Secretly The Billionaire Boss

Chapter 373

Chapter 373: Duty or Love?

Grey entered the car and hesitated. He stared into space. Maybe Caramel was right. At least, he got her into trouble the other time and it was because of him that Seth decided to use her to get him.

If he wasn't so close to her, that wouldn't have happened. It was partially his fault.

But what was he supposed to do? Being Hercules was his birthright and the only thing his father left behind. There was no fucking way he would even think of comparing both. He would never compare being Hercules with his love life.

But he doesn’t know why it was affecting each other.

His phone rang suddenly, jerking him out of his thoughts. It was Alfred.

Grey released a sigh and picked it up. "Hello, Alfred.”

"Hi Hercules, have you been able to get across to Aphrodite?" Exclusive © material by Nô(/v)elDrama.Org.

Grey let out another sigh. "No, I haven’t even had the time to. Have you? She should be at home now. Have you called one of her maids?"

"Yes but she's not at home. I've called her several times but she's not picking up as well. I just hope nothing bad has happened to her."

"Where can she be then?" Grey reasoned aloud.

“I've just sent my men to check the bars and clubs around. So, I don't know where she is but I'm sure I will get information soon," he assured.

“Alright, you can share with me the message when you do. I can go over to get her."

There was hesitation. “Are you sure you aren't busy? I mean I can get her guardians to get her so you wouldn't have to worry yourself. You must be busy with Caramel.”

"It's ok, Alfred. I'm currently free to do anything."

"Oh, alright. Wait, please give me a few minutes. One of them just called me. Let me attend to him."

Grey let out a sigh. "Alright."

"Yes, you sure? Alright, then. You guys can come home then," Alfred hesitated. He was on a call with one of his men.” She has been found?” He released a sigh. "She's at Megaphone Attitude. She only refused to go home. I think everything is alright. I just wonder why she isn't with any of her entourages.”

“Alright, I will just check her and see that everything is fine.”

“Alright, that's cool then. Till tomorrow." He finished and the phone went off.

Grey glanced back for a moment as if he would see Caramel. What she had said to him still hurt him so greatly. He would rather go out than stay home at that moment. He wasn't even feeling it.

He drove right to Megaphone Attitude. It was very late in the night when Grey pulled up in the parking lot of Megaphone Attitude.

Grey got inside the club and his gaze searched around for Aphrodite. He found her just as she stood and started moving to the music.

She looked so happy that Grey had to follow her steps. As it turned out, she was fine but Grey wasn't in the mood to return home. So, he moved closer to her.

Aphrodite looked at her. "Grey?" She smiled. "How are you doing?"

Grey nodded briefly. "I'm fine and I can see that you are doing great."

Aphrodite sat. "Yes. I'm in a good mood tonight. But how come you are here? I thought you would be at home."

Grey nodded once, a smile on his face. "Yes but I just feel like coming over here. It has been a while since I’ve been here. It's really nice to come here."

Aphrodite regarded him for a moment with a funny smile. “Caramel is at home, isn't she? You should be with her, especially with what she's currently going through."

Grey smacked his lips as he regarded her for a moment. "What are you trying to say?"

Aphrodite sighed. "I spoke to Caramel yesterday and today."

Grey raised skeptical brows at her." What?"

Aphrodite smiled slightly. “I know what happened between you two.”

Grey looked away, “How?" he demanded in a soft tone.

"She confessed to me today. I asked her about it.”

"Why didn't you tell me about it?"

‘Well," she shrugged slightly. " I guess I didn't want to be the one to break your heart. I just wanted you to hear directly from her. So, I threatened her to do so today. I won't let her continue to deceive you,” she explained.

Grey looked at her for a moment as if he couldn’t believe his ears. "What did you guys discuss?"

Aphrodite smiled but didn't respond.

"Novia," Grey called softly. ‘Tell me everything. I deserve to, don't I?"

Aphrodite looked away for a moment. "I asked her why she still wanted to be with you after poisoning you twice."

"Novia!" Grey called sternly, surprised and disappointed. Aphrodite doesn't have to intervene in his personal life.

"It doesn't even make any sense that she suddenly wants to feel accepted after poisoning you twice. I'm sorry I spoke to her behind your back but," she hesitated. "But I don't regret it."

Grey sighed. "What did you guys discuss at first? I mean the first time you asked for my permission to speak with Caramel."

"Well, I wanted to know if she was pretending. So, I twisted my words and eventually discovered that she wasn't. I know it's your love life but you are very important to US. Why if Caramel had killed you? What would be our gain?"

Grey continued to stare at her. He didn't even know what to say.

"I saw the way you jumped up to meet her after hearing she had regained her memories. Why if she hasn’t regained her memory? What if she was just trying to deceive you? What if she had tried to kill you again?

Grey let out a sigh. She was right anyways. And yes, he knew Aphrodite to be selfless. She was definitely concerned about him in general terms. He was Hercules after all. If he dies, what condition would the members be in?

"And she told me the truth. She didn't want to be with you in the first place. She wanted to get out but didn’t know when she was supposed to do so. And I made her tell you tonight,” she paused to see

Grey's reaction and when he didn't talk, she continued.

"Grey, Caramel doesn't deserve you. You shouldn't waste your time with her. You are not supposed to choose between being with Caramel and being Hercules."

Grey looked at her and a smile escaped his lips. Aphrodite was right anyways. Though it wasn't going to be easy on him, he had to move on. He really has to.

Grey grabbed the wine on the table and poured some of the content into the cup. "I'm getting drunk tonight!" He said jokingly.
