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
Grey pulled up in front of the SU world again and let out a sigh. He was late because he had to get a new phone but thankfully, Garvin pulled back even though he had no plan of patronizing SU world again."Damn, you were so late and your line wasn't reachable," Maria explained anxiously.Grey smiled. "I got the problem solved with Garvin," he revealed as he got into his office.Maria released a sigh. " That's great news even though there's another problem."Grey thought for a moment and nodded briefly. " I just remembered, you were going to tell me something before I left the other time. So," he relaxed in his chair. " What's it all about?"Maria tried to relax. She pulled out the chair in front of Grey and took her seat. "I met with WW Products yesterday, just as they've requested and you've permitted to."Grey nodded. " So," he urged.Maria regarded him for a moment. "They told me to connect with the CEO and tell him to decide for the company. He was supposed to fire you so that the
Grey didn't know if he was supposed to stand and leave quickly but Audrey was fast approaching.Meanwhile, Nora was still pinning him down by the chair and he would need to pull her away if he wanted to leave. That might also cause a commotion and Audrey might eventually be able to see him.He didn't want him to give off who he really was. Audrey knew him as Hercules and of course, knew what he looked like but he didn't know that he was Grey fox, the live-in son-in-law of Robinson."You didn't have to do this, Nora and it's so bad of you," Grey told her softly.Nora smirked evilly, a dark side that Grey had never noticed until recently."A loser doesn't give advice," she opined, with slightly raised shoulders.Seth's phone rang suddenly and he turned around, towards Audrey.Grey averted his gaze away from Audrey, and instead tried to look at something else.Seth turned to look at Nora, "We need to leave now. We should leave our poor guest till next time," he informed and held Nora by
"I will get back to you soon. Wait for my message. I will communicate with you soon, then we can talk about some other things. Is that fine?" Grey proposed,his gaze on Caramel." Yes, Boss. I like it," Lan responded and his voice sounded lively now.Grey hung up and opened the door. He stared at Caramel in blue jeans and a yellow blouse. Her hair was braided and it made her look more beautiful."Grey, what took you so long? What were you discussing?" She gathered her wrinkles as she slipped into the passenger's seat.Grey sighed. He didn't want to think of the fact that Seth and Audrey might have started their meeting already. And there was no way he would be able to pick calls with Caramel beside him.Grey fingers ranked through his hair nervously. "Just got caught in something. I was only distracted. What are you doing here anyways?"Caramel smiled. " I came here for fun," her gaze trailed from his face, down to the wet shirt. "Why are you wet?"Grey looked down at his shirt and sig
