Secretly The Billionaire Boss by Debbie chocolate

Chapter 288

Grey’s phone rang suddenly as they drove along the street. It was Tiana.

"Hello boss, should we drive to your house or straight to Caramel's house?"

Grey regarded the car in front of him for a moment. "Take her home, Tiana," he finished and hung up.

"Are you alright?" Charles inquired.

Grey sighed and stared out of the window into nothingness. He had a lot on his mind anyways but he

doesn't want to talk about it at that moment.

"Boss," Charles called suddenly, pulling Grey out of his thoughts. "Don’s car is actually parked. It

looked like they wanted to speak with you."

Grey glanced down at his phone's screen but there were no missed calls from Tiana. He wondered why

they were stopping anyways.

Charles pulled to a stop behind Don’s car.

Grey got down and made his way toward the car. He opened the door and only Tiana was staring up at

him.

"Where’s Caramel?"

"She wants to speak with you," she announced and pointed in the opposite direction, at Caramel's

figure.

Alex let out a sigh before he moved closer to Caramel slowly. "Caramel," he called softly. 1

Caramel shivered slightly before she turned around to look at Grey. "Grey," she called softly. Her voice

got low and unlike hers.

Grey regarded her for a moment and saw the devastated look on her. He hesitated, "I told Don to take

you home. You will be saved over there," he assured.

Caramel rushed forward until she had ended up in his arms. She sobbed quietly as she hugged her so

tightly as if someone was going to rip her away.

Grey hesitated for a moment before he hugged her back, and stroked her back slowly.

"It’s ok," he assured her.

‘Tm sorry for running away. I thought it was the best thing to do. I didn't believe Alex could do

something like this," she almost choked on her words. "I was so scared to death!" She expressed.

Grey let out a sigh. "It’s not your fault, actually. In fact, I think I understand you now. I mean it looked

like the best. There's no way I can keep a tab on you for 24 hours without getting through your privacy.

There won’t be free will and there's no way you would be comfortable about it. You chose the best

option. I just didn't like the fact that you are willing to do this in your way."

Caramel sobbed silently. "I'm sorry for the way I reacted to you. I’m so sorry, Grey."

Grey nodded briefly. "It's ok, Caramel. I'm not mad and I understand you were just so startled. It's ok,"

he stroked her hair slowly. "I understand you perfectly and you are going to be alright?"

Caramel pulled back slowly. "Are you sure?"

Grey wiped off the tears on her face with the tip of his finger. "You will be fine. I will make sure you get

out of Jacksonville safely. You won't need to worry about anything and I will call you back when

everything is alright."

Caramel smiled. "You will?"

He nodded briefly. "You will be fine because I will be in charge of everything," he assured.

He had never really thought about it, about the fact that Alex was going to give it all it takes to have

Caramel. Unless he was going to have Caramel stay guarded 24/7 which wouldn't be so pleasing to

Caramel, considering the fact that she would want to go on with her daily work. Would he send his men

with her to Protos Pubblicita?

"You can go home now, I will send my men to watch over you till morning. I will book a new flight for

you," he expressed.

Caramel shook her head briefly. "I will stay with you and mom."

Grey nodded briefly. "Alright, let's go then."

He led her to her car and opened the door to let her get inside before he got inside as well.

"We are going home," he announced to Charles.

Charles made a nod of his head and started the ignition.

Grey placed a call to Don and he picked it up immediately.

"Hello, boss."

'You can go home but send a dozen men to my place," he ordered.

Caramel’s head was hanging over his shoulder as Grey pulled her closer to him. She soon closed her

eyes.

"Alright boss, goodnight."

Just as the call ended, his phone rang almost immediately. It was Alfred.

Grey glanced at Caramel before he picked it up. "Hello Alfred."

"Hi Hercules. How are you doing?"

'Tm doing fine. Is something wrong?”

'Yes,” Alfred hesitated. "It’s about Leo. I'm yet to find him."

Grey grunted. 'Tm not in the mood for this, Alfred, and I'm definitely not in the mood to find someone

that killed my father," he expressed sadly.

Caramel has fallen asleep now, against his shoulder.

"Grey, you have to listen to me. You know me, Grey. I don’t waste my time on things that aren't worth it.

You just have to listen to me." He pleaded silently.

Grey groaned inwardly. "Alright, what is this all about?"

Alfred let out a sigh. 'We have to find Leo, Grey. If Giovanni has taken him, then we are in a great

mess. It means trouble for us."

Grey gathered his brows. 'What do you mean?"

"Leo knows about you. He knows who the real Hercules is. What if Giovanni was trying to find this out

from him? You know what this means if he succeeds," he alerted.

Grey thought about it for a moment. "I thought Leo didn't remember anything."

‘Well, that’s where the trouble lies. He doesn't remember anything from the past but because of our

medication, he sees and remembers things from the present, which include everything we did in my

house," he explained.

Grey’s heart made a sudden thud. "What!”

"That's why I think we need to find him. If he talks, Giovanni and the world will know who you really

are."

"Shit!" Grey cursed under his breath. "Find him! I need you to find him quickly!"

He still didn’t want to make his identity known to Giovanni, not yet. There was a lot to happen. Damn!

How could he make such a mistake? He could have listened to Alfred and allowed him on the ship.

"Don't worry, boss. I and Gregory will dispatch the men immediately in search of him. I’m sure we will

get him," he assured.

'The hideout," Grey said quickly. "The place where I was taken. Leo would definitely be there. Search

that place first."

"On it, Hercules. Thank you for the tip!" Alfred said and the line went off.

Grey looked at Caramel. "If Giovanni knows about his true identity, it wouldn't just be Caramel shivering

out, the others would, as well.
