Secretly The Billionaire Boss by Debbie chocolate

Chapter 324: Disguised but real

Grey was too shocked. "Aphrodite?" He called as Aphrodite pulled back.

"What?" Aphrodite smiled. "As smart as you are, Grey, there’s something you don’t always understand.

That’s the way to a woman's heart," she revealed and pulled back the more until she was out of Grey's

arm. 'You just asked me a very difficult question, Grey."

She looked away and left Grey hanging. He was more than shocked.

Maybe it was true that Grey didn't understand the way to a woman's heart but it wasn't entirely his fault.

There was no way he would even think so far of something with Aphrodite. Aphrodite was supposed to

be his close person. Who would think that Aphrodite was in love with him?

"I've had a boyfriend, one," she started as she stared out through the window. "Just one but I had a lot

of lovers, sex man. I just have men for sex, not because I love them. The first guy I dated after you

went missing was the only boyfriend I had and we broke up a year later. Since then, I have been

clubbing and you know-," she chuckled. "It's not really a nice experience."

"I know," Grey laughed. "I mean I've been in different positions as well."

Aphrodite nodded briefly. "Actually, I was in love with you before you got missing. And I couldn't handle

it after you got missing," she looked up at him.

"What!" Grey exclaimed softly. 'You have?"

Aphrodite nodded once. "So, I was not able to date any guys because I had my heart with you."

"But what if I didn’t come back? Does that mean you wouldn't have anyone in your life?" Grey couldn't

believe what he was hearing.

Aphrodite smiled. "I sincerely don't care, Grey. I don't! I will rather be a mafia boss than date someone

that isn't you."

Grey shook his head briefly. "Novia, don’t do that."

Aphrodite smiled briefly. "That's how much I love you, Grey. I actually thought it would get better after

you came back but I discovered you were married already and now-," her voice trailed off.

"I-," Grey was still short of words. "Novia, I'm sorry but I sincerely don’t think this relationship can work.

I mean I have a girlfriend already and you-."

"I understand," Aphrodite said suddenly, cutting him off. "I haven't been complaining and I won't. All I

want to say is I will always love you forever," the door opened, and she got out.

Grey found himself staring right at Aphrodite. What was she even saying? How could a girl promise to

love a guy forever? It doesn't even make any sense.

But Grey knew that Aphrodite wasn't someone like that. She definitely wouldn't lie and she wouldn't

unnecessarily be so bitter. She was always so strong and very independent.

When Grey entered the store, Aphrodite moved closer to him and pulled him towards the other side.

She was already back to normal as if nothing happened.

"I think they have pretty nice suits here, why don't you buy yourself some of it."

"No, Novia. We are here for you and not me," Grey stressed out.

Three men were behind them already, walking slowly and giving them space but still making sure

everything was alright with them.

Grey wouldn't have allowed them but the elders persisted. And he understood them. Things have

gotten more dangerous, especially with the recent happening. Giovanni might be planning anything at

any time.

It was even because he didn't want it or Gregory might have forced a lot of men to come with him.

"Well, we can change our wardrobe. There's nothing special about it. See, you will like this one," she

said and rushed off to nowhere in particular.

"Grey!" A voice said suddenly just as Grey was about to call Aphrodite back.

Grey looked up at David and a sigh escaped him.

"It's you, after all this while," David laughed. "What are you doing here?"

Grey inclined his head aside. "What do they do at the boutique?"

David laughed. "I know. It just amused me to see you here despite everything going around about you

and your stupid company. I don't even know how I was supposed to feel for you after your secret was

leaked about your company," he said with a sarcastic voice.

Grey didn't say anything and continued to look at him.

"I knew it was suspicious. How could a poor kid like you start earning millions in such a short time? You

were actually dealing in drugs?" He laughed.

A salesperson moved closer. "Mr. David, how may I help you?"

David regarded Grey for a moment and looked at the salesperson. "I will give you a month's salary if

you can send this guy out of here."

He was still angry at what Hercules did to him because of Grey. And he was going to start

embarrassing him wherever he met him. He was going to make sure Grey regretted it.

"Sir?" The salesperson raised skeptical brows at him.

"I said I want you to send him out!" He snapped. "Actually," he cooled down. "I'm doing you and this

store a great favour. This man here is the poorest and most miserable man ever. He's here for fun and I

bet he's not even going to spend any money on anything because he doesn't have any. He's just going

to constitute a nuisance," he explained.

The salesperson's eyes went wide as she looked over at Grey. "Sir, you have to_"

"Grey! Look what I got for you," Aphrodite said suddenly with excitement in her voice. She pulled to a

stop when she saw the weirdness around her. "Is something going on here?"

Even the salesperson was shocked and didn't know what to say.

David looked at Aphrodite for a moment. "What?" He was shocked for a moment. How come Aphrodite

has gotten so close to Grey?

At first, he didn't know it was her but upon closer look, he realised it. And that made it even weirder.

Aphrodite was known to not only be a boss lady but had to get. She hasn't dated in a long while but the

news had it that she does have a gigolo but it was always in privacy. No one knew who the men were

or if rumours were true

In a nutshell, Aphrodite doesn't associate so freely with any man unless they were among the elders or

unless he was Hercules.

Why? Because Hercules was her first love
