Grey got to the gym alone that morning as Richard called in sick.He has been hitting the gym for three days now with no information from Pablo but he didn't want to relent especially when the lives of his men were in danger.Grey knew they were still alive due to what Alex had told him.Actually, he had a lot to do that morning. He needed to make a voice message that shows he was in support of Victoria Skincare as the Hercules. So, Maria was coming to Beatrice's house.Then after that, he would tell Linda to proceed with letting the world know that Hercules was the second brand ambassador."Grey," Alex smiled brightly at him.Grey reciprocated it. "Good morning to you."Alex regarded him for a moment. "You are actually looking more fit than I expected, maybe it's because of your body structure. You are naturally gifted with broad shoulders," he complimented.Grey sent him a smile. " It's all due to your hard work."Alex nodded briefly. "I'm having a little party at my house in three
“So, when are you getting married to Chris? What is your preparation concerning it?” Emma bombarded. Avery woke up on the other side of the bed. She had no idea how she got home or what had happened after she drove away from Chris’ house. Her mother had been disturbing her that morning and the only thing she could feel was sadness and regrets. It wasn't until she entered her car that she discovered it was really Grey that she saw the night before. She saw the divorce papers and knew for sure that it was over for her and Grey. It was her fault anyways. She could have gotten the fact straight before making decisions. “Avery!” Emma called suddenly, dragging Avery forcefully out of her thoughts. Avery felt so horrible that morning but she still wanted to keep the company for herself. So, she managed to get herself into the company but her mother had been distracting her. “Mom, I've told you that I'm not interested. I don't want to marry Chris,” she expressed in a low voice. “Why? H
Grey waited patiently for Gregory's call. It was late already and he just got back from the gym. He didn't see Alex but he knew that the spy must have informed him of how things were going to be.Maybe that was why he was absent because he needed to sort out some things with Giovanni. All the same, Grey was going to see the face behind the mask that night.Just as Grey pulled off into one of the parking spaces, his phone rang. It was Gregory."Hi, how are things?""Good news," Gregory made a wheezy laugh. "We caught the spy on his way back. We let him deliver the wrong message before we got him. You can decide his judgment later but we are all set. We will move at your order."" One of Pablo's men would take my phone the moment I entered. There's no way I would be able to contact you," he informed." So, what do you suggest that we do?"Grey thought for a moment. " Give me twenty minutes. Storm the whole place in twenty minutes. The basement should be where my men are. You just use th
Grey wasn't really surprised but he was shocked. He had always thought it was Alex but he didn't think he could be the one, coupled with the fact that Alex referred to Giovanni as his father.Alex smiled. "Now that you've seen me, Grey. You have successfully become my right hand," he declared.Grey huffed inwardly. If only Alex knew who he was."Here," one of the men rushed back with the clothes. He stretched it out to Alex.Alex took it and stared down at it for a moment before he looked up at Grey. "No one must know about this. You are not supposed to tell anyone who the face behind Pablo is," he warned sternly.Grey managed a nod, still pretending to be surprised. Well, he was a bit surprised. To even think that Alex was who he had been looking for all these while. He intentionally started the gym to hide his identity and he did it so well. Though he had his doubts, he was always forced to think otherwise sometimes."Let's go," he told his men but they barely took a step before he
"There are lots of reporters outside the company and they wouldn't leave," Violet revealed anxiously.Maria raised skeptical brows, " what do you mean? Why are reporters here?"Violet sighed. "They want to see Hercules. There's news everywhere that Hercules is back."" What!" Maria exclaimed softly. Before she could say something else, Jones walked inside. "Miss Maria, we need to do something. The reporters are currently in the lobby. Despite how much we've managed to pull them back, they wouldn't leave without seeing the Hercules," she informed her.Maria looked at Violet. " You and Jones should prevent them from moving further. I will speak with Hercules and seek his intervention."Jones's eyes widened. " What? Hercules? Is he really back?"Maria nodded briefly. " Did you think Hercules doesn't know what happens in this company? Go now!" She urged them. She waited for a moment as the two ladies walked out before she moved out too.She hurried towards Grey's office. She knocked and
Smith didn't have to think long. He knew that it was all Alfred's doing. There was absolutely no way Grey would be where he was without Alfred's help. Mia looked up at Grey. "What did you mean by that?"Grey pulled out a seat for himself. "Hercules signed a contract with LX company and it wasn't stated that he would be liable for the two companies.""But we own both. It's joint," Mia protested.Grey shook his head slightly. " It doesn't work that way unless you want us to reamend the contract. This is a business and we get involved in a lot of deals. You don't expect us to stick with you alone."" Yes, that's right," Maria chimed in. " If you had told us this initially, we would have given you the answer. And it wasn't stated in the contract that it was both for LX and LN. So, we are not liable," she explained.Smith stared daggers at Grey. He was furious but there was nothing he could do."But Hercules was supposed to trust us and do this for us even without the contract," Smith sai
"Why didn't you tell me, Avery?" Emma asked softly. It was breakfast and as usual, the family of Robinson was all together. Emma had investigated Grey and discovered that he was truly the owner of Victoria Skincare. She didn't believe Grey could make it so fast but she remembered what Avery told her about how close Alfred was to him. But she didn't see it coming. "There was no usefulness," Avery whispered. " Tell you what?" Benjamin raised skeptical brows at Emma. When she didn't talk, he looked over at Avery. " Is something happening that I don't know about?" Emma looked at Benjamin. " Didn't you know? That Grey is the CEO of Victoria Skincare?" Benjamin's eyes went wide in shock. " You mean the fast-rising cream company?" Smith huffed. "There's nothing to be so shocked about. He's eventually going down. Do you think he's skilled in management?" " He might not but he has people working for him. And he's currently the supervisor of Protos Pubblicita. You told me that yourself.
"What!" Linda exclaimed softly beside Grey.Grey observed Hattie for a moment. Hattie was starting to act very desperately. She knew anyway that he was going to make it. Businessmen always knew when there would be a turnover."So, what do you say?" Hattie smiled softly. She was still an attractive woman even in her forties. And news had it that she had undergone different beauty treatments. "I can make you and your entire family rich," she bragged." But_," Linda started but Grey raised a hand to stop her.Hattie stretched out towards the man by her left and the cheque was given to her. She took it and tore one of it, then scribbled some names and others."Here," she stretched it out. "I didn't add any figures. You can cash out any amount you want. Consider this as your lucky day."Grey smirked, unable to believe his eyes. "Are you scared?"Hattie raised skeptical brows, as she place the cheque in front of Grey. " What do you mean by that?""Are you so scared of failing? Victoria Skin
