Chapter 485: The Root

Avery got to the restaurant five minutes earlier because she had some investigation to do.

In fact, she offered to pay the stylist her one month’s salary if she could help her identify Grey.

The stylist was a citizen of Italy and knew all the mafia lords there or anyone who was in any position in Italy.

“Here, stay here.He’s going to come in anytime from now.Just stay focused and identify him for me.Is that alright?”

The stylist nodded once.

“You don’t have to worry about that actually.I will do this,” she assured as she downed her vodka slowly.

Avery released a sigh and moved away from her.She found a nice place to settle in and waited for Derek.It didn’t take up to five minutes when Grey walked inside.

Clad in black jeans trousers and a t-shirt, he almost took Avery’s breath away.She knew actually, on the first day that there were a lot of weird things about Derek but she thought it was because he looked so much like Grey.She didn’t want to believe there were more.

And even now, she was scared of what she would find.

Avery met him halfway, probably to convince the stylist who she should look out for.

“I thought you were going to change your mind for a moment.” Grey huffed.

“I told you that I don’t go back on my words.Let’s sit,” he moved towards the table that Avery had been sitting at when he walked inside.He gestured at the waiter and the menu was brought over.

“I will say that we don’t do this often.I’m a busy man too, you know?” Avery nodded once.

“I understand.I will keep that in mind,” she went through the menu quickly.

“Actually, I would like to ask you some questions.I don’t know if you will be kind enough to answer me honestly.”

Grey placed the menu on the table beside him, folded his arms and on the table and looked at Avery.
