Secretly The Billionaire Boss by Debbie chocolate

Chapter 348: Pretending

"But why would Caramel want to kill you?" Alfred was still shocked. "I thought she used to protect you. I

mean she used to love you and would do anything to make sure you are alright?"

Grey nodded once. "Yes, she used to be like that. And like you've said, something must have

happened. There's no way Caramel would want to kill me," he let out a sigh. "I'm starving. Is there

something in your kitchen?"

Alfred smiled. "I will just tell Ann to make something for you. What would you like to eat?"

"Anything, Alfred. Emily will be here soon. I need her in this plan." he informed him.

Alfred nodded once and walked inside.

Grey relaxed, his head was calculating quickly. He wondered what Caramel was doing at that moment

or what she was currently thinking.

He loved her so much and didn't think he would be able to hurt her even if all she wanted was exactly

that.

The door opened suddenly and Emily walked inside. "Boss."

Grey let out a smile. "Glad you are here, I need to explain what the plan is all about to you before

Caramel makes any move."

Alfred walked back inside. "Oh, she's here already."

Grey nodded once. "Please, sit. Let's discuss."

His phone rang again and it was Caramel. Yet again, Grey ignored it.

"So, the plan is simple actually. I'm going to be pretending as if I'm dead and you all have to make sure

this plan works, especially you, Alfred.

Caramel might call you or_," he hesitated. "You would call her and lie that I'm dead. Emily here will

have to visit Caramel. And after that, Caramel would want to make a move. So," he glanced at Emily,

then at Alfred.

"I will need some of your men to spy on Caramel and see what she will do. Now that I'm dead to her,

she would definitely show her true colours since she believed I’m dead already," he finished.

Alfred nodded. "I understand. And I think it's really a perfect plan." He affirmed. "But what about the

men in your house? Caramel wouldn't really be able to work or move to her satisfaction if they are

there," he voiced out.

Grey smiled softly. Well, his plans were always perfect. They might fail at first but it was always very

good.

"Well, you will have to call them over here. Just let them know that Hercules wants them over here so

that Incase Caramel ask them what was happening. We don't want her to suspect anything," he

explained. "0r_" he said quickly as he remembered something. "Tell Jimmy this. Let him get the other

men. Till I'm able to see Jimmy again, don't let him know where I am or how I'm faring. You can just tell

him it's what you want but he should tell the men a different message about me wanting to see them."

Alfred nodded once. "I understand but don't you think we should just tell Jimmy about everything?"

Grey shook his head briefly. "I don't want to tell Jimmy anything just yet until everything has been

confirmed. I don't want to spread unnecessary news about Caramel. You know how she is to me."

Alfred nodded once and stood up. "I need to get to work then," he walked out of the living room.

Emily's curious eyes were still watching Grey."So, what am I supposed to do in this situation?"

Grey looked at her. "Very simple. You would have to go to my place this afternoon. I will tell you what to

do but you will need a change of clothes," he glanced down at her attire, i

Emily smiled softly. "I love that actually but that means I would need to buy clothes as I don't have them

near."

Grey reciprocated her smile. "I will order for you. You don't need to stress yourself," he stood up and

moved away to speak to one of the managers of Aphrodite's stores.

Emily stared at him with admiration and affection in her eyes. Actually, there was something she was

hiding. There was a reason why Linda wanted her to resign even though it was the last thing on her

mind. And it was a thought for another day because Emily was still planning.

There were several men in the front yard. He beckoned one of the men closer.

The man walked nearer and bowed slightly. "Boss, is there anything you want me to do for you?"

"You need to go to Hercules's new house and spy on Caramel every moment. Take two more men to

make everything flexible. You can take pictures and others but make sure she doesn't notice you," he

ordered.

The man bowed slightly. "I will do my best," he assured.

"Alright, you are dismissed but call Jimmy over here before you leave."

The man bowed again and walked away.

Alfred waited for Jimmy to come around. He didn't want to enter the house, whereby Jimmy would do

the same and discover that Grey was actually doing fine. The main plot of the plan was to make

everything suspicious.

"Hello boss, you called me over."

"Yes, I did. Tell your men at Hercules's house to come here at once."

Jimmy looked up, a bit confused. "Why? Is something wrong? I mean Hercules said the men should

never leave his house unguarded," he explained.

Alfred nodded once. "I know but it's currently a state of emergency and that's what you must do."

Jimmy's heart made a sudden thud at Alfred's choice of words. "Is everything alright? Particularly with

Hercules?"

Alfred released a sigh. "Just do as you are told, Jimmy, and hurry up."

Jimmy bowed slightly and dragged his feet away.

Alfred waited for him to be gone before he walked back inside. Emily wasn't inside but that was the

least of his concern as he placed a call to Caramel.

Caramel picked up immediately as if she had been waiting for it. "Hello, Richard?" Her voice shook

slightly.

Alfred cleared his throat. "This isn't Richard but Alfred. There's something I need to inform you," he

hesitated. "Grey is dead."
