Chapter 174: Lies Grey saw as his expression changed from the lively one to a darker one. He didn’t
know what had happened or perhaps he did something wrong
Just as he opened his mouth to also, Alex returned.
“Yes, so he’s coming with it,” Alex announced excitedly. Caramel got up suddenly.” I think I will be leaving
now.”
Grey gathered his brows. “Wait, what? We just got here.” Caramel shrugged slightly. “I just remembered
what I was supposed to do that I haven’t done. So, let’s call it a night.”
Alex’s face fell.” Seriously? I ordered something for you already.”
Caramel smiled faintly.” Let’s hang out some other day Oh, I’m coming over to your place tomorrow. Let’s
talk by then. I’m kind of tired already,” she explained, even though that wasn’t what happened to her.
Well, it wasn’t entirely a lie anyways. Caramel really felt tired after the question that Grey asked her
Her expectations just failed her. If Grey wouldn’t even look towards her and instead seek refuge at the
Escorts. Then, what was she expecting? Perhaps that was how he was.
Grey was currently rich to take more escorts. Maybe that was why he was asking
“Alright then. No problem,” Alex muttered.
Grey stood up. “I will walk you outside then,” he announced but Caramel didn’t wait for him before she
headed outside. He looked down at Alex. “I will be back.” Alex nodded once. “Alright. Thankfully, your
orders would be here by then.” Grey nodded briefly at him.” Alright, thanks,” and he hurried after

just as Caramel entered the car, was when Grey was able to move closer to the car. “Hi Caramel. Are
you sure everything is alright? Or have l offended you in any way?”
Caramel held a straight face and shook her head.” Not at all. It’s as I have told you earlier,” she lied.
Grey nodded briefly.” No problem then. I wi call you tomorrow then.” Caramel nodded and drove off.
Grey watched the car for a moment until it was out of sight Grey couldn’t stop thinkdng something was
wrong with Caramel. It felt like something touched her nerve cell but he couldn’t figure it out.
He had the whole night to himself anyways. Initially, he had wanted to be alone until Caramel came.
Though he wouldn’i be lonely as Alex was around maybe Alex would be useful and his coming to Atomic
Liquors won’t be in vain.
He walked back inside and saw that the orders had arrived already. He smiled and sat in front of Alex
“How are you doing?” Alex inquired again as he sipped the champagne Grey took a bottle of champagne
and poured himself some. “I’m fine. Though, I planned on coming to the gym tomorrow. I and Caramel.”
“I thought you were going to come today.” Grey sighed. “it’s just as you have said. Sometimes the
workload would be too much. But I would always schedule it starting from next week I’m also thinking of
getting some muscle builder device.”
“Seriously?” Alex laughed.” You really want to take this very seriously.”
Grey nodded, tiredly.” I need to find myself,” and he laughed. Though, somehow, it wasn’t a lie. Grey was
totally out of shape and he wanted to train himself to be back, while also finding a way to be back as the
Hercules for all to see.
“So, do you come here every day?” Alex nodded quickly. “I come here every day unless on some
occasion. And it’s always very rare. Atomic Liquors is very fun to be.”
Grey nodded at the statement, even though he didn’t know Alex’s reason for the statement But since he
was currently in Atomic Liquors, he needed to act as though he loved it.
So, he wouldn’t be like James that was badmouthing Giovanni in one of his bars. If it wasn’t for Grey, he
might be dead. “So, you love Atomic Liquors too?” Alex asked, excitedly. It almost looked like he was
drunk but Grey knew that he wasn’t. It instead looked like he was trying to be free with Grey, Well, people
always have two characters to theinselves. The business or the serious one, and the funny side. “Very
much. I love the atmosphere and most especially, I love Giovanni and his son.” Grey saw the tightening
in his eyes at the proclamation It was what he must do anyways.
“But, I really want to ask you something, Can I go ahead?” Alex nodded briefly. “Anything.” “Do you know
who Pablo is?”
Alex’s face suddenly enveloped into a dark frown.” Why are you asking?” “Well, I heard he deals with
Escorts and I’m somehow in need of them.”
Alex smiled suddenly.” You don’t need to find Pablo before you would arrange an escort for yoursell,” he
informed.
Grey cleared his throat meaningfully,”I’m new in things like this but I seriously need them.” Alex watched
him for a moment and suddenly burst Into laughter.” Sincerely?”
Grey pretentiously searched around quickly. “Common, I don’t want anyone to think I’m incapable, im just
new to the system.”
Alex nodded once, as he tried to stop laughing. He failed and burst out laughing again.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmGrey relaxed in his chair as he watched him. It felt like he was on the right track. Though, he didn’t know
how he was supposed to proceed.
“But u thought you and Caramel are a thing,” he said eventually.
Grey shook his head quickly. “No, not at all,” he denied quickly. “Caramel doesn’t love me and she would
never do.” Alex became sober suddenly.” Are you sure about that? You should be sure before you make
the statement.”
Grey gathered his brows at him.” Why would you even think that way?”
Alex smiled again, a mischievous one this time. “Don’t tell me you are so clueless and you didn’t notice
the way she looks at you?”
It was Grey’s turn to laugh. He laughed so hard that his crib nearly crack “That’s not even possible.”
Alex shrugged slightly.” If you say so. But, for the other one, I can help you out.” Grey regarded him for a
moment. “So, I can’t see Pablo?”
Alex raised a brow.” You want to see him? I thought you only want to know how the escort works.”
Grey nodded briefly.” Yes but I also want to work with Pablo. If I could be his second-in
command, I would be happy.”
Alex was confused. ” What do you mean?”
Grey smited softly. “Pablo is my mentor. And there’s nothing greater than working with one’s mentor. I
want to work with Pablo. I can do anything for him, especially being his errand boy but if he makes me
the second-in-command, he would never regret it.
