"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
“Are you for real?” Smith inquired anxiously. Seth nodded briefly. “I’m telling you. I’m very sure at this moment that Grey is as confused as you are. I’m very sure he’s going to lose this order.” “Of course, we own the order.” There was a soft knock on the door. The door opened almost immediately and the secretary walked inside. “I’m sorry for disturbing you sir but Miss Maria is here from Protos Pubblicita,” she announced. Seth stood up immediately. “Miss Maria? Let her inside. We have been expecting her.” The secretary nodded briefly and walked out. It didn’t take more than a minute when the door opened and Maria walked inside. Seth and Smith stood to greet her. “Welcome, Miss Maria,” Seth extended. Maria nodded briefly. “Good morning Mr. Seth. I don’t have much time here as I have a lot of things to do elsewhere. Can we round this thing up quickly?” Seth nodded briefly. “That’s fine. Smith will show you around.” Maria nodded again and looked at Smith in expectant. Smith
The door to Giovanni's private room opened and a man walked inside. It was late at night and Giovanni was in one of his clubs. He took a cup filled with wine already and sipped it. “Any news?” "Yes, boss. There's feedback from our spy that he just left goodness hospital." "What for?" Giovanni didn't look at him as he asked. "We didn't get that sir but he told us that he spent a lot of time there. And the room he entered was not only a VIP one but also guarded," he revealed. Giovanni looked at him for a moment. "Then that means the person must be very important to him," he reasoned for a moment. "I want you to find out who the person is. And I want it as quickly as possible. It could actually provide us an opportunity to eliminate Grey." The man bowed slightly and walked out. Giovanni was looking for every means possible. Anything would do as long as it eliminates Grey. And he wouldn't stop until he finds it. . Smith and Seth entered Protos Pubblicita and hesitated. "I'm anxiou
Seth turned around quickly to call the man that had handed him the phone but he was suddenly gone. He couldn't decide if he had entered the elevator or if he was just lost among the people in the lobby. His hand gripped the phone even harder. What was happening? He couldn't think at first, his mind was all foggy. Could Grey have set him up like he did the year before he left Jacksonville? "Seth!" Smith yelled at him. Seth jerked out and looked up at one of the security guards. "You have to leave now," the security guard reminded them in a strong tone. Seth released a sigh and nodded briefly before he walked out of the lobby without another word to Smith. He didn't stop until he was out of Protos Pubblicita. He turned to look at Smith with anger showing all over his face. "This was all your fault!" He yelled in anger. Smith gave him a confused look. "What do you mean? What are you talking about?" Seth stretched the phone out. "Don't fucking ask me! Don't you dare ask me that
