Chapter 332: A secret meeting It was afternoon when Aphrodite's call came through.

Grey was sorting out some documents.

Grey glanced at the phone and looked at Maria.

"You can leave.And," he said quickly as Maria turned to leave.

Maria looked at him.

"Is something wrong?"

"Check on David.I have a feeling he’s going to lose his job soon," he expressed with sarcasm in his voice.

Mark bit back a big smile.

"Do you want to prevent it or what?"

"If he can keep it, then it’s fine.If not, I would love to go out to hand over his sack letter." Maria nodded once and walked out.She hesitated behind the door and laughed.

Grey was funny.

Grey picked up Aphrodite’s call.

"Yes dear, what have you been doing since morning? You wouldn't even pick up my call."

"I actually have something for you," she hinted with excitement in her voice.

"I’m in the Protos Pubblicita garage.Come over here, there’s somewhere we need to be," she informed him.

Grey gathered his brows.

"Where? Is something wrong?" Aphrodite laughed.

"You will find out real soon.Just come!" She squealed with excitement.

Grey sighed.

"Alright, I will be there," he hung up and forced himself to his feet.

He wondered what Aphrodite had for him.

Even though he had some work to do, he decided to see what Aphrodite was up to.

When he walked to the garage, he saw Aphrodite in the car.

In fact, her engine was still running.

"Get in! I will drive you over there," she announced.

Grey sighed and got inside the car, beside her.

"Where are we going?"

"We will get there soon," she assured.

Grey let out another sigh as Aphrodite pulled out of the garage.

"I heard about Pablo Gotti's death this morning and I felt very good.So, Mattee has left already?" Grey nodded once.

"Problem solved.We can only be able to focus on one person now.Giovanni would die before Alex."

Aphrodite regarded him for a moment.

"Alright." She drove for a moment before she suddenly pulled to a stop.

"We are here!"

She announced suddenly with a smiling face.

Grey gave her confused brows.

"We are where?"

"Here," she repeated and gestured towards a magnificent building in front of them.

"Your new house." Grey looked at her.

"What do you mean?"

"Well, I selected this place and I’m very sure you will love this place." Grey was shocked.

"So, you selected this place?"

Aphrodite nodded briefly.

"Yes, I did.I overheard your conversation with Alfred and I made him let me choose." Grey smiled.

"Let’s see how it is."

Aphrodite smiled and drove into the garage.She got down as well as Grey and they made their way into the house.

Several men were offloading Grey’s belongings.

Grey was more than shocked as his gaze went around the room.

The place was well furnished.

"When did you start all this? I don’t expect them to be so early." He marvelled at the whole place.

Aphrodite smiled.

"You wanted to come here as early as possible.Fortunately for you, you can come here directly after work.Everything has been sorted." Grey smiled.

"Thank you, Aphrodite, I really appreciate it." Aphrodite felt glad.

"Now, we can hold the meeting at the Hercules house.I will tell the men where they are supposed to be.Since it’s a new place, people won’t notice you earlier."

Grey nodded once and darted at his watch.

"Charles is getting discharged in less than an hour.Since you've made me stop what I was doing at work, I would say we go ahead to get Charles.So, I will go get him.Meanwhile, you should get ready.Or should we make it tomorrow? I mean it’s ok if we postpone it," he explained.

Aphrodite shook her head briefly.

"No, I’m alright.I will just get under the shower and I will be alright.We are going to castle lavender farm.In fact, I’ve made a reservation at Rowhill Grange and Utopia spa."

"Seriously," Grey was shocked.

"You've really done a lot.So, the food and drinks will be on me."

Aphrodite nodded briefly.

"Yes!"

"But when are we coming back to Jacksonville?"

"Well," she thought for a while.

"That’s left to you but I already paid for two nights.Rowhill Grange and Utopia Spa are always occupied at this moment.In fact, I was only able to reserve two rooms.So, you and Charles will share a room."

Grey laughed.

"That's great.I will go and get Charles then.So we can leave."

Giovanni waited for a moment until the members of the billionaire club were all sitting from across the room except for a few others like Alfred that worked for Grey and some that were late.

"Why are we here? What's this meeting for?"

One of the members questioned on anger.It was as if he was forced to come over.

"Let’s wait for a few minutes for the others that are late.We will start the meeting when they arrive,"

Giovanni suggested.

"By that, what do you mean? Do you mean Alfred, Gregory, and the rest?"

Another one inquired.

Giovanni sent him a cold stare.

"Is this supposed to be mocking?"

The man cleared his throat meaningfully and the others decided not to say anything.

They all respected and feared Giovanni.He was one of the major supporters of the billionaire club anyways which was why he had always been the president.

That aside, everyone knew he was a mafia lord.

And they knew only Hercules could go against him as he was also a mafia lord as well.

A few minutes later, the others arrived and everyone looked over at Giovanni for what the meeting was all about.

"So, the main reason for this meeting is to discuss your new president," he hesitated and looked over at their faces to read their expression.

He continued when no one said anything.

"First of all, I would like to ask why he got the post in the first place.I’ve always been funding this club and I funded it before his existence."

"Well, I don’t think this is something worthy of discussion."

"Well, what isn’t?" Giovanni snapped.

"Would you mind giving back all the money I’ve spent on this club?"

"Well, don’t reason it like that.We’ve always been cooperative as well.You've always run this term.It’s not a big deal if someone took it from you just this time," another person explained.

"Seriously?" Giovanni smiled slightly.

"Fine, I understand but that isn’t even why we are here.I’m here to discuss the reason why the president has refused to let you see what he looks like.I mean how could he hide his face from you?

Don’t you feel it’s nonsense? I mean anyone could easily lie about it."

Some of the members nodded briefly as if they were already waiting for someone to take up the discussion.

"I’ve always wondered as well but our godfather said it had to be that way.There's nothing we can do,"

one of them revealed.

Giovanni nodded once.

"There’s more to do."
