Just as the conference call was about to start, a soft knock sounded on the door.Grey groaned and stood to open the door. Tina was at the door."I'm sorry for disturbing you but I had to remind you of the meeting. It's 2 already and the investors have arrived," she revealed.Grey nodded once. " Yes, I remember. I will be off soon. Let them know I'm on my way," he muttered."Alright," she nodded as well and walked away.Grey locked the door again before he moved back to his seat.Finally, he started the conference call."Hello, Hercules. It's a pleasure to be on a conference call with you," Joe uttered, with a hint of happiness." Yes, I was surprised when Janet told me you would like to have a conference call with us. It's a pleasure," Andrew laughed." Yes, I'm so glad that you have me as an audience," Grey started. " I really need your help."" Really? What could it be?" Gaius inquired. " We will gladly help."Grey smiled. " I'm so glad for that reception. Anyways, I will get strai
"Wow! How did you convince them, Boss?" Liam asked, surprised. There was a big smile on his face.Maria regarded Grey for a moment. "I knew he had a perfect plan. We don't need to ask how he did it, as far as everything is moving accordingly," she rescued Grey.Grey gave her a nice smile. " She's right. Well, so our investors are back. We should proceed with our daily affairs."" Did you tell Hercules about the situation here?" Liam inquired suddenly.Grey watched him for a moment. "No, why should I? And only Jane has access to Hercules. I'm just a manager of SU world," he explained.Maria nodded. " Yes, do you know the type of people Hercules speaks with? I'm sure we are not in his league," Maria pointed out.Grey laughed at this. To think he was the Hercules they were talking about.Liam nodded. " I will go back to work then, even though I feel like we need to celebrate our success," he suggested with a smile.Grey observed him for a moment and slowly shook his head. "I don't think
It was impossible, could the death have come alive?Grey found it strange to even imagine it. Alas! Behold, it was Leo, Charles' father.Were his eyes playing tricks on him? Even after he closed and opened his eyes, he saw the man as he turned around and started towards the elevator.Grey hurried closer to him. If it was true and Leo was alive, then, he must speak with him. He must ask him why he killed his father and attempted to take his life as well.One of the maids pulling a serving tray rushed out from the room beside Grey, obstructing him for a moment. When Grey reached the elevator, he saw that Leo had taken the ride to the last floor.Greg rushed to the second elevator as well. His heart was thumping madly in his chest.He made a calculation, a hard thought at why Leo would be alive and the elders wouldn't know about it.Alfred told him that he died in the accident. Even though, he knew that it wasn't an accident and something fishy was actually happening somewhere.Damn, he
Charles stood in shock for a moment, unable to believe the question that Grey was asking him."Who the fuck are you asking for? My father?"Grey felt a stab of annoyance. " You heard me clearly, Charles. I'm not going to repeat myself. Where is your father? Is he in? Where have you been hiding him?" His deep voice rang through the night, leaving an echo.Grey's fist clenched even harder, anger fueled him up.Charles chuckled. "You are not making any sense, Grey. My father is dead."" Is that supposed to be a tease or a lie? I know you are hiding him and it will be the best for you if you let him out of that door!" He muttered.Charles regarded him for another moment. "I don't even know what you are talking about. Why are you asking about my dead father?" He inquired with confused brows.Grey advanced closer, taking Charles by the collar and pulling him back until his back was against the wall.Four men emerged from behind the flower suddenly. Clad in black suits, they stepped closer t
Grey turned away from him immediately and suppressed the emotion building up in him. “Like you’ve said the other day, I did enjoy your wealth, I won’t deny it. Maybe it’s time I die. I mean what’s the essence? How could I live with the truth anyways? But one thing I won’t take is the fact that my father is truly dead. I saw his corpse. Even though he was burnt beyond recognition, I knew it was him,” he explained.Grey sighed again and rubbed his face in frustration. Maybe it was true. Grey could have seen the wrong person. There was no valid reason as to why Leo would be alive.He turned to look at Charles still on his knees. For a reason unknown to him, he wanted to believe him, just as he had believed Lan even though there were lots of possibilities why he shouldn’t.Should he follow his instincts? Well, he had always done so.“Get up,” he muttered.Charles got up slowly. “What are you going to do to me?” He looked up at him, his face hard with expression.Grey released a sigh. “I’
“You think I care?” Smith spat out, his eyes almost glowing. “And lemme warn you this last time. If you and your useless husband love yourself, never meddle with me ever again!” He warned sternly.“Are you like this because grandfather isn’t around?” Avery accused.Smith regarded them for a moment before he walked out of the house in anger.Avery took in a deep breath and looked up at Grey, a bit touched by his action.“Are you alright?” She sounded worried.Grey nodded once. “I’m fine,” he lied and moved towards the room.Three maids rushed inside.Avery regarded them for a moment before she went for the first aid box. She didn’t know how much damage the chocolate had done to Grey but she knew that he was just lying about being fine.It was her fault anyways. And if Grey hadn’t hugged her, she wondered where the chocolate would have spilled on.When she walked inside the room, Grey was staring in the mirror and the shirt was still on him.“Are you truly ok?” Avery hesitated by the do
Grey regarded the Robinson family for a moment before he picked his fork. Spaghetti Bolognese was served.Avery looked at Grey, remembering what he did for her the previous night. No matter how hard she tried, she couldn't stop thinking about it."Are you alright, Avery?" Emma demanded, her gaze hovering over her for a moment." Yes, mom. It's actually_," she trailed off, looking over at Smith with icy eyes.Smith smiled softly as if daring her to speak up."So, how was the appointment with Protos Pubblicita?" Lucy brought up suddenly, interrupting Avery from what she was about to say."Fine," Avery responded quickly. "We decided to bring in a model from our side. And we settled on Chloe," she announced.Smith's gaze shot up. " Behind me? How could you decide on that alone?" His angry voice boomed.Lucy looked at him, confused. " What do you mean by that? Weren't you present at the meeting? Didn't you discuss it together?"Smith sighed and hesitated. " Hercules didn't allow it. Jane m
Grey barely pulled to a stop in front of Don's house when Don and Richard hopped in. "Good afternoon Boss," they chorused at the same time.Don sat in the passenger's seat while Richard took the back seat."Do you want me to drive?" Richard offered.Grey shook his head and pulled out of the parkway in a rough way that Richard almost knocked his head at the front seat."That's rough, Boss," Richard complained."Seat belt, Richard. Why are there seatbelts?" Richard muttered. He was in fact in a hurry to meet with Lan.The message Lan sent the day before indicated that they had just a few minutes to speak and he didn't want to waste time."So, start talking to Don," he urged."Ok, we have good news and bad news. Which one would you like to hear first?" Don jibed." Goodnews should come first.""So, Audrey's family isn't in the city. In fact, most people thought he had no family. Guess what?" Don said excitedly. " I realized he's trying to keep his family off his dirty business," he reve
