Chapter 454: A mistake

“You did?” Maximo felt enraged.

“I’m so sorry, boss.I did what I thought was right,” Simon announced.

Maximo regarded him for a moment.

“Did you tell him that Grey is alive?” Simon shook his head briefly.

“I didn’t.I didn’t do that.I merely wanted Alex to see Grey.This was why I staged everything.” Maximo

clenched his fist in anger.

“How could you let Alex suspect me? I still had a lot to deal with from him! How could you let him do

that to me?” He yelled.

Simon bowed.

“I’m sorry boss.You have to forgive me.I did it all with your best interest in mind,” he pleaded.

Maximo hit him across the face so fast and in anger.He pulled him up violently.

“How dare you do that? I’m the boss! You don’t act behind my back!”He yelled.

“I’m sorry, boss.I thought it was the best!”

Maximo released him suddenly.

“This had better be the last time you will do this.If you try something like this again, I will have no choice

but to kill you!” He shouted.

“Do you understand?” Simon nodded quickly.

“Yes, boss.”

“Good!”

Maximo spat out, his eyes growing even red with anger.The door opened suddenly and one of

Maximo’s men walked inside.

“Boss, Mr.Grey is here to see you,” he announced.

Maximo looked up suddenly, a bit shocked.He hadn’t expected to see him that evening.He hasn’t even

thought of what he was supposed to tell him.

“Should I find something to tell him so that he would leave?”ebook.com The man asked.

Maximo thought about it quickly on what his decision should be.

“You wouldn’t need to think too much because I’m inside already,” a deep voice said suddenly and

Grey stepped inside.

Maximo looked at him for a moment.

“Why are you here at this moment? I thought you wanted to save the men.”

“And what makes you think I haven’t done that? It’s late now, isn’t it?”

“Leave us,” Maximo ordered and the men walked out.

Grey regarded him for a moment.

“I’m here for a drink.You called me a friend when I first came to Italy, I don’t think that title would have

gone like that, or has it?”

He inclined his head, raised a brow, and waited.

Maximo didn’t reply and instead walked to his mini-bar.He retrieved a bottle of champagne and two

glasses before he walked back to Grey.

“It’s not a bad idea to have one or two drinks,” he muttered and settled down.

Grey watched him for a moment.

“You didn’t want me to save the men even though they are working for us?”

“It’s a lost course, Grey.Saving them is a waste of time.And many things are at stake,” he poured the

champagne into Grey’s bottle.

“Don’t you think so?”

Grey scoffed and gulped it down at a go.Due to its hotness, he grimaced.Yet, he stretched out the cup

for a refill.

“If we are friends, then we must at least think alike sometimes.” Maximo snorted.

“I suppose you don’t even take me as a friend yet, do your” Grey took the bottle of champagne and

looked at the name.

“This wine tastes very nice.I should come over for something like this.Don’t you think? I’m a better

drinker than Alex.”

Maximo looked at Grey for a moment and grunted.

“I knew you had a purpose.”

“What’s in your head? Are you seriously going to work with Alex? Working with him can be disastrous

for you.Firstly, I have Jacksonville to return to.There’s no way I would want your position because I

have mine in Jacksonville.I’m here because of a reason which you are aware of already.Now,” he

adjusted.

“Do you think I would have told you that if we weren’t friends?”

Maximo watched him for a moment and he lost the word he wanted to say.

“Alex will want your position, it’s only a matter of time.If he really is threatening you, then he will

continue to do it till he gets everything he wants.For all I know, he could even start working with your

brother to rob you of all these,” he voiced out.

Maximo felt alarmed at this.

The thought alone brought displeasure to him.He was right actually.

Alex was not only despicable but he was also crafty.

There was nothing he couldn’t do, that he knew.

“What are you scared of, buddy?”

Grey met his gaze for a few minutes of silent communication.

“Did you meet him at Orange Park?”

Maximo looked away and drank more of the champagne.

“You are too brilliant, Grey.Sometimes, I wonder why you are so.You think older than your age.” Grey

laughed.

“I will take that as a compliment.”

“Of course, it is,” Maximo laughed.

“Sometimes, I’m intimidated.Sometimes, I’m awed.And sometimes, I’m jealous.You are going to be

great, Grey.ebookYou are going to surpass your father in all aspects as Hercules.”

Grey laughed again.

“You actually seem to be doing a good job as well.It’s just that you are failing now that Alex is back.It

will only take a while before the other mafia lords find out the truth.They will be enthralled to find out

that their boss shivered under someone like Alex.They might even team up with him to execute

you.There’s no place for the weak in the mafia world,” he explained.

Maximo released an exasperated sigh.

“I will tell you everything, Grey.And like I said in the office, I didn’t tell Alex anything about you but it

seemed like one of my men has been doing exactly that.He had been leading Alex over to you,” he

revealed.

“One of your men? Why would he do that? Did you give him that order?”

“Well, he was with me when everything happened between me and Alex.And he would do anything to

protect me.” Grey glanced around quickly.

“Where is he now? Are you sure he’s not going to do that again?” Maximo shook his head briefly.

”I already warned him.He wouldn’t dare.”

“Are you sure?”

Grey inquired in a deep voice.He actually remembered those days when he ordered Don and the rest

to not do something but they ended up doing it out of loyalty to him.no.v.ele.b.o.okSo funny but it was a

fact.

Maximo gathered his forehead.

“Of course, I just warned him.He wouldn’t do it.”

“Call him over and be sure.We will not continue speaking if we aren’t sure.”

Maximo regarded Grey for a moment before he walked to the door.He had a long talk with the other

men at the door before he strode inside.

“He’s gone! Fuck! He left!”
