better than questioning the boss.
They arrived at the gym and there were few people around because it was early. Grey had informed Alex anyways that he was coming over. “Do you have anything to do with the spies?” Alex asked suddenly, after the workout just as Grey was leaving
Grey shook his head briefly. “I don’t. I just hope Pablo would like to see me soon.”
Alex smiled briefly.” That’s left for Pablo to decide.”
Grey smiled as well. “Yes, it’s ok. I will wait until he’s ready,” he assured and moved to Richard. “You can leave now and let’s meet in the afternoon. I will text you the time.”
As he pulled up in the front yard, a familiar car caught his sight. What was Caramel doing at the house?
Anyways, Grey saw it as an opportunity to ask Caramel if she knew about the tattoo on Alex’s back.
When Grey entered, he was amazed to see Beatrice and Caramel laughing at the dining. He had always wondered what Beatrice loved in Caramel. She seemed too calm around her as if something
was pulling them closer. Grey hadn’t really noticed it before but at that moment, it felt like Beatrice was Caramel’s mother. Well, they seemed to have a such mother-daughter relationship.
But well, that wasn’t possible. Beatrice’s child was a male while Caramel’s mother died during childbirth.
“Grey?” Beatrice called all of a sudden and forcefully pulled Grey out of his thoughts. Grey looked at Caramel. “You didn’t tell me you were coming.”
“Yes, I forgot some of my clothing here and I thought it would be better to get them in the morning before you leave for work than in the afternoon when I won’t be sure when you would be at home,” Caramel explained.
Grey nodded once and caught the intense stare that Beatrice was giving the both of them.” Mom, I need to shower.”
Beatrice smiled. “Do that and join us for breakfast.” “Alright,” he smiled and walked upstairs, into his room. When Grey walked out again, Beatrice and Caramel were at the door and it looked like Caramel would have left if Beatrice hadn’t started talking to her. Though, Caramel didn’t look offended anyways. Beatrice looked up at Grey and gestured towards Caramel. “Caramel is leaving, will you walk her to the car?” “Sure,” Grey said quickly. It looked like he spent more time in the bathroom. He needed it anyways.
Beatrice walked away while Grey met up with Caramel. “Did I take so long?”
Caramel smiled, “No, but I needed to prepare for work. Beatrice said you went to the gym?”
Grey smiled, “Staying fit is currently my main priority.” Caramel regarded him for a moment.” You have a nice body. Your body would be even nicer after the workout.”Content is property © .
Grey smiled at this. “I want to ask you a question. Does Alex have a tattoo?” Caramel stared for a moment.” Why?” Grey shrugged slightly.” Nothing but I think I saw a claw around his neck when he hugged you the other day.”
Caramel slowly shook her head.” I don’t know but he has never pulled off his clothes in front of me. I mean we haven’t been that close. I was dating Liam then and I couldn’t hang out with his friends more than casual,” she explained. Grey nodded casually. “Alright, we will talk later.” ” Later?” Caramel raised a brow and laughed. ” I’m coming for the creams. You sincerely didn’t think I want to glow?”
Grey laughed and watched her drive out.
His phone rang and it was Jimmy:
“Hello, Jimmy.”
“Hello, Boss. I have a piece of good news for you Boss,” he announced.
“Yes, what’s it about?”
“The website is ready but that’s not the main news. Your products and website are suddenly ranking on social media. It’s in the top ten. Aphrodite lovers are everywhere, supporting the products. In fact, it’s doing great!” He revealed with excitement in his voice. Grey smiled at the news.” That’s great news! But not what we want. We are aiming for the first position because it’s ours,” he said with determination.
