Secretly The Billionaire Boss Chapter 470

Chapter 470: Changed

Within minutes, Grey was inside Avery’s room and gently placed her on the bed.

Two men came over to show him another door inside the suite so he wouldn’t have to pass the main

entrance and risk people looking at them weirdly.

Just as he pulled himself up, he realised that Avery was holding unto his clothes firmly.He looked at her

for a moment.

She was asleep while her right fist held the clothes in check.

“Don’t go,” she said softly as if she was somnambulating.

Grey didn’t know actually if that was the case or maybe she was just dreaming.

However, he secured a place beside her.It was getting even late now and he thought he would be on

the evening plane back to Ravello but that was no longer possible.

As long as he wanted to leave, there were several reasons why he shouldn’t.He just couldn’t leave

Avery in the state that she was in.

Even though Maximo was on his way, Grey felt he still had to stay behind.

Besides, he had to speak with her.

If he leave, Avery would call him out again.So, staying was the best option at least, till Avery wakes up.

A soft knock sounded on the door.

Grey reasoned it might be Maximo.He hesitated as he watched Avery for a moment before he slowly

pulled her hand away.He succeeded and Avery only stirred before she went back to sleep.He released

a sigh and went to the door.

Upon opening it, he realised it wasn’t Maximo but two of the maids in the hotel that he had called to

change Avery’s clothes.

“Good day, sir,” they greeted in unison.

Grey nodded and stepped aside for them to enter.

“Get down to work and inform me when you are done,” he spoke with authority in the air.

The maids bowed slightly and moved towards Avery.

Grey stepped out.He had no business inside anyways.

“Where is Avery?”

A voice entered his thoughts suddenly.

Grey looked up and realised it was Maximo.He released a sigh.

“She’s inside.I had the maids dress her up since she was soaked,” he explained.

Maximo regarded him for a moment.

“You are soaked as well.I think you should return home.”

“I will but I’m trying to buy time.Perhaps, Avery would wake up soon.So, we can talk.You do know that I

must return to Ravello as soon as possible and I wouldn’t even be here if you hadn’t made it

compulsory.”

Maximo grunted and seemed to swallow whatever words he had in his mouth at that moment.He

looked away for a moment as if he was currently cooking up things to say.

“What really happened? I don’t think any of my men in Italy would want to mess with me.Who could it

be then? I specifically instructed no one to touch Avery,” he explained.

Grey’s head snapped at him actually because of his last statement.

“You seemed to be so concerned about her welfare.I didn’t know you had specifically told your men to

step aside as if she’s the first lady,” he joked.

Maximo laughed.

“Come on, Grey.”

Grey watched his expression for a moment with a sly smile.

“ I think there’s something you are hiding from me.Isn’t there? “Grey, it’s nothing.”

Grey laughed shortly and looked away.

“It’s ok but I’m just here to tell her that I’m not interested in the job.I don’t want her to look for me again.I

would even like it if she returned to wherever she came from and if she didn’t _,” he shrugged briefly.

“Well, I’m returning to Jacksonville soon.So, it would be over.”

Maximo groaned inwardly.

“Can I ask you a question?”

Grey looked at him for a moment.

“Yes, what’s it all about?”

Maximo hesitated.

“How close were you guys? I mean you and Avery? I know you are married but it doesn’t look like you

had a good relationship judging by how you planned not to have anything to do with her again.”

Grey released a sigh.

“Nothing deep happened between us.Maybe we shared a kiss once or twice but that was it.We didn’t

go beyond that even though we were married.It was an arranged one anyway.So, what did I expect?”

Maximo smiled or so, Grey thought because it was gone as soon as it appeared.

Was he really pleased with his reply? “But,” Maximo hesitated and shook his head briefly.

* Anyways, who messed with her?”

“Giovanni’s men, the ones that came to Italy for us.”

Maximo gathered his forehead.

“I trust you will find a better solution to it because those guys must not return home to Jacksonville.”

Grey nodded once.

“I am already on it.But maybe you could stay with Avery and give me feedback whenever she wakes

up.”

Maximo shook his head briefly.

“It’s ok.I will leave you with it.Take care of things.I will just check on her tomorrow.”

Grey smiled briefly.

“Alright.”

“Alright.I will see you later, Grey,”

Maximo finished and started walking away.

Grey laughed at him for a moment.He didn’t need anyone to tell him that Maximo was slowly loving

Avery.

Well, it was none of his business.So, he didn’t care.

It took forever when the door opened finally and the maids walked out of the room.

Grey turned around to look at them.

“Sir, we are done.She’s awake as well and wants to speak with you.”

Grey nodded once and dipped inside his pocket for some notes of money.He extended it to the maids.

They took it with a smile and bowed severally before walking away.

Grey hesitated in front of Avery’s door as he contemplated if he should really enter the house or not.

“David_,” a soft voice called from inside the room.

The door opened almost immediately and Avery walked out.She regarded him for a moment.

“Aren’t you coming in?” Grey scoffed.

“I only came here to tell you that I have no interest in joining you.”

“And I planned to change your mind.”
