Chapter 566: A call from Novia Grey nodded once. "it's ok. We can't hide it forever anyway. He was deemed to find out sooner or later. Keep me updated on whatever happens next." "Yes boss," Jason responded and the line went off.
Grey released a sigh and moved closer to Maria again.
"And so," the MC was saying, with a wide smile on his face. "I'm going to call the celebrant on stage to say one or two things. Then, the party will proceed," he muttered, stopping briefly to laugh. "And that goes to Grey Fox!" announced.
A round of applause filled everywhere
as Grey and Maria ascended the stairs.
"Thank you so very much for honouring me," Grey started, with a smile on his face.
Everyone applauded him again and it lasted for a few minutes.
"Thank you!" Grey smiled again.
"Protos Pubblicita is a company _," he started and everyone gave him a listening ear. "That's currently ranking one in the city and among the top ten in the world. Our main mission is to make sure it doesn't leave its position in the city and it moves even higher in the world. This is my mission!" Everyone applauded him again as he descended the stairs.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtMaria walked closer to him, with a build man behind her. "I want you to meet, Mr Lawrence, one of our recent business partners from the Africa continent," she introduced.
Lawrence looked at Grey, with a smile.
"It's my pleasure meeting you." "Thank you. I hope you enjoy your stay in Jacksonville." Lawrence nodded once. "I will be at your office tomorrow. Maybe we can talk more." "Oh no," Grey muttered with disappointment. "I won't be around by tomorrow. I'm going somewhere, on a business trip but Maria will attend to you or we can see some other time," he uttered.
Lawrence nodded again. "Thank
you." Grey's phone rang suddenly. It was ’ Charles. So He picked it up. "Hello Charles, how is the preparation going?" "We will leave in less than two hours. I hope you are rounding things up already?" "Yes, I'm almost done here," Grey announced. "I will be out of here in an hour," he assured and hung up.
"Twill be out of here in an hour. So, if this party doesn't end by then, you will have to finish it up." Maria nodded once. "No problem boss." The rest of the party went on, but Grey wasn't really interested in it. His mind
was actually on Avery.
In the next hour, Mark was driving towards the airport while Charles was coming behind them, with Aurora and a few boys that would protect Grey in Italy.
While they were entering the plane, Charles turned to Grey.
"Are you alright? You seem a bit moody. Is everything alright?" Grey nodded once and stepped inside.
He sat on one of the chairs and looked up at Charles again.
"Avery is in Italy." Charles nodded once like it was no big deal.
Of course, it wasn't. It only shows that Avery had moved on. That was what
they all wanted anyway.
"So, is anything the matter? Because I find nothing wrong with Avery going back to Italy," Charles muttered, with fewer worries.
Grey released a sigh. "Yes, there is nothing wrong with her visiting Italy but she seems to be causing trouble there. Maybe it was because we've once worked together. I mean would she even remember that if she doesn't know who I am?" "Well, unless she's pretending," Charles shrugged briefly. "Or maybe she was just worried about the fact that she couldn't remember who she was working with when she was in Italy." Grey regarded him for a moment. "1 don't believe that she could pretend.
Besides, the doctor was the one who broke the news to me. He wouldn't lie to me," he assured. .
Charles released a sigh. "You and Aphrodite, do you want us to talk about it?" Grey smiled softly. "We are fine, Charles. I'm sure we will definitely settle soon. Besides, we just not talking to ourselves for a while. It doesn't mean that we are fighting or anything." Charles nodded once. "No problem but you should be assured that I can come in at any time. Besides, we are all friends. I don't think it will be difficult to settle any dispute among us," he explained.
Grey nodded once. "I understand, Charles, and thank you," he muttered,
resting his head on the chair and closing his eyes. For a moment, his mind went towards no place in particular. "Oh, lest I forget, Jason called me early when I was still at the party. The first hearing is tomorrow.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmBesides, Giovanni now knows Alex's condition." Charles nodded once. "I'm sure Gregory will think of something before we get back." Grey nodded once. "Alright, I will be expecting. When I arrive, I will visit Alex. There's something I like to tell him." One of the hostesses moved closer with a bottle of wine and glass cups.
Grey didn't request any wine. Instead, he closed his eyes and fell into a deep slumber. :
"We have arrived," a familiar voice said suddenly.
Grey opened his eyes and looked at Charles.
"We are in Italy," He repeated.
Grey nodded once and walked out of the plane.
Three cars were already parked and waiting for them with a few of his men.
His phone rang suddenly. He took it and glanced at the screen. It was Aphrodite.
For a moment, he was filled with different emotions.
He and Aphrodite hadn't talked for a while and even though they weren't fighting like he had explained to
Charles earlier, it still felt somehow.
Could something have happened in Jacksonville? Or at Protos Pubblicita? Could plans have gone wry?
