Chapter 73: Hidden treasure What mystery power does Grey have? Why did he pretend to be nobody? These questions were on Caramel’s mind as she drifted off into deep slumber this time.

Grey settled her in the back seat and decided to let her sleep. He still had some hours to spend before Avery would call him.

He relaxed in the chair and decided to take a nap as well. He was feeling exhausted and thirsty but he didn’t want to leave Caramel alone in the car.

“Grey!” A soft voice jolted him out of his slumber. He looked back at Caramel.” Did you sleep while waiting for me?” Grey nodded. “I thought we could go somewhere else and have fun,” he darted at his watch. “I still have less than an hour to spend,” he revealed. Caramel nodded, with a smile. “Let’s do that. Do you have any place in mind?”

Grey nodded once and looked away. “Let’s just go to a bar. Alfred has one close by,” he responded. “Let’s go then!” Grey started the ignition but he couldn’t help but notice how much Caramel was staring at him. He knew that she had questions but maybe she didn’t know how to frame them.

“How did you save me from Don?” She asked suddenly.

Expecting that! Grey wanted to say. Instead, he said, “Well, I made a deal with him.”

Caramel stared confusingly. “What deal?”

Grey shrugged slightly. “My salary. I promised to give him my salary. And well, the month ends today.”
