Secretly The Billionaire Boss

Chapter 570: The feeling "T have nothing more to say, Avery.

Let's end this discussion now." Avery shook her head briefly. "No! I refuse to! You will speak to me, Grey or you won't leave here." "Stop being stubborn, Avery. You can't force me." Avery regarded him for a moment. "No problem. I know just what to do, Grey.

You won't be able to stop me. And you won't have a choice. If you really know me, you will know how I can be." Grey released a sigh. "What do you want exactly?" "I want answers, Grey. I need answers and I won't leave unless I get it," she said stubbornly.

Grey released an exasperated sigh. "We can talkin the car." Avery nodded once and entered the car.

Grey entered the car beside her. "What exactly do you want to know? Because I've told you everything that I think you should know." Avery looked at Grey, with a gentle expression. “There's a lot you are hiding from me, is that not it?” Grey regarded her for a moment.

“There are some things that are better left hidden, Avery,” he dragged.

Avery's heart pulled at the way he pronounced her name.

“1 want to know everything now and you will tell me,” she said ina

| determined tone.

Grey looked away and sighed. “Do you know that Maximo is a mafia lord?” “Does that make you a mafia lord as well?” Fuck! Avery was being too forward.

“Never said that,” Grey said quickly.

“But you were coming to it,” Avery attacked.

Grey released a sigh. “Are you really going to listen to me?” Avery released a sigh. “Go on then. I will listen.” Grey dragged his breath. “Maximo might be a mafia lord but that doesn't mean anyone close to him is as well.”

Avery nodded once but didn't respond.

“I've worked with so many people in my life. So, that's how I know so many things. I don't like the fact that you go ahead threatening Maximo. Aren't you scared for your life?” he looked at her and waited for her response.

Avery held his gaze for a moment. “I want answers and I won't stop until I've gotten it.” “And are you willing to risk your life for it?” Avery batted her lashes. “You are avoiding the main question. My parents recognized you. They called you Grey. I watched the news this morning. You are Grey Fox, the new VP

of Protos Pubblicita. Why can't I remember you at all?” Grey smiled softly. “You did your assignment so well.

Avery felt her heart skip at his effortless action. “Asides, there's something else about you.” Grey sighed and went quiet for a moment. “You had an accident, you remember that right? You were going to lose your eyes.” Avery's eyes widened with shock. “I was?” Grey glanced at her and released an exasperated sigh. “You didn't even remember that? But well, I guess that's good. You probably didn't remember things that make you sad.”

“You make me feel bad?” Grey looked at Avery again. “I'm not someone you knew that close. I might have pretended to be your husband but it was only for a few days.” “And we got married?” Avery was surprised.

“Yes, because you wanted to avoid marrying a guy or something,” he lied.

Avery seemed to be believing him. So, he continued.

“That's how I came into the picture but believe me, you don't want to waste your time trying to remember me. It's of no use, I'm of no use,” he expressed in a convincing tone.

Avery blinked once, lost but totally swallowing his words, hook line, and

sinker.

“But you don't have to go around causing trouble. It's dangerous, especially in Italy. You could get yourself in danger.” Avery swallowed harder and looked away. “So, you mean nothing to me or you don't want me to know we shared something deeper?” “We shared nothing,” Grey said quickly.

Well, he wasn't lying. Avery never loved him. Throughout his stay at Lucy’s house, she only showed her hatred. So, they basically shared nothing.

Though Grey felt something for her, it was one-sided. So, it really was nothing. Material © NôvelDrama.Org.

“Then why?” She paused slightly and her lips quivered. “Then what do you say about this?” = “About what?” “Here,” she muttered softly.

The tendency in her voice forced him to look at her. Avery had a hand on her chest, her expression somewhat unfamiliar.

“Tell me the reason why I'm in so much pain.” Grey's heart widened with his shock as he reached out for her. “Where? How? Where did it hurt?” He asked innocently.

Avery looked at him. “My heart skipped several beats when you smiled.

My heart jolts in my chest whenever I see you. And I feel so much pain for no

reason!” Grey released a ‘oh’ sound and slowly backed off. He merely thought it was a physical pain.

“Then stop trying to remember anything and focus on life.” Avery caught his hand before he fully withdrew it. “No! You don't understand! I_” she stopped briefly and sucked in a breath. “If you truly meant nothing to me, how come my body reacts to you in a way I don't? How come my heart always skips a beat? And you are the only one I can't remember, the part of me that feels like it's gone, missing!” Grey eyes widened again, shock taking him as his mind settled on something Avery had feelings for him.

What was that? He definitely didn't see it coming. It just wasn't possible. How could it? Grey saw Avery hating him the more in years to come. She only does some things out of pity or fun or otherwise.

But it just wasn't possible that Avery loved him. That couldn't even happen.

“There's really something about you, Grey that makes my heart flutter. And the fact that I can't even remember anything that had happened in the past bothers me and makes me feel pain,” she explained.

Grey was still too shocked to say something. There was no way he would have imagined that Avery even felt an iota of feelings for him.

NE hie oo “I sincerely don't know why you feel that way. And, surprisingly, you do,” he told her honestly.

Avery watched him for a long time. She was taking her time to scrutinize him and she sincerely loved what she was seeing.

She was drunk but it looked like she was getting sober because of Grey, like there was something about him that ignited that heat in her.

She couldn't imagine what would happen if he was holding her tight. But her heart revealed to her, the little of it when it suddenly skipped a beat at the thought.

“Whatever you think, you should stop.

It's not going to help any of us. Let's

part ways and never meet again,” he said in a deep voice that made her heart beat even faster.
