Grey had been going through the reports and files for over hours. He realized that the figures were messed up.There was nothing in the company account and few stocks of surveillance cameras were left. The materials were also little in quantity. It was only for a few more weeks before the SU world would crash.Grey made a call to the accountant's office. "Hello, see me in the office right away?" He ordered and hung up without waiting for a response.A soft knock sounded on the door almost immediately.Grey sat up. "Yes, come in."Maria walked inside. "Hi, boss. It's closing time. I'm leaving but I decided to see you before I do so. Have you concluded?"Before Grey could say something, another knock sounded on the door. John stepped inside the room in a tailored suit. He was almost like Grey except for his stubbles and the fact that Grey was the tallest."You wanted to see me?"Grey nodded briefly and picked a file. He stretched it out to him. " Goods of 5 million dollars were used but
"Sir, this man is Grey and the most useless man in life. He used to work as a delivery man and he was worth nothing," Seth explained. Luciano groaned, apparently not pleased with his explanation. He was still looking at Grey, though with curious eyes that Grey wasn't familiar with. "Did you say your name is Grey Fox?" He repeated. Grey nodded briefly. " I'm supposed to meet someone here and she's on her way here," he tried his best to be polite. " Mr. Luciano," Seth interrupted before Luciano would say anything else. "You shouldn't be speaking with someone like this. He's not worth your struggles. The security men can explain what he did anyways." Luciano turned to look at Seth. " Sorry, who are you?" There were raised brows at him. Seth smiled. "I'm Seth. I just rented the whole space for the cinema and_." "You can't do that. Someone else already rented it," Luciano cut in quickly. Seth's expression was a vivid description of horror as he watched Luciano. "I'm willing to pay t
"I'm sorry, Grey. I'm really sorry. It was all my fault," Luciano expressed deeply. Grey turned away quickly, as he bravely wiped off the tears that had suddenly seeped from his lashes. He didn't know those times. He didn't know the reason why his father was so harsh on him was because of the mafia group he spearheaded. Yet, Grey never hated his father and it hurts him so much to realize he was gone forever. "I've looked everywhere for you, Grey. I've really gone through a lot of trouble to locate you. I thought you died when the car exploded," he explained. Grey took a deep breath to calm his nerves. Then, he slowly turned to look at Luciano. "You should get up," he told him. Luciano looked up at Grey. "I can never atone for my sin," he expressed bitterly. Grey sighed and moved closer to pull him up. "You shouldn't knee to me. You used to be my uncle and well, you still are," he admitted. Luciano shook his head slightly. " I must bow to you now, Grey. You are Hercules. I just sw
The shock made Grey lose his hold on Liam. "The fuck!" Liam cussed and scampered away. His arm was hurting him so badly and he started to fear what Grey would do to him if he didn't leave quickly.Grey felt his head fly away. He hadn't imagined that a kiss from Caramel would do so much to him. Well, he couldn't really blame himself. When last did he kiss? When was the last time he touched a woman? He had been trying to avoid getting involved with women after he became a son-in-law.Even though it was just by word and his wife didn't submit to him, he still felt subjected to the rule.Grey shivered slightly and felt like having more, proceeding only if it was possible. His hands flew up and touched Caramel, igniting a fire in her that made her shivered slightly. Though, Grey didn't know this.He had a serious fight within him on what to do. Eventually, he pulled her apart a little, disrupting the kiss.Caramel pulled back slowly so that there was enough space between them while her he
There was no one in the living room when Grey walked in.He opened the bedroom door slowly so that he wouldn't wake up Avery. Little did he know that she woke up the moment the door opened..Grey woke up earlier than Avery. He didn't want Avery to waste his time that morning. In fact, he got to the dining table before her.Though, Avery came in a few minutes after."Father, how has the company been?" Emma started a conversation.Grey sighed. The family is used to talking during breakfast. Maybe because they don't usually have the time to have dinner together or maybe Lucy just doesn't like to talk in the evening."Fine. How else do you suppose it is? Smith is running it perfectly," Lucy answered in a harsh tone. It still shows that he was angry at Avery.Emma sighed. "If only you could reconsider. Avery does a better job when she is there," She mumbled.Avery looked over at Emma. " Stop mom!" She whispered.Emma sighed and eventually decided to concentrate on the food."Grey," Lucy s
Grey sighed as he walked inside his office. Avery refused to listen to him and he doesn't even know what her decision would be.If only she knew that he was Hercules and he was going to help her.A soft knock sounded on the door, jerking Grey out of his thoughts.He looked up. "Yes, come in."The door opened and Maria walked in. " Here sir," she placed a big file on the table. " I made an estimation of the amount we will be needing. And I couldn't lessen it any further," she informed.Grey took the file and perused it. "Alright. This is six million dollars?""Yes sir but I think we should opt for the loan options," she fidgeted. " There's no way we can do this. And we can't afford to lose the job. This job will help this company financially. We could get a loan and pay back after we've received payment from the company," she advised.Grey looked up at her. " When would you like to leave to get the product? Will it be shipped in?"Maria stared at Grey for a moment. " But we are talkin
"Who the fuck do you think you are? You can't just show up now and start claiming Hercules! Where were you all these years?" Charles yelled. Grey stared at him for a moment, he didn't know if he was angry that he would be taking back his properties or if he was just concerned. "Hey, Charles. You need to calm down! This is not the right time to do all this!" Aphrodite interfered. " Seriously?" Charles smirked. " Let him tell me the right time because I'm not getting it!" Aphrodite sighed, fed up already. She decided to call on Alfred, perhaps he could settle the fight between Grey and Charles. "Where's Alfred? Is he inside?" Charles looked at Aphrodite and nodded slightly. "His documents and all other stuff are inside. I believe I'm not needed here anymore and I'm leaving!" He snarled. Aphrodite stormed inside, leaving the two men staring daggers at each other. "Nothing to say? Cat got your tongue?" Charles teased. "I'm sure you were the one that just introduced yourself as Herc
Charles hung up before Grey could say more.Grey looked up at Charles. "She needs to cut the deal!""What? Why?" Charles was skeptical.Grey sighed, rubbing his forehead slightly. "Never mind, I will do it myself. What else do you need to hand over to me? I need to go home."Aphrodite darted at her wristwatch. " I need to leave now. My flight is in an hour."Grey nodded. "We will talk on the phone then."Aphrodite nodded and went to Alfred.Charles turned to Grey. " I will drop you in town. Why don't we leave together so I can tell you more on our way?" He suggested. Grey nodded. " Nice idea."Charles took the stairs up to get some file cases. He hesitated in front of the door and tried to think if he was missing anything else. When he knew he had it all, he walked downstairs again.Grey took the box containing his father's assets and moved it to the other elders. "I will be leaving now. We should probably see later in the city.""Yes, you can come back to the cinema sometimes," Luci
