Grey was in the office when Maria arrived. The police left after taking his statement as well.Though, he was sure that the men would refuse to confess who had sent them. They didn't need to do it anyways. Grey doesn't need it.A soft knock jerked Grey out of his thoughts. He looked up. "Yes, come in."Linda and Maria stepped inside. While Linda stood behind to close the door, Maria walked closer."Good morning boss. I came as fast as I could. I had to tell them that it was Her_," she rumbled on but was stopped when Grey gave her a hard look. She shifted slightly."Maria, I would like to keep everything confidential. If I want two people to know about it, then I would have invited them or told you about them. Things must be as it is, alright?" He demanded in a thick voice.Maria nodded briefly. She actually thought that Linda knew he was Hercules but it turned out that Grey had deceived a lot of people. And well, she doesn't want to upset him."Yes sir, I will keep that in mind," she
Chris told Avery that he wouldn't press charges. Actually, it was all a plan to get Grey. Smith and Chris had discussed it thoroughly and had come up with several plans to make Grey fail and to make Avery actually continue to request for a divorce. If she would, Smith would support her this time. So, there was no way Lucy wouldn't agree to it.So, he planned to provoke Grey and make him attack him, which he did. He faked it with the doctor to bring out fake issues concerning his health.And somehow, the plan was working as Avery was starting to see Grey as the bad guy. And the other plan about disrupting Grey's production was actually brought up by Grey.Chris' phone rang suddenly, jerking him out of his thoughts. Avery just left his place to see how he was doing and he pretended to be sick. He had the doctor's report to show for it.That aside, he had to lie to Avery that Grey had injured him earlier that day and even threatened to deal with him if he didn't stop seeing Avery. And
Jimmy nodded briefly. "Yes, she is."Grey smiled softly. Though, he was seeing Hattie's backside and didn't know what she looked like. But at least, he didn't come to the auction house in vain. Grey raised his tag. "6.7 million dollars," he announced suddenly.Everyone craned their neck backward to look at Grey. It was like they didn't expect anyone to say anything. It looked like people were intentionally keeping shut.Though, Hattie didn't turn back, including a guy in a black shirt that sat beside her."6.7million dollars for Mr. fennel.""7 million dollars!" Hattie announced quickly.Grey smiled again. Actually, it reminded him of the first day he met Aphrodite. They had to bid and he won her. Though, this time was going to be very difficult."7 million dollars for Miss Hattie," The auctioneer revealed."7.1 million dollars," Grey raised immediately.Some guys got up from somewhere and walked out of the room. Somehow, the room was suddenly getting scanty."7.1 million dollars for
The great news about the auction was that Hattie and Giovanni didn't even know who he was, which meant that the spy hadn't seen anything.Though, he was concerned about finding out who Pablo was. He needed to do it quickly before the spy found out about his identity. Grey made a mental list of people that knew about his identity to see if there was a spy among them.It turned out that Charles wasn't working against him, though he desperately wanted to see if he was really working with his father. Maybe he planned to take over his estate because he didn't say anything.Anyways, Don and Richard were loyal, including Maria. That aside, it turned out that Audrey's previous men were also loyal.So, the spy was still far from reach."I'm sorry father," Emma whispered. "I thought I could test him and see what he would do. Actually, the lady told me that he fell for it. She didn't tell me that she had initially explained to him which meant he would have fallen into the trap if Nora had not e
"What should we do, Boss? I think you need to speak with Aphrodite." She repeated anxiously.Grey thought for a moment, unable to wrap his head around what to do.He knew that David would try to do something but he didn't expect he would delete the pictures which were so bad for him."Boss," Maria called again, softly."Tell Aphrodite that we are taking a short break and I would get back to her soon. Meanwhile, gather all the executives that are present in the next room. You will be having a meeting with me as the Hercules."Maria's eyes went wide with shock. " Are you revealing yourself?"Grey shook his head slightly. "We have phones, don't we?" Maria nodded quickly, baffled somehow but she knew that Grey had plans."Do what I ask you to. Get the executive in the room and call me on my Hercules lune. Leave the rest to me," he ordered.Maria nodded briefly. " I will do that now," she assured before she walked out of the room.Grey thought for a moment. Would it be considered wickedne
Grey hung up and sipped more of his fruit juice. He decided to speak with Aphrodite as he knew that he would be so frustrated. He took a sip of the fruit juice before he walked out of the room.He walked to the changing room where he knew that Aphrodite would be. "Grey, what the fuck was that?" Aphrodite yelled suddenly at one of the makeup artists. She sounded so angry." I'm so sorry!" The makeup artist uttered, confusingly.Aphrodite was taking the frustration out of her.Grey sighed. "Novia," he called softly.Aphrodite turned back, and on seeing Grey, a smile appeared on her face. "Grey!" She called, exhausted.Grey smiled and looked at the make-up artist. "Leave us," he uttered.The makeup artist bowed slightly and walked out."How the fuck did the photos disappear?" She complained.Grey moved closer to him. " I'm sorry, Novia. It's all my fault. I'm so sorry for disturbing you," he said softly and moved to sit in front of her." I'm so frustrated. Would I have to do the shoot
The shoot was going well.Grey decided to stay throughout the session. David kept throwing daggers at Grey. "That's cool! Let's stop for a few minutes while the Aphrodite changes into something else, " Maria announced.Some of the attendants hurried to give Aphrodite a bottle of water.Grey flashed her a smile before she walked inside. Maria walked to Grey. "Here, I got a very nice one that revealed her face as well as the product. You should use this on the bus," she stretched out his phone.Grey took it and stared down at the picture. An approval smile showed on his face. "Yes, this is great. What about the one that would be on our polo?""I found one for that as well. Let me have the phone," she took the phone from him and flipped through, then she stretched it back to Grey.Grey took it and nodded. "I love this. Will I have them as hard copies by tomorrow? We will need to place some in the company."Maria nodded. " I understand and I will arrange for that. You don't have to wor
Avery watched Chloe's expression. "Is there anything you want to tell me?" Chloe sighed. " Nothing. But I just think you should sit and think about it deeply. This isn't something you can just decide on without proper thoughts."Avery shrugged slightly. " What difference does it make anyways? We all know who Grey is and how rich Chris is."Chloe moved closer as if she was scared of other people hearing what she was about to say. "Have you ever thought of the possibility of Grey being rich?"Avery stared at her, confused. " What do you mean?"" Like maybe Grey is rich but he's hiding it from you. Do you think it could be possible? Like he's someone wealthy and influential, you know anything can happen."Avery burst into laughter. " That's the funniest thing I have ever heard. Of course not! Why would I think to such an extent? Grey is wretched, poor but maybe he's managing now. It's not a day job to be influential, he has a long way to go.".It was getting even late into the night. A
