Chapter 389: Unyielding

Grey got home early that day. He rounded everything off so he could attend to the letter from Italy.

Grey opened the door and hesitated. Charles was already inside, waiting for him.

"I quit work earlier for you. I couldn't wait to read the letter from Italy. I wonder where it came from," he smiled softly and raised the letter. It was already in his hand." I think you should freshen up. I will read this and get back to you."

Grey smirked. "Alright, give me some minutes," he said and walked to his room. Before he disappeared, he caught Charles opening the letter.

He walked inside the bathroom for a quick shower. He felt new after it. He got dressed in a trouser and a black t-shirt.

When he stepped out again, Charles was having a drink at the bar.

"So, what's in it for me?" Grey walked to him and sat in front of him.

Charles nodded once. "I don’t understand it. I think you would if you read it," he placed the letter in front of him and continued to sip his wine.

Grey regarded Charles for a moment before he took the letter and perused it. It read. ‘Come to Italy and save me’.

His forehead was gathered together after he was done. He didn’t understand the letter at first. Could someone need his help from Italy? And who could that be?

"I don’t even have an idea who it can be," Charles muttered. "Maybe you can talk to Alfred about it. He should definitely know about it."

Grey nodded once. "You are right," he pulled his phone out but hesitated. " But could it be James?" He placed a call to Alfred nonetheless. He picked it up after the second ring. "Hello, Alfred."
