Chapter 228: The big Boss
Smith’s heart raced as he stared down at the laptop screen.
Actually, when he saw the sale decline, his heart nearly stopped beating. He didn’t know what went
wrong. The sale was increasing so high that Smith knew he was eventually going to enter CCS finals.
The door burst open and he didn’t even know. His attention was all focused on the screen of the laptop
as if a miracle would happen at that moment.
“Boss!” Mia screamed suddenly, jerking Smith out of his thoughts. He looked up at her, with an
expression that showed how angry he was.
Well, Mia turned a blind eye to it. “We have a problem, sir.”
“Of course! Do you think I don’t know?” He snapped. “I have the fucking laptop in front of me!” He
yelled.
Mia stepped back in fear. “I am so sorry sir but I just need to report this to you very quickly.”
Smith sighed. “What is this all about?”
Mia moved closer and placed her notepad in front of him. “We got this mail this morning.”
Smith read through and his head did a flip. “What the fuck is this?”
“They would like to pull back from advertising for us. They blame it on declining sales. According to
them, it’s not even their fault. They’ve tried their best in promoting our products but it didn’t yield any
effort. They are planning on sending us the money we paid them the last time.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtSmith couldn’t believe his ears.” What the fuck?”
Mia nodded briefly.” We are going against Victoria Skincare and it seems like they have more pundits
than us. We should have continued our sales slowly. We shouldn’t_.”
Smith gave her a dirty glare that shut her up for good.” Are you saying I shouldn’t have decided to
promote our company?”
Mia sighed. “No, but we kept displaying them besides Victoria skincare, even on social media. Now, it
looks like Victoria’s skincare has skyrocketed again. In fact, it’s of the same level as Smooth Therapy,”
she revealed.
Smith closed his eyes in defeat.” What do we do now?”
Mia went quiet for a moment. “We don’t have any funds left. Though, the company is still earning. So,
we are optimistic about the future. If not, we will have to declare bankruptcy when the bank demands
their money,” she explained.
Smith collapsed into the chair, and his eyes lost their color.
“And you have to decide very fast. I’ve seen the news everywhere. Someone from Victoria skincare is
definitely monitoring us. We need to make a decision soon,” she said urgently.
Smith cleared the table in anger. He lost! He had lost to Grey!
What was he supposed to do at that moment?
Grey’s phone rang as he entered the car. Jimmy shut the door and moved to the driver’s seat.
Richard was the second chauffeur. He was the one driving the leading car, while Jimmy would drive the
second car
Charles entered the car beside him.
“Yes,” Grey said to the receiver. It was Maria and he wondered why she was calling. Well, Grey hadn’t
even told her he was coming to Protos Pubblicita that afternoon.
Grey took his time, changing his hairstyle. Though, he made sure it was a very new hairstyle and not
the one he wore to the Billionaire club party.
“Good morning boss, I have some news for you,” Maria declared.
Grey nodded briefly, as he pulled down the mask. “Yes, proceed.”
“Victoria Skincare has skyrocketed. The sales are very much now that Beatrice is going to have to
double the production and I hope we can take in another employee. That will facilitate production. I told
Linda I would inform you and she shouldn’t worry about it,” she explained.
Grey smiled, feeling pleased by the news. “I will see Linda soon and have some discussion with her but
no, I won’t be accepting any employee for now. Who knows, spies might infiltrate our base,” he
informed.
“That’s actually right. I’m sorry for not thinking in that direction,” she apologized.” The second thing is
that there will be a meeting between the executive to determine who the new supervisor would be,”
Maria announced.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmGrey scoffed.” You mean to say they removed me and still had the audacity to determine who the next
supervisor would be?” He was amazed.
“Yes, boss. I think you need to come. David is probably going to do more,” she stressed.
Grey smiled softly.” I’m already on my way.”
“W_what!” Maria stammered. “I don’t understand. Do you mean you are coming as Grey or Hercules?”
Hercules and I will soon be at the office. Meet me at the lobby,” he ordered.
Asterisk.Yes, sir.She stuttered for words.Grey hung up and placed the mask over again.Actually, the
new number plates of the carsread Hercules, so people were able to reasonhe was the one in the
car.Soon enough, the cars pulled to a stop in the garage.Jimmy hurried to open the door for
Hercules.He stepped out in a black tuxedo that seemedto look like it was created because of
him.Charles walked beside him, while Richardand Jimmy walked behind him.They entered the lobby
together.Maria had already informed them that Hercules was onhis way, so they all line up to
GreatHercules for the first time in ten years.The workers formed two lines, one at Gray's right and
theother at his left because of how many they were.Maria walked closer as Gray andthe men stepped
inside the lobby.Welcome, Hercules.The workers bowed.Welcome, boss.They chorused, and no one
could raise their heads.Despite knowing Hercules had the mask on, gray regardedthem for a moment
before he walked forward.His gaze searched around for Davidand found him amidst the executive.His
head was bowed as well.Gray laughed inwardly.What would have happened if David knew who he
was?Or David?Raise your head, he said suddenly, and everyone gasped.Was Hercules going to let
David see his face?
