Secretly The Billionaire Boss

Chapter 568: part of me Grey woke up an hour later, feeling strengthened. NôvelDrama.Org owns all © content.

His phone beeped suddenly. He reached out to it. It was a message from Maximo.

He read the message and discovered it was the address of the hotel where Avery was staying.

And the fact that she lodged into the hotel that she lodged in when she was in Italy a few days back, amazed him.

A soft knock sounded on the door suddenly.

"Yes, who is there?" "It's Charles," the voice said, the door

opened and he walked inside.

"Are you still going out?" Grey nodded once. "I am. In fact, Maximo has sent me Avery's address." "And you want to meet her?" He was a bit shocked.

Grey made a nod of his head. "I told you everything, didn't I?" Charles released a sigh. "Of course you did but I don't think meeting her personally is the real solution. Besides, you did say you want her to forget about you. Seeing her would only remind her of who you are." Grey huffed. "But she doesn't even remember me. There's no way she would remember me if I met with her tonight."

Charles hesitated. "Isn't this the reason why you and Aphrodite aren't on talking terms? Don't tell me. you still love Avery." Grey looked at Charles. "What are you trying to insinuate?" "I mean to say Avery is your past now.

Aphrodite is your future, why don't you focus on that? Aphrodite could have been thinking you love Avery and plan to still get back to her," he explained. "And the question is do you still love Avery?" "And don't tell me you now hate Aphrodite. I mean she used to be someone you crush on, isn't fio Charles's expression changed slightly, forming a black scowl. "This is not what we are discussing."

"Oh, tell me!" Grey yelled in a deep voice. "That I'm supposed to hate the first woman I got married to?" Charles sighed. "That's definitely not what I mean. I'm so sorry, Grey. I just want you to be happy. And I also want Aphrodite to be happy." Grey released an exasperated sigh. "I know what I'm doing Charles. And like I told you, I and Novia are on good terms. I'm not going to make her sad and I love her but I can't deny my feelings for Avery. She was the first woman I got married to," he explained.

"And you still plan on having something to do with her?" "No, Charles. Avery doesn't remember me for Christ's sake. We've met several times in Jacksonville but she had no

faintest idea who I was. Nothing is going to change now. Since she doesn't remember me at all, it will all be over after today. That I assure you, from my side." Charles released a sigh. "Alright, I understand now and I'm very sorry. I just_," he hesitated and smiled. "I hope for the best for you, Grey. You know that I will always have your back." Grey smiled, with a short nod. "IT know, brother. I know you will always have my back just as I will always have you." Charles smiled. "Alright then. I wanted to tell you to come and have some steaks and pot roast. Aurora prepared them delicious." "Maybe when I'm back. I need to go

now before it gets dark." Charles nodded once. He understood everything now. "Alright, later then," he said and walked out of the room.

Grey went inside the bathroom for a quick bath. He selected casual wear of shorts and a T-shirt.

When he walked into the living room, Aurora and Charles were eating.

Charles said something and Aurora laughed.

Grey regarded them for a moment before he walked out of the room.

Within minutes, he was on the way to the hotel.

His phone beeped suddenly just as he moved towards the receptionist. It was

a message from Maximo.

Avery wasn't in her hotel room now.

She was at the hotel bar.

Grey took a turn towards the bar.

His heart nearly stopped when he saw a guy sitting in front of her and whispering some inaudible to her.

Grey advanced closer and when the man was about to touch Avery, Grey caught his hand.

The man shook slightly, shocked at Grey's interruption.

"Leave!" Grey muttered thickly.

The man cowered in fear and withdrew slowly.

Grey let him go and watched him walk away.

He turned to look at Avery.

"Avery, you shouldn't allow strangers to sit beside you like that," he rebuked.

Avery huffed. "And who are you to tell me that? Are you my boyfriend? Do I even know you?" She hesitated and looked up at him, her eyes growing small as she watched him. "No wait, I think I do. You are the guy that pretended to be my husband!" She laughed at the announcement.

Grey sighed. "You should go back inside." Avery ignored him and continued to laugh.

Grey reached to grab her but Avery fought back. "Let me go before I scream out for help!" She threatened.

Grey released an exasperated sigh but didn't let her go.

"I don't want to go! I sincerely don't want to!" She protested cutely. "I just want to keep drinking. I need to remember," she pouted.

Grey hesitated. "Remember what?" Avery went silent as if in a deep thought. "I need to remember everything. I mean, why can't I remember some things? It feels like someone stole my mind. I don't like how I feel!" She complained.

"Well, let's get you inside!"
