Chapter 67: A threat from the Boss
Grey stared at Caramel for a moment. “Your company is Digital world ? He asked, surprised
Caramel nodded briefly, with a wide smile on her face. It is.”
“Wow. Unbelievable! I guess we will see later then,” he announced
Caramel nodded ‘Though, we might have to change our clothes We could stop by any boutique on our
way to the cinema,” she offered.
That’s good!” Grey opened the door and got down “We will see later then. Till then Caramel nodded
once “Till then,” she confirmed
Grey watched Caramel drive off before he proceeded into SU world. His second phone rang suddenly
It was the number he gave Charles as Hercules
He didn’t want to get confused, so he used a different phone. So, whoever calls him on his iPhone,
means the person wanted to speak with Hercules while his other phone was for people that knew him
as Grey Fox
Grey knew who it was He was expecting Seth’s call anyways. He refused 10 pick it up and instead
proceeded to his office
Tina stood up on seeing him “Good morning sir, Lotion A company wants to book an appointment with
you I’m thinking of making it today since they want to see you as soon as possible,” she explained and
took Grey’s briefcase
Make it tomorrow. I have plans for today,” he responded and opened the door. His phone started
ringing again and it was Seth
“Ok, I will remind you of the appointment you have by 12,” she jibed
Grey looked up at her and nodded “Do that. How is the making going? Were they able to finish the
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtsurveillance cameras yesterday?”
Tina shook her head negatively
Not yet. It remains ten and they are currently on it.”
Grey took his seat and pulled the files on the table closer to him “Tew Maria to see me in the next two
hours”
Tina nodded and turned around to leave
The phone stopped ringing but it started ringing again, almost immediately Grey decided to pick it since
he was alone
“Hello, Hercules,” the voice sounded nervous Who wouldn’t be nervous speaking with Hercules? After
all, he was rated as the richest man in the city, and with his business, he’s expanding to the world
“Hello, Seth.”
There were a few minutes of silence. “How did you know sir?” Surprise showed in his tone
Grey nearly laughed but had to bit it back in Seth, who would never speak with him, was being
respectful on the phone How would he feel if he discovered that Grey was actually Hercules?
‘I was expecting your call Charles told me you requested my number. Though, I don’t understand why
you did that,’ Grey feigned ignorance
“Well,’ he stuttered I wanted us to talk about the 70% share that you want me to buy Can we see
anywhere and talk
Grey groaned You do know that I’m a busy man? And I have no time to be meeting you. You had better
say what you want or forget about ill’ He announced with a smirk
“Yes, I’m sorry for proposing that, ‘ his voice was still shaky When we signed the contract, you said you
would let me buy it back when I’m ready to,” he explained. And in fact, you gave me a fifteen years
extension This is just five years’
Grey went silent for a moment, as he thought of an answer “Seth, listen very attentively. I got the
shares from you and you should buy them back. If you can’t pay me in two weeks, be ready to let go of
the company Then, I will be generous to pay you the remaining 30% which I know wouldn’t benefit you
since Chris has 20% of the shares,” he acknowledged.
Seth swallowed harder “Are you playing me?”
Grey got up and moved to his window I’m a businessman, I don’t play around but well, I love playing
games,” he teased with a smile
Seth should pay for embarrassing him, a hard way
“I will be expecting my money before the stipulated time,” he finished up and hung up before Seth could
say anything
Seth was very angry at the outcome He knew that Hercules was a dangerous man but he thought he
was already getting acquainted with him
What was he supposed to do?
He got up and banged on the table angrily He didn’t know what he was supposed to do
The door opened suddenly and Seth felt the bullet in his head go off
“Who the fuck is that?” He yelled in anger, then looked up to discover it was Nora
He sighed and looked away, devastated and exasperated
Nora used to be Seth’s receptionist but she got promoted recently as the secretary after she lelt Grey
and got intimate with Seth
“Seth, your next appointment is in one hour I’m here to inform you earlier,” she explained
Seth’s head was bent, and his fists clenched even harder on the desk She noticed this and felt
something
was wrong
“Seth, is everything alright?”
‘Yes! I just need to settle some things Cancel all my appointments for today but let Smith inside the
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmmoment he arrives,” he ordered.
Nora nodded and moved closer to place a kiss on his forehead
Seth groaned and acted indifferently Nora shrugged it off, thinking it was work, and walked out
The door opened again and Seth looked up at Smith. He smiled. “Hi Smith, he moved closer and they
shook hands.
‘Is everything alright?” Smith noticed the worried look on his face
Nol Nothing is fine Hercules suddenly asked me to buy his 70% share,” he announced and took his
seat on the sofa
Smith sat as well Whal?” He was more surprised “I thought you said he would give you time for you to
be able to buy it again?
Seth nodded quickly. “Thal was our agreement but he suddenly proposed this. In fact, he’s threatening
me. I’m supposed to pay it back in two weeks.”
Smith’s eyes went wide with shock Hercules is the boss of one of the mafia groups in the city. You must
not annoy him He’s deadly He pointed out.
Seth nodded once ” That’s why I’ve called you. I need you to help me with any amount
Smith sighed. I’m sorry but I can’t help you. My uncle gave the company back to Avery,” he announced
sadly
Seth regarded him for a moment. “Wait, I thought you said Mr Lucy would give the company to you if
Avery married a useless man Is Grey not useless enough?”
He is!’ Smith confirmed ” That was why I had to plan it! That was why I had to carry Grey into the room
and let them have sex, knowing that Lucy would be so angry at Avery,” he explained, frustrated But he
changed overnight. I don’t know what I’m supposed to do to get the company back if the company was
with me, I would have been able to pull out the company funds for you
Seth’s eyes widened with fear What am going to do now?”
