CHAPTER 194
Chapter 194 Grey stared at the invite. “It’s happening so soon. Why wasn’t I informed beforehand?”
“The members didn’t know who you were and you haven’t been active in the society,” Aphrodite responded and took her wine cup for a sip. “Alfred wouldn’t mention you because he was protecting you but since it’s turning this way, I’m guessing we need to use it to our benefit,” she suggested.
Grey looked at her for a moment. “Is there a way I can partake in this without reviewing my face?”
Aphrodite shook her head. “I think it’s high time you came out. But If you will really be accepting the title of the billionaire boss, then you will need to finally reveal what yourself to the world,” she regarded him for a moment. “Though, I think it’s a bad choice.”
Grey grunted and sat well. After he left Victoria Skincare that morning, he picked up the invite from Maria and had been thinking of the right thing to do.
Gregory called him to advise him not to go. He was really worried but Grey knew why Alfred wanted him to go. It was really going to benefit him being the billionaire president of the billionaire club.
“What are the elders saying about it?” Aphrodite asked suddenly.
“Alfred wants me to go but Gregory doesn’t. The other elders probably either took sides with Alfred or Gregory. Though-,” he said up and took his wine glass. “I understand them both. I’m just trying to find a way to go with both of them,” he sipped the wine slowly.
Aphrodite raised skeptical brows. “Is that even possible?”
Grey nodded once and placed the wine glass on the table. “And I’ve just thought of something. So, may I ask you? Aside from the presiding president, who else has high authority in the club?”
Aphrodite thought for a moment. “Like godfather?” Grey nodded severally. “Something like that.” “Yes, there is. We have Jamal. He’s currently The Godfather of the club but he’s older and barely attends meetings,” she explained and regarded him for a moment. “But you do know that Jamal isn’t as rich as you are. Though I understand the advantages of becoming one ! don’t think it should make you go through the extreme,” she advised. A smile curved on Grey’s lips as he watched Aphrodite. “And I have just the right thing to do Is there a way I can meet with Jamal?”
Aphrodite nodded severally, “I can set an appointment but may I ask you why?”
“I will let you know when it’s sealed. Right now, I need to speak with Jamal. I will get back to the elders about the outcome,” he assured.
Aphrodite nodded severally.” I will do that then, as soon as I can
Grey seniled, “I will be expecting You should leave now, it’s petting rather too late,” he reminded her.
Alrodite darted at her wristwatch. ”That’s
I licard from Alfred how you met Beatrice.”
Grey stared at her in silence
Aphrodite shrugged silently. “I respect your decision, Grey,” she smiled and stood. “I will get back to you tomorrow about the outcome,” she assured.
Grey stood as well. “Secretly, Novia. You know how it is,” he walked her out.
Aphrodite laughed. “I know how it is. You don’t have to remind me. Oh, that reminds me of the party that Alex invited you to. Are you going?” Grey shook his head negatively. “A very bad idea,” he smiled. “I hope I am not delaying you. I mean you are supposed to return to Italy.”
Aphrodite entered the car and looked at him. “I will leave in two weeks. That is if you will be attending the billionaire members’ party.”
Grey regarded her for a moment. “Are you sure you will be fine?”
Aphrodite smiled and nodded briefly. “It’s my job to be beside you. All other things can wait,” she assured. “Bye then,” she started the ignition and drove away.
Grey stared at the car until it was out of sight. Just as he was about to turn around and leave, headlights flashed over him.
He turned around and saw a car fast approaching. It almost hit him but he was fast enough to Inove out of the way.
The car pulled to a stop very fast and the door opened.
Grey brows were raised as he anticipated who it was. Though, he couldn’t guess who it might be. Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.
But the moment the familiar face came to view, Grey eyes went wide in shock.
He rushed forward quickly as Caramel was about to slump out of the car. If Grey wasn’t so fast, she might have hit her head on the floor.
*Caramel, what the fuck!” He cussed as he steadied her, with his arms around her.
“Grey?” She gulped and suddenly resulted laughing.
Her inouth smelt of alcohol.
“Damn, you are so drunk! Why?”
“p_promise me, Grey,” she stuttered drunkenly. “Promise,” she hiccuped for a moment.” That you will never betray me.”
Grey stared at her, shocked for a moment. “Did something happen, Caramel?” “M_mny mom,” she mumbled and cosed her eyes. Her head went backward, pulling the hair away from ber sexy neck
Grey swallowed at the sight of it. There was no doubt in saying that Caramel does affect him more than Avery Grey just couldn’t go ahead with her but somehow, there was always something always pulling him closer to her Grey shook his head to jolt out of his thoughts before he started thinking of something dirtier.
He pulled Caramel out of the seat until she was standing beside him. He closed the door and realized that Caramel was awake again. She was watching Grey with a such a gaze that awoke thousands of hormones in Grey. He had to stay back with every ounce of strength that he got
“Grey,” she called softly.
Grey stared at her but didn’t reply. It wasn’t as if Caramel was expecting a reply anyways. She smiled softly and pulled closer to kiss him.
