Secretly The Billionaire Boss

Chapter 22: The reunion

Grey decided to stay as cool as he could. It was going to be a long night anyway and he didn‘t want to make Avery sad the more that night. “Well, I‘m not working in Avery‘s company. Can we go inside? Or is this what the reunion is all about?” He asked softly.

Philip cleared his throat meaningfully, and nudge Cindy by her arm.” Let‘s go inside. Kevin is here already. We were waiting for him,” he looked past Grey.” Hi, Kevin!” Grey turned to look at Kevin. Kevin was actually the student that got all the fame and looks when they were in college. “Hi, guys!” Kevin greeted with a smile, then he looked at Grey. “I didn‘t know you would be here.”

Grey had seemed out Kevin‘s help when he was still in school but the latter disgraced him in front of his friends and Grey became the talk of the Town as usual.

Grey nodded. “Nice meeting you as well.”

“Well!” Philip clapped.” Let‘s get inside. The students have arrived already.”

They walked inside the apartment that was big enough to contain 25students. Grey didn‘t remember all of them but there were faces he could never forget because of the insults they passed across to him. Since it was always glued to him, there was no way he would forget about them.

“We weren‘t able to reach half of us,” Philip said happily.” But we are glad this happened, at least. All thanks to Kevin.”

“Yes! He volunteered to get this VIP room. Do you know how much it costs?” Cindy hyped and smiled.”

Kevin smiled shyly. “Thank you,” he moved to sit beside Cindy. He whispered into her ears and she giggled.

Grey sat beside a lady who he didn‘t even remember back in his days as a student. “I heard you‘ve been traveling all around the country?” Mitchelle directed at Cindy. Cindy nodded, pleased at herself. “Yes, I‘ve gone to ten countries in total and I‘m currently planning my trip to Paris in a few days.” “Yes, I‘m going with her this time. My family is calling over to me,” Philip explained and laughed.

“And what about you Kevin,” Cindy turned to look at Kevin. “Well,” Kevin shrugged slightly. “I’m here to stay. Oh, you guys should make an order, the bills will be on me.”

Grey smirked. He knew that Kevin was showing off as usual. “I‘m sure he‘s here to head one of his father‘s companies,” Derek said.

“Do you guys know that Kevin‘s father was ranked as being among the top richest men in the city?”

Some girls giggled.

” He‘s automatically a trillionaire. He‘s the richest,” Cindy remarked. There seemed to be some sort of chemistry going on between her and Kevin.

“Well, Hercules was ranked as the first. He‘s not the richest,” Paul muttered and adjusted his glass to look at the menu. Paul was one of those guys that think moderately even though they were rich.

“Hercules was?” Philip exclaimed softly.

“Yes, he has a lot of assets equivalent to Giovanni but his company was the ranked the first, followed by Giovanni,” Charlotte explained. “Well, Kevin is the richest here, isn‘t he?” Cindy required. Everyone mumbled but didn‘t say anything Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.

Grey chuckled slightly. No one knew he was Hercules. He wondered how they would react when they get to find out. It could take a long time but they would eventually find out the truth. And he won‘t hesitate to tell him how it feels to be rich.

“What‘s Grey laughing about?” Charlotte directed at Grey, her gaze showing her disagreement with him. “Why the fuck was he here in the first place?” “I called him over. He used to be our classmates after all,” Philip pointed out. “But he‘s not of our caliber! He‘s a disgrace. I heard he got a job as a delivery,” Charlotte pestered.

“Yes, I ordered pizza and he was the one that showed up. I gave him 5 stars anyways,” David laughed.

“You shouldn‘t have done that and let him come back severally. It would have been funny,” Charlotte laughed.

“I guess you are all checking through your menu. I think you should proceed with that,” Grey said, with an expression that showed he wasn‘t bothered with their insults which wese weird.

“Hey! Are you kidding! Are you telling us you are going to let Kevin order for you? You were never his friend!” Cindy dragged. “Yes! You should pay for your food!” Charlotte added quickly. “Yes! Do so,” Ava chimed in.

Kevin waved it off with his hand.” Don‘t worry. I will pay for it. It‘s a reunion, we should all enjoy ourselves,” he smiled.

” He‘s so sweet,” Cindy smiled. “No, let him pay. He should show us that his life hasn‘t been so miserable,” Linda laughed. “I sincerely don‘t think all that is necessary,” Giana said suddenly. Ok, Giana was defending him which was so weird. Giana has never insulted Grey but she doesn‘t defend him either.

Grey stared at her for a while and their gaze locked for a few minutes before she looked away.

“‘I think Giana is right. We should make the reunion a great one,” he announced.” That if If Grey can be grateful to me.”

“Of course!” Cindy laughed. “He will be, why won‘t he? Right, Grey?” Grey took in a deep breath as he contemplated what to do quickly.” You can make your order. I will pay for mine.” “Seriously?” Charlotte laughed.” Why don‘t you pay for ours as well?”

“I will,” he said and stood.” I will go and get my credit card.”

“Seriously? Is he kidding?” Charlotte laughed again.

“Are you out of your mind? A meal here costs a lot!” Cindy rebuked.

Grey shrugged.” You don‘t have to bother about that. I will get my credit card then,” he finished and walked out of the room.

Jayden sent his card to him through Alfred that morning and he kept it in his car.

Walking out, he decided to get himself a bottle of champagne before he proceeded with what he was about to.

Entering the bar, the first person his eyes went to was the lady beside a man in weird clothes. The guy was feeling her off and she was trying to pull him away all to no avail.

What actually made him shocked was that the lady was Avery, his wife.
