"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
Grey stared at the invite. “It’s happening so soon. Why wasn’t I informed beforehand?” “The members didn’t know who you were and you haven’t been active in the society,” Aphrodite responded and took her wine cup for a sip. “Alfred wouldn’t mention you because he was protecting you but since it’s turning this way, I’m guessing we need to use it to our benefit,” she suggested. Grey looked at her for a moment. “Is there a way I can partake in this without reviewing my face?” Aphrodite shook her head. “I think it’s high time you came out. But If you will really be accepting the title of the billionaire boss, then you will need to finally reveal what yourself to the world,” she regarded him for a moment. “Though, I think it’s a bad choice.” Grey grunted and sat well. After he left Victoria Skincare that morning, he picked up the invite from Maria and had been thinking of the right thing to do. Gregory called him to advise him not to go. He was really worried but Grey knew why Alfred w
Before Grey could actually think, he was already responding, kissing Caramel as he had always wanted. Well, he had this pent-up desire for her. When Grey finally regained his composure and pulled back, a smile was tugging at Caramel's mouth before she lost consciousness again. The door opened suddenly, and the security guard walked out. “Boss, is everything alright?” Grey nodded briefly and scooped Caramel up. “ Take the car inside," he ordered and walked inside, with Caramel in his arms. Caramel didn't wake up again until he had safely placed her on the bed. She mumbled inaudibly as Grey pulled the blanket around her, while wondering what had really made her drink up. He had never seen Caramel so sad and driven by something. The moment he walked out of the room, he almost collided with Beatrice. "Is that Caramel?" She asked anxiously. Grey nodded and closed the door. " She came here drunk but she's currently sleeping. You can check on her tomorrow morning." Beatrice nodded bri
David felt very annoyed but he was secretly planning on how to go about it with Hercules. He would show Grey how much power he had. When he succeeded in winning Hercules to his side, it would be easy to eliminate Grey out of his way."I respect your decision a lot, Grey but have you thought it through before deciding to meet with Mr. Jamal?" Alfred asked. He sat in the back seat with Grey while Saint drove the car.Grey stared out through the window thoughtfully. "I've thought it through. Jamal is the only one that can help me out. And to seek his help would mean I would have to expose my identity to him," he explained." Yes but what if Jamal is working with Giovanni?"Grey looked at Alfred for a moment, the question sinking in very faster. "I will use my influence on him. Jimmy did some research and discovered that his only son looked forward to working with one of the Italian shoe companies in Italy." He said briefly, expecting Alfred to grasp the rest.Alfred regarded him for a mo
Jamal thought for a moment and slowly nodded, "I will do anything to help you."Alfred let out a relieved sigh.Grey nodded briefly, satisfied. "The only thing I need your assistance with is preventing the members from insisting on seeing my face, I will handle the rest."Jamal nodded once. " You must be present on the party day. I will wall you in as the new Billionaire president. You should be assured of all other things," he promised.Grey smiled and stood quickly. Jamal did the same as well. " It was nice meeting you, Mr. Jamal," he stretched out for another handshake which Jamal accepted.Jamal let out a smile. "The pleasure is all mine. I hope we will meet often after today."Grey smiled. "As you wish. I'm actually involved in some things but we should see very often."Jamal smiled even wider. " I'm so glad about this meeting, I really am."" Thanks for giving me such an opportunity."" Well," Jamal shrugged slightly. " You are a well-known personality in society. So, I was plea
