Secretly The Billionaire Boss by Debbie chocolate

Chapter 359: Nice choice

Caramel couldn't stop thinking about what Grey told her. She knew it was possible. Well, Richard did

tell her that she used to be close to Grey. And well, Grey could have been lying about them dating.

What if Grey was lying about everything? What if there weren't even them in the first place? What if

Grey was just trying to use Caramel like Richard said he would?

If Beatrice didn't kill her mother, then who did?

After Grey walked out of her room, she had been thinking of a perfect way to escape Grey and she

found it eventually.

The men were talking about the party that Grey would be having the second night. It was the billionaire

party and well, almost everyone would attend. It was a perfect time for her to escape and maybe even

make sure she did what she had wanted to do initially with Grey.

She was going to try and kill Grey again and she was going to make sure she succeeded that time.

The car pulled to a stop suddenly beside the shore. The meeting was going to happen on the other

ship like the previous one because they didn't want anyone to disturb them.

Just as Grey and Aphrodite got down from the car, Alfred moved closer to Grey.

"I just received some messages from Jamal. He wants you guys to talk about the locations of the party.

Actually, it has been decided but he wants you to see the places. And don't forget that the party is

tomorrow evening," he revealed.

Grey reasoned it for a moment. "No problem. Just tell him to go ahead with it. I won't be available to

tour the place with him before the party."

"Yes, I think he's right," Aphrodite said quickly as she walked to stand beside Grey.

"I've been thinking about that as well. I just wanted to tell you about it," Alfred informed him. ’I will just

call Jamal and inform him of what you have said," he said with a smile, hesitating a bit before he

walked away.

Grey looked at Aphrodite with a little smile. "Can we?”

Aphrodite nodded briefly. "Of course, we can.'

They walked inside the ship hand in hand. There were a lot of men waiting already. Just as Grey and

Aphrodite entered, the ship started moving.

Grey and Aphrodite stepped inside the meeting hall. The men were having fun and chatting. There

were elderly seats at the front with a big chair for Grey. Grey's chair was one of the biggest and it was

designed in a way that it was possible for outsiders to know whose chair it was.

"Hercules is in," a deep voice announced suddenly. The men stood still immediately, and then slowly

parted ways for

Grey and Aphrodite to pass through.

Whenever Grey walked past them, they would bow in respect.

Grey hesitated, with a calmer expression on him. It felt good to be a boss anyways. He looked up at the

seats and realised that Charles was present. A smile escaped him at this. He was so glad that Charles

was alive.

"Is everything alright?" Aphrodite asked, with confused brows raised at him.

Grey nodded once. "Let's go," he stressed and they both walked to their seats. He looked back at

Charles and sent him a smile.

Charles reciprocated it. He was so happy anyways that Grey doesn't hate his father and he wasn't

going to kill him either. He might want to punish him but even showing him in the meeting shows that

he wasn't going to abandon him. That was enough for him, even though his father was going to suffer

humiliation for the things he had done. Well, it was for the best.

"Leo should enter. Hercules would decide his punishment,' one of the men announced suddenly

Leo was led inside by two men. All the men looked over at him as if they couldn't believe their eyes.

Everyone really thought that Leo was dead.

Alfred looked at Grey. "Hercules will announce his crimes and the punishment he would like to mete out

to him."

Grey looked at Alfred and made a nod of the head before he stood. "Leo's offence was a terrible one,"

he started.

Everywhere went silent, as they all concentrated on Grey.

Grey had been thinking a lot about it. He forgave Leo already and well, he didn't want to make things

more complicated for him and not for Charles as well.

The meeting had to happen for Leo's sake or the members of the mafia group wouldn't know that he

was alive.

But then knowing he would have to explain what he did wasn't going well with him. Though he owed no

one any explanation, he wanted to make it look natural.

"Leo abandoned me for years. He was alive but he couldn't show up as he was battling a serious

illness. This is his offence," he announced much to the elders' surprise.

Leo was more than shocked. He hadn't expected Grey to say something like that and he made her feel

more regrets at what he did years back.

"For this reason, Leo will try to earn his position by staying as a member for four good meeting days.’

Well, that was the worst punishment to receive as an elder but to Leo, it was the best. He couldn't hide

the tears at the fact that Grey was even treating him so nicely. He didn't deserve it anyways.

"But he will be recognized as part of the elders and when he's done with his punishment, he will be

claimed back as one."

The men went on one knee in response as they chanted, then went up again all at the same time.

Leo wept as he was taken away. He couldn't stop looking at Grey and wondering how he could take

after his father with a good heart.

"Thank you. Grey,’ Aphrodite whispered beside him, a smile on her face.

When Grey looked at the other members, he noted the satisfied expression on their faces. They were

all so happy at his judgement.

He was just like his father_no, he was better than his father.
