CHAPTER 219
Chapter 219: Why?
Caramel wanted to reject Hercules but she knew how much that would cost her And well, she didn’t want to be on a tone’s bad side
That aside, it was Giovanni she hated and not Hercules.
She slowly accepted the invite.
The ladies whooped in delight as Grey led Caramel to the opening. The ladies stepped back, somehow wishing it could have been them. Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.
Never has it been that a president would dance in designer clothes but Hercules was breaking the rules And no one was worried about it.
In fact, everyone was happy with the newly elected president, knowing full well he was capable physically and financially.
A piece of soft music played slowly
Caramel smiled nervously. “I don’t really know how to dance”
Grey pulled her closer suddenly and moved to whisper in her ears. You don’t need to Just follow my steps, and I will lead you.”
Caramel felt her heartbeat increase at the contact of their body from under the material.
The reporters and bloggers were around them, already recording them They allowed it eventually
The silence that existed between them felt awkward that Caramel had to say something. “Why did you choose me? I was not standing with the rest of the ladies.”
Grey smiled. Caramel was always inquisitive.
“I like when someone stands off from the crowd,” he responded in a deep voice.
Caramel blushed slightly as Grey turned her around, against her wish. Grey knew how to dance and he was really leading her very well. He was strong too and it was easy for him to move her as he wished
“Do you mind if I talk to you about something?” She started, unable to let the opportunity waste Caramel was also very calculative. This was why Grey had to change his clothes.
“Shoot,” he made Caramel take two steps forward before he held her by the waist so that she could turn
on her own.
Caramel sighed, feeling exhausted already but she whirled around severally until Grey stopped her by moving her closer again.
“Can I work in your company? Protos Pubblicita? I was going to submit my letter of application on Monday but since I’m dancing with you, I see no reason why I have to stress myself.”
Grey smiled again. Trying on your luck?” He laughed and for once, Caramel actually thought it was Grey that spoke.
Yes, isn’t that what life is all about?”
Grey didn’t answer and pulled backward, as the music ended.
Caramel stared at him, desperate. She was going to slowly stop running her father’s company and find a job that suits her. Then, she would be able to tell her father the truth about her status.
Men moved forward as another music started playing. It looked like it was the time for everyone
interested in dancing to dance.
Everyone went for their choice of women and Alex saw it as the chance to pick Caramel.
Just as he got to her and was about to open his mouth to say something. Grey was already by her hand, with an invite.
Caramel regarded Alex for a moment, before she slowly took Grey’s hand, leaving Alex fuming in anger.
He was so angry that he could jump at Grey and start a fight there but it would only tarnish his reputation and that of his father. So, he decided to be calm about it.
“Were you going to accept Alex’s hand if I hadn’t gotten there?” Unconsciously, the question slipped out of his mouth.
Caramel looked shocked for a moment. “Why must you ask such a question?”
Grey shrugged slightly. “Just curious. I saw the way he looks at you.
Caramel looked away, blushing even harder. “I might or not ”
Grey groaned. “Come to Protos Pubblicita by 8 am on Monday and request for Maria She would reply to
your request.”
Caramel looked up, with a smiling face that made Grey’s heart skip a beat.
At that moment, he had a stronger desire to kiss her but he would have to remove his mask for it.
“Hey, mind if I borrow him for a moment?” Chloe said suddenly, coming in between Caramel.
Grey looked at her, with feelings close to anger. “No one borrows Hercules” He boomed, with a voice that. sent chills down the ladies’ spine.
Chloe nodded quickly. “I didn’t mean that but I just need to speak with you for a moment.”
Caramel saw the tension and smiled softly. “I’m tired of dancing anyways. I will just get something to drink,” she said quickly and excused herself.
Grey regarded her for a moment. “It better be something very important or you will be sorry for disturbing me,” he warned and took her hands so that they could dance.
“I know it’s you,” she said softly.
Grey raised skeptical brows and watched her for a moment. “What do you mean?”
Chloe moved even close to him. “I know it’s you, Grey Fox.”
Grey’s hands on her went rigid as he watched her. ” How?”
Chloe stepped back. It wasn’t a coincidence that I saw you amid the richest men in the city at 5star suites and then realized you entered the hall with them. Then, I compared your height and your blue eyes. Eventually, you had this familiar gaze on me before you moved to dance with Caramel,” she explained.
Grey dropped his hold on her left hand. With her right hand in his, he led her out of the hall.
Charles and Richard rushed after him, skeptical as to what was happening.
Grey led Chloe to his car. He opened the door. “Enter!” And ordered.
Chloe gathered her clothes and entered the car. Her heart was starting to breathe even faster and she was starting to regret telling Grey what she knew.
Grey walked to the driver’s seat, just in time for Charles and Richard to reach the car.
“Boss’ They called but Grey ignored them and drove out into the street.
“You know what,” Grey started in his usual voice. “You were right. I am Grey,” and he pulled the mask off
Chloe’s eyes went wide with shock as she stared at Grey’s handsome face.
Then, realization hits harder that she almost collapsed.
“Are you going to kill me? Is this where you are driving to?”
Grey glanced at her. “Why do you think I would kill you?”
Chloe swallowed harder. “Because I now know the truth. I’m the only living witness aside from your elders
that have seen your face,” she whispered, her voice sounding unlike her.
Grey nodded briefly. “Good that you know you deserve it.”
Chloe’s heart almost stops breathing. “So, you are really going to kill me?”
