Secretly The Billionaire Boss by Debbie chocolate

Chapter 262: Against the Boss

Chris felt a stab of annoyance. He had spent a lot to make sure the other antagonists were eliminated

until it got to SU world. He even paid some of the workers.

Who would have thought he wouldn't be winning the contract after all the stress he had gone through?

Grey walked closer to him, with a smile plastered all over his face. "Hi, Chris.’’

Chris gave him a dark frown. "You must be happy that you won the contract. ■

Grey laughed. "Are you expecting me to be sad? Well, it felt good to realize you lost to me."

Chris clenched his teeth together. "Have you forgotten? Hercules is dead. Do you think Alfred will help

you forever? Especially after this recent news?"

"Why don't you leave that for me? But for the meantime, enjoy the loss," he finished and walked

towards Spinfluence workers.

The workers of Protos Pubblicita were also murmuring and discussing the news when Grey walked

inside.

A knock sounded on the door quickly. "Mr. Grey, it's Maria."

"Alright, come inside," Grey invited.

The door opened and Maria walked inside. "Boss, is everything alright?"

Grey looked up at her, with raised brows. "Is something wrong?"

Maria nodded briefly. "A company has withdrawn and has sent a request to terminate our contract.

There's current news circulating about your death. What's happening?"

Grey sighed. "A company withdrew?"

Maria nodded briefly. "Yes, they said they would need to see Hercules to believe it. They said they are

only in the contract with us because of you.

But what happened?"

"Don't worry about it. There's just something going on. You will get to find out soon," he hinted.

Maria regarded him for a while as realization dawned on her. "You did this yourself?"

Grey nodded briefly. "There’s something I need to get. Everything will soon be over. So, just calm down

and wait."

Maria nodded briefly.

The door opened suddenly and Charles stepped inside. Maria turned to bow down to him before she

walked out of the office.

"Hi, Grey," Charles greeted as he walked closer and pulled out a chair. ’I saw the news this morning

and I was surprised. I thought we had issues yesterday. What happened today?"

Grey smiled softly. "Todd must have told Giovanni. Todd must have trusted Gary. Though, I wasn't

expecting it so early as well. I was surprised too."

Charles sat up and moved closer. "But what really happened?"

"Thomas is the spy-like I told you. And well, Gary had complications because they thought he was

really walking for me. So, we had to make them believe him. And judging by the news, it seems

positive," he explained.

Charles nodded briefly, satisfied by the result. "Does it mean we are saved now?"

Grey looked away. "I don't think so. We need to wait for some days.

Giovanni might be watching out for us. He might want to know what we will do. And when it's all

confirmed, he will withdraw all of his men," he informed.

Charles let out a sigh. "But many of our men would withdraw too and we won't be able to call them

back."

"Well, for now, no but we can do that later after Giovanni has been dealt with."

"Alright."

"Tell the men to keep looking for Fred but on a low key. He and Todd still have to die," Grey ordered.

Jane released a sigh before she eventually walked inside. She received a call from Giovanni that

afternoon and wondered why he would call him over.

She had actually told Giovanni that she doesn't want to have anything to do with him again.

Though, after the breaking of the news, she was, however, thinking otherwise. She would like to be

with Giovanni instead of Hercules, seeing how he had been treating her these days and the fact that he

was even dead.

Partnering with Giovanni would be the best for her. She could actually own the world with him.

"Good day, boss. I was surprised at your call."

Giovanni smiled and beckoned her over. "Come and have these drinks with me."

Alex looked at Jane, regarding her for a moment, while sipping his wine.

Jane hesitated for a moment before she walked closer. "You must be Alex, Giovanni's son."

Alex smiled softly. "I heard a lot about you from my father. It feels good to see you are back on our

side."

Jane smiled and looked at Giovanni. "Why am I really here?"

Giovanni sat up. "You told me you haven't seen Hercules, right? But how do you communicate?"

"Well, he was me but I haven't been able to set my eyes on him."

"Then the news could be through,” Alex smiled.

"Is there anyone that seemed closer to him? Someone we can ask and confirm his identity from,"

Giovanni demanded.

Jane thought for a moment. "What about Grey."

Alex stopped suddenly and gave her raised eyebrows. "Grey Fox?"

Giovanni looked at Alex. "What are you saying? Hercules is supposed to be Grey Fox. Which Grey Fox

are you talking about?"

"What!" Jane exclaimed softly. "What are you trying to say? Grey Fox is Hercules, alright but what Grey

Fox are you talking about?"

Giovanni was also looking at Alex and expecting an answer.

"Grey fox, the CEO of Victoria Skincare and the supervisor of Protos Pubblicita."

Jane was shocked for a moment. "Wait a moment, you mean he's Grey Fox? But his resume read Grey

Funnel," she revealed.

The two men looked at Jane, surprised.

"What are you saying? Grey is Fox and not Funnel. In fact, he's a friend of one of my friends. So, I'm

able to get his real name. In fact, he used to be married to Avery but they have divorced," Alex

explained.

Giovanni was watching and a lot of things were going through his mind." Could Grey Fox be Hercules?

If that is the case, then the news is untrue."

No," Alex shook his head briefly. "Grey Fox isn't Hercules. I've done a DNA test and it didn't match."

Giovanni nodded briefly. "Alright, but he will be useful to us. He will tell us everything he knows." "Well,

I must warn you. Grey is stronger. We will need a plan to get him." "I can work that out," Jane said

suddenly, with a smile on her face.
