Secretly The Billionaire Boss

Chapter 404

Chapter 404: Leaving

Grey woke up with a sudden headache. He had a lot of drinks last night with Charles. In fact, Charles decided to sleep over. While Grey walked inside to sleep, Charles and Aphrodite were still chatting. They seemed to like each other's company recently or maybe Aphrodite was already falling for him.

Grey looked up and realized it was almost 9 o'clock in the morning. He walked inside the bathroom for a quick bath. He picked up his phone and walked out of the room. Charles and

Aphrodite were in the kitchen cooking.

Grey regarded them for a moment before he turned to return to his room and probably give them time to talk further but the door opened and one of the men walked inside.

He moved toward Grey and bowed slightly. “Boss, there’s someone here to see you.”

Grey raised a skeptical brow. “Who?”

“The man that brought her said she’s from Mr. Alfred.”

Grey reasoned it for a moment and remember what he had discussed with Alfred the night before. The woman must be a family of Jimmy. novelbin

“Let her in,” he ordered.

The man bowed slightly and walked out of the living room.

Grey looked over at Charles and Aphrodite again.thuy They didn’t notice that he was even in the room. They were so occupied. The door opened again and the man walked inside again, but followed closely by a woman in her late twenties. She was short and very beautiful.

The man bowed slightly before he walked out, leaving the woman inside.

Grey regarded her for a moment, at her reddish and swollen face. It looked like she had been crying.

He moved closer to her. “Raise your head,” he whispered.

The woman complied slowly and Grey was able to see the tears flow freely from her face. She was really in real pain and it made the blade in Grey’s chest twist. He remembered quickly that it was his fault that Jimmy was dead. If he hadn’t made that one decision, he wouldn’t be.

“who are you to Jimmy?”

The woman swallowed hard as if a lump was blocking her throat. “ I'm-,” she stopped again. “I'm his wife and I’m carrying his baby already. He doesn’t even know. I was going to make it a surprise on his birthday. I was going to tell him that he was going to see his son soon. His long-awaited wish was going to be fulfilled but-,” she released another round of sobs.

Grey's heart ached to watch her. “I’m sorry. I’m very sorry for everything that has happened to you.”

The woman nodded once, “Thank you but who are you? Mr. Alfred only told me there’s someone I need to meet.”

Grey released an exasperated sigh and goes to sit. “You should sit as well so that we can discuss with you. The earlier,the better. I wouldn't want to keep you here for long.”

The woman was skeptical for a moment, unsure of what was happening. She nevertheless complied.

“What's your name? I mean what should I call you?”

“Sophia.”

“Sophia, I'm someone who knows your husband very well. I am as saddened as you are at his death and I promise you, if I could do anything to bring him back, I would.” He said truthfully.

Somehow, Sophia believed him. There was a tendency of honesty in his voice.

“I want to give him a befitting burial. Also, I will like to supportyou in any way that I can. I will do anything you ask of me.”

“But why?” Sophia was shocked.

“As I said, I’m close to Jimmy. I only want to do what he’s not going to be able to do for you again.”

Sophia nodded several times. “Thank you so much, I appreciate it, I really do.”

Grey smiled slightly as he watched her. “I will send someone to give you some money and you can communicate with the person whenever you need me.”

Sophia sobbed even harder.

Grey smiled. “You can leave now then.”

She stood up with a smiling face and bowed several times again. “I really appreciate it. Thank you so much!” She finished before walking out.

“That’s actually a nice thing to do for her. 1’m sure Jimmy will be happy wherever he is,” Charles said suddenly.

Grey looked up at him, then back at Aphrodite. “I thought you guys were having fun.”

Charles nodded once. “We were just cooking. You must be starving, aren’t you? Aphrodite is almost done.” He sat beside him. “I’m really glad that you are alright. I thought something bad had happened to you for real when I saw the news.”

Grey smiled softly. “I’m glad I’m able to see you again, actually. I thought I would be gone forever. Actually, I was shocked for a moment.”

Charles released a sigh. “I was as well.”

Grey’s phone rang suddenly. It was Alfred calling. He picked it up immediately.

“Hello, Alfred. Good morning.”

“Good morning, Hercules. Have you seen Jimmy’s wife? I sent her over already.”

“Yes, I have. She left here a few minutes ago.” Grey responded.

“Alright. I also need to report to you concerning the men I sent to Italy. I was able to talk to them when they arrived in Italy but the connection got lost. I sincerely think we need to talk about it.”

Grey reasoned it for a moment, “I’m going to Italy.” He said suddenly, startling Charles for a moment.

“What! Going where?” Charles questioned.

Grey looked at Charles for a moment and made a nod of his ear at him. “Call the elders to my house tonight for a meeting.”

“Alright, boss,” Alfred responded and the line went off.

Grey looked at Charles. “I’ve been thinking a lot about it and I’ve finally decided on what to do.”

Charles was a bit confused. “Going to Italy? Why? What for?

Besides, what about Jacksonville?”

Grey watched Charles for a moment. “Well, I also need to think of Italy. That aside, I think I am going to stay dead for now, till I’m back. If James really needs my help, I should offer it out. He has always been helpful to me as well. Aside from that, I have shares in the company. So, I have the right to know what is happening over there. So, I’m going to Italy."
