Grey walked inside the room and regarded Avery for a moment. She sat in front of the mirror and was applying something to her face. She was in a white fur night robe."I thought you wouldn't come back tonight," she didn't turn around as she made the remark." Do you care?"Avery eventually turned to look at him, her gaze flickered over him for a moment. "I was worried. I thought you had met with Don and something had happened."Grey sighed. " You sounded worried after all."Avery rolled her eyes. " What nonsense were you saying at the party? Why should you meddle in my business? Why must you always put yourself in trouble,"she complained.Grey made a little smile but he didn't move away." Are you worried about me or yourself?"Avery felt frustrated at his question. " Damn! Grey! I'm worried about myself. I want this position more than anyone else. In fact, this belongs to me. So, I shouldn't hesitate if it's coming my way. Why were you speaking to my grandfather in such a way? What if
Grey was going through some files. He just came back from lunch not quite long.A soft knock sounded on the door and he looked up. “Yes, come in.” he invited.Maria hesitated for a moment before she opened the door and walked inside. Grey looked up at her and noticed the worried expression on her face. He regarded her for a moment.“Is everything alright?”Maria fidgeted. “I sincerely don’t understand what is happening. Mr. Jason left a note for me when we arrived at W.W products company. Here," she stretched it out to Grey.Grey took it and read through. "What is this supposed to mean?" He looked up at Maria again. "He's not going to pay? What does that mean?"Maria nodded briefly. " Exactly sir. Mr. Jason said he won't pay for the products, I mean the second package that we delivered to him. And this happened after we had unpacked. There was no way we could get our Surveillance cameras back from them."Grey thought about it for a moment and realization hit him." And it wasn't in th
"Audrey is a despicable man and very notorious. He's not a mafia but he's even very deadly. People think he might actually create a mafia group soon and he has a lot of guards," Don explained.Grey thought for a moment. " So, how do I see him?"" There's always an appointment," Richard interceded. " One needed to book an appointment a few hours before. And he's very callous. He could be in the office and he would refuse to see the person until the precise time," he revealed.Grey made a smirk. " Seriously? I'm seeing him, and now must it be," he muttered. " Who's taking me to his place?"" I will do that," Richard said quickly.Don regarded Grey for a moment. "It's very dangerous to go alone. I can arrange some of the boys. We can meet you over there," he suggested."Do what you want," Grey stated and got down from the passenger seat and maneuvered around the car.Don turned to look at Richard. "Stick to the Boss and let them know who they are messing with!" He ordered.Richard's eyes
The man with the debit card took some steps backward while the other men moved closer to Grey."Beat him preferably," Audrey ordered and took another smoke pipe. He relaxed in his chair to watch the drama. There was a faint smile on his face as he watched Grey. "A police officer entering my abode is like a rat entering the lion's den.""What the fuck!" Richard yelled with frustration. " He's not a policeman! He's in fact, your darkest nightmare!" He muttered.Grey turned to look at Richard, he slowly shook his head as a means to tell him to keep his mouth sealed. He knew what he was going to say but he was going to go by what Alfred had decided and not let anyone know who he really was.Richard saw the sign and decided to keep shut. Hercules was his boss after all. Instead, he attacked the men as well. Though, he wasn't as good as Grey and got hit sometimes.Grey dodged a punch aimed at his face, and instead kicked the attacker. Another came right behind him and he punched him in the
Grey regarded Audrey for a moment and moved away from the gun. Just as he did that, one of his men rushed to take the gun out of Audrey or his men's reach.Grey moved to the table and took a pen from the dozens of pens in the case."So, tell me your plan," he asked and looked at him briefly before he tore away a piece of paper from one of the books on the table."I'm going to call Seth right away and let him know that there's a change in plan. The buyer won't be meeting him personally. That will give me the benefits to retrieve_"" Not interested," Grey said quickly, cutting him off abruptly. " I'm going to buy the company from him, as planned," he opined.Audrey squeezed his forehead in concentration, he hated when someone interrupted him so abruptly. It made him feel so upset but he suppressed the anger."Boss, that would waste your money," Don said quickly.Gre scribbled something into the paper and folded it before replacing the pen. "I have more than enough to worry about that. T
"I gave him my phone number," Grey revealed.Don raised a confused brow. "Phone number?"Grey nodded briefly, with a little smile. "We could use him as a spy for Audrey. As far as I know, he will try to make a dangerous move after the meeting with Seth tomorrow. We could track him with this," he explained." I don't believe this," Don heaved an exasperated sigh. " How do we do it? What if he doesn't call? We can't be certain he would. There's no way he would want to betray Audrey."" You are right," Richard affirmed. " But I think that was why Boss chose him. These people are only like guards, mostly to protect and they didn't even swear an oath of allegiance. It's unlike us," he acknowledged.Grey nodded appreciatively at him. " He's right. And besides, Richard told them who I was. There's a huge difference between me and Audrey. This guy will realize this and make a decision of who to follow," he said hopefully." And what if he doesn't call?" Don complained.Grey had already though
Grey woke up very early that morning and decided to eat out because he didn't want any embarrassment from Smith.So, he didn't eat in the house and instead ate at a nearby restaurant before driving to the company.The moment he pulled up, he remembered the problem he had initially faced that morning at work and the fact that it wasn't even Seth behind it.He wondered who was provoking the clients."Manager!" Maria yelled just as Grey stepped into the lobby.Grey stopped walking and turned towards where the voice came from. Maria walked toward her, with a frown on her face."Good morning, sir. I seriously need to speak with you. It's very urgent!"Grey nodded. " Let's talk in the office then," just as he turned around, he saw Liam coming toward him." Boss, we have a problem," his facial expression was troubled.Maria sighed. " Again?"Grey gave them a confused look. "What do you mean by again?""I guess we should discuss it in your office," Liam offered.Grey nodded and they all walke
Grey opened the door immediately, not even seeking permission. Garvin deserved it anyways. "Good morning, Mr. Grey," there was a bright smile plastered across his face as if it was a trophy day for him. Grey scoffed. "Yes, it's such a good morning. I bet you didn't know that you are a fool in a hundred. What the fuck was all that drama about?" Garvin regarded him for a moment. " I thought you are here because you are going to go by my desires." Grey tried to suppress the anger from the surfacing, " Who sent you to me?" Garvin blinked once, then twice. "If you don't have any reasonable thing to say, you can leave. And expect the police soon." Grey clenched his fist even harder. " I just want to know who the mastermind was. I will leave if you can tell me this." Garvin got alerted. " So, you are here to cause trouble?" He took his telephone and made a call. "Send the men in to drag this bullshit out of my office," he ordered and looked up at Grey again. " You just wait. if you don
