Secretly The Billionaire Boss by Debbie chocolate novel Chapter 99

Chapter 99: Possibilities “Oh, I didn’t know when our wonderful son-in-law came home last night,” Smith started, with sarcasm.

Avery sighed.” So, what’s it about this morning!”

Smith smiled. “That your husband comes home late every time. Ever wonder what could be keeping him so late? It’s not like he directs the whole country or he’s Hercules’s heir,” he teased and continued to eat. “I had some business to take care of,” Grey mummbled the reply.

Smith nodded severally. “Every time. Or are you still a delivery man?”

“Shut up Smith!” Avery yelled in frustration.

“Your husband is the most miserable of all, and don’t yell at me! I’m not your mate!” Smith retaliated.

Lucy groaned.” What is always happening at the breakfast table?” “Well, father, you need to tame your little cousin,” Emma jibed.

Smith turned to Emma.” Are you saying it’s my fault that Grey comes home late?

“Heck, he can be wherever he wants to,” Benjamin said quickly.

“No!” Avery and Emma chorused at the same time.

Benjamin blinked once, at the outburst. “What then?”

Smith chuckled. “Are you guys scared he might be seeing another girl? Perhaps Avery is not the only beautiful one.” Emma looked at Smith. It was at this moment that his idea brainwave her. She knew that Grey would be gone if she could do that. At first, she would need to find the perfect person for it.

Lucy’s eyes sparkled up. “He wouldn’t dare!” He boomed. “Right, Grey?”

Grey who was chewing coughed severally and managed a nod. “Yes, grandfather. It can never be true.” “Master Smith,” one of the maids called out and moved closer to Smith.” You left your phone in the library yesterday.” “Oh,” Smith mumbled and took the phone. He looked through and realized that he missed Seth’s calls.

“Library?” Emma laughed. “You seemed to be working so hard.” “Sure,” Smith laughed.” We have an appointment with Protos Pubblicita today and we must impress them.” “Only Avery should go, why are you disturbing yourself?” Grey asked quickly. Smith looked up at him.” Says the man that spends time with ladies and blames it on work. I sincerely don’t think Hercules or Giovanni work as much as you do,” he said, with a hint of sarcasm.

Grey laughed.” But you should know that you aren’t invited. Protos specifically said Avery should head the team, why are you going then?” Smith regarded him for a moment, “oh, I can see that uncle told you about it already. Well, yes, she’s now the head but I’m going there as part of the representative.” “Don’t try it, Smith. We don’t want your lazy ass,” he got up. “I’m leaving earlier,” he apologized and hurried out of the house. He dialed Jane’s line immediately as he pulled out into the street. “Hello Boss, good morning,” Jane said cheerfully. “Morning. So, Protos Pubblicita is having an appointment with LN material

today?”

“Yes boss, by twelve,” she responded quickly. Grey nodded once.” If you let Smith into the meeting room, you will lose your job.

“What!” Jane trembled and it was vivid in her voice. “You heard me right, Jane but I will repeat myself. I’m working with Avery Robinson. If you mistakenly let Smith Robinson into the meeting room, I’m going to fire you and every security on duty, understood?” “Y_yes sir,” she stuttered. “Anything else?”

Grey thought for a moment and remembered the investors. “Can I get a conference call with the investors? Not all actually, four is enough.” Jane went silent for a moment as if she was thinking about it. ” Yes sir, very positive. When do you want to have it, so I can inform them beforehand.” “Tomorrow,” he said quickly.

“Alright, I will make arrangements and get back to you concerning the time. Is that fine by you sir?”

Grey smiled.” Very fine, we will talk later then,” and he hung up. Grey took a stop at the police station and gave them the recorded video of the assaulter. When they questioned him about who he suspected, he told them it was Seth as he had initially threatened him with it.

The police promised to get the guys whose faces were exposed by the camera and extract a confession from them.

Grey pulled up in front of Alfred’s house. The huge house reminded him of his father’s estate. The difference was the spacious settings. His father’s estate was by far bigger than Alfred’s house.

“Grey!” Alfred was happy to see him. There was this smile on his face as he met with Grey. “Come in,” he ushered him into the fully furnished and rich living room.

“Good morning. Did I keep you waiting for long?” He asked, concerned. Alfred smiled it off.” Anything for Hercules.” Grey laughed at this. Alfred called out to one of his maids as they entered the lounge. “But you need to brief me on what is really happening. I hate the fact that I’m in darkness.”

Grey laughed and stared at the bottle of champagne. “I’m not supposed to drink, I’m going to work.” “Then have some fruit juice with biscuits, is that fine?” Grey nodded once before he stared into space, thoughts colliding in him in some sort of crazy confusion.

“Alfred,” he called suddenly and turned to look at him. “What do you know about Audrey?”

Alfred regarded him for a moment and sighed.” Richard told me some things about him. What led you to him?”

“Well, I own some shares in Seth’s company but he chose to sell the company off. So, I decided to double cross him.”

Alfred settled in front of him.” Richard told me that you had to reveal your identity to him,” he brought up. Grey nodded once.” I told them not to talk but they did just that. Well, that’s not the main issue, something else is.”

Alfred raised skeptical brows at him.” What can that be?”

Chatt

Grey sighed. “One of Audrey’s men is working for me but his family is in danger. I’m thinking of where Audrey could have hid them,” he informed.

Alfred observed him for a moment before he stood up and met halfway with the maid. He took the tray of biscuit and juice from her. Then, he signaled for her to leave before he walked back to Grey and gently placed the tray on the table.

“You are deviating from the main issue, Hercules. Audrey is Giovanni’s partner. Giovanni knows not to try to boss him around. So, if he feels threatened by you, he would definitely see om Giovanni. And well, I don’t need to remind you who Giovanni is.”

” That aside, the spy you got could be a trap. It could be a trap set by Audrey. What will happen when you fall into it?”.

Grey’s eyes narrowed as he watched Alfred. He had never thought about the possibility but what if? Just what if Lan was lying to him?
