Secretly The Billionaire Boss by Debbie chocolate

Chapter 384: Surprise

Grey got dressed in Dormeiul Vanquish li Suit and regarded himself in the mirror. He smiled at who was

staring back at him in the mirror.

His phone rang suddenly and he moved away to grab it. It was Aphrodite but it stopped ringing before

he could pick it up.

He was thinking of calling her back when a loud knock sounded on his door.

Grey turned towards the door with raised brows and angry features. Who would be knocking at his door

at that moment?

"Are you going to open this door or should I burst it out!" A deep familiar voice said suddenly.

Before Grey could react, the door opened and Charles stick his head inside with a smile.

Grey smiled. "Charles!"

"What! Were you expecting someone else?" Charles joked and stepped inside.

Grey ignored his remark and moved forward to hug him. Charles was in Brioni Vanquish li Suit, a suit

that looked as though it was tailored for him.

"I've missed you so much, man!"Grey hit his back slightly. Charles laughed. "Same here," he pulled

back and looked at Grey with twinkling eyes. "What are you doing?"

Grey gave him skeptical brows. "What do you mean?"

"I thought you were ready for the auction already."

"Auction?" Grey was confused a bit. "You know about it?"

"Sure, why do you think I'm here and in this wonderful suit," he looked down at his suit. "Don't you think

I look more handsome than you when I'm in this suit?" He teased.

Grey laughed. "Maybe or maybe not. I will always be the most handsome, right from childhood!" He

teased back.

Charles laughed. "Yes, I heard about the auction two weeks ago. I knew you might be interested. I told

Alfred about you and he promised to let you know and even get your invite," he explained.

"But what about your invite? Alfred only gave me two," he demanded but didn't wait for Charles to

answer before he spoke again. "Though, I planned on entering with a fake one. Maybe we can find one

for you as well," he wondered aloud.

Charles moved away. "Didn't you think I would come prepared? I have my invite and Jimmy is waiting

for us in the car already."

Grey laughed. "You seem so serious this time. But," he paused slightly. "Where have you been all

these while? You just did as if you didn't want to be my brother again," he said as he walked out of the

room.

Charles followed after him."l had to find myself. I'm sorry if I make you think in such a way."

Grey waved it off with a smile. "Not really actually. A lot of things have happened but you will know

about them later. All the same. I'm glad you are back now."

"Me too and," Charles stopped walking and looked at Grey. ’ Thank you so much for what you did to my

father. I really appreciate it."

Grey smiled. "You are always welcome, Charles. Let's go and see what is happening at the auction."

"Sure! But this type of auction is very risky and fun anyways. Do you know that someone has been

killed at this auction?*

"Seriously?" Grey was a bit surprised.

They walk towards the car. Jimmy was leaning on the car while waiting forthem.

"So, it's always so risky. But I'm sure you know this and have a plan in place or we might be walking

into a death trap."

Grey laughed casually. "Maybe I don't, are you scared of death," he joked.

Charles feigned terror. "Sure! Who isn't scared of death? But I'm not ready to die just yet, I don't even

have a wife yet.

How am I supposed to die without a wife or a child?"

Grey laughed again.

Jimmy bowed slightly when they were close enough. "Here's the imitation," he stretched out an invite.

"And here's the original." he stretched out another invite.

Grey took both and tried to compare, "only a few errors. This is cool," he smiled. "It's almost the same."

"Yes, there's barely any difference unless you study them closely," Jimmy muttered.

Grey looked at Charles. "What do you think about it?"

Charles nodded as he took the invites. "Great, actually! I'm sure they are going to fall for it!"

Grey smiled. "Let's go then. We still need to pick Novia up." He hesitated. "I should handle this first so

that it won't look like I came with them."

Charles hurried to the car in between. It was the car that Jimmy would be driving. Since they weren't

allowed to go inside with their guardians, Grey decided not to go with any.

"Yes sir, that was what I was about to say as well. We should arrange the men now before leaving.

They should arrive later after we have and even mingle among the crowds," Jimmy suggested.

"You guys have something up your sleeve and it's sounding interesting," Charles joked.

"How many invites were you able to produce?"

"Ten, sir."

Grey reasoned it for a moment and slowly nodded. "Select ten men now," He ordered.

Jimmy nodded briefly, bowed slightly, and walked away.

"Is everything under control?" Charles inquired.

Grey nodded briefly. "Yes, it is. I'm just trying to create a way to ensure our safety in the auction hall,"

he hinted.

Charles nodded briefly.

Jimmy returned with ten men.

Grey looked at Jimmy again. "Distribute the invites and have them dress up great. There are suits they

could try. And you are all not supposed to come inside at once."

Jimmy raised his head. "Aren't I driving you, sir?"

"No," Grey shook his head briefly. "You should tell the men all they needed to know."

Jimmy nodded briefly.

"Good," Grey muttered and looked at Charles. "Charles, you will have to drive."

"No problem! When last have I followed you out like this? It looked like forever!" Charles joked.

Grey looked at him and smiled. "How is your wound?"

"Almost healed up. Are you still going to wear your face mask?"

Grey nodded briefly. "Like I said it's not yet time."

Charles nodded briefly. "I understand." He entered the driver's seat just as Grey entered the back seat.

The car soon pulled to a stop in front of Aphrodite's house. Aphrodite soon walked out, clad in a red

leather jumpsuit." You were taking a while. So, I called."

Grey nodded briefly. "There's someone you should see. He's in the one driving."

Aphrodite gathered her brows as she watched Grey. "Who?" She didn't wait for a reply as she rounded

the car and looked at Charles. "Charles!" She yelled with excitement. ’ OMG! I'm so happy to meet

you!"

Charles reciprocated the smile. "You've grown more beautiful. Is Grey really taking care of you?"

Aphrodite giggled. "Actually, I'm the one doing that."

"Get inside before I leave you behind!" Grey feigned annoyance.

"There's no way you can do that!" Aphrodite yelled back and laughed before she got inside.

"You are right, Novia. He can't do that. He loves you too much to do that. That aside. I'm the one

driving. I decide."

Grey laughed. He felt happier with Novia and Charles as if they were his family.
