When Grey drove into the front yard, Beatrice was smiling. She was so happy and somehow, her lips were getting used to it.Grey wondered what Beatrice must have gone through all the years, especially with the loss of her son. Nothing could replace his place in her heart but he would try his best. He owed her for keeping his mother's recipe saved anyways."I should hand over the box to you," Beatrice started.Grey nodded briefly and assisted her with bags of clothes. "We will talk about the new company while at it."Beatrice smiled. "I will make us something.""Yes, change into something nice and make us something nice," Grey teased.Beatrice laughed. " Now you have a sense of humor. You were always so serious then," she commented and took a bag of clothes before she walked inside.Grey hesitated for a moment as the word sank in. He wondered if his mother knew that his father was a mafia Lord. He was so young, maybe that was why he didn't know about it.Instead, he had almost hated his
Grey got home earlier that day, as he didn't bother returning to work.After he left Beatrice's place, he placed a call to Gregory and asked him about a nice car for Beatrice and he promised to get it delivered to her that evening."It wasn't funny, but I laughed," Chloe laughed.Grey heard Chloe's voice as he stepped inside, only to realize that Chloe and Avery were inside the house already. And they were chatting."And he finally rose in," Chloe said dramatically when she saw Grey, there was a smirk on her face.Avery looked up, with surprising features. She must be shocked that Grey came home earlier."Hi," Grey whispered and walked inside.He knew as he walked in, that Chloe was saying nasty things about him but he didn't care. He was more than tired and he needed to sleep.His phone rang suddenly, the number unknown but Grey picked it up anyways."Hello boss, this is Jimmy," the voice revealed."Oh, yes. Do you have anything for me?"" Yes, Boss. I've gotten what you asked of me.
Grey suppressed a laugh. *Alright, thank you, Jane. I will do something about it." " Make it snappy, Boss. The likes of Grey shouldn't be allowed to ruin your reputation," she suggested. Grey smiled softly. " Alright." And he hung up. He hesitated for a moment and his smile widened. What would Jane do if she discovered that Grey was actually the Hercules she spoke to? Anyways, he knew what to do. And he couldn't wait to behold her face when she discovered it. Grey was ready to take everything to a next level. He would give everyone back what they had given him. And well, an act of revenge in cover was the best because no one would know what had hit them until it had happened. It was just exactly what had happened with Seth. Grey pulled up in front of the hospital. When he walked inside the room, he saw Belle speaking with Naomi and relief overwhelmed him. He was glad that he didn't lose Naomi as well. "Boss," Lan called softly, a smile playing on his face. Belle turned around
A soft knock sounded on the door suddenly. Grey turned to look at who it was. It was Richard and so, Grey signaled for him to enter the car.He turned toward Jimmy again. “What about the other thing I asked for?”Jimmy pulled out a piece of paper. “Here,” he stretched it out to him.Grey took it and placed it in the safe. “I will check it later. Work starts tomorrow,” he revealed.Jimmy nodded briefly. “I will be on my best behavior, “ he assured.Grey smiled. “I will see you later then. Did you add the numbers of these guys? They would need to come to the office with their credentials,” he explained.Jimmy nodded once. “I understand and I placed them together,” he assured.Grey smiled. “Tomorrow morning then,” he finished and gathered the files together. “Richard should come to the passenger seat,” he offered.Jimmy bowed slightly. “Goodbye boss,” he got down and walked away.Richard swallowed harder before he got down and walked to the passenger side. He knew what Grey was going to
"Alright, no problem. I will see you after work," Grey assured."Thank you so much, Grey," she appreciated and hung up.Grey let out a sigh and drove to KK corporation. Linda was already waiting for him."Good morning, I came as earlier as I could. Is there something you want me to do for you?"Grey nodded once as he started inside the lobby while Linda followed."We are starting this business immediately," he stopped to give her a short scrutiny. " We need to employ new staffs and we need a change of name."Linda was happy at the news. Atleast, it means she would resume work soon."So, what will this company be about?""A cream company and I will make you as the project manager. The creative manager would resume soon. She's on with the ingredients for the creams. You know what your job will entail already."Linda nodded once. " I will prepare everything for you. Will you like to conduct the interview?"Grey thought for a moment before he slowly shook his head. "No,you can do that. I
Avery stared at the bag of money for a moment, with brows drawn together.A soft knock sounded on the door and Avery rushed forward. She opened the door and let Chloe inside."Thanks for coming," she made sure that the door was locked so that no one would be able to enter.Chloe regarded her for a moment. "What's wrong? Did something happen?"Avery sighed and moved to sit. "I told you about Thomas? Thomas wanted to date me but I disagreed. Then, he pulled back. He used to be one of our wealthy investors," she explained.Chloe gathered her brows. " And why did you reject him? I mean, isn't he better than Grey? At least, he's rich. Grey has nothing. I wouldn't leave someone like Thomas for Grey," she declared.Avery thought for a moment. " That's because you don't know who Thomas really is. He's the most selfish man I have ever known. I can't fall for someone like him. There's absolutely no way things would work well for us both," she revealed.Chloe hissed. " Grey has a bad attitude bu
"Should I let them do their work? Or am I supposed to call them?" Grey inquired as they settled down. He brought Aphrodite to a nearby restaurant.They were in a VIP suite, so they had the chance to discuss anything without getting spied on.Aphrodite took from the Cajun Shrimp and Chicken pasta in front of her and chewed silently. "I think we should let them do their work. Even if you would be calling, then I think the elders should be aware. They should decide if you should go for it or not, "she advised.Grey regarded her for a moment. " Isn't this my inheritance? Why do I have to involve the elders?"Aphrodite looked up. " Because it doesn't only have to do with the shoe companies. There are other mafia bosses involved in it. You do know that Italy is the home of the mafia. And I guess your father hailed from there, " she hinted." How many shareholders?"" I think three. However, Hercules has spread beyond. So, if you are really in partnership with these people, you would easily
Grey left the restaurant early as Beatrice called him that she was on her way to SU world.Aphrodite seemed tired anyways so she used the opportunity to retire to bed earlier.The telephone rang suddenly and Grey picked it up. "Hello, boss. There's someone here to see you," Tina announced. "She said she's Miss Beatrice," she added quickly."Alright, tell her to come in," Grey responded and the phone went off.The door opened a few minutes later and Beatrice walked inside. "Grey," she called happily.Grey stood and met her halfway. "I hope you aren't so exhausted?"Beatrice smiled. "A little but I need to give you feedback before I go home to rest."Grey regarded her for a moment and noted the happy expression. "You looked happy. Is everything alright?"Beatrice nodded briefly. " I got all the wildflowers. Fortunately for me, I also got the ingredients. Though, not all. We have to book some but since I don't have any money on me, I was unable to do it," she revealed.Grey hit his fore
