Secretly The Billionaire Boss

Chapter 508: Distraction

Avery knew that she had to do something and it had to be very fast.

Alex wasn't supposed to see Grey at that moment.She looked at Grey.

"Can we leave now?"

Though, she knew that wasn't going to be easy.

Leaving would mean Alex seeing Grey and that was what she wanted to avoid.Grey raised confused brows.

"But we just got here.Why do you want us to leave? I've already ordered something for us to drink and chew on.Is there something else wrong?" He was skeptical.

Avery bent suddenly, "I think I'm having pains in my tummy," she lied and feigned pain.

"I think we need to leave this instance," she looked ahead of him, at Alex who was currently speaking to an unknown man in the club.

Grey saw this and followed the path of her gaze.He was quick to look away just as Alex looked over to their side.

Grey's heart made a sudden thud at this.

What the fuck was Alex doing in his club? Actually, he thought Megaphone Attitude would be the safest for him.

Why would Alex come to his club? And Avery seemed to be scared of him as well, with the way she looked at him.

Well, she was supposed to recognize him now as Giovanni's son.It was even Grey that exposed the whole truth.

But could Alex have done something wrong to Avery? Was that why she was currently scared? Avery focused back on Grey and noticed the change in his countenance.

"I really think I have to leave, perhaps go to the hospital.I feel so weird!"

"Sure," Grey nodded once.

"You should go ahead, I will see the barman and inform him not to make any preparations."

"Well, take your time because I have someone else I need to speak to," she muttered, took her bag, and walked away before Grey would say anything else.

Avery knew that Grey wouldn't be able to leave that instance because he was indeed going to hide from Alex.

Alex was going to see him if he decided to leave at that moment.

What Avery planned to do was distract Alex so that Grey could leave.

Though, that was the most dangerous thing to do.

Well, for Hercules, she could do more.She walked swiftly to Alex, a smile on her face.

"Hi Alex," she called suddenly.

Alex hesitated and looked at Avery.He regarded her for a moment as if trying to remember who she really was.

"You are_," his voice trailed off.

"Avery Robinson," Avery muttered and extended her hand.

Alex regarded her for another moment and suddenly smiled.

"Avery, Grey's ex-wife."

Avery felt a stab of whatever at his word.She didn't know if it was pain or regret.But she wondered how much Alex knew her.

Well, since Grey was Hercules, it was normal for him to know who his wife was.

"You remember me?"

"I remember you very much now.We met in Italy.But how come you are here now? Did you follow me here?"

He accused her, with a hard and frightening expression.

Avery swallowed harder.

Alex was definitely not like Grey.She couldn't believe that she lost a man like Grey.novelebook.comShe swallowed harder and tried to calm down so it wouldn't look like she was scared.

"No, why would I do that? I just have something to discuss with you."

"Ok, what can that be?"

He raised a brow and waited.

Avery looked over at the man standing in front of Alex as if indirectly saying she didn't want to talk in front of her.

Alex understood and looked back at the man. novelbin

"I will see you later."

The man bowed slightly and walked away.

Avery faked a smile.

"Can you buy me a drink? While we talk? Alex regarded her for another moment as if trying to see through what she was thinking.

"Alright, I will," he muttered and moved to the bar.

Avery followed him.It looks like her plan had worked.

At this moment, Grey looked at Alex and saw that he was distracted already.He took the opportunity to move out of the club.He had initially been thinking of how to leave without being seen by Alex.It just wasn't yet time.

He didn't know what Avery had with him but he was glad that because of her, Alex and him wouldn't be meeting.

Though, he was still worried about Avery.He texted her immediately and waited in the car.He planned to call Charles if Avery doesn't come out within ten minutes.

Then, he wondered why Alex was in his club.He obviously thought that Grey could be alive.

If Grey was, he would definitely go to his club, since it would be safe to hide his identity like that.

Avery's phone beeped suddenly and a message from Grey appeared on her screen.She smiled at this and took the cup of vodka that Alex had gotten for her.

"So, why would you want to speak with me? I don't remember having any unfinished business with you."

"Well, you do not.I was just going to talk to you about investing in my business," she smiled softly.

"I planned on starting a business in Italy and I need investors and, well, a business partner.Which one can you be?"

Alex regarded her for a moment.

"Do you know who I am?"

"Who doesn't know the son of Giovanni? You are quite popular." Alex laughed.

"Seriously?"

"Yes, though, not now.I could speak with you some other time if you don't mind.According to your schedule.I can convince you to invest in my business," she explained.

Alex nodded once.

"Come to my house tomorrow by ten.I will be expecting you," he pulled out his business card and wrote something on it.

Then, he stretched it out to Avery.

"That's my house's address."

Avery trembled.

"Your house? Not an office?"

"My house.I will be expecting you," he muttered and walked away.

Avery suppressed another shiver before she walked out of the club.

Alex just acted weird.

Well, she had no plan on visiting him.So, there was no need to be worried.She was only glad that she was able to prevent a disaster.
