Chapter 128: The Start Grey regarded the man for a moment. Though, he didn’t ask the elders if they
killed Audrey’s men, yet, he thought they were dead. “Why are you here? What do you want?” “I’m
Jimmy and I want you to hear me out,” he pleaded softly. Grey let out a sigh.” Alright, go on.”
Jimmy hesitated for a moment and suddenly went on one knee. “I’ve offended you, I know but I’ve
come to ask for your forgiveness. Audrey took my son as well, there was nothing I could do but obey
each of his orders.” Grey observed him for a moment.” It’s ok. You can leave your life. I will release
your son to
you.”
Jimmy hesitated again.” I need something else from you, Hercules.”
“What do you want then?” Grey was skeptical.
Jimmy regarded him for a moment.” I want to work for you, Hercules. I promise to be trustworthy and
would even serve you with my life,” he pledged truthfully. “Please, Hercules,” Lan added quickly, in a
strained voice. Grey swallowed harder, as he gave it a quick thought. He looked down at Jimmy. “Get
up.” Jimmy shook his head. “No, I will like to stay like this till you decide my fate.”
On second thought.” Can you work as a security?”
Jimmy didn’t think about it deeply and quickly nodded. “I can do that. If I can get that, I would be able to
take care of my family.”
Grey smiled slightly.” I guess you aren’t the only one in this but I will put you in charge. Write out the
names of the men and get back to me on their education status and their talents. I will find something
to give them.” Jimmy’s eyes sparked up. “What!” He jumped up in joy.” You will employ us all?” Grey

anyways?” Jimmy nodded once.”I’m good with computers and I’m a content writer. I just couldn’t get a
good job.” “Then you will get a job in my company. Speak to Don and he would let you know how you
can get to me. You will resume tomorrow and well, luckily, you are the first employee.” Jimmy was so
happy.” Thank you so much, Hercules.” Grey turned to look at him quickly.” Don’t call me that,
especially in public,” he warned softly. Jimmy nodded quickly, the excitement still in his eyes.” Thank
you so much. I appreciate it,” he said truthfully. Grey nodded once, glad he could help.” I will call
someone and the children will arrive later in the day,” he revealed.
Jimmy nodded severally.” Thank you so much, Master.”
An idea struck Grey as Jimmy was about to leave.” Wait,” he pulled him to a sudden stop. “I have a job
for you,” he looked up at him for a moment and saw the eagerness in his eyes.” Your first assignment
will be for you to make all the research that you can about Smooth Therapy, with Hattie as the CEO.”
“I will get to work immediately. Thank you so much, Boss.”
Grey signaled for him to leave, then watch him walk out happily. “Thank you so much, Hercules. You’ve
done a lot for us and we will serve you till the end of the world,” Lan said.
Grey smiled and patted him slightly by the arm.” Get well soon, so that you can resume work as well. I
will leave now. We can talk later then,” he stood and looked over at Naomi.” She will be fine, don’t
worry and I will tell them to bring Belle over,” he informed.
Lan nodded briefly.” Thank you,” he whispered.
Grey smiled again before he walked out of the room. Just as he picked up his phone to call Alfred, an
unknown call came through. “Yes, hello. Who is this?” He asked as he got inside his car. “It’s Beatrice.
Mr. Alfred got me a new phone. I had none anyways,” she laughed. “Now, you are laughing. I like that,”
Grey complimented and drove out.” Where are you? I’m coming over to take you out,” he informed. “I
will send you the address but I don’t have any dresses to change to. The one I have on me isn’t really
fit to enter the boutique with you,” she hinted in a low voice.
Grey smiled at this. Little did she know that he had worn worse clothes than she was wearing. “I will
pick you up. You are going out with me, so you don’t have to worry about anything. I will see you soon.”
The phone went off and a message came in quickly.
He drove for some minutes until he pulled up in front of Beatrice’s new house. The door opened and
Beatrice walked out. “Grey,” she called excitedly as he entered the passenger’s seat. “Are you sure it’s
ok?”
“Yes, we are going to Novia’s boutique. You don’t need to worry about anything,” he assured her and
pulled out into the street.
Beatrice’s heart was filled with gladness. Even though she had always waited for Grey to return, she
held deep feelings of anguish and regret at the death of her son. She just couldn’t stop thinking about it
and life hasn’t really been good to her since fifteen years ago. “I dropped the box at home. We could
have a look at it when we get home,” she hinted. Grey smiled softly.” We have a lot of time for that. For
now, we are going shopping and you are going to enjoy it,” he assured her. Beatrice smiled again. Her
thoughts strayed away. She thought of how stubborn Grey had been when he was still young. But he
was nice, always nice and he still had that attribute. It was

Whenever Rio set his mind to do something, nothing would change it. He wasn’t easily convinced.
“Now! We are here!” Grey announced suddenly, jerking Beatrice out of her thoughts. Novia’s boutique
was ranked two in the city at that moment, because of her beautiful stores and the sales and quality.
And there was a huge possibility that she would be the first soon. They walked inside the store, beside
each other. One of the salespeople stepped out. “Welcome, what would you like to buy?” Grey inclined
his head aside as if he was thinking about it. “Anything she wants,” he said simply. The salesperson
turned to Beatrice.” What would you like to get?” Beatrice thought for another Moment. “I will just look
around.” “Ok, come to this side,” the salesperson walked her away. Grey decided to look around.
Perhaps there was something that would keep him busy. Then, he decided to get a nice wristwatch for
Beatrice. Another salesperson walked to Grey. “Do you want another thing?” “Yes, sure. I want an
iPhone watch. How much do you sell it?”
“It depends on the one that you want. Here, I will show you,” she led him over to the watch store.” We
have Apple watch series 7{GPS 45mm} with a red aluminum case for $419, apple watch series 4(GPS
+ Cellular, 44mm) for $259, apple watch series 5 (GPS, 44mm) for $199.
There are discounts on the series 4 and 5.”
“Alright, I will go for series 7.” Noise erupted from somewhere around them suddenly. “Madam! You
have to leave now!” The salesperson’s voice was so loud. Grey had that deep gut feeling that it might
be Beatrice and so, following the path of the voice. His fist clenched involuntarily by his side when he
saw David embarrassing Beatrice.
