At Protos Pubblicita, one of the workers moved aside to call one of her friends."Hello, can you hear me," she whispered as if she was scared everyone in Protos Pubblicita was going to hear. "Hercules is on his way, like I've heard.""Seriously," the voice on the other side responded with excitement. "How did you know this? Are you sure the information is genuine and can be trusted?""Of course. I heard Miss Maria's assistant talking about it on the phone. It's definitely right. You don't want to miss this. You do that Hercules rarely comes to work and you know he just badged a new position. You should hurry up before other reporters find out," she suggested."Yes! Thank you for informing me. I will be on my way," she assured and the line went off.She adjusted herself, just as the elevator door opened and Maria walked out with the other staff.She smiled and hurried to join the rest. Apparently, Hercules had arrived and they were all going to meet him.Grey stepped inside, with Charl
"Nice idea," Charles applauded.Grey smiled softly. "I know," he nodded slightly and looked up at Maria. "If the reporters are hell-bent on not leaving, tell them the latest update. Grey isn't who they think he is. He’s currently going to be the new VP. That should give them the time they need. That should settle the news” Grey suggested.Maria nodded briefly. “I will do that immediately, sir.”Grey smiled at her. “Good. Get me the files of this company. I need to get updated.""Alright boss," Maria responded, bowed slightly, and eventually walked out of the office.Grey looked up at Jimmy. “How is your friend doing by the way?”“Actually, he would like to speak with you. But he's doing fine now,” he revealed.Grey nodded once. “Is everything alright?”“Yes, boss. I guess he has some decision-making to do. You should hear from him yourself,” he advised.Grey nodded once in agreement and looked at Charles. “I will be seeing the two ladies today. I'm leaving for my estate today, after w
"That's alright," Grey muttered. "I will have the interview tomorrow," he concluded. Maria nodded once. "Do you want me to get all the company files or would you prefer to resume work tomorrow? Since you will be starting as VP."Grey thought for a moment. "Tomorrow then. I have a lot to do today anyway. So, I will be leaving early."Maria nodded again. "Least I forget, do you want us to have a little party? Which is normal for you as the new VP but since you are the Hercules, I don't know how you will react to it.""Well, a party sounds cool," Charles uttered."I will go with the party because, to the world, I'm just Grey. It wouldn't be nice if we didn't follow the protocol. So, yes, a party is ok."Maria pulled out her tablet and went through it for a moment. "Tomorrow afternoon then.""Afternoon is fine, I will be leaving immediately after the party. I have to be in Italy," he announced."Alright boss. I will start preparing for it. Is there anything you want?"Grey shook his head
Jimmy pulled into Grey’s estate.Charles hurried down and moved into the house. Grey and Jimmy moved inside behind him.Cynthia and Tiana were already waiting when Grey walked inside.The two girls stood up in greeting. Cynthia still had fear written all over her face as she beheld Grey. She couldn’t get the image of Grey covered in blood from her head.She clung to Tiana for support.“It’s ok,” Tiana assured. She wasn’t at all scared of Hercules. He was the one that saved them after all.Grey nodded once. “How have you been doing?”“Fine boss,” Tiana responded for the both of them.“Ok,” Grey muttered and sat. He gestured for the ladies to do the same. “I don’t know if Charles has briefed you about our meetings today.”Tiana shook her head briefly. “But I know it’s about what Richard was testing on us before you rescued us.”Grey nodded once, with a little smile “Exactly. I’m unable to decipher what the book we saw is all about. And Charles said you might have something for me. Is th
Grey got up early the next morning with a slight headache.He managed to get himself prepared for work. There was going to be a party in the afternoon. So, he got himself a blue tuxedo.The door opened suddenly and Charles walked inside. "Should I make something for you? Or what are you eating this morning?"Grey laughed. "You are not my cook.""But that doesn't mean I can't make you something very fast. You need to eat something before going to work or maybe you can take something when you get to the company," Charles explained.Grey laughed and moved to the mirror angle. He did his tie slowly. "You can't even cook. When was the last time you cooked?"Charles laughed. "I'm a lot better, Grey. You should taste my food in one of these days.""And why_," he started and turned to look at him. "Why the fuck will I even let you cook for me? No, I would rather get something when I get to Protos Pubblicita or perhaps make the food myself."Charles grinned. "I can make it better than you do."
It was Cindy."Hey, I said you aren't allowed inside," Violet snapped, angrily as she walked inside after Cindy.Grey hesitated and just watched. He didn't even understand what was happening. Cindy wasn't employed that day so there was no way she would be in Protos Pubblicita.Besides, it looked like she bypassed the security."You have to leave now, madam," Violet emphasized and stood in front of her, preventing Cindy from seeing Grey."Please, I'm begging you," Cindy said softly.Grey was shocked. He didn't know that Cindy could beg. She has always been so arrogant from the start and it felt like a leopard skin, she would never change."I just need to see Grey for a moment," she beseeched further."No, leave now before I call the security guards. How did you even get in? I might call the police on you if you don't leave this instant," she threatened.Cindy looked over at Grey as if to beg him directly. "Grey, I'm begging you. Can I see you for a moment, please," she said quickly eve
Grey released a sigh. "Alright, Maximo. I will be there earlier. I will set out after the party I have here. Don't do anything to her, I will settle everything when I get to Italy," he promised and the line went off. He wondered what Avery was really doing. What was she up to? A soft knock sounded on the door and Mark entered with bags. "Here boss," he muttered and moved closer. He placed some bags on the table and adjusted them. "I will be back when I'm done," he assured. Grey nodded once. "No problem." Mark walked out of the room, leaving Grey alone again. But his mind wasn't on the food again, it was on Avery. . The door opened suddenly, and Maria walked inside. "It's all prepared. We should leave now," she announced. Grey nodded once. "Alright, let's leave," he muttered, took his phone and stood. Mark moved closer and helped him with his briefcase. Together, they walked out of the office. Within minutes, they were driving towards the hall. Maria was in front of the car
Grey nodded once. "it's ok. We can't hide it forever anyway. He was deemed to find out sooner or later. Keep me updated on whatever happens next.""Yes boss," Jason responded and the line went off.Grey released a sigh and moved closer to Maria again."And so," the MC was saying, with a wide smile on his face. "I'm going to call the celebrant on stage to say one or two things. Then, the party will proceed," he muttered, stopping briefly to laugh. "And that goes to Grey Fox!" announced.A round of applause filled everywhere as Grey and Maria ascended the stairs."Thank you so very much for honouring me," Grey started, with a smile on his face.Everyone applauded him again and it lasted for a few minutes."Thank you!" Grey smiled again. "Protos Pubblicita is a company_," he started and everyone gave him a listening ear. "That's currently ranking one in the city and among the top ten in the world. Our main mission is to make sure it doesn't leave its position in the city and it moves eve
