Secretly The Billionaire Boss

Chapter 449

Chapter 449: Seen

The door opened suddenly and Maximo's secretary walked inside.Alex stopped walking and turned around, his focus now on the secretary, the book shelf already forgotten.The secretary gaze searched around briefly.

"Yes, what is it?" Maximo demanded.

"Miss Robinson is here.She's supposed to see you this morning.But I don't know if you are ready to meet with her."

Maximo cleared his throat meaningfully.

"Let her in.I'm free at this moment to attend to her."

The secretary bowed slightly.

"Alright boss," she finished and walked out.

Maximo looked at Alex.

"You will have to leave now.As you can see, I have something else to do." Alex gave him a long stare.

"I will be watching you," he gave him the last warning before he walked out of the office.

Maximo closed his eyes briefly, while inhaling a sighing breath.

"Make sure Alex leaves this territory, before you report to me," he ordered.

The man bowed slightly.

“Yes boss," and walked out of the office.

A soft knock sounded on the door almost immediately.

"Yes, come in," Maximo invited.

The door opened softly and Avery walked inside, a bright smile on her face.

"Good morning, Mr Maximo." Maximo stood and reciprocated her smile.

"Good morning, Miss Avery. It's so nice to meet you in person." Avery laughed.

"Thank you."

Maximo gestured to the chair in front of him.

"Have your seat please."

Avery sat and watched Maximo do the same.

"Thank you so much."

"So, were you planning on getting a company here?"

"Not really," Avery shook her head briefly.

"I was thinking of a place like Seattle or Orange park.But I'm yet to make a decision.I will definitely let you know when I do," she assured.

Maximo gave her a reassuring smile and stretched out a file to her.

"Here's the sample contract.You could check it out before you sign.We could meet here later on for both partners to sign."

Avery took the sample contract and nodded once.

"I really appreciate this.Thank you so very much." Maximo nodded once.

"It's my pleasure." They both stood up.

Maximo hesitated before he stretched out his hands to her.

"Nice doing business with you."

Avery took it, with a wide smile.

"Same here."

On second thought, Maximo said, "Would you like to see Ravello with me? I mean it's one of the places that people love to see whenever they are in Italy. You shouldn't miss the opportunity," he explained, though still holding her.

Avery felt anxious.

"Sure, I heard it has great views."

"Exactly," Maximo finally released her.

"You should go there so you can confirm if what people said about it is true." Avery nodded severally.

"Alright, let's see how it goes."

"Ok, how about tomorrow morning? I'm kind of booked today and I don't know what your schedule is as well."

"Yes, tomorrow morning is perfect. Bye, Mr.Maximo," she finished and walked out.

Maximo found himself staring right behind her.

Avery was such a beauty, as the world has described her to be.His phone rang suddenly, jerking him out of his thoughts.It was one of his men, Philip.Maximo picked it up immediately.

"Yes, Philip.Has Alex left?"

"Yes, boss.He just pulled out now, with his men," Philip confirmed.

Maximo released a relieved sigh.

“Alright," he finished and hung up.

He placed a call to Grey immediately. This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.

Grey seemed to be waiting for him already, as he picked it up immediately.

"Hello, Maximo."

"Alex is gone," he announced.

"You can come over now."

"Alright, I will be there now."

Avery couldn't help but notice that Maximo was being a bit flirty.But she had heard a lot about him.

Maximo wasn't only strong but he was currently leading the mafia bosses in Italy.She knew, before she embarked on a journey to Italy, that there were more mafia bosses in Italy than there were in Jacksonville.She could still remember that there were just two main bosses in Jacksonville.

Hercules and Giovanni.

Though she knew who Giovanni was but that wasn't the case for Hercules.Hercules hid his identity until the last minute.

The news has been talking about Hercules especially after Giovanni became the new billionaire president.

The world wondered what had happened to Hercules and why he had gone into hiding like he did for ten years.

Could the man under Hercules be someone that lives the life of Jekyll and Hyde? That was the only reason why he would appear for some minutes, only to disappear again and leave the world wanting him.

But Avery hadn't really been able to go out on dates after the divorce between her and Grey.She had been so occupied with her job and she had wanted to prove it to everyone, including her grandfather and mother that she was capable.So, going on a date with Maximo wasn't such a big deal, especially when she would be leaving soon.

"Thank you so much, ma'am," the receptionist said behind Avery.

Avery glanced back and threw her a bright smile before she walked to the elevator.

Italy was fun to be in anyways if not for the danger that looms around.

But with Maximo, she could be sure that nothing would happen to her.

There was actually a lot going on in the shoe company.

Avery had noticed that something was wrong when she arrived an hour ago and saw the men in the garage.

They were mafia lords, so it wasn't entirely new if danger looms around but Avery had wanted to intervene even though she knew nothing about it all.

That was why she horned out loud and distracted the men.

And somehow, when she looked up, she saw a man hurried away.

It looked like he hesitated and mouthed a 'thank you' to her before he left or maybe it was only imaginary.

Anyways, she did it.She pressed the button and waited.

An elevator was coming up already.

Her phone rang suddenly.

It was her secretary.

She picked it up immediately.

"Hello Jones, I have the sample contract with me already.We will discuss more when I'm back in the hotel."

The elevator door opened suddenly and Avery walked inside.

Aman walked past her as she hung up.She looked at the man slightly.

He was with a hoodie but Avery still couldn't miss the familiar look on his face.But Avery didn't stop.

Maybe it was her mind that was merely playing tricks on her, she couldn't tell.But the door was closing when Avery remembered whose face she had seen.It was Grey! Fuck! There was no way she would have missed it! It was him!
