Secretly The Billionaire Boss by Debbie chocolate novel Chapter 184

“Do you know what his tattoo is?” Caramel nodded briefly. “A lion.” The pieces clicked together immediately. “Can you describe it?”

Caramel regarded him for a moment.” I will draw it instead.”

Amusement filled Grey’s face. “What? You can draw?” Caramel nodded briefly.” Very well. It’s one of my hobbies.”

A smile evaded Grey’s face as he pressed the accelerator. “Show me what you got then.”

Caramel observed him for a moment and realized he was happy. Somehow, it pleased her that he was so happy. She didn’t know if he had signed the divorce papers but she didn’t want to ask, not when they were on their way to have a nice time. At first, Caramel didn’t know why Grey would ask her for something like that but she knew that whatever it was, she kind of trusted Grey to handle it all. So, she didn’t need to ask questions, especially when he didn’t feel like explaining to her. Though, she was sure that there would come a time when Grey would be so free to tell her anything that was on his mind. And till that time, she would patiently wait.

Grey’s arm was around Caramel as they entered the big hall. There was a dance floor on one side while the club was on the other. His gaze searched quickly for Don, but his arms were doing the most work of marking territory.

Some of the men seemed to recognize him and stepped aside but Don or Richard was still nowhere to be.

Grey pulled out a chair for Caramel but she gave him a skeptical look. “When am I drawing?”

“I thought I said it?” A teasing smile was on Grey’s face.

Caramel raised confused brows. “About what?”

Grey chuckled and moved behind her. Then, he slowly pulled her down to sit. “We are here to have fun. You can draw at my house later.”

“You mean your mom’s house,” Caramel corrected with a smile.

“Whatever. Does it matter?” He walked to pull out a chair as well.

Caramel laughed.” It doesn’t, sincerely but I want to draw now.” She pouted cutely. Grey regarded her for a moment. He couldn’t help but want to compare the two women but unfortunately, they both looked very beautiful in their own way. Somehow, Grey didn’t want Avery to go but she seemed like a lost cause and Grey couldn’t stop thinking about Caramel. He and she shared some connections anyways. Even at that and the fact that Beatrice wanted them together, he found it strange to be with her.

Maybe it was because Caramel used to be Avery’s friend or it was because he was too occupied

with business and finding the spies. “You seriously want to draw?” Caramel nodded again, with pouty lips. She looked cute like a toddler that got her favorite candies.

Grey smiled at this. Somehow, he was starting to actually like Caramel. “Ok, let’s take a room here and I will ask how we can get you the paintbrush and all the other things that you need. I will get some things to drink while you paint. How about that?” Caramel nodded briefly, with a smile on her face.” That’s fine. It’s just that I have what I need with me already,” she revealed.

Within some minutes, they had settled in the perfect room and Caramel got ready to paint.

To Grey, she looked excited and he could really tell that she loved drawing so much.

“Should I stay over?” Grey asked as Caramel was about to start.

Caramel looked up at him. “Have you forgotten our agreement? You are supposed to get us something to eat and drink while I draw. Don’t watch me and be back in thirty minutes. I will be done by then.” She expressed.

Grey smiled softly.” I’m eager to see what you will bring to life,” he stood and finally walked out of the room.

Don and Richard were waiting for him, with big smiles on their faces. “What the fuck!” Grey exclaimed softly, a bit surprised. “Come with me! She mustn’t see you, “Grey said hurriedly and led them out of the hallway, and back to the club. “I didn’t see you guys when I walked in.”

“Yes, we had some personal issues to deal with,” Don responded.” Oh, is that the future Hercules’ weakness?” He asked quickly.

Grey gave him a long stare.” What do you mean by weakness?”

Richard smiled softly. “Your family is considered as your weakness. So, well, your wife and children are your weakness.”

It was at that point that Grey realized what they meant. Then, he remembered that they didn’t know about Avery. Only the elders knew.

Grey grunted, “Stop thinking so abroad. She’s just my friend. And well, I can’t afford to have a weakness now, can I?”

Don shrugged slightly.” It doesn’t matter. We would protect her with our lives.” “Shut the fuck up, Don!” Grey said quickly. Just as he turned around, his eyes went wide at who he was looking at.

What was Avery doing at MegaPhone Attitude that late in the night?

“Let’s talk later. That lady over there must not see you guys with me,” he said urgently.

Don and Richard took a short bow before they walked away.

Grey hesitated for a moment and regretted not bringing the files. He could have handed it out to her, without necessarily having to see her again. Avery reminded her of so many bad things

that he didn’t want.

Nevertheless, he moved closer to her. It was at that moment that he realized that a bottle of champagne was in its middle as Avery had consumed half of its content.

“Avery,” he called softly. Avery looked up at him, with a smile on her face. “Grey?” Grey bent slightly towards her.” What are you doing? When do you plan on going home?” Caramel regarded him for a moment and slowly pushed back her head, “Don’t deceive me. I know you are not Grey!” She pointed at him while hiccuping. “I can’t see Grey,” she took the empty cup and realized it was empty. She proceeded to take the bottle of champagne but Grey took it from her.

Grey had no idea why she was drinking. The first time she did it was when they got married. Well, they were now divorced and there was no reason to drink because of him. Just then, Chris entered his thoughts.

He wondered what Chris had done to Avery that made her so sad. “Give that back!” Avery stretched towards Grey to take the bottle of champagne, instead, she lost her footing and went backward. Grey caught her quickly before she would hit the floor. When he looked up, his eyes met with Caramel. There was a form of pain on her face.

What just happened? It looked like Grey was caught in between two women. And somehow, he was bothered, not about Avery but about Caramel.
