Chapter 448

: On whim?

Grey was fuming when he arrived at the floor where Maximo's office was.

There were two security men in front of his office.Grey moved closer nonetheless.

"Who are you?"

One of the men asked as they tried to stop Grey from entering.

Grey ignored them and made towards the door.

One of the men caught him by the hand and made to punch him with the other one.But Grey dodged it
and gave him a blow in the mouth.

The man staggered back and vomited blood.

Grey had this dark frown on his face as he turned towards the second man.He backed away briefly,
now seeing his face and remembering that Grey was friends with Maximo.

"You can go in," he said hurriedly, with a shaking voice.

Well, he remembered that Grey had defeated Maximo in a fight.So, he would be no match for him.

Fighting him would be useless.

Grey clenched his fist angrily, ready to smash anyone that dared him.He stomped inside.

Maximo stood up quickly when the door opened.He regarded Grey for a moment.

"Grey? I thought you left already."



"You thought I left?" Grey yelled in anger.

"What the fuck are you planning, Maximo?" Maximo raised confused brows.

"What do you mean?" Grey didn't answer immediately.

Instead, he took three long strides towards him until they were standing so close to each other, only a
hairbreadth away.

"Start talking, Maximo.I might be in your country but I know what I can do.Don't dare me!" He warned.

"Don't threaten me, Grey.I don't understand you.You can do me a favor by making me understand.I'm
totally lost at this point," he regarded him for a moment and slowly let go of his hands on him.

"Don't handle me like that, Grey.I'm not someone you can control.And if something happens to me in
this company, you won't get out easily." Grey eyes went wide with awe.

"Seriously? Is that supposed to be a threat?"

"No," Maximo shook his head briefly.

"I'm just trying to let you know.Instead, you can sit, and let's talk this out," he sat and looked up at him.

"Or do you suppose we fight it out?" Grey released an exasperated sigh.

"Why don't you start with the reason why Alex is here? You guys seem closer than you told me," he
uttered.

"Why don't you explain your relationship? Because the last time I checked, he was supposed to be one
of our opposition," he stressed.

Maximo looked away, and his mouth formed a tactical line in the admission of a tactical error.



"Or why don't you tell me why Alex's men are in the garage? Or have you told them the truth? That I'm
alive and in Italy?"Maximo looked at him and shook his head briefly.

"No, such a thing didn't happen.I didn't tell him that," he protested.

Grey gathered his forehead at him.

"Then what did you discuss?"

"It's a long story," Maximo muttered.

"Why don't you start telling me about it?"

A soft knock sounded on the door and one of Maximo's men rushed inside.He turned out to be the one
that told Grey to enter the other day.

"Boss, Mr.Alex is on the way here right now."

Grey looked up at him, unable to believe his ears.

"What did you just say?"

"Yes, he's on the way.In fact, he's going to be here any minute."

Grey looked back at Maximo.At this moment, he was too angry to even believe Maximo.

"What can you say at this moment? What is your explanation? Alex is supposed to have left.Why is he
lagging around?"

Grey couldn't keep the anger in.He knew there was something that Maximo wasn't telling him.

There was something Alex knew.It was why he refused to leave the company.



And at that moment, Grey didn't even trust Maximo again.

"I didn't tell Alex anything, I swear! We've been together since you entered and I haven't even been
chanced to take my phone," he explained.

Grey huffed.

"You must think I am a fool! You could have told one of your men!" Maximo stood.

"I didn't! Believe me this once! I promise to get to the root of the matter."Grey regarded him for a
moment.

"Why should I believe you at this moment?"

"Because I'm after Italian best interest.We are getting the award for this year and you are helping us,"
his voice was pleading.

Grey watched him for a moment and saw the sincerity on his face.

"Come over here," he said hurriedly and moved towards the shelf.

He took a book and pulled at a switch.

A door appeared suddenly. He looked at Grey.

"Come over here if you don't want him to meet you here!" He said urgently.

Grey found himself inhaling severally before he moved closer to him.

"This will lead you to an office on the second floor.You can choose to stay there till everything is
settled.I will call you when he leaves, " he explained.



Grey stared at Maximo for a moment.

"I will trust you this last time," he finished and entered the mini-elevator.

Just as the shelf closed, the door opened violently and Alex strode in.

"What are you doing here again? I thought you left?" Maximo feigned innocence.

Alex didn't answer as his gaze searched around quickly for a place where someone could hide.

"Who was in this room with you before T arrived?"

Maximo regarded him for a moment.

"What are you doing? There's no one here, except for my guard," he explained, "Do you want me to
report to Jacksonville police that you are here?"

Alex laughed.

"I'm sure you wouldn't dare.You are not my match, Maximo.Just remember that.Even your brother,
Mattee wasn't my match."Maximo clenched his teeth in anger.He wanted to say more but he bit it in
and decided to stay quiet.

Alex watched Maximo for a moment.

"I will be back," he uttered and turned to leave.

He stopped almost immediately and turned around again.His eyes went to the bookshelf.

Maximo traced his eyes toward the shelf and his heart skipped several beats.He wasn't able to fit the
book in its place before Alex opened the door.



At this moment, the switch was easily visible for all to see.And Alex could have seen the switch.

"You should leave now," Maximo said hurriedly.

Alex ignored him and started moving towards the shelf.Maximo didn't know if he was supposed to
message Grey and inform him of the danger.But was there a way he could do that without Alex
knowing? Truly, it looked like Alex knows something but he wasn't the one that told him.
