Chapter 40: The trick
Ice melts in fire and perspiration dries in the breeze but Grey’s promise didn’t even melt Avery’s heart.
She turned to look at her, with a smirk at the tip of her mouth. “Seriously? How will you buy me one?
Will you steal?”
“Come on, Avery. Be serious! I’m not as incompetent as you think I am,” he muttered.
Avery laughed. It felt good to laugh after such a stressful day. “You are a very funny guy, Grey. And yes!
| think you are very incompetent. You should sit and watch me. I will get my father to approve the
divorce,” she said with determination.
Grey regarded her for a moment and took a step closer. “You are missing something here, Avery You
can’t get out of this marriage unless I want to.”
“We will get divorced soon, I assure you,” she finished and turned around to leave She stopped almost
immediately. “You won’t stay in this room tonight. You can stay with the maids for all I care,’ she walked
inside the bedroom and shut the door.
Grey let out a sigh. For once, he wished Charles was back He wished he could catch the spy and show
everyone that he was Hercules. He couldn’t actually wait to let all Robinson know that the guy they
insulted was Hercules.
But it won’t be as fast as he thought. He would have to earn his reputation as the in-law without
showing them he was Hercules
A message popped up on his phone. It was an employment invitation from the popular Protos
Pubblicita Grey heard about it during one of his trips to a company close by

Wait a moment, does Protos Pubblicita belong to Hercules?
Grey pulled into the parking lot and marveled at how big the structure of the building was Magnificent
was an understatement in describing the building
His father was the best. Though, he wondered why he never told him about Protos Pubblicita
He walked inside the lobby, while still admiring everywhere. It was a spacious building with a lot of
workers.
“Hi,” he moved to the lady busy speaking to someone on the phone.
The lady regarded him for a moment and then proceeded with what she was saying
Grey decided to give her space while she finished up. He used the opportunity however to look around
and he loved what he saw.
“Yes! What do you want! A voice said behind him suddenly
Grey turned to look at the lady again.” Hi, I’m Grey Fo_” he pulled to a stop immediately and
remembered that it was Funnel he saw on the message. Alfred must have changed his name. Protos
belonged to Fox, The surname would have triggered something. “Funnel.”
“Oh, you are the new worker that will be assigned to the secretary arc?”
Grey nodded quickly. ” Yes, I am”
* On,” she nodded briefly as a sly smile spread across her face. “Take the elevator to level 10. Then go
to the first office you see by your right. You will meet with the overall head of the secretaries.”
cm roudnt stop thinking there was something about her smule but he waved it off and expressed his
valitude instead beloxet proceeded as she had explained
He wind to a stop suddenly when he remembered that he didnt even ask her for the direction of the
plevator He however decided to ask around
Hello’ hp waved towards a man coming his way “Can you please show me to the elevator
“Oh you are a new wonter night?’ There was another sing on his face
Grey gathered his brows but still managed to nod “Yes, but why are you asking?
Nothing his expression changed quickly
That way” he pointed towards his left
Grey left after thanking him
The elevator was very easy to locate He went in but realized that the other workers were looking at him
as if he was a new ingredient in the market
He wondered if there was something about him or the suit he was putting on Well, he was wearing a
nice but they couldnt have been talking about it
The door of the elevator opened when he got to the len floors He walked out and his gaze searched
around there was no signol workers around but Grey thought it was because the particular floor was for
a high position in the office
He moved to the first office and knocked slightly There was no answer so he knocked even harder
He pulled back and wondered what was really happening
So he decided to open the door

He opened it and his eyes almost few outo! their sockets
Music was actually playing but for reason unknown to him he couldnt hear Or was the room
Soundproof?
The loom was a mess as there were drinks around while everyone’ dunced to the music
Grey shook his head to see if he was dreaming into the looked outside again to content if he was still in
the company or perhaps he was at a party arend
He eventually walked inside and closed the door No one in the room knew he was in, maybe it was
because of the loud music
He walked amidst them skeptical of what was really happening He was supposed to meet the head of
the secretary
He stopped suddenly as he stared at the desk His eyes even went even wider and darker at what he
was looking at Alady was on the desk while a guy was over her, and they were deep in their ecstasy
Who the tuch sen in the office and on the desk?
“Drink up’ Someone yelled encouragely
They didnt even seem bothered about their surroundings Why the luck would they turn his father’s
office into a bar or a hotel?
Grey’s gaze searched around quickly for where the MUSIC was playing from He couldn’t really find it
be ause of the people dancing around Instead, he went for the plugs
He was going to leach them a great lesson
He found the plug and smiled then pulled it out
Everywhere went eerily silent suddenly. “Who the fuck stopped the music!” A voice yelled angrily.
