CHAPTER 105

Chapter 105: unexpected meeting “Wow! How did you convince them, Boss?” Liam asked, surprised. There was a big smile on his face.

Maria regarded Grey for a moment. “I knew he had a perfect plan. We don’t need to ask how he did it, as far as everything is moving accordingly,” she rescued Grey.

Grey gave her a nice smile. “She’s right. Well, so our investors are back. We should proceed with our daily affairs.”

“Did you tell Hercules about the situation here?” Liam inquired suddenly.

Grey watched him for a moment. “No, why should I? And only Jane has access to Hercules. I’m just a manager of SU world,” he explained.

Maria nodded.” Yes, do you know the type of people Hercules speaks with? I’m sure we are not in his league,” Maria pointed out.

Grey laughed at this. To think he was the Hercules they were talking about.

Liam nodded.” I will go back to work then, even though I feel like we need to celebrate our success,” he suggested with a smile.

Grey observed him for a moment and slowly shook his head. “I don’t think it’s necessary.” A soft knock sounded on the door. And it opened to reveal Tina with a bright smile on her face.

“I have good news boss,” she announced and walked closer. ” Seriously? What’s it about?” Maria urged softly.

“Mr. Jason on WW has sent our payment to the company account. That aside, he sent excess money. He said he would love to get more of our Surveillance cameras. We are supposed to set an

appointment and discuss it. Then, we could make a contract that it would be written and because he wants us to be the only one that would be supplying him with Surveillance cameras,” she explained with a wide smile.

“What!” Maria couldn’t contain the joy in her. “This is a piece of great news! Now, this is a cause for celebration. Are we celebrating, boss?” She pouted at Grey.

Grey smiled eventually, succumbing to their request. “Alright, after work then. You can inform the staff. There will be a nice treat.”

“At 5star restaurant?” Maria asked excitedly.

“Now, Maria, you enjoy nice things, don’t you?” Maria smiled.” I’m sorry boss. I was just excited to go back there. Their meals are top-notch,” she muttered and looked away. “What? Have you guys been to 5star?” Liam asked, shocked.

“Yes,” Maria responded.” It was very beautiful.”

Grey thought for a moment.” Alright, let’s do that. Tina should book tables for us, depending on the numbers of workers attending,” he said finally.

“Yes!” Maria whooped in delight.

Eventually, they walked out of the office and gave Grey the space that he wanted.

His lunch was on the table. He grabbed the tarco and munched quietly.

Grey had only an hour to himself before it was closing hour. He was tired but he remembered the promise he made to the workers. Walking out of the office, Tina rushed to him. “Boss, I booked three tables. The workers were happy that they would be having something like this. Only a few of them had

things to do,” she explained. Just as the elevator was about to close, Maria and Liam rushed inside. “Damn, I almost missed that,” she laughed and turned to Tina.” Is everyone really going?”

“Only a few of them are staying back,” Tina responded. “I told you,” Liam confirmed, with a smile. Maria sighed. “We’ve never had something like this in the SU world. Everyone must be very excited,” she revealed. Grey regarded her for a moment.” You look excited, Maria.” Maria laughed aloud. “Of course, I’m very excited. Are we getting a VIP?” ” What?” Liam cut in quickly.” That’s a lot! Are we using the company fund or what?”

Grey smiled softly,” Meet me in 5star,” he said simply and stepped out. Maria watched Grey for a moment. Actually, he knew that he could afford it. Jane feared him, and somehow she didn’t believe the fact that he wasn’t close to Hercules.

As far as she was concerned, Grey might be as close as Jane was to Hercules. Maybe, Grey was Hercules’ spy. So, she decided to be on her best behavior. She

wanted Grey to put in a good word for her in front of Hercules. Perhaps Hercules would promote her to a big company of his and increase her salary. It was all she sought for.

Grey soon pulled up at 5star restaurant and he submitted his membership card for a VIP room so that all the workers would be in one room.

“OMG! I have never been here!” One of the workers squealed excitedly.

Liam moved to Maria.” Is this from the company fund or what? I don’t believe Mr. Grey is so rich to this extent,” he voiced his opinion.

Maria looked at him.” I think you need to be very careful around Boss, or you might get fired or something for running your mouth carelessly,” she advised. Liam’s heart made a sudden thud as he

decided to get settled.

Some of the workers were taking pictures and not even ready to settle down and order. Though, the waiters were already taking orders from some workers. “This is the best day of my life. At least I can brag to my friends that I have been here,” Tina said excitedly.

Grey smiled at them. His phone rang suddenly and it was Alfred. He turned to look at Maria who sat beside him. “I will be back. You are free to order whatever you want.”

Maria nodded. “Alright, Boss.”

The phone had stopped ringing when Grey walked out of the room. He waited for a moment, expecting Alfred to call back but when he didn’t, he dialed his line.

Alfred picked up immediately. “Hello, Grey. So, I’ve informed the elders and we’ve decided to have our first meeting. Is that fine with you?”

Grey nodded, unconsciously taking a step away from where he stood initially. “I think it’s ok. We’ve never had the opportunity to talk anyways.” “Yes but Aphrodite isn’t around currently. Though, she told me she would shorten her trip because of you. Then, she would go back.” Alfred explained. “Alright, let’s do that. We can decide on the time whenever she comes back.” “Alright then but be very careful. Like I said earlier, I don’t trust Audrey’s men and I don’t trust Audrey either,” he acknowledged. Grey smiled at his choice of words. “Alright, no problem. Let’s talk later then.”

The phone went off and he decided to join the others in the room.

Just as Grey looked up from his phone, his feet froze to the ground and his eyes went wide with shock. This is the property of Nô-velDrama.Org.

He wanted to say something but the word was suddenly stuck in his throat as he stared at the man watching him from rooms away from him.
