Secretly The Billionaire Boss by Debbie chocolate

Chapter 224: Hide

Caramel woke up to the sudden knock on the door. She opened her eyes slowly, as she tried to focus

on something or where she was.

The door opened suddenly, startling her for a moment because she had a blanket over her body and it

felt like she was naked beneath.

“Grey,” the voice stopped suddenly and that was when the puzzles filled themselves into places.

Grey asked her out and well, she accepted. It was what she had been waiting for anyways. She loved

Grey like the air that she breathed.

“Violet!” Beatrice called and moved towards her. She had this wide smile plastered on her face.

Caramel wasn’t actually expecting her to be happy that she met her daughter naked in a man’s bed.

“What happened here? Are you dating Grey already”

Caramel stared, dumbfounded. She didn’t know if she was supposed to say a negative or positive

answer. “Somehow. Where’s Grey?”

“He went for his morning exercise. He will be back soon but you need to tell me if something is really

happening between you two. Grey is a nice man to date or even marry,” she uttered.

Caramel felt shocked again.” Do you think he likes me?”

Beatrice laughed. ” Grey loves you. I’ve seen the way he looks at you or the way he reacts whenever

you are in trouble. I don’t believe a man would love more than that,” she explained.

Caramel felt a surge of happiness. She smiled softly. “Yes, he asked me out and I responded but I

merely thought he was under pressure,” she went back to being doubtful. She believed she did wrong

for responding the night before or the fact that she decided to come to the house after she met with

Richard.

Beatrice shook her head briefly and stood. “Grey isn’t that kind of man. He thinks very deeply before he

makes a decision. It doesn’t matter if he’s angry or sad. Whatever he says has been something he had

thought deeply about before he uttered it. He’s a great man. I’m making breakfast, you can join me

downstairs when you are done cleaning up,” she informed and walked out of the room.

Caramel laid back on the bed, deep in thought as to what Beatrice had told her Beatrice seemed to

know Grey, even more than she does. If she could say something so good about Grey, then it was

nothing but the truth.

Well, she had that intrusiveness that Grey was a nice man. Poor or not, he was a very good man.

But she couldn’t believe she had sex with him the night before or the fact that they were now in a

relationship

Grey walked inside and regarded Beatrice for a moment, realizing what he and Caramel did the night

before.

Well, he loved Caramel even though it took him so long to admit it due to some circumstances.

surrounding their meetings.

“Grey?” Beatrice called suddenly, jerking Grey out of his thoughts. “You are back and well, your color

looks so good”

Grey smiled and moved even nearer. Have you seen Caramel?”

Beatrice held a shocked look. “Caramel? Was she in the house? I only went to check your room but

couldn’t find you” She teased.

Grey’s smile slowly evolved into a frown.” Did she leave?”

Beatrice suddenly smiled. “She’s in your room. I spoke to her not quite long,” she responded and

turned around to continue chopping the vegetables.

Grey laughed wholeheartedly. “Did you just play me?”

Beatrice chuckled. “I can do that as your mother.”

“No, there’s no way you can be my mother and still be Caramel’s mother because we are currently in a

relationship,” he revealed.

Beatrice smiled at this, feeling pleased. “Well, that makes me your mother. I’m your mother-in-law,” she

turned to look at him and saw the shock on his face.

“You aren’t shocked or angry?”

“Why should I be? Have you forgotten this is what I initially wanted? I can’t believe you’ve been hiding

your feelings all this while, why?”

Grey looked away. There’s something I didn’t tell you initially. It’s about the woman I married She used

to be Caramel’s friend,” he looked up again.” That’s what has been pulling me back.”

Beatrice regarded him for a moment. “What changed your mind?”

Grey clenched his teeth. “Because I will not let anyone have Caramel. It can only be me and me alone.”

She smiled. “Maybe you need to be ready to focus on some other things. Some things are best left

uncared for.”

Grey frowned. He didn’t need to ask questions because he knew what she was talking about. Though

what Caramel actually told him the night before seemed to have settled in his heart and he had started

to

think of what to do

“I’m going inside. I will talk to you later,” he said and turned around only to see Caramel walk out to

view. She was in a black dress, one that he got for her.

“We have a date today, Grey. You can’t go anywhere.”

Grey smiled and moved closer to kiss her on the forehead. “Where do you want us to go?”

“Actually, I need to tell you something about Hercules. Can I make a reservation in any restaurant of

my

choice?”

Grey nodded briefly. “Sure.”

Caramel smiled “Be ready by 12. Then you can leave for anywhere when we are done. We will be done

by

two.”

Grey pulled at her cheeks softly,” you look beautiful when you smile.”

“Are you guys going to eat or not? Beatrice interrupted playfully.

They both laughed.

“I will be back I just need to shower,” he excused himself and went up the stairs.

Smith threw the magazine in front of Avery

She took it and read through the headlines. There were different topics but they all seem to be

associated with Hercules.

‘Hercules is the wealthiest man’.

‘Hercules danced with two damsels’.

‘Excellent carpet entry goes to Hercules’.

‘Hercules, the best Billionaire president’.

Avery looked up at Smith, with confused brows. “What does this have to do with me?”

“A lot!” Emma said suddenly. I’m going to agree with Smith on this one! Hercules danced with your two

friends. In fact, he walked Chloe out and who knows where they went? But you were at home, doing

nothing!” She yelled in anger.

Avery sighed.” Mom, I don’t understand what you are so angry about.”

“If you had followed us, Hercules might have taken interest in you, instead of your friends.”

“Yes,” Emma chimed in. ” You are quite more beautiful than your two friends. Who knows, I might be

the mother-in-law to the wealthiest man in the city.”

“Mom! I’m not ready for your complaint this morning!” She took the magazine and entered her room.

She could hear her mom still talking but she decided to turn a deaf ear to it.

She stared down at the magazine again and her heart made a sudden thud. It was true that her friend

danced with Hercules but why was that so?

Grey was an employee at Protos Pubblicita. Could he be
