Chapter 575
| Chapter 575: Lookalike watch | ~ Grey was not only surprised but disappointed. Didn't he discuss everything with Avery and she did say she was going to listen to him? Though she wasn't clear about it, Grey expected her to listen. Why was she even stubborn? “Boss,” Charles called suddenly, pulling Grey out of his mini-thought.
“Is something wrong?” Grey looked at Charles. “I just saw Avery. Or are my eyes playing tricks on me? Isn't that Avery?” Charles looked ahead, “The lady in black dress?” Grey looked up again and a flash of disappointment mirrored his face.
| “No, not a black dress. She was wearing a long red dress,” he explained as his eyes frantically searched the whole area but the lady was gone.
Charles looked at Grey. “Could it have been your eyes? There's no other lady.” Grey groaned inwardly. “I know what I saw, Charles and you know that. I'm good with sight. I really did see a lady wearing areddress.Ifatall I'm mistaken, then it could be about Avery because I didn't see her face, I only saw her backside.” Charles nodded once. Grey was right actually. His sight was really good.
That was how he saw his father the first time too. So, Grey wouldn't be mistaken about it.
“Iwill tell the men to look out for her, justin case,” he assured. | Grey looked away briefly, disappointed.
“No, tell them nothing. It's ok,” he finished and started towards the entrance.
Mark and Jimmy followed him quickly.
Grey stepped inside with his men. The whole place was filled up already and music was playing from the speakers around.
Maximo was the first to look in his direction, while he was talking to two of his men. He smiled and started towards Grey.
Grey met him halfway.
“Maximo!”
\ "4 iV BUnNUS “Good to see you, Hercules. I didn't know you would be so early. The party just started.” : | “I must not miss this party for anything else,” Grey reciprocated his smile.
Maximo looked behind him for a moment as if searching for something. "Where's your date?” Grey laughed. “I came here alone, Max.” “No, that shouldn't be. You should have with your date. It's not good for the boss to be alone.” Grey laughed again. Maximo was always funny.
“Anyways, I seem to have allowed three men to join us in this party.”
Grey sobered. “Who are they?” “Three mafia lords from Russia. They would like to meet you. Though only one is around already, I will make sure to introduce them at your convenience.” “No problem, Maximo. I will meet as many as there are.” Maximo smiled. “Today belongs to you, have the best fun boss. There are a lot of things I've planned for any way that will make today fun for you.
And__" he stopped suddenly and looked right behind Grey. “isn't that Avery?” What? Avery? Grey followed the path of his gaze over to a lady coming over to their side. She was in a long red dress that
accentuated her shape. Her shoe was black and pointed.
And it seems like she was wearing makeup. In fact, her hair was styled differently.
She looked overall beautiful and different.
“I thought you've spoken to Avery? What's she doing in this party? How did she even know this place?” Grey was not only shocked but also skeptical.
Indeed, he spoke to Avery. And besides, he thought he saw her before she stepped inside but he just was not sure.
But what was Avery planning? What was she hoping to achieve by defyingThis content belongs to Nô/velDra/ma.Org .
Grey? Avery was moving even closer; it seemed like she was intentionally coming over to Grey and Maximo's place.
“I sincerely don't know what is happening. I'm as shocked as you are,” Grey confessed.
“Besides, she looks very different today. I almost didn't recognize her.” Grey didn't respond, instead, he was still looking at Avery.
He wouldn't lie that he was mesmerized by her beauty. She was still like when he first knew her.
Avery looked over at Grey. Their gaze held for a few minutes before Avery looked away and smiled at someone.
By the time she turned towards Grey again, she was standing in front of them.
“Boss,” Charles called suddenly, joining the circle as well.
Avery looked at Charles, with a raised brow, then she looked at Maximo and did as though she didn't hear Charles refer to Grey as ‘boss’ “Good evening, Mr. Maximo.” Maximo put on a smile. “It's nice to meet you again. You are looking so elegant and beautiful.” Avery blushed slightly. “Thank you so much,” she muttered and looked at Grey. “I didn't expect to meet you here.”
Charles looked at Grey. “Grey,” he called softly, trying to draw attention to him. - Grey knew he was trying to tell him something. So, he looked at him.
Charles regarded him for a moment.
“The watch,” he mouthed and gestured slightly at Avery.
Grey followed the path of his gaze over to the neck chain around Avery's neck.
It was a watch.
But that wasn't the surprising thing. It held a lot of similarities to Grey's father's watch, the one they thought was with Giovanni.
What!
