"Oh, I didn't know when our wonderful son-in-law came home last night," Smith started, with sarcasm.Avery sighed. " So, what's it about this morning!"Smith smiled. "That your husband comes home late every time. Ever wonder what could be keeping him so late? It's not like he directs the whole country or he's Hercules's heir," he teased and continued to eat." I had some business to take care of," Grey mummbled the reply.Smith nodded severally. "Every time. Or are you still a delivery man?""Shut up Smith!" Avery yelled in frustration." Your husband is the most miserable of all, and don't yell at me! I'm not your mate!" Smith retaliated.Lucy groaned. " What is always happening at the breakfast table?"" Well, father, you need to tame your little cousin," Emma jibed.Smith turned to Emma. " Are you saying it's my fault that Grey comes home late?""Heck, he can be wherever he wants to," Benjamin said quickly." No!" Avery and Emma chorused at the same time.Benjamin blinked once, at
Avery didn't know what to do, but Grey's words kept ringing in her ears. She knew there was no problem in letting him handle everything that has to do with Protos Pubblicita, why must her father appoint Smith beside her?Avery sighed and looked over at Smith, who was talking with one of the workers in Protos Pubblicita."Here, the meeting would start immediately," one of the workers offered and ushered the team to the meeting room.Jane stepped inside with her team members a few minutes later. "Good morning, everyone. We will start the meeting immediately," she revealed and moved to sit.She hesitated for a moment and looked up. "Mr. Smith?" She called with creased brows.Smith smiled. " Good morning, Miss Jane."Jane nodded once. "Well, good morning but we specifically stated who we want. We wanted Miss Avery Robinson."" Sure, she's the team leader. I'm here as part of the representatives. We can proceed now if you don't mind," Smith urged.Jane stood. " I'm sorry but that can't hap
Grey decided to show up at KK corporation before going to the office. Well, there was really nothing to go to the company for. Everyone has been pulling back, thanks to Chris. He has made some decisions but he needs to settle everything accordingly. He needed to settle everything before meeting with the investors. And he sure has something up his sleeve with the other companies. But what did he meet? Nora. He actually hoped he would be able to keep Nora in the company since it was how she pays her tuition fee. But Nora was displaying unforgivable behavior. Grey stared down at his wet shirt, then he raised skeptical brows at Nora, a smile curved at the tip of his lips. "Longest time, Nora." There was a blank expression on Nora’s face. "Longest time? We met yesterday night, you dummy! Are you suffering from dementia?" Grey nodded once, looking away as if he was really thinking about something. " I remembered vividly. You spilled on me just as you did right now." Nora huffed. "I'm
Nora couldn't believe her ears. She stood still in shock for a moment.Tracy shuddered Nora slightly. "Nora, what the fuck is he saying? That isn't possible, right? Grey can't be the new CEO!" She muttered a bit to convince herself, instead of others.Nora's heart felt shattered. The shock was too much and she couldn't even bring herself to talk.Grey regarded them for a moment. "Send them out. I don't want to see them," and he turned around to walk into the office, while the security saw Tracy and Nora out of the company.Grey turned to look at the manager and the director. "We will go through changing the company names. KK corporation reminds me so much of someone and I don't want that."" Alright, it's fine with us. We also want you to know that there's nothing in the warehouse," Linda, the director responded." Yes, Seth sold everything days back," Westley chimed in.Grey thought about it for a moment. He wasn't surprised anyways. He knew that Seth would have ruined everything bef
Jason's heart skipped a thousand beats. "What did you just say? Who am I speaking with?" Grey released a sigh. " Why will I lie about my identity?""I_I'm not saying you are lying," Jason stuttered. " Why would I say that? I was just bothered," he took a deep sigh. " I mean skeptical. I didn't know you had a relationship with SU world.""I own a lot of companies. How are you supposed to keep track of all of my companies? What are you? A spy?" He muttered." No!" Jason said quickly. " I mean, I didn't mean it like that," he stammered, almost out of air. " I was just surprised. I mean, it's a pleasure speaking with you. Are you really the owner of SU world?"Grey laughed. " Do you want to know the names of all my companies? Then, we could arrange a meeting."Jason laughed anxiously. " I didn't mean it like that but I will be glad if you meet with me. I've always wanted to meet with you," he revealed.Grey cleared his throat meaningfully. "One of my workers told me you needed to speak w
Just as the conference call was about to start, a soft knock sounded on the door.Grey groaned and stood to open the door. Tina was at the door."I'm sorry for disturbing you but I had to remind you of the meeting. It's 2 already and the investors have arrived," she revealed.Grey nodded once. " Yes, I remember. I will be off soon. Let them know I'm on my way," he muttered."Alright," she nodded as well and walked away.Grey locked the door again before he moved back to his seat.Finally, he started the conference call."Hello, Hercules. It's a pleasure to be on a conference call with you," Joe uttered, with a hint of happiness." Yes, I was surprised when Janet told me you would like to have a conference call with us. It's a pleasure," Andrew laughed." Yes, I'm so glad that you have me as an audience," Grey started. " I really need your help."" Really? What could it be?" Gaius inquired. " We will gladly help."Grey smiled. " I'm so glad for that reception. Anyways, I will get strai
"Wow! How did you convince them, Boss?" Liam asked, surprised. There was a big smile on his face.Maria regarded Grey for a moment. "I knew he had a perfect plan. We don't need to ask how he did it, as far as everything is moving accordingly," she rescued Grey.Grey gave her a nice smile. " She's right. Well, so our investors are back. We should proceed with our daily affairs."" Did you tell Hercules about the situation here?" Liam inquired suddenly.Grey watched him for a moment. "No, why should I? And only Jane has access to Hercules. I'm just a manager of SU world," he explained.Maria nodded. " Yes, do you know the type of people Hercules speaks with? I'm sure we are not in his league," Maria pointed out.Grey laughed at this. To think he was the Hercules they were talking about.Liam nodded. " I will go back to work then, even though I feel like we need to celebrate our success," he suggested with a smile.Grey observed him for a moment and slowly shook his head. "I don't think
It was impossible, could the death have come alive?Grey found it strange to even imagine it. Alas! Behold, it was Leo, Charles' father.Were his eyes playing tricks on him? Even after he closed and opened his eyes, he saw the man as he turned around and started towards the elevator.Grey hurried closer to him. If it was true and Leo was alive, then, he must speak with him. He must ask him why he killed his father and attempted to take his life as well.One of the maids pulling a serving tray rushed out from the room beside Grey, obstructing him for a moment. When Grey reached the elevator, he saw that Leo had taken the ride to the last floor.Greg rushed to the second elevator as well. His heart was thumping madly in his chest.He made a calculation, a hard thought at why Leo would be alive and the elders wouldn't know about it.Alfred told him that he died in the accident. Even though, he knew that it wasn't an accident and something fishy was actually happening somewhere.Damn, he
