Chapter 401: A change
Alfred hesitated, with worry written all over his face.He entered the living room and let out another
sigh.He had been expecting a call from the men he sent to Italy but all to no avail.
Something had happened and he could feel it.
If James really needed Grey, why then hasn’t he sent back his men? Or could James have been dead?
That was the only explanation available.
If James was dead, the mafia bosses would have taken over and anyone who asked about the dead
Mafia boss would be seen as though he or she was working for him.
They could kidnap or kill them as a result of it.He didn’t want to inform Grey about it just yet until he
was sure of everything.
So, he might need to send more men.He needed to ascertain the situation before he informed Grey.
The door opened suddenly and one of Alfred’s men walked inside.thuy He bowed slightly.
“Here I am, sir.” Alfred looked up at him.
“Get some men, you need to do something for me in Italy.”
The man nodded briefly.
“I will do that,” he responded before he walked out of the room.
Grey finally fell asleep and Aphrodite was able to leave his room.Grey wouldn’t allow her to sleep with
him anyways.
And though he didn’t ask for it, she felt like staying with him.
She heard the clash of pots and moved toward the kitchen.She regarded Emily for a moment as she
moved to and fro while cooking something she couldn’t see because of the position of her body.

Emily jerked out in fear, and the plate she was holding dropped to the floor and shattered into
pieces.She gasped and looked at Aphrodite.
“You scared me,” she muttered.
“Well, I asked you a question and you should answer.I don’t like when someone keeps me waiting.”
She yelled.
Emily released a sigh.
“I just wanted to prepare something for the boss.He hasn’t eaten anything since morning and might
request some food when he finally wakes up,” she explained.
Aphrodite felt a stab of annoyance.She crossed her arms over her chest as she watched Emily.
“Are you kidding me? Cooking? Under whose permission?”
“I work for Hercules and I don’t think I need that kind of explanation,” she shrugged slightly.
Aphrodite fumed with rage.
“Are you talking back to me?” She chuckled.
“You know what, just dump all you’ve done and get out.You are not allowed to this house until Hercules
calls you,” she ordered.
Emily released a sigh between her clenched teeth.She didn’t want to do what she had in mind.
Even though she hated Aphrodite, she couldn’t disobey her.
Aside from the fact that she’s popular, she’s also adored by Hercules and she didn’t want to get on
Grey’s bad side.Emily took a short bow.
“I will do that immediately,” she responded and turned to pack the plates and other ingredients.
Aphrodite moved closer to her.
“What were you planning on doing by the way? You shouldn’t even be so close to him.You are
nobody.So, don’t get too comfortable, alright?”
Emily stopped to give her a reply, a scowl at the back of her head.She bowed again before she
eventually walked out.
Aphrodite released a sigh.She could no longer trust anyone with Grey.She moved to prepare
something for herself and Grey.
Maybe, just Maybe he would wake up and eat.
“Don’t tell me you were planning on cooking when you could have ordered,” a deep voice said from
behind her, startling her for a moment. She turned to look at Grey and released a sigh.
“I didn’t know you would wake up anytime soon.”
“Yes, I had a lot to process in my mind.I kept thinking of Jimmy.I can’t keep his corpse like that.I have to
do something very fast about it.” Aphrodite nodded briefly.
“You must be hungry, I will order something then since cooking will take a while.” Grey nodded once.
“I have decided to give Jimmy a befitting burial.The corpses would be exchanged so that it would look
like the corpse that they claim to be Jimmy will really be Jimmy.”
“Are we going to retrieve that as well? Or just let everyone know that you are still alive?”
“I’m going to let everyone know that I am alive but before that, I need to attend Jimmy’s burial
unnoticed. I don’t want the situation whereby Jimmy’s family would be in trouble because of me,”he
explained and smiled at Aphrodite.
“Thank you for staying.I think I’m ready to eat now.You can order while I call Alfred.There’s something I
need to ask from him.”
Aphrodite nodded briefly, a bit shocked at Grey’s new display of behavior.She hadn’t expected him to

surprised.
Grey changed so quickly.
Giovanni was right and Grey couldn’t stop thinking about it.
Actually, Grey pretended to be asleep but he wasn’t.
Instead, he was thinking of what to do.But he wasn’t supposed to mourn Jimmy forever even though
he’s still unable to forgive himself for causing his death.
But he needed to sit up and make sure that none of the people he loves die again.He hasn’t been able
to think of what to do to Giovanni but he would definitely be giving Giovanni a shock.He knew however
that Giovanni would definitely make some moves that he wasn’t supposed to make, thinking Grey was
dead.
And seeing Grey alive afterward would be a shock to him.He went back to his room for his phone and
dialled Alfred’s number.
Alfred picked it up immediately.
“Hello Grey, I thought you’d slept already.”
“No, actually, I have something to discuss with you.Are you busy?”
“No actually.I had some things to do.Actually, I was going to hide it from you but something is going on
in Italy that I can figure out.” Grey gathered his brows.
“What happened?”
“I can’t get across to the men I sent to Italy.So, I just sent another.So, I just feel-,” he pulled to a sudden
stop and hesitated.
“What!” he exclaimed softly and Grey had a feeling it was directed at him.
“What happened, Alfred?”
“The president of the Italian shoe company has changed,” he revealed
