Secretly The Billionaire Boss

Chapter 29: Encounter with Giovanni‘s men

The auction was over after the last bid but Grey stayed behind as well as Aphrodite. Grey didn‘t know what she was thinking about but since he wanted to speak with her, he decided to stay behind Grey turned to look at Saint. “Can you get Alfred to pay for the jewelry? I don‘t have that amount with me.”

Saint smiled.” I will do that,” he said and walked out of the hall. Grey looked back at Aphrodite, just in time for her to stand up. She started toward the door. “Miss Aphrodite,” he called quickly. “Will you give me a few minutes with you?” He said politely and stood up as well.

Aphrodite looked back at him, her stare cold. “What business do I have with you, Mr. Grey?” She was still angry and her face was a piece of evidence.

Grey smiled and walked closer to her, topping her with several inches. “You do look beautiful when you are angry,” he taunted. He was doing the opposite of what Gregory told him never to do.

Aphrodite regarded him for a moment, then she smiled softly. “You think?”

Grey smiled as well. “I will do anything to tease you again, just to see your beautiful face.” Aphrodite took a step forward so that they are close now.” Are you a newbie? Don‘t you know the rules?” Grey shook his head slightly.” There are no rules when it comes to a pretty lady. Anyways, I‘m Grey Fox,” he extended his hand. Aphrodite stared at his hand for a moment and ignored it. The door opened suddenly and several men rushed in, to stand behind Aphrodite. “Is everything alright, miss Aphrodite?” One of the men asked. Grey pulled Aphrodite by her hand quickly, so that she would be forced to hug him. He pulled her closer to his chest and leaned towards her ear.

“I thought you of all people will recognize who I am. This is Hercules, your boss.”

Aphrodite went numb for a moment.” What? Hercules?” She was more than surprised.

Grey pulled back to look at her. “Don‘t say it aloud. I’m undercover.”

“What are you doing? Get Aphrodite now!” One of the men ordered. “Wait!” Aphrodite stopped them quickly, then she looked up at Grey. “Grey Fox?” She smiled. “it‘s truly your name.!’ Grey spread his arms in defeat.” I told you.” Aphrodite used the opportunity to hit him in the chest. “That is for leaving me ten years ago.” Grey groaned and smiled at the same time. It was at that moment that he remembered he had met Aphrodite severally before the accident.
