Chris felt a stab of annoyance. He had spent a lot to make sure the other antagonists were eliminated until it got to SU world. He even paid some of the workers. Who would have thought he wouldn't be winning the contract after all the stress he had gone through? Grey walked closer to him, with a smile plastered all over his face. "Hi, Chris." Chris gave him a dark frown. "You must be happy that you won the contract." Grey laughed. "Are you expecting me to be sad? Well, it felt good to realize you lost to me." Chris clenched his teeth together. "Have you forgotten? Hercules is dead. Do you think Alfred will help you forever? Especially after this recent news?" "Why don't you leave that for me? But for the meantime, enjoy the loss," he finished and walked towards Spinfluence workers. . The workers of Protos Pubblicita were also murmuring and discussing the news when Grey walked inside. A knock sounded on the door quickly. "Mr. Grey, it's Maria." "Alright, come inside," Grey in
"We got something for SU world. Talk with Jane and deposit the amount. I can't do it from my pocket because I don't want Jane to suspect me," Grey explained.Maria nodded briefly. "I understand. I will see her tomorrow about it. Is there anything I can get for you?"Grey thought for a moment. "Just get me the usual."Maria nodded briefly and stepped out.Grey's phone rang suddenly. It was Jamal. Grey regarded it for a moment and let it stop ringing, only for it to start ringing again.He didn't want to pick it up in the first place because he didn't know why he would be calling.But when the phone started ringing for the third time, Grey had no choice but to pick it up."Hello Hercules," Jamal boomed from the other side as if he was trying to check if Hercules was really alive.Grey hesitated. "Hi, Jamal. Are you calling me to confirm if the news was true or not?""Not really," He stammered. "I mean I got disturbed for a while. But yes, I wonder if it's true."Grey let out a sigh. "It
Grey felt his muscles contract as he tried to concentrate on Jane.Tina was laughing. "I didn't know he could be this weak.""Shut up! How dare you speak to your boss like that?"Jane laughed. "Don't worry, Grey. You only need to see someone. Don't worry, you will be fine," she assured in a teasing voice.Grey struggled to keep his eyes open but the more he tried, the harder it got for him and he found himself on the floor.He finally turned over so that he could be looking up at the ceiling."Don't worry," Jane walked nearer. "You will be in safe hands. Now that Hercules isn't alive, it will be best if I take sides that benefit me."Grey couldn't keep his eyes open any further and eventually succumbed to the nightmare..Jones was done speaking with Maria and also taking the tea that Tina gave to her. Actually, she told her to relax while Grey met with the representatives from Spinfluence. So, she relaxed and took her tea slowly.The door opened suddenly and Tina walked inside. "Hi J
"I don't think it's something for you to worry about. I think his plan just changed. He would definitely call you back when he gets to me," Maria suggested.Tiana shook her head briefly. "There's no fucking way I would leave like this. If something didn't happen, he would have gotten back to me," she argued softly Maria shrugged briefly. "Grey is very strong and brilliant. And I don't think you know him that much. He could have changed his mind because of one thing or the other," she revealed.Tiana huffed and turned away. "I'm not leaving here until I see Grey."Maria regarded her for a moment before she walked to her car and drove out.Tiana moved to her car and continued to watch out for Grey. She felt that something was really wrong somewhere. How could Grey have left and she didn't see him?Truly, he was the boss and could change plans at any time. He could do anyhow he seemed fit but there was something else wrong. Why would the workers lie about it?And that made it look even
“You look so surprised,” Giovanni laughed. “What am I doing here?” Gre asked in deep tones . “Am I here because I refused to withdraw from CCS?” Giovanni laughed. “You have issues to settle with me, Grey. Then you can bother about other things with Hattie.” Grey huffed. “So, I was right?” Giovanni gave a clear expression. “About what?” Grey regarded him for a moment. “Hattie is scared of losing. I mean isn’t she sure of herself?” He teased. Giovanni held a dark frown. “I need you to answer some questions or you might actually start paying for blabbing your mouth earlier, especially what you did at the auction,” he warned. Grey found himself laughing. “Oh, you were pained?” Giovanni released a sigh. “You do speak with Hercules. Have you seen him before? Is the news right?” Grey sighed. “You should be asking Jane this question. She used to be close with Hercules. Isn’t she the secretary?” “Not anymore Grey, after you came,” Jane stepped out. Grey looked up at her. “So, it’s pa
“What do we do with him?” Alex demanded.Giovanni hesitated on his way out and looked back at Grey.“He can’t leave,” Jane burst in immediately. “He saw me already. If we let him go, he would definitely tell the elders about me and they wouldn’t let me off so easily,” she complained.Alex nodded briefly. “Yes, that’s right. That aside, I find it hard to think of the reason why he was trying to move close to me when he was working with Hercules' men.”“Well, he obviously wanted to uncover your identity which he succeeded. He’s very dangerous as Jane has said. So, kill him,” Giovanni decided before he stepped out.Alex looked at Grey for a moment before he followed Giovani. “Should we just kill him?”“An accidental death. We have to make it look like he killed himself.”“What?” Alex raised skeptical brows. Giovanni stopped to look at him. “Grey killed himself because he felt guilty about impersonating Hercules. He wasn’t threatened but when the news came out, he decided to end his life
Leo couldn't stop pacing. He felt restless, not after what he heard about Grey.He walked to the living room and saw that Alfred wasn't back. It could mean that Grey might be in severe danger. The thought of it increased his heart beat.Actually, Leo remembered everything. He was just scared of letting Grey know the truth. He felt guilty anyways, that was why he stood off all these years. He couldn't bring himself to face Grey and tell him the truth.But if something really did happen to Grey, what would be his existence in life? And would Grey ever forgive him if he kept shut about it and pretended he didn't remember anything?He hit his head several times as the front door opened. He stopped and looked ahead as Alfred walked inside, followed closely by Charles and Grey and a lady he didn't seem to recognize.Grey hesitated to look at Leo. “Is he,” he turned toward Alfred. “_alright?”Alfred nodded briefly as he pulled out his phone to call a doctor.“Any first aid box? He won't stop
Grey was shocked for a moment. He couldn’t believe it. “Lawrence sent you guys to kill me?”“Yes because you are the only one preventing him from getting a contract with Protos Pubblicita. Why do you have to do something like that? You aren’t even the owner of the company. You are just a mere worker. And when you are gone, he will eventually get what he wants,” the man explained.Grey smiled softly. He didn’t think that Lawrence would result in something so dirty and that he was really going to destroy him finally.“Hey!” The man yelled again. “Why are you smiling? What’s so funny!” The facial expression changed as he raised his hand to hit Grey’s face but Grey caught it quickly, squeezed it, and kicked him by the leg.A cry of horror escaped him as the other men rushed towards Grey.Grey dodged a punch and gave the closer man an uppercut. He kicked another one and rushed punches to the closer men.Within minutes, they were all lying on the floor and groaning.“Now send this to Lawren
