Chapter 347: A new plan
Grey stared for a moment unbelievably.
"Hello boss," Emily called suddenly and Grey jerked out of his thoughts.
"Yes, Emily. Is everything alright?"
"I was asking if I could come over to your place-," she demanded.
Grey didn't wait for her to finish what she was saying when he shook his head briefly. "It's ok. You can
do that. I will definitely call you later," he informed her.
Grey hung up and hurried towards the dog. At first, he thought he was asleep but when he looked and
checked closely, he realised he was dead.
And then, there was an empty plate beside it which meant that it was just done eating the food that he
got for it.
He squeezed his forehead in concentration. What was happening? Something was really going on.
Could the dog have died of food poison?
Something was still not going well and Grey found it difficult to think it through. If the dog had died after
taking the food, then it meant that it was poisoned. If it was, then who did? Caramel of course?
And then, he remembered what Alfred said about being careful of Caramel. What was really
happening? He didn't think anything could go wrong with Caramel at all. Caramel was his girlfriend and
he didn't think she could even betray him.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtYet, it was so disturbing.
One of the men standing watch in the front yard moved closer to him. "Hi, boss. Is anything wrong?"
Grey nodded once. 'The dog is dead, dispose of it."
The man looked shocked for a moment before he finally nodded.
Grey returned to the kitchen to get the dish done but on second thought, he thought of giving Caramel
the scare. Perhaps he would be able to know exactly what was really happening.
Well, the plan was very simple. In fact, Grey had done something similar earlier so it wasn't so
disturbing. What was disturbing him was the fact that he was going to be lying to Caramel and then,
moving away from her. Grey doesn’t want this but he had to do it at that moment because he wasn’t
even sure what the future holds for him anymore. He didn't even know what to think.
Well, he was sure that something actually happened to Caramel and Beatrice in Seattle and he needed
to find out sooner than later. Whatever must have happened but he must find it out.
He placed a call to Alfred as he walked out of the living room again and into the garage.
Alfred picked it up immediately. "Hi, boss."
"So, I have a plan right now. I mean something just happened and I would like to really know what is
really happening concerning Caramel. And you are going to work this out with me," he informed him.
Jimmy hurried out of nowhere with two men and they rushed towards the Car that Grey was against, as
he was still speaking with Alfred.
"I will be with you soon. And then we can discuss more about what this is all about."
"Alright Hercules, I will be going home now. So, you can just come over to my place."
Grey nodded once, well, still out of habit. "Alright, I will do that." He finished and hung up.
He looked at Jimmy. 'We are going to Alfred's house."
"Alright Boss," Jimmy nodded once and moved to the driver’s seat while one of the men took the
passenger's seat.
"Should I get a car and follow behind with other men?"
Grey regarded him for a moment before he shook his head briefly. "That's ok."
Within minutes, they were driving towards Alfred's house.
Suddenly, his phone started to ring. It was Caramel but he refused to pick it up. The plan has started
already anyways.
He remembered Emily and placed a call to her. She picked it up quickly as if she was already waiting
beside the phone for Grey.
"Hello, Emily. What did you say the other time?"
'Well, I thought I could come over to your place for any errand or something I could do for you."
'Well, not really but-," he pulled to a sudden stop. Maybe Emily can get into the plan to hasten things
up. "Do you know Alfred's house?"
"Yes, boss."
"Meet me there as soon as you can," he ordered.
"Alright Boss," there was this excitement in her tone before Grey hung up.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmSoon enough, they arrived at Alfred's house. When they pulled into the garage was when Alfred pulled
in as well.
Alfred hurried towards Grey. "Is everything alright? You wouldn't call to see me at this time if it wasn't
so urgent."
Grey nodded once. "It is really urgent. Caramel prepared lunch for me when I got home. And after you
called me to be careful, I decided not to eat it. I managed to avoid it and put her to sleep. And then
gave the dog the food. Now, my dog is dead."
Alfred hesitated. "What? Are you saying you might have been poisoned?"
Grey nodded briefly as they both walked inside the living room. "Now, I'm going to make sure that isn't
the case with my plan."
'Well, there's really something strange with Caramel. There's still something I can’t put my hands on,
just yet."
'Well, she really told me that Beatrice died three days ago. I sincerely don't think she's hiding anything,
at the same time, I'm equally confused. I don't know what to think anymore but I won't say she's totally
fine. She acted strange but I thought it could be what she had faced in Seattle."
Alfred nodded once as they sat. "So, what is the plan?"
"That I'm dead. I need to act as though I drove here after eating and the poison probably took its
course on my way. Caramel called me but I ignored it. So, I’m already in action,” he explained.
"So, how does she know you are dead? Am I supposed to inform her?"
Grey reasoned it for a moment before he shook his head briefly. "No, we don't need that. Eventually,
she would be the one to find out on her own.
