Secretly The Billionaire Boss by Debbie chocolate

Chapter 326: Claim

Grey had difficulties taking in what was really happening and he was forced to swallow the wine even

though he knew what it was all about.

"Novia, what are you doing?" Grey muttered.

Aphrodite smiled. "Don't get up Grey if you don't want them to see your face. They are all in

anticipation of what you look like," she glanced around.

Do you want more wine?"

Maybe Aphrodite wouldn't do anything if she hadn't confessed her feelings. Or maybe she wouldn't

have talked if Grey hadn't asked. It was all Grey's fault.

"I'm fine, just give back my mask."

Aphrodite chuckled, unwilling to release it.

"It's an order, Novia, from Hercules!" He muttered thickly.

Aphrodite's expression changed slightly and she reluctantly covered him. She took the wine and left.

Grey got up and stared behind her for a moment. He looked away and caught some ladies blushing.

They were very much expecting Grey to follow Aphrodite or maybe they thought that was going to

happen. If only they know.

Grey let out a sigh and looked up at Maria just as when she was moving closer to him.

Maria got closer. "Everything is set. We should start soon. We only need to check that where you and

Aphrodite will be staying is well-lit and good," she explained.

Grey nodded once. "Alright. Be fast with it. I still need to go to the police station," he informed her.

Maria nodded once and turned away.

Grey’s phone vibrated. It was a message from Alfred. Alex was truly stuck and there was nowhere he

would escape prison.

His isolation and embarrassment wouldn't amount to what he was forced to pass through but the

thought of what Alex was going to pass through gave him a purge of happiness.

At least, he was able to do something like that to him.

And it is a cause for celebration. He would have wine that night for celebration, only him. That was

enough for him. And that would stop him from thinking about Caramel. Caramel was gone already and

was slowly becoming a thing of his past.

That particular thought jolted a part in him. Beatrice called him two days back but they couldn't talk

because he had to be somewhere immediately. And he hadn't been able to call back.

He must definitely call her back when he was done with the shooting.

Maria moved closer to him again. "We are set, sir. You should move to the stage so that we can start,"

she explained.

Aphrodite showed up as well as if she knew that the shoot was about to start.

Grey stood and was led to where he was supposed to sit. Aphrodite was told to sit beside him by the

right.

"Hi, I'm Grey Fox, the CEO of Protos Pubblicita," he started.

Aphrodite regarded him for a moment before she smiled at the screen. "I'm Aphrodite, as you can see,"

she laughed.

Grey smiled at her gesture. "Anyways, I'm here to announce to everyone that I own Victoria Skincare,"

he hesitated silently. "Victoria Skincare has been something I've always wanted to do for so long and

knowing fully well that my mother was the first producer of these creams, ignited the fire in me. And this

was why I named it after my mother."

Aphrodite nodded briefly. "His mom was excellent."

Grey chuckled. "Yes, Aphrodite knows everything because we were so close then. In fact, closer like

siblings."

The words made Aphrodite turn her head towards him quickly. She hated the statement but she had to

keep it cool.

"So, this cream was what my mother uses. It's tested and trusted severally. So, whatever news is

circulating about it should be disregarded. There's nothing like that and whoever thinks he's going

against Grey by coming for the company is definitely going against me and I won't take it easy with

anyone like that," he smiled. "Thank you."

"Great!" Maria nodded briefly.

Aphrodite stood up suddenly and walked out without a word.

Grey regarded her for a moment. "Alright, settle up and make sure it's evenly distributed. Also, I want

you to send it to Jimmy so he can distribute it everywhere on the internet."

Noted, boss."

Grey stood and entered the elevator with the men. When he got to the garage, Aphrodite was nowhere

to be found.

He dialled her contact but she didn't pick up. Grey knew he must have done something that touched a

nerve but he had a lot to think that he doesn't even remember anything that could have angered

Aphrodite.

We are going to the police station," he announced to the driver as he got inside the car.

Just as the car was moving, he placed a call to Beatrice. The phone didn't even ring at all but Grey

waved it off. Perhaps Beatrice was busy and had to switch off her phone.

And Grey didn't want to call Caramel. If she could be gone for so long and didn't call him, it could only

mean that she didn't want to talk to him. And he respected that, i

They arrived at the police station. When Grey entered with the men, the policemen recognized him.

"Welcome, Hercules. How can we help you sir?"

"You have one of my workers in detention," he stretched out to one of his men who dropped a phone in

a bag on his palm. "Here's the evidence that I own Victoria Skincare and that all the news concerning

my cream is all fake."

The policemen were dumbfounded as they took the evidence from him.

"You can check them out while you send someone to retrieve my worker before I sue this place for not

investigating properly," he threatened.

Without being instructed by one of the bosses, one of the policemen hurried to the cell while the rest

sat to watch what was on the phone.

Linda was shocked when she walked out and saw Hercules. She didn't know why Hercules was

interfering when the company belonged to Grey.

Grey regarded her for a moment. "Let her come with us," he muttered and walked out.

The police saw the evidence and we're convinced. They even promised to get to the root of the matter

but Grey knew they wouldn't be able to.

Linda was famished and thirsty. She hesitated before she got inside the car beside Grey. She still found

it difficult to believe that she would be riding in the car of one of the biggest billionaires In the city.

"Drive us to 5star," he ordered.

Linda looked up at Grey, with her neck slightly bowed. "Please, drop me off here, and don't bother

yourself about me."

Grey huffed. "Don't you want to know who is under the mask?"
