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
Grey picked it up. "Hello Novia," he said into the receiver as he entered the car. Mark entered the driver's side while Charles, Aurora, and the rest of the men took to the other side. Charles's car led the way, followed by Mark and then the third car. "Grey," Novia said softly, pulling at Grey's heartstrings. "How are you doing, Novia?" "I saw you in the magazine just now," she laughed briefly. It was actually nice to hear. And her voice was full of life. "I'm so glad for the recent decision. It looks like we are drawing close to our destination," she said excitedly. "Yes, though," Grey hesitated briefly. "I'm still worried. I'm trying all my best to make sure Giovanni dies but he has always managed to stay alive," he explained briefly and sighed. "But let's see how the next plan goes." "Well," there was a brief hesitation. "I'm sure it will go well. Hercules needs to die very soon. I can't wait for it to happen." Grey nodded once, "I told Charles to inform you about the party
Grey woke up an hour later, feeling strengthened. His phone beeped suddenly. He reached out to it. It was a message from Maximo. He read the message and discovered it was the address of the hotel where Avery was staying. And the fact that she lodged into the hotel that she lodged in when she was in Italy a few days back, amazed him. A soft knock sounded on the door suddenly. "Yes, who is there?" "It's Charles," the voice said, the door opened and he walked inside. "Are you still going out?" Grey nodded once. "I am. In fact, Maximo has sent me Avery's address." "And you want to meet her?" He was a bit shocked. Grey made a nod of his head. "I told you everything, didn't I?" Charles released a sigh. "Of course you did but I don't think meeting her personally is the real solution. Besides, you did say you want her to forget about you. Seeing her would only remind her of who you are." Grey huffed. "But she doesn't even remember me. There's no way she would remember me if I met
Avery struggled against him but didn't shout. "Where's your card?"Avery released a sigh and tried to get free from Grey's hold. "I can handle myself now. You don't have to follow me inside. I can go in," she protested.Grey nodded once and slowly let her go.Avery pulled out her card from the bag and opened the door. She proceeded inside only to trip.Grey caught her quickly before she would hit the floor.Avery started sobbing. "What can I do? It's driving me insane? I don't know what to do.""You need to sleep. You are drunk," Grey told her."I might look drunk but I still have a mind of what I'm doing. I know what I'm saying, I definitely do," she uttered.Grey nodded once. "But I will still advise you to sleep it off. You can handle whatever you want to after you've woken up," he suggested and reached forward to help her up.Avery jerked free from him. "Don't touch me until you tell me why you pretended to be my husband. And why you were also the one I was working with?"Grey re
