Secretly The Billionaire Boss by Debbie chocolate

Chapter 345: Careful

"Why do you think so?" Grey demanded.

Alfred went quiet for a moment. "You know what, I will give you feedback when I got all my facts

together. Don’t worry about it," he assured.

Grey nodded once. "Alright. I will talk to you later then." He finished and hung up.

A soft knock sounded on the door. "Hello, boss. This is Maria.”

Grey nodded once. "Come inside."

Maria opened the door and walked inside. "I came to submit these files," she said and submitted the

files. "And to also give you feedback concerning David. But-," she hesitated. "Is everything alright?"

Grey released a sigh. "I lost someone that's like my mother."

'What!" Maria exclaimed softly. "I'm so sorry. Will you take the day off? I mean you shouldn't even be in

this place at this time of the day."

Grey thought for a moment. "I think you are right. I will take the day off," he took his phone and looked

up at Maria. "Let's talk later, especially about David," he told her.

Maria nodded slightly. "I understand and I’m so sorry about it."

Grey nodded once and stood up. He had a lot to ask Caramel actually. Something just happened in

Seattle. Why would Beatrice die? Who could have killed her and then, Caramel didn’t respond to him

just yet when he asked about the baby. Could something have happened to it?

Grey arrived home and saw Aphrodite waiting for him by her car.

He hesitated and gathered his forehead at her. He was surprised that she was standing there. Could

she have seen Caramel? Maybe she had but how did she even know? She has spare keys, anyways.

Grey moved closer to her, a bit anxious about what was happening. "Hi, Aphrodite."

Aphrodite regarded him for a moment. "So, Caramel is back?"

Grey hesitated. "Yes. She came to my office. Why? Is there a problem?"

Aphrodite sighed. "Nothing, just surprised. I didn't know she could come back."

'What do you mean?" He demanded but Aphrodite didn’t respond. "Is there something you aren't telling

me?"

Aphrodite let out a sigh. "Nothing really. I just want you to be careful around her. She's suspicious and

there's something strange about her."

Grey was still confused. ‘What do you mean? Did you see something about her?"

Aphrodite regarded him for a moment before she walked away without replying to him.

Grey stared right behind her until she had driven out of the vicinity. He still found the word strange and

he couldn't make out if it was out of jealousy or if she actually heard something about her.

But well, Caramel just got back. There was no way she would hear anything about it.

Grey walked inside the living room and Caramel was in the kitchen, cooking. He regarded her for a

moment before he walked nearer.

"Is everything alright?"

Caramel tensed for a moment before she turned around to look at a Grey. A smile suddenly spread

across her face. "You are home? I thought you would be home later in the day."

"I just had to speak with you and see that you are alright. But why are you cooking so much? Are you

eating with your friends?' He demanded, confused.

Caramel shook her head briefly. "I just wanted to cook your meal and then I could serve you when you

get back. Though I didn't know you would come back so early, you've spoiled my surprise," she

laughed nervously.

"It's ok. I will just wait for you to finish cooking. Then we can eat together."

Caramel nodded once. "Ok, I will be done then. You should go inside to shower and come back to eat,"

she suggested.

Grey regarded her for a moment and nodded once. "I will do that. Thank you. I will be back," he turned

around and walked to his room.

He hesitated when he entered the room. A sigh escaped him, followed closely by a smile. He was

happy that he was seeing Caramel again by the way. He thought she would be gone forever.

Though other things were still attached to it, he was still happy that he was seeing Caramel again.

He went inside the bathroom for a quick shower. It took him an hour to actually get ready. When he had

freshened up, he felt very good. And the headache that was starting to come up disappeared.

He picked up his phone to see if he had any messages from Alfred or if maybe he missed calls. He had

none, so he decided to go downstairs

Caramel had set the table when he got nearer and she was even smiling. It showed that she was

happy and it made him happy as well.

Grey sat in front of her. "I'm happy to see you like this. But I still think we need to talk."

"I hope you like your food."

"I will, definitely. This isn't the first time you will be cooking for me."

Caramel hesitated for a moment as if she was trying to remember something. "Yes, you are right," she

smiled as well.

Just as Grey was about to dip into the food, his phone rang and it was Alfred. Grey knew he had to pick

it up quickly as Alfred would have a very important message for him and he could afford to miss it.

Grey looked up at Caramel. "I'm sorry but I have to pick up this call."

"Why don’t you eat now? You can pick the call up later," she whined softly.

Grey smiled and gently placed the phone on the table. "You are right actually. I can always speak to

him later."

The phone stopped ringing and then started ringing almost immediately.

Grey picked up the phone and looked at Caramel. "I need to pick it up and tell him to call me later or I

will call him later when I'm done."

Caramel nodded once, a wide smile on her face.

"Hello, Boss."

"Hello Alfred, can we talk later, I'm somehow busy now," he informed him

"Yes, I just want to tell you this too because it's so urgent and you seriously need to hear me out,"

Alfred explained with urgency in his voice.

Grey stood up and walked into the living room. "Yes, what's it all about?"

"Be careful of Caramel, Grey because something is fishy about her."

Grey gathered his brows. 'What do you mean?"

"Beatrice died three days ago. Caramel could have shown up then but why is she just showing up

now?" he revealed, with a question hanging.
