Chapter 143: The secretly rich boss “B_but boss,” Jane stammered, unsure of what she was going to
say. “Why?” She said eventually.
“Jane, I told you the last time to be careful with Grey. Grey was sent into SU world by me. And I
discovered that the allegation you levied against him was fabricated. For someone that could make up
such lies, I wonder what you have done or would still do at the detriment of my company.” “No boss,
please,” Jane stuttered.
“No?” He raised a brow and waited. He smirked. “Are you saying I’m lying?”
“I mean, I’m really sorry. I was just concerned. I didn’t mean anything. I only wanted you to be sure of
who you trust.”
“Yes, I took that into consideration and decided to remove the untrustworthy people around me, like
you, Jane,” he revealed.
“What? Me?” Jane stuttered. “I have always been faithful to Protos Pubblicita ever since I started to
work here.” She expressed in a sad filled voice.
“I’m watching you, Jane. I’ve always been watching you and you have been acting against me,” he
revealed. ” By the way, why aren’t you working at Giovanni’s company? I don’t see why you are friends
with Giovanni but you work at my place. Can you explain the theory behind it?” Jane went quiet for a
moment. She was expecting the question. ” What_are y_you saying?” She stammered. Grey sniffed.
Jane must not have expected it. Well, Jane met Giovanni at Giovanni’s hotel and suites. And it was a
place that Hercules would never go. So, there was no way Hercules would know about it, according to
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtJane. “I don’t need your answers, Jane. And mind you, you might eventually lose your job. And I’m still
watching you,” he muttered and hung up.
Maria couldn’t stop thinking about what Jane had uttered before she was dragged out. And she
desperately wanted to probe further. So, she needed to speak with Jane.
She walked out of the office and moved to Carol. “Hey, I’m leaving now. I will be back soon.”
“Alright, ma’am. Is there anything you want me to do before you get back?”
Maria thought for a moment. “Get something chilled for Mr. Grey. That aside, he needs an assistant.
Work it out.”
Carol nodded briefly.” I will do that now. We have some staffs that need promotion. I would tender their
CV to Mr. Grey. Then, he could decide who he wants as an assistant,” she suggested.
Maria smiled. “That’s an excellent idea. Also, I will need to see everything that Jane had worked on so I
can be up to date with everything in Protos Pubblicita. I will need all pending or ongoing projects as
well as contracts.”
“I will get you everything,” Carol assured. Maria nodded and walked out of the company. She asked the
security if they knew where Jane was and they gestured at a car packed a few miles away.
It looked like Jane had refused to leave. It must have come as a sudden shock to her as she had been
a secretary of Protos Pubblicita for almost three years now. That aside, the title had earned her a lot.
Maria had always looked up to her but she had been so arrogant. So, Maria understood how she was
feeling.
But if her intrusive was right, then she would never win. Jane would keep fighting Grey and not knowing
she was fighting Hercules. Jane’s head was bent against the stirring as if she was sleeping. Maria
knocked on the door and it took a while for Jane to jerk up. And there were traces of tears on her face.
Her face was also swollen and reddish like someone that has been crying for so long.
Maria didn’t wait for a reply, she opened the door and got inside.” Hi.”
She looked at Jane. The mascara on her face had turned her face into a venue for a rainbow of color.
She looked like a ghost now with the black paint scattered beside her cheeks. But it looked like she
didn’t care.
Her face was swollen and made her look even worst.
“Why are you here?” Jane lashed at her.” What do you what from me now? I sincerely don’t know what
you have done but I will surely get my position back,” she bragged, as the tears streamed down her
cheeks.
Maria actually felt a bit of pity for her. It was the fall of a heroine. “I’m sorry about what happened to
you, Jane but I’m not here for that.” Jane faked a smile.” You are not here for it? Yet, you are here? I’m
sure you are here to mock me and that it was Grey that sent you. Just know that it’s not the
end. This is just the beginning,” she contended in a harsh tone and looked away to wipe the tears off.
Maria took a deep breath. Jane was still in pain. So, it was normal.
“Have you been able to call Mr. Grey? The Hercules?”
“Calling him has nothing to do with you!” she screamed suddenly. “Just let me be! Or you will blame
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmyourself!” She threatened in a thick voice.
Maria sighed. ” Is he Grey Fox?” Jane wiped her head towards her and her eyes went wide with shock.
She knew that no one knew Hercules as Grey Fox except for her and Charles. It was also a way to
keep his identity hidden.” How did you know? How did you know what his last name was?”
Maria was shocked as well. Shock kept her motionless and speechless for a moment. “You said his
name the other time before the security walked you out.”
“Jane rolled her eyes. “Oh, I did,” she turned to look at her face in the front mirror. “It must have been
by mistake. But why are you even asking me about something like this?” She inquired tiredly.
Maria looked at her, still shocked. She however remembered what Grey had told them when he first
resumed work at SU world. Grey had told them that Hercules could have been aware of how SU was
operating so poorly. She didn’t really think much about it.
But suddenly, the pictures kept coming in. And the puzzles kept filling their places in her head.
Maria looked over at Jane. “Have you seen Mr. Grey fox physically? I mean have you been able to see
Hercules’s face?”
Jane sighed.” I sincerely don’t know why you are asking me all these questions but no! No one has
seen his face, not even me,” she looked at Maria and sobbed silently.” Not even his loyal secretary has
seen his face. How dare you want to see his face?”
Maria let out a sigh.” Sorry, I was just trying to affirm the gossips I heard.” “You want to see Hercules’s
real face? Then, you should speak with Grey. Aside from your Grey, only Mr. Charles has seen his
face,” she revealed and looked away again. She looked much calmer now.
Maria’s heart made a sudden thud in her chest. Somehow, the leads were pointing to one thing. Grey
was Hercules. But how?
