Chapter 460: Maybe
Grey turned to look at her suddenly, with a clear expression.
"Sorry?"
Avery's eyes went wide with shock as she continued to stare at Grey.
"Grey?" She called again, softly with a shaking voice.
Grey shook his head briefly.
"You seem to have it wrong, ma’am.I don’t know who you are,"
He muttered in a deep and different voice from the one that Avery was familiar with.
"Obviously," Maximo said quickly and looked at Avery.
"Miss Avery? What are you doing here?" Avery recognized Maximo immediately.
"Mr.Maximo!" She smiled faintly.
"I-," she hesitated for a moment.
"I lodged here," she said eventually.
"I didn’t expect to meet you here, actually.I didn’t even know you were the one standing near him," she glanced at Grey slightly.
"I thought he was someone I know." Maximo shook his head briefly.
"You must have been mistaken. David here is one of our employees. He’s not Grey. I guess he just looks like someone you know
but he’s not definitely."
Grey looked at Maximo quickly, with a raised brow. He wondered how Maximo was able to find a name for him so quickly.
Avery opened her mouth to say something but the words were caught in her throat. She didn’t know how she was supposed to
start.
How could someone look exactly like Grey? It was just impossible and also surprising.
But he believed Maximo, there was no way why she wouldn't.
Asides, Grey was dead in Jacksonville already.
"Avery?"
Maximo called softly and Avery jerked out of her thoughts.
Avery cleared her throat meaningfully.
"I’m so sorry.I must have misunderstood," she smiled softly and looked at Grey.
"David, I’m Avery," she stretched out her hand for a handshake.
Grey regarded it for a moment before he took it.
"Hi, Avery."
Avery smiled again, as she felt a sensation similar to the one she had felt before when she was still with Grey.
"Nice meeting you, David."
Grey managed a smile.
"Same here," he said softly and gently released his hand.
Avery looked at Maximo.
"I hope I would see you in the office tomorrow, right? I mean I would like to sign the document tomorrow."
"Sure," Maximo smiled.
"You can come over tomorrow, I will be around. We can finalise everything tomorrow," he assured.
Avery nodded, a smile still on her face.
"Thank you," he looked at Grey.
"And I hope to see you tomorrow," she finished and didn’t wait for any of the men to say anything before she walked inside.
Grey released an exasperated sigh.
"Thank you for that, Maximo." Maximo nodded once, then twice.
"Who is she to you? She seems to know you very well." Grey waved it off.
"It’s nothing to worry yourself with, actually. We will meet when I come back," he finished and walked to his car before Maximo
would say much.
Maximo could only stare at his car as he drove off.
Avery hesitated before she walked inside and watched David or rather Grey for the last time.
She had never imagined she would see someone that looks exactly like Grey in Italy.
And somehow, it made her happy.She just wanted to see him again.
And she has decided to do all that she can if it would ensure that she would see him again.
In fact, she has already been planning on staying in Italy for a few days, if she would see him again.
Grey knocked on the door slightly but didn’t wait for a reply before he walked inside.
Aphrodite was in front of the dressing mirror and applying some light makeup.
"Good morning."
"Good morning love,"
Grey moved closer and planted a kiss on her cheek.
"How was your night?"
"Fine," Aphrodite glanced up at him.
"Your colour is nice this morning.Did everything go well yesterday?"
Grey nodded once and smiled.
"It went well, actually but I'm not here to discuss that with you.We have a plan today, remember? "
Aphrodite laughed.
"Where are we going?"
"Have you forgotten already? Don’t worry, you will remember when we get there.You only need to get ready very fast, the car is
waiting already and guess what? This trip will be for three days.Let’s have three days to ourselves before we return to
Jacksonville," he explained.
Aphrodite blushed at this, "Alright, I will get ready very fast."
Grey smiled and pecked her slightly.
"I will be waiting for you," he hesitated as he watched her for a moment.
A smile played on his face for a moment as he walked out of the room.
Charles walked to him.
"Boss, a plane from Jacksonville just arrived and my men are tailing the suspicious men already.I just got a call that one of Alex’s
men just met with one of the men," he revealed.
"That means that he really had the evidence in Jacksonville.He must have gotten across to one of his men in Jacksonville after
Maximo left his place," he reasoned out aloud.
Charles nodded once.
"That could be it, actually.But we are yet to confirm everything.I will let you know when I do.If Alex really has the evidence at this
moment, he would call Maximo." Grey nodded once.
"You are right.I will call Maximo and make inquiries.Just keep watch and report to me about everything," he ordered.
Charles nodded once.
"Understood.Also, I-,"he started but his phone rang suddenly, interrupting him from what he was about to say.He glanced at the
screen and looked up at Grey.
"I need to take this," he revealed and stepped aside.
Grey took his phone and made a call to Maximo.It rang twice before he picked it up.
"Hello, Maximo.Good morning."
"Good morning Grey.How are you doing? I was just about to call you."
"Great.I was just going to ask you if Alex has called you this morning because some of his men just arrived from Jacksonville,"
he revealed.
"Seriously? Do you think he really has the evidence?"
"I can’t say, Maximo.Not now but I will soon.If he calls you, let me know, alright?"
Maximo released a sigh.
"Alright.Actually, Avery just called to ask me the department where you work.She seems so interested in you."
"Find something to tell her.I don’t want to see her again."
"Alright, I will do that,"he went silent for a moment.
"Wait,"he said suddenly.
"Alex is calling."
