Secretly The Billionaire Boss

Chapter 507: The meeting

Giovanni, Alex, and his men got to Richard's house.He saw the corpses laying around and he went red with anger.

"Who the fuck did this?" He yelled.

"I will check around for anyone," one of the men told Giovanni and hurried inside with some of the men.

"Where's Richard? Find him!" Giovanni muttered.

Several men rushed inside again.

Giovanni entered the main lab room.His gaze searched around quickly before he rushed toward the table where several syringes were.He searched for the tablet but didn't see it.His mind made a sudden thud at the fact staring right at him.

Could the attacker have taken both Richard and the tablet? "What are you looking for, father?"

"The recipe.I mean no one would go for the recipe unless they know its usefulness.Asides, who would do something like that?"

"And are you sure it wasn't Richard? He could be trying to play smart with you.You did tell me he had been struggling with the steps.What if he had figured it out and had to stage this because he didn't want to submit the weapon to you?"

Giovanni looked at Alex for a moment as his explanation sank in.

What if Alex was right? He felt pained about it.He had initially made available a man to spy on Richard but had to withdraw again because he decided to trust him.

"You should look for him, father.Block all the entrances out of the country.He might try to flee or he might have decided to stay in Jacksonville till he's able to avoid you and your men."

Giovanni nodded once, his fist clenched beside him.

"I'm going to find him no matter what."

Avery placed a call to Grey again for the umpteenth time that day but it didn't go through.She thought that she was going to see him yesterday but he didn't show up.

Though, he promised her that he was going to see her soon.

Avery had waited for him.

Sometimes, she would stay at the bar in front of the suites but Grey never showed up.

Though, she understood that he was trying to hide since almost everyone thought he was dead.

Yet, she knew there could have been a way he could avoid these and still see her.It was late in the night again and Avery had lost hope that she was going to see Grey before the announcement day.

The announcement day was the next day.

In fact, she wasn't even sure she was going to see him on the announcement day.

Grey was Hercules. Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

Definitely, if he was showing up as Hercules, he wouldn't want people to see him.

Well, Avery didn't know his plan.

Clad in a pair of blue jean trousers and a pink hoodie, Avery walked out of her room.She decided to go to a bar or perhaps a club to drink and maybe think more about her life.She stopped suddenly when she felt someone behind her.

It felt as though she was being followed.She turned around to check but all she saw were people moving in and out of the suites, nothing suspicious.She walked inside the garage.

It was empty and eerily silent.

Because she once had a suspicious move behind her, everything now looked suspicious.novelebook.comShe shrugged it off and moved to her car as fast as she could.She opened the door and got inside.

"Hi," a thick voice said behind her suddenly.

Avery jerked back in fright.She looked back and saw it was Grey.She released a sigh.

"What! David!" She yelled.

Grey laughed.

"Were you scared?" Avery laughed too.

"You scared me! What kind of guy does that at night? You scared the wit out of me."

"Sorry about that.Actually, you made me come here.You said you wanted to see me.So, here I am."

Avery released a sigh.

"Thank you.Where should we go?" She asked excitedly.

"I have a place to be in less than two hours but we could go anywhere."

Avery smiled, started the ignition, and drove out of the garage.

"I thought I was never going to see you before the announcement day," Avery muttered.

"And why do you badly want to see me before then?"

Avery had the urge to say she missed him but she bit it back immediately.

"Well, I was going to discuss something important with you concerning my business," she said instead.

"What about it?"

"Why are you in such a hurry? You have an hour with me, don't you? Let's go to the club, drink something and then talk." Grey watched her for a moment.

"Why do you want to go to a club with me? And not a restaurant?"

"It’s late, isn't it? Clubs are fun places when it's late especially when it's Megaphone," she muttered and looked over at the front mirror to catch a glimpse of his expression.

It wasn't easy actually to see him as it was semi-dark but Avery was being patient.

There were going to be a lot of opportunities in the future.

Avery pulled to a stop in front of Megaphone Attitude and looked back at Grey.

"This is going to be the best time actually." Grey smiled and got down.

"Sure, it will," he moved to open the door for Avery.

"Get down, Avery.You seem to be ina nice mood."

"Of course," Avery laughed and got out.

They both walked inside and took a seat.

Grey beckoned the barman closer while Avery watched some of the people in the club.

The place wasn't crowded and the song playing in the background was low.So, it was easy for one person to hear another if they speak a little high.

"It looks like Giovanni is going to be this year's king of the world.It's a pity that Hercules is gone," a voice muttered.

Avery looked at Grey and watched his expression as he spoke to the barman.

Alex showed up from the front of the door, just as Grey dismissed the barman and looked at her.

Avery knew, that Alex and Grey were enemies.

Who doesn't? Especially after Alex's identity has been made known.Alex was the son of Giovanni while Grey was Hercules.
