Smith's heart raced as he stared down at the laptop screen. Actually, when he saw the sale decline, his heart nearly stopped beating. He didn't know what went wrong. The sale was increasing so high that Smith knew he was eventually going to enter CCS finals.The door burst open and he didn't even know. His attention was all focused on the screen of the laptop as if a miracle would happen at that moment."Boss!" Mia screamed suddenly, jerking Smith out of his thoughts. He looked up at her, with an expression that showed how angry he was.Well, Mia turned a blind eye to it. "We have a problem, sir.""Of course! Do you think I don't know?" He snapped. "I have the fucking laptop in front of me!" He yelled.Mia stepped back in fear. "I am so sorry sir but I just need to report this to you very quickly."Smith sighed. " What is this all about?"Mia moved closer and placed her notepad in front of him. "We got this mail this morning."Smith read through and his head did a flip. " What the fu
“Sir?” David stammered, unable to bring himself to raise his head.Grey smiled softly. “Maria, I want the list of all the executives that had meetings behind my back in my office right now,” he ordered.“Yes boss,” Maria responded in a shaky voice.There was this usual aura around Grey after he was done with the transition that made her find it hard to relate with him easily as she normally does.Grey was in front of her, dressed like a trillionaire. There was no way she could treat him the same way. She had grown to fear and respect him the more.Grey entered the VIP elevator with Charles, Maria, Jimmy, and Richard.“Here they are,” Maria rendered and stretched out her notepad.Grey took it and stretched it over to Charles. “Since you employed them, you will find the best punishment for them. Though, I will be the one to punish David,” he added quickly.Charles shook his head slightly and took the notepad.“Maria should set up a meeting between all the executives that had the meeting
Alex couldn't stop thinking about it. Giovanni told him a lot of things about Hercules, especially the fact surrounding his father.But Alex could not take off something from his head. Giovanni told him the real name of Hercules. And it wasn't a coincidence that his name was the same as the Grey he knew. He couldn't suspect Grey, he didn't even want to. There was just something about him that doesn't tally. But he couldn't take his mind off him. So, he was going to find the truth out and clear the doubt."Ben!" He calls softly.Ben moved closer to him and bowed slightly. "Yes, boss." "Get prepared, I'm going to Digital world. I need to speak with Caramel."" Yes boss," and he walked out of the room.Alex needed something from Grey to conduct a DNA with sample with Giovanni. Giovanni had a sample of Rio's DNA.Caramel might not want to help him directly, so there was something in his mind already..The executives were shocked at Hercules's appearance. They didn't expect him to show
"If there's nothing else to say, then I will leave," Grey stood immediately and walked out of the meeting room with Charles and Maria.David felt speechless for a moment, even after the other executive had left."I knew it!" One had said. "We should be careful before David puts us into trouble, " they stated before they all walked out as well.David didn't know that Grey could do something so tangible. He had always thought he was useless and even senseless.Well, there was nothing to do but accept the deal. Hercules was strict and stubborn with things. He wouldn't change his mind no matter how much he pleaded. So, all he was going to do was work harder so that he wouldn't have to apologize to Grey.No matter what, Grey was still not up to his standard and would never be. He wouldn't stoop so low as apologizing to someone like Grey.."Don't forget the assignment, Maria. And let me know after you've decided."Maria nodded briefly. " I will get back to you by tomorrow."They entered th
Caramel let out a sigh. "Are you trying to use that to make me forget?"Alex shook his head slightly. " I only need to ask questions about Grey. It's not something serious. All you need to do is to answer me correctly. "Caramel regarded him for a moment. " Did your father send you here?"Alex sighed, frustrated. "No Caramel, for how long do I have to let you know some things are just coincidences and it has nothing to do with each other?" He stressed.Caramel sighed again and moved to sit. " What is this all about by the way? Why do you ask such a question about Grey? I already told he's an orphan. What else do you want to know?" She demanded.Alex sat and observed Caramel for a moment. " Who were his real parents?"The answer shocked Caramel for a moment. She was confused, though it felt like Alex was right. Caramel nor Avery knew who Grey's real parents were. But it doesn't matter and Caramel has never seen it in the way that Alex was terming it to be.Should Caramel be worried abo
The car pulled off in the garage, and Grey got down. Charles was already down as well. "Who will you like to see first?" Grey thought for a moment. "Let's have a chat with the attendant first. She seemed to be saying something the other time that got me interested," he hinted. Charles nodded briefly, " alright, follow me then," he walked forward while Grey followed behind. He entered a hallway and walked for a while as well. "Even if you refuse to employ a maid just yet, we will need someone to keep the whole place clean. You wouldn't want to leave this place dirty till you proclaim yourself as Hercules, right?" Grey sighed. " I will do something about it. I plan on seeing Linda, perhaps there are some people she can recommend. Giovanni doesn't know about her so it would be easy to get at least two maids," he explained. Charles nodded. " I will do some underground investigation on them after you have selected them." " Well, I have Jimmy for that. He seems to be skilled in those
Grey clenched his teeth against the accusations. " Did he threaten you?"Tiana shook her head briefly. "He said he would pay me $10,000," she confessed.Grey felt a stab of annoyance. " You sold your dignity for this little amount of money?"Tiana nodded briefly. " My son is suffering from Cancer. He's going to die without the appropriate surgery. He's the only one I've got and I don't want to let anything happen to him," she started crying afresh. " I'm so sorry, I really am. I'm so tired of this position! I'm so tired of having oral sex with him. It got to a point when I refused but he forced me to do it. I did it with a bullet to my head," she cried even harder." Do you deserve to die or not?" Grey asked suddenly, startling her for a moment.He watched Grey for a moment and slowly nodded. "I do, no matter how much I think about it. I think I do. I'm just worried for my son. I don't want him to die," she cried harder. " But maybe it's too late. My son only has today to live or mayb
The ropes were too tight around her and there was no way to lose it.Grey grunted and pulled away, frustrated.Tiana was still watching him in amazement. "Why are you doing this to me? Why are you helping me?"" Why am I doing it?" He smiled. " Because you will serve me wholeheartedly."Tiana started sobbing afresh. " I promise to serve you till I die, Hercules. Thank you so much! Thank you!"" And you still have to tell me all you know and I've heard, alright?"Tiana nodded quickly. " You don't need to ask me. I will not leave anything behind. I promise and I will forever serve you," she swore.Grey smiled. " Good. What's your name by the way?"" Tiana Elrod."Grey sent the names as a text message to Jimmy and added the gender since the next was Fred but he was waiting so that he could get his surname as well.Grey's phone rang suddenly and it was Don. He picked it up immediately."Hello boss, the doctor would like to speak with the mother of the kid before they start. Though, they a
