Secretly The Billionaire Boss by Debbie chocolate

Chapter 343: Strange

"I don't know, Alfred. I hope that won't be the case here but let's see how it goes then. That will

determine how it would all go," Grey said truthfully.

Alfred signed.

"I understand.I will give you a call later then," he finished and the phone went off.

Grey regarded the phone for a moment.

What just what if she really had aborted it? Grey didn't want to think about it but he couldn't stop

himself from going back to the question and trying to find answers to his questions.

The sudden knock on the door jerked him out of his mind.

He looked back, remembering that Aphrodite was at home.

"Come down quickly, Grey. The food is ready. You should come down before it gets cold," she advised.

Grey nodded once.

"I will be there soon," he affirmed and hurried to have a quick bath.

It didn't take long before he was done.

Clad in black trousers and a brown t-shirt, he grabbed his phone and walked downstairs.

Aphrodite was eating when he joined her.

"You couldn't even wait for me." Aphrodite smiled.

"I'm starving. Besides, I needed something to stop me from thinking."

Grey sat in front of her.

"Thinking? About what?"

Aphrodite looked up at him for a moment.

"Are you really scared of it? I mean it's palpably clear that Caramel would do something like that. She

has been feeling quite uneasy after she discovered who you really are," she muttered and continued

eating.

Grey stared at her for a moment, shocked.

"You heard everything?"

Aphrodite didn't look up again as she nodded briefly.

"Actually, I was only able to hear your voice and not what Alfred told you. And I heard you talking about

your baby."

Grey let out an exasperated sigh.

"How did you know she was feeling uneasy after I showed her who I really am?" Aphrodite smiled

softly.

"There's a lot I know that you don't.All I can say is that Caramel doesn't love the real you, she loved the

old you and there's no way you would be able to make her change her mind."

Grey watched her for a moment, still wondering what she was really talking about.

Was Caramel not supposed to be happy that he was powerful? And was rich? At least he wouldn't be

disgraced because he was poor.

Why would she not love the new him? Does she expect him to be useless forever? It was a few

minutes past 3 when Grey arrived at Victoria Skincare to discuss things with Linda.

"So, the first thing I want us to discuss is how to make it known that Hercules owns Victoria Skincare,"

Grey started.

Linda nodded once.

"I understand.It's very easy. We would just change some things and we would be fine.I will get you the

file of all we need before I proceed."

It's known that Grey owns Victoria Skincare.

But after the declaration, Grey had to change his name from Grey to Hercules.

Well, it all belongs to him whatever anyone says.

Grey nodded once.

"I will be expecting. How is Emily?" Linda tensed.

"What? Emily?"

Grey watched her weird action for a moment.

"Are you alright?"

Linda seemed to have swallowed hard.

"I'm fine but she resigned already." Grey gathered his forehead.

"Why? Did something happen?" Linda shrugged slightly.

"I don't know. We never know what these young children want. Maybe she was overworking herself

and decided to give it a rest," she muttered.

Grey nodded once.

"That's ok.I will take my leave now. Get back to me concerning that.Also, I think it's time for you to

employ more workers like you've wanted to do months back." Linda smiled brightly.

"I will prepare for that as well. Thank you so very much, boss." Grey flashed her a nice smile.

"You are welcome." His phone rang suddenly.He got inside his car before he picked it up.

"Should we move, Jimmy questioned the boss?"

Grey nodded briefly.

"Yes, Alfred.Is anything wrong?"

"We found Beatrice," he announced without any formality.

Though what he said was a piece of good news, there was something about the stiffness in his voice

that bothers him.

Nevertheless, Grey felt a surge of happiness at the announcement.

At least, finding Beatrice means he would be able to see Caramel.

That aside, she would be able to clear the doubt in the air.

"So, have you spoken to her? What did she say about Caramel and the baby? Also, have you been

able to get across to Caramel?" He badgered him.

Alfred waited patiently for him to ask his questions.

"Well, there's a problem, Grey."

Grey's heart made a sudden thud. Has Caramel really aborted the baby? He closed his eyes for a

moment.

"What's it?" There was hesitation.

"Grey, I want you to stay calm for this."

Grey's heart sank in anticipation.

It was something bad, very bad if Alfred was talking like he was. But what could it be? There was

nothing worse than losing his first heir or heiress. It was probably that.

"Beatrice is dead!"

Grey zoomed out for a moment.It almost looked like he stopped breathing or perhaps he was suddenly

floating in space.

The noises around him became even much less concentrated.

"What did you just say?"

"Beatrice is dead and we can't find Caramel,"

Alfred repeated, with the same stiffness that Grey had noticed earlier.

Grey's hand squeezed even tighter around the phone, while his other fist clenched involuntarily beside

him.

"Who did it!" He yelled in anger.

"I have no idea, Hercules.But my men are still looking.I will let you know the moment I see anything,"

he assured.

Grey found himself shivering slightly. He couldn't believe that Beatrice could die in such a way as she

had.

And the fact that Caramel was missing was almost running him mad.

"Continue looking but if I don't see anything by today, I would have to go to Seattle." He swore with

bitterness.

"Alright," Alfred finished and the line went off.

"Boss, is everything alright?"

Jimmy demanded but Grey was too bitter to respond.

His phone rang again. He hesitated until he took the phone and realized it was Maria.

"Hello, Boss. There's someone here to see you. She said she's Caramel.
