Secretly The Billionaire Boss by Debbie chocolate

Chapter 246: Kidding?

Charles and Grey got home in the afternoon the next day. Charles pulled up at the garage. While Grey

absentmindedly got down and went inside, Charles followed after.

It was work hour and Grey knew that Caramel would be at work. So, he was going to wait.

“Boss, I forgot to tell you something,” Charles said suddenly, dragging Grey out of his thought.

Grey nodded briefly and moved to retrieve a bottle of champagne.

Charles followed after. “Mattee gave you something last night but I forgot to tell you about it due to the

issue on the ground,” He explained.

Grey nodded briefly and turned to look at him. “What’s all this about?”

“Mattee sent a jacket, it’s bulletproof and one of its kind,” he explained and pulled out the jacket to

show it to Grey. “You could wear it as a normal jacket and no one would notice it is bullet–proof,” he

smiled softly.” This is the best gift you’ve ever received.” He complimented.

Grey regarded it for a moment before he moved nearer to check it out. He was shocked that Mattee

liked him so much to have gifted him such a rare item.

“Now I see how much Mattee trusts and admires you,” he stated.

Grey nodded once. ” Take this inside my room. We will discuss this later. I will probably call you,” he

announced.

Charles nodded briefly and walked away.

Grey was still watching him when his phone rang suddenly. It was Jane. Grey was a bit confused. Why

was Jane calling him? And that was when he remembered that she was calling him through his line as

Hercules.

“Good day sir,” she started.

“Yes, is everything alright?” Grey demanded.

“Yes, boss but I have something to discuss with you. I mean I received a letter about it,” she hesitated.

” SU received a letter this morning from Spinfluence. Spinfluence is an old company that supplies

CCTV cameras to other big companies. So, it says there’s an order ongoing and they would like to

tender it before us. In fact, they are selling the contract to us,” she explained.

Grey nodded once. ” So, you want us to buy it?”

“Yes, boss but we aren’t the last competitor. There’s someone else dragging this with us because the

order is worth a lot of money. If SU company can receive this order, it would improve our business and

can even increase the position of SU on the chart,” she declared.

Grey thought about it for a moment. “I will send Grey to you. You guys should discuss it in person.

Meanwhile, we are buying it,” he announced.

“That’s cool, boss. I will be waiting.”

Grey hung up and stared down at his phone. Jane was becoming a bit obedient.

“So, I will see you later. I will visit Alfred tomorrow,” Charles announced suddenly.

Grey looked up at him and nodded briefly. “Alright, bye.”

Grey moved to pour himself a glass of wine. His phone rang again, almost immediately. He sighed and

reached for it. It was Linda this time.

“Good day boss.”

“Yes, how are you doing, Linda?”

“I’m fine but we have a visitor waiting for you at the office. I told her you weren’t around but she insisted

on staying. So, I had to call you,” she spoke.

Grey released a sigh. “Who is it? Or just tell the person to come back, I’m not available to come at this

moment,” he declared.

“Alright, I will inform her but it’s Hattie."

Grey raised skeptical brows. “Hattie? Of Smooth Therapy?”

“Yes, boss, she insisted on seeing you today. She’s a very stubborn woman.”

Grey nodded once, a smile sticking out of his mouth. “A very stubborn one,” he admitted with a hint of

sarcasm that made Linda laugh. ” Alright, tell her I will be there soon. I will be on my way now and I will

be as fast as I can,” he informed.

Alright boss, I will be waiting,” and the line went off.

Grey doesn’t know what Hattie was looking for again after the last encounter. Was she going to try to

kidnap someone again or was she going to threaten him this time? He couldn’t guess but he knew that

Hattie meant trouble.

Or maybe Charles was right and Hattie now knows who he really was.

His heart took on a sudden breath. Grey still wouldn’t believe it until he has confirmed it. There was no

way Caramel would betray him. She doesn’t ask him questions anymore, which means she has

stopped being inquisitive around him or maybe she was curious as well as to who Grey really was.

But if that was the case, then it means that Caramel had betrayed him. He didn’t even want to think

about it because it was difficult. He was still battling with the betrayal from his father’s best friend, he

just didn’t want more.

Grey got dressed in a different attire before he set out to the street.

He arrived at Victoria Skincare soon enough. When he entered the lobby, Linda walked up to him.

“Welcome Boss. Beatrice told me you went out and I didn’t want to call you so that you could rest but

Hattie was just being stubborn,” she revealed.

Grey smiled as they entered the elevator. “It’s on, I will handle it. Where’s my mother by the way?”

“In the production room,” she responded. “It’s all secured, so there’s nothing to be worried about.” She

informed him.

Grey nodded once. ” Alright,” and stepped out of the elevator, with Linda.

They entered the office where Hattie sat, waiting for Grey.

“Why are you here?” Grey demanded immediately.

Hattie scoffed. “Is that how to greet a colleague and elder in this line of business? Well, I’m here to

discuss with you.”

Grey regarded her for a moment before he moved to sit, with Linda beside him.

“What is this all about?”

Hattie regarded him for a moment. “CCS is on the way, I want you to pull out.”

Grey stared at her for a moment. “What?” He was shocked.

Pull out of the Clear and Clean Skin award? Who was Hattie kidding?
