Grey got dressed in Dormeiul Vanquish Ii Suit and regarded himself in the mirror. He smiled at who was staring back at him in the mirror.His phone rang suddenly and he moved away to grab it. It was Aphrodite but it stopped ringing before he could pick it up.He was thinking of calling her back when a loud knock sounded on his door.Grey turned towards the door with raised brows and angry features. Who would be knocking at his door at that moment?"Are you going to open this door or should I burst it out!" A deep familiar voice said suddenly.Before Grey could react, the door opened and Charles stick his head inside with a smile.Grey smiled. "Charles!" "What! Were you expecting someone else?" Charles joked and stepped inside.Grey ignored his remark and moved forward to hug him. Charles was in Brioni Vanquish Ii Suit, a suit that looked as though it was tailored for him."I've missed you so much, man!"Grey hit his back slightly.Charles laughed. "Same here," he pulled back and looke
Grey, Charles, and Aphrodite got down from the car. Grey put on his face mask before getting down.They walked towards the entrance which was guarded by two hefty and strong-looking men."There were men before them. So, they had to wait as the security guards took the invites before they allowed them inside.Grey brought out the two invites and stretched them out to one of the men. Charles gave out his as well.One of the men regarded Grey for a moment. "Who are you and why do you use a nose mask?""He's Hercules," Charles revealed.The guy's eyes twitched but they were gone from his eyes as quickly as they had started. Instead, he stepped aside for them to enter.Grey, Aphrodite, and Charles entered the spacious hall and realised that it was almost filled up. And the auction has already started.Aphrodite did tell him that only a few do attend the auction but seeing how many people were, Grey was shocked.They walked to their seat, and though Charles turned away he soon returned with
Some of the people inside rushed out of the room at once."Giovanni planned this. He tricked us," Grey muttered.Aphrodite looked at Grey. "What!" She was more than shocked because she didn't even know that Grey had a plan in place already. She did know that he was going to do something but she had forgotten to ask him. That aside, no one followed them inside. So, she thought it was the end already.Giovanni looked at Grey with a dirty smirk on his face.The people were still trying to get out while there were a few men on the floor.Giovanni wasn't even concentrating on them as he walked out from the confines of the chairs.A bullet was suddenly being pointed at Grey from behind." Get up and move out from where you are," the strange voice ordered."What should we do?" Aphrodite asked anxiously as fear set in.Grey stood without a word, a smile on his face. "You amaze me, Giovanni.""Remove your mask!" Giovanni ignored his remark and instead yelled at him. He wanted to see that it wa
"Are you going home directly? Can we grab a cup of wine? It has been a while since I've drank with you," Charles said suddenly as he took a turn towards Grey's house.Grey reasoned it for a moment. "I'm not really in the mood to go anywhere but we could drink at my house."Charles brightened. "You could tell me about things I've missed as well because it seems like I've been gone forever."Grey smiled. "No problem. I don't know where to start but I will pick up from anywhere. Is that clear?"Charles made a rumble of laughter. "Alright. Why don't you start by telling me what is going on with you and Aphrodite? It looked like you two had grown together over a few weeks." He observed. Though, he heard some news about them.Grey huffed. "Aren't we supposed to be?"Charles smiled softly. "Of course but you should understand what I'm talking about already."Grey looked at him and feigned a confused look. "I sincerely don't understand."Charles grunted inwardly. "I'm talking about something
Smith smiled widely as he sat. “All done, isn’t it? It's just that I used everything I have to secure this loan. We must definitely get this contract or it won’t be easy on me.” “Same here, Smith. Even this company is standing on the muddy ground. We just have to do all we can to get this contract. Thank goodness we are on the last list. We only have to oust Grey and everything will go accordingly.” Smith smiled. “Exactly. But I’m happy we have a great opportunity.” Seth nodded once. “Same here, I’m so happy it’s a success. We can finally start thinking that the contract is ours.” Smith sat up. “Not yet. We still need to put some things into place.” “Really?” Seth raised a skeptical brow at him. “And what can that be?” Smith released a sigh. “We still need to talk about Grey for example. And I will be placing an order for the brands that we discussed. So, I think that isn’t up for discussion. What we should actually be discussing is Grey especially now that we've got everything i
A soft knock sounded on Grey’s door. He had already fixed a specific office for himself as the CEO. “Yes, come in,” he called out. The door opened and Rose walked inside. “I’m done with the interview, sir. You can have their files,” she stretched out the files. Grey nodded once. “Sure. I will get back to you concerning this. It’s just that you will have to send the messages before the end of today because I want them all to fully start work tomorrow.” “I understand boss,” she bowed slightly and walked out of the room. Grey opened the files to peruse them but his phone rang suddenly, he stared down at the screen and realised it was Charles. He picked it up before it would stop ringing. “Hello, Charles. Is everything alright?” “Yes but a letter just dropped at your place. One of the men called to inform me,” Charles revealed. Grey raised skeptical brows. “What? Is it with you? Where is it from and what is it all about?” “Well, it’s not with me unless I go home right now but it's
Grey got home early that day. He rounded everything off so he could attend to the letter from Italy.Grey opened the door and hesitated. Charles was already inside, waiting for him. “I quit work earlier for you. I couldn’t wait to read the letter from Italy. I wonder where it came from,” he smiled softly and raised the letter. It was already in his hand. “ I think you should freshen up. I will read this and get back to you.”Grey smirked. “Alright, give me some minutes,” he said and walked to his room. Before he disappeared, he caught Charles opening the letter.He walked inside the bathroom for a quick shower. He felt new after it. He got dressed in a trouser and a black t-shirt.When he stepped out again, Charles was having a drink at the bar.“So, what’s in it for me?” Grey walked to him and sat in front of him.Charles nodded once. “I don’t understand it. I think you would if you read it,” he placed the letter in front of him and continued to sip his wine.Grey regarded Charles f
Seth gathered a lot of thugs at Smith's plan. He was certain that the plan would be a great success. They would be able to pull Grey out of the list with the final straw and the order would finally be his. Smith couldn't come along as he got a lot of things to handle as well. Seth hesitated in front of Diamond base for a few seconds before he beckoned the men over with a wave of his hand. They both entered the unguarded company with harmful instruments in their hands. Though the thugs planned to kill or harm any security guards they lay their eyes on. Meanwhile, Grey's men were watching them from the corner where they stood. Seth and the men entered the building, each scattering around. "What are we supposed to do?" One of the men asked suddenly. Seth's gaze roamed around interestingly. "Destroy anything that's worth it, especially the clothes. I'm sure Grey would be down if he saw that happen," he responded and entered an office by the left. He opened the door and walked insi
