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.

Caramel nodded, with a smile. “Let’s do that. Do you have any place in mind?”

Caramel stared confusingly. “What deal?”

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