Grey stared into space, as lots of thoughts collided in his mind in some sort of crazy confusion. He was thinking of a lot of things.At first, he had to think about Naomi and the fact that she could even be part of Pablo's escort. Though, she tried to see the connection between the two.Why would Audrey hold Belle hostage but release Naomi for Pablo?Something wasn't right somewhere and he was going to find out that night.A loud knock pulled him out of his thoughts and he looked up. "Yes, come in."The door opened and Maria walked inside. "Boss, you asked of me."Grey nodded once. "I need your help. I just brought a company but I have no idea what to do with it. So, for now, I want to have it closed pending the time I would find a nice business to start," he explained.Maria's face was enveloped in a big smile. " Really? I will gladly help sir. It's no problem for me."Grey reciprocated her smile. " Thanks. You can leave whenever you are free to do so. I will give you a tip for it."
Grey stayed late at work intentionally. That aside, he couldn't stop thinking about what he was supposed to use kk corporation for.That aside, he dialed Lan's number several times but he didn't pick up. He didn't want to send a text, so he let it off.Though, he decided to try later that evening.Grey was ushered into the room with some food and drinks while he awaited the escort.Grey passed away the time with the champagne. It wasn't that he was going to spend much time there anyways. He wouldn't even take up to an hour. He only needed to find Naomi's whereabouts.It didn't take up to some minutes before the door opened and a lady walked inside, dressed in exposing clothes. She hesitated before the door and gave Grey a seducing smile before she walked inside and closed the door behind her.She moved to Grey. "You are handsome," she complimented as she drooled over him for a moment.Grey placed the cup of wine on the table and looked at the lady. "I'm not here for this. I'm here fo
Grey got down from the car with a sigh. He had decided to push the thoughts to the back of his mind. The security was complaining when Grey got down from the car but he decided to turn a deaf ear to his complaint, and instead walked into the house He collapsed on the chair, tired. Then, he remembered that he didn't have dinner and he was starving already.A maid walked out suddenly with a tray of whatever. She moved to the dining, placed the tray on the table, and turned to Grey."I made spaghetti Bolognese for you," she announced.Grey looked up, shocked for a moment. It was the first time that the maid would be making his food. Not when Smith was around. Smith had warned him severally on that and Grey wasn't ready for confrontation."You did what?" He asked, shocked. Perhaps, he heard it wrong."I made spaghetti Bolognese for you," she repeated.Grey's mouth dropped open in shock. It felt like he had entered the wrong house. Or perhaps Smith set a trap for him. He must be very car
Don ushered Grey inside and they both stared down at the phone on the table.Different thoughts were colliding in Grey's mind."You told me Lan sent you a text yesterday, right?" Don started.Grey nodded briefly. " He did and he wants us to meet. He sent the location as well."" Well," Don shrugged slightly. " This code might mean nothing. As far as we know, the message came from an unknown source. Why did you think it's from Lan?"Grey regarded Don for a moment. He was right anyways but he couldn't stop thinking something was wrong somewhere."Who sent the code then?" Grey questioned.Don shrugged again. " It could be anyone. It could be a random message."" That would come in at such a time? The timing was perfect. It looked like someone was trying to make us see something, I just don't know what. I mean it wouldn't be a coincidence." he complained.Don let out a sigh. " What should we do now?*Grey relaxed in his chair. " Give me some moments, I need to think it through. Then, we w
Lucy stepped inside his room to get ready for work. He wasn't the CEO now but he still felt the need to go to work and sometimes supervise.His eyes went to the stainless steel wristwatch that he placed carelessly by the lampstand. He disregarded it because it was an imitation.When he got home on his birthday, he saw the watch on the table and took it inside. Grey must have intentionally dropped it so he could take it.Well, Lucy wanted to be accommodating for once and decided to accept the gift even though it wasn't worth it.Well, he never expected anything from him seeing that he was just striving in the business world.Just as Lucy turned to leave, he hesitated and decided to take the watch over to his friend's store. His friend was a large wholesaler and retailer in all forms of wristwatches.Since Grey argued that the watch was real. He was going to prove it to him. And if it turned out to be an imitation, Grey would be punished for lying.So, Lucy took the wristwatch and walke
Grey couldn't stop fidgeting. Gregory hadn't gotten back to him and he had started panicking.His phone rang suddenly and he reached for it. It was Don."Hello, any news?" He probed."No, Boss but we are ready to leave. Where should we meet? Should we come over to your place or will you come here?" Don bombarded." I will meet you wherever you are, just send me the address," he hurried out of the office. Tina rushed to him. " Boss, you have an appointment soon," she reminded him.Grey waved it off. " Cancel it!" He placed a call to Gregory immediately as he entered the elevator.Gregory didn't pick up again. He decided to forget about him for that moment and instead rushed out of the company.His phone beeped and the address popped up on the phone.He drove the car out of the company at full speed. He drove towards the address that Don had sent and he soon arrived at his destination.He hurried out and saw Don and Richard in front of the car, already waiting for him. They were in a s
Just as Grey opened his mouth to say something, something dropped from above, a smoking device, and soon, everywhere was getting filled with smoke.Grey took the opportunity to rush at the man still pointing the gun at Richard and about to shoot. He hit him by the hand, then squeezed it hard so that the gun would drop from his hand.Soon, the smoke was increasing and it was getting difficult to see anything from afar. Grey knew the side that Lan was on. So, he followed his instinct and found him.Richard was beside him already, straining to see in the smoke.Fire came down suddenly, and Grey heard Don's voice, calling out to him.Instead, he looked at Richard. "Take him. I'm going to look for Naomi," he muttered and went towards the door by the right.He saw Naomi on the bed, looking unconscious as well. She was only in her underwear and he wondered what they had done to her as well.A man came out of the bathroom, clad in only trousers but he was without a gun. Grey pointed the gun a
Grey nodded briefly and turned away, as he felt a sick feeling overtake him. He didn't want to talk about it. He didn't want to give the elders unnecessary reasons to worry.Leo was dead anyways. They just needed to find the spy and make life easier for him."Who? Do you know who it was?" Alfred probed in. Rio had an accident that led to the explosion of the car. They had to bury him with the car. So, there was no way to track anything, not even go for his autopsy.That aside, the elders wouldn't want it. Why? Because even Rio forbade it for Victoria. Doing it for Rio would mean they disrespected him.Grey sighed. "I didn't see his face," he lied. Well, he believed it was the best at that time. It wasn't the best time to get everyone on edge. He would tell them at the right time.Alfred released a sigh. "This is surprising. Why didn't I think to that extent?" He looked over at Grey, noticing the change in his attitude. " Are you ok? Will you come down now?"Grey looked at him and nodd
