Secretly The Billionaire Boss by Debbie chocolate

Chapter 386: Narrow escape

Some of the people inside rushed out of the room at once.

"Giovanni planned this. He tricked US," Grey muttered.

Aphrodite looked at Grey. "What!" She was more than shocked because she didn't even know that

Grey had a plan in place already.

She did know that he was going to do something but she had forgotten to ask him. That aside, no one

followed them inside. So, she thought it was the end already.

Giovanni looked at Grey with a dirty smirk on his face.

The people were still trying to get out while there were a few men on the floor.

Giovanni wasn't even concentrating on them as he walked out from the confines of the chairs.

A bullet was suddenly being pointed at Grey from behind." Get up and move out from where you are,”

the strange voice ordered.

"What should we do?' Aphrodite asked anxiously as fear set in.

Grey stood without a word, a smile on his face. "You amaze me, Giovanni."

"Remove your mask!" Giovanni ignored his remark and instead yelled at him. He wanted to see that it

was really Grey. Anyone could put on the mask and pretend to be Grey. He needed to be sure.

Grey chuckled inwardly. "Alright, I will," his hand slowly travelled to his face. He hesitated for a moment

before he pulled it slowly. When the mask would almost leave his face, he was fast and threw it right at

where the auctioneer used to be.

The men followed the path of the mask. It was only Giovanni that didn't waiver.

During the state of confusion, the men lying on the floor stood up and pointed their guns at Giovanni

and his men.

Just before Giovanni's men would look at Grey again, Jimmy threw a nose mask at him. Grey caught it

and bent to fix it on himself.

He kicked the one holding the gun against him by the leg. He punched his face and took the gun before

he took it up again. He was so fast.

Giovanni's eyes went wide with shock as he looked at the men. "What the fuck are you doing?" He

yelled with frustration. Grey had ridiculed him everywhere and he got the perfect plan to pay him back.

Giovanni was the one that spread the news about the Auction. He knew he was going to show up.

Though, at first, when he didn't see him, he thought his plan had failed.

But he didn't lose all the same. No one was allowed to bid whenever he was in the hall. So, if Grey

hadn't shown up, he wouldn't have lost anything.

And when he saw him, he was sure that his plan would work perfectly. How could it fail?

"Your men are with guns, my men are with guns as well. If we start shooting, we will both get injured.

But we can both call it quit, but that depends on what you want," Grey voiced out.

Grey would have loved to kill Giovanni but it was going to affect him there. So, it was better he

postponed the death day of Giovanni.

Giovanni regarded him for a moment with an icy stare. 'I will pull back."

No one has ever been so desperate as Giovanni. He desperately wanted to kill Grey but there was

nothing he could do at that moment.

"I will leave first," Grey announced. He couldn't let Giovanni leave first or he might plan the unthinkable

before he would be able to go out.

Grey looked at Charles and signalled for them to move closer. They all moved out from the ring of

guns. Two guards followed them while still making sure the gun was still raised at Giovanni in case they

suddenly changed their minds.

And like that, Grey's men moved out until it was only Giovanni and Giovanni's men in the hall.

Jimmy and the men brought two cars. Jimmy hurried to Grey's car to drive it. Charles sat on the

passenger side while Grey and Caramel sat in the back seat. 3

They soon drove out of the vicinity.

"That was close," Aphrodite muttered.

Grey smiled. "It seems like I've eventually annoyed Giovanni. He would be thinking of how to deal with

me now."

Charles laughed. "Tonight was a bit fun. I love the look of surprise on Giovanni's face when he

discovered that we actually came prepared for him." 1

Aphrodite let out a sigh. "I don't think it's the right time to laugh. This is very important but you are here

laughing."

Charles shrugged slightly. "What am I supposed to do? Just don't let Giovanni ruin your night."

Aphrodite stared out into the dark street. "I'm tired. I just want to sleep at this moment but Grey," she

looked at Grey. "You have to promise not to go to any auction ever again. It's so dangerous," she

stressed in a worried- filled tone.

"There's no way I can stop doing that but I promise to be more careful," he promised her instead.

"We should tell Alfred about it. He should know that Giovanni has grown desperate. Maybe there can

be a plan to use that against him," Charles suggested.

Grey nodded once. "You should tell him. Oh, that reminds me," he looked at Charles. 'I want you to

stop Seth from shopping at any of my stores ever again.

Charles nodded briefly. "Alright, boss.'

Smith has been working overnight. He was busy thinking of the brands they should spend money on.

Since they had little money on them, and would still need to take a loan from the bank, he decided it

was best to focus on some specific designers.

"So, I've decided we should focus on Gucci and Louis Vuitton. These two are very popular brands. If

Maria sees this. I'm sure she would be impressed," Smith explained.

Seth nodded in agreement. "I support that. Let's do that then.'

"Also, I've compiled a list of things we will have to buy to make this company presentable. And looking

at it, we will have to borrow a lot of money. I hope we can be able to do that."

Seth sighed. "I have a limitation on the amount I can borrow."

Smith thought for a moment. ’I think I can also take loans from the bank."
