Chapter 345: Careful

"Why do you think so?" Grey demanded.

Alfred went quiet for a moment. "You know what, I will give you feedback when I got all my facts together. Don’t worry about it," he assured.

Grey nodded once. "Alright. I will talk to you later then." He finished and hung up.

A soft knock sounded on the door. "Hello, boss. This is Maria.”

Grey nodded once. "Come inside."

Maria opened the door and walked inside. "I came to submit these files," she said and submitted the files. "And to also give you feedback concerning David. But-," she hesitated. "Is everything alright?"

Grey released a sigh. "I lost someone that's like my mother."

'What!" Maria exclaimed softly. "I'm so sorry. Will you take the day off? I mean you shouldn't even be in this place at this time of the day."

Grey thought for a moment. "I think you are right. I will take the day off," he took his phone and looked up at Maria. "Let's talk later, especially about David," he told her.

Maria nodded slightly. "I understand and I’m so sorry about it."

Grey nodded once and stood up. He had a lot to ask Caramel actually. Something just happened in Seattle. Why would Beatrice die? Who could have killed her and then, Caramel didn’t respond to him just yet when he asked about the baby. Could something have happened to it?

Grey arrived home and saw Aphrodite waiting for him by her car.

He hesitated and gathered his forehead at her. He was surprised that she was standing there. Could she have seen Caramel? Maybe she had but how did she even know? She has spare keys, anyways.
