Maria didn't even want to believe it. Or maybe she was wrong but the facts were staring right at her.If Grey was really Hercules, it was the only way to explain the sudden promotion that she got.But she didn't want to accept it until she had the fact staring right at her in the face. Or she had Grey accept the claim.Jane was saying something but Maria wasn't listening. She opened the door immediately and got out. She hurried back to the company.She got the direction of Grey's office from Carol. The company was a spacious one and one could get lost in it.Eventually, Maria arrived in front of Grey's office. She let out a deep sigh and tried to stabilize her breathing.No way, she was feeling very excited. What if she was right? She didn't even want to imagine what that would mean for her.She knocked on the door slightly. "Mr. Grey, it's Maria.""Yes, come in," came the deep voice.Maria took another breath. The question that was going to reveal Grey's identity was simple. She was
Smith was going through some files at LX corporation when a soft knock sounded on his door. "Yes, come in," he didn't look up as he invited whoesver was on the other side of the door. The door opened and Smith's assistant walked inside. "We've received a message from Protos Pubblicita about a change of staff," she revealed. Smith looked up eventually. " A change of staff? Who can that be?" "Jane, sir. She has been dismissed from her position." Smith's eyes went wide with shock. " Just like that?" Well, changing and dismissing was the easiest thing in business. " Yes sir but the new secretary wants us to meet by tomorrow. Hopefully, another shoot would come up in three days later, depending on how fast the new secretary is," she informed. Smith nodded once as he thought about it. Jane was uncontrollable for him and he wondered if the new secretary would be the same. Well, he was determined to try his luck with her. The new secretary might cooperate with him and that would mea
The meeting ended well and both parties were already familiar with each other. Avery was specifically happy about it as Jane was arrogant and she didn't like her but Maria seemed very much better. Just as the team stepped out, Smith stayed back. Instead, he moved closer to Maria. "May I have a chat with you, ma'am?" Thanks to Maria, he was finally able to attend the meeting. Perhaps Jane just hated him and it wasn't even Hercules's order. What she didn't know was that Grey forgot to give Maria the order. Maria nodded briefly. "That's very fine." Avery looked back at Smith and wondered what he was up to. Though, she knew it always wasn't something good. She would have waited but she needed to visit Emma at her private house. Her mother didn't come home the night before and she wasn't picking up her calls. She understood the fact that she wanted to make her divorce Grey. Though, she agreed with her grandfather about the fact that she went too far but Avery was starting to be worr
The breakfast was weird that morning. No one was talking. Everyone ate in silence.Smith couldn't stop staring at Grey. He got to KK corporation the day earlier and discovered that Grey had done some adjustments. He was really going to make use of the company.The funniest thing was that he was getting into the same business-like as them.Smith couldn't believe it at first until he saw the evidence staring right in his face. Grey was even going to start production soon. When Smith questioned Linda about the name of the creams, she refused to say it. It seemed like she had changed her loyalty. Well, typical of her.Avery however was thinking about the lies that her mother had cooked up earlier because of Grey and the fact that she was reluctant to come home, and was still trying to make Avery see sense in what she did.However, Avery didn't know if she wanted it or not."Avery, where's your mother?" Lucy was just so tired of the silence and the fact that Emma had refused to come home.
Chris had to see Smith immediately. He knew he had to curb Grey quickly. He had to do all he could to make sure he was useless in the fight against him.But he was very confused, he didn't know how Grey was getting such a promotion and was quickly accelerating. He needed to ask Smith about everything.There was no way he would be able to deal with Grey unless he knew more about him.So, he drove right to LX corporation. He knew that Smith had taken over the company. He arrived at the company in no time and entered the lobby.Just before he would speak with the receptionist, Smith emerged from within as if he knew that Chris was coming."Oh, Chris. What are you doing here?" "I'm here to speak with you. Can we have some moments to ourselves?"Smith regarded him for a moment before he nodded towards the direction of his office. "Let's go then," he turned to look at the receptionist. " Get me the copy of the file I requested earlier. I what it faster."" Alright, sir."" Let's go," Smith
Giovanni has been asking Jane for some information about Grey but she has been reluctant to share.Actually, Jane met Giovanni at a birthday party and since then, the two have been a bit closer to each other.Jane didn't know if Giovanni liked her genuinely but she wasn't ready to place business and personal matters at the same level. So, she had never given out anything concerning Gio.But that was exactly what she was going to do. It was going to be a payback at Hercules that lost a loyal worker."So, Jane. It's rare actually that you would want to see me like this," Giovanni smiled softly. Even at sixty, he was still a good-looking man. Sometimes, Jane would wonder how handsome he must have looked when he was very young."Actually, I wanted to tell you something. It's a positive response to what you've been asking for me," she revealed.Giovanni gave her confused brows. " Seriously? What can that be?"Jane closed her eyes for another moment as she berated herself. Was she supposed
Grey let out a low rumble of laughter as he watched Kanye."Seriously?" There was a twist on his lips as he watched Kanye."What? You won't do it?" Kanye was enraged the more." Well, the guy is stubborn," Chloe remarked." I'm going to count 1-3 for you to do what the pretty lady just asked or you will regret every time that you have spent on this Earth," he threatened in a thick voice.Grey ignored him, not really interested in his threats or what he could actually do. He wouldn't be there anyways if the elders didn't insist on meeting that night. Grey was very tired. Well, he had always been tired these days. All he wanted to do was go home to sleep."_3!" Kanye finished counting. Grey didn't even know when he started. Anyways, his eyes almost turned red with furry and he raised his hand towards Grey's cheek.Suddenly, his hand was suspended in the air. A hand was suddenly preventing it from going down.Kanye and Grey craned their necks to look at Gregory. There was a dark frown on
"If you are not ready to do that, I will leave then," Grey announced suddenly.Chloe let out a sigh and suddenly went to her knees. "Grandfather."Grey smiled. "Good," he looked at Kanye. "Don't do anything. Keep everything you discussed a secret."Kanye nodded briefly. " Alright boss," and he walked away, not after eyeing Chloe.Grey turned to regard Chloe for another moment. "Don't tell Avery all this or I will come back for you," he threatened in a deep voice.Chloe nodded slightly. " I won't," she stood up slowly and watched Grey walk inside one of the rooms with the rest of the men.Shock kept Chloe motionless for a few minutes. She had not expected that Grey was someone important and rich. Well, ur was the only reason that these people were calling her a master.To even know he knew someone like Aphrodite amazed her. Aphrodite was a popular and classy lady. You might have her membership card and you still wouldn't have seen her. And the question was, who Grey really was and why
