CHAPTER 133
Chapter 133: Hit differently A soft knock sounded on the door suddenly. Grey turned to look at who it was. It was Richard and so, Grey signaled for him to enter the car.
He turned toward Jimmy again. “What about the other thing I asked for?”
Jimmy pulled out a piece of paper. “Here,” he stretched it out to him. Grey took it and placed it in the safe. “I will check it later. Work starts tomorrow,” he revealed
Jimmy nodded briefly. “I will be on my best behavior,” he assured.
Grey smiled. “I will see you later then. Did you add the numbers of these guys? They would need to come to the office with their credentials,” he explained.
Jimmy nodded once. “I understand and I placed them together,” he assured.
Grey smiled. “Tomorrow morning then,” he finished and gathered the files together.” Richard should come to the passenger seat,” he offered.
Jimmy bowed slightly. “Goodbye boss,” he got down and walked away.
Richard swallowed harder before he got down and walked to the passenger side. He knew what Grey was going to talk about and it scared him.
Grey pulled out of the hospital after Richard had gotten in. For some minutes, he didn’t say a word and Richard wondered what he was thinking about.
“Aside from being Don’s right man, what do you do?” Great started. Richard took a deep breath. “Nothing.”
Grey nodded briefly and took a turn toward KK CORPORATION. He placed a call to Linda and she picked up immediately.
“Hello boss.”
“Hi, could you meet me at KK Corporation now? We have something to discuss,” he hinted.
“Alright, I will be on my way,” she acknowledged.
“So, I’m going to employ you and I would pay you a salary of 50,000dollars every month,” he announced.
Richard’s eyes went wide with shock. “What? Seriously? I mean I’m so surprised.”
Grey smiled slightly. “You don’t even know what your job is all about.”
Richard shrugged slightly. “It doesn’t matter actually. Hercules can send me on an errand without paying me. If you are paying ine, then it would be a pleasure for me.” Grey saw the light turned red and he pulled to a stop. “Good, I like that. But well, I will be paying you to kill yourself,” he revealed.
Richard’s heart made a sudden thud in his chest. “What?”
Grey nodded briefly “Yes, for going against me and risking your life,” he said nonchalantly.
“Please boss, don’t kill me! I will serve you for the rest of my life. I will never disobey you
again,” he stuttered as he pleaded for his life.
The traffic light showed green and Grey pressed forward. A smile suddenly appeared on his face but he looked away to conceal it.
“Please, Richard was so heartbroken. “I was just kidding, Richard,” he announced and glanced at him. “Why would I want to kill someone like you?”
Richard stared, confused for a moment. “You are not going to kill me for what I did?”
Grey shook his head. “Why would I do that?” he laughed. “But I wanted to know who put you to the job. Was it Don?”
Richard sighed. “Yes, he was the one.”
Grey nodded again, several times. “I’m not good with guns. I need some tutorials concerning it and I want to hit the gym. Will you be my instructor?”
Richard’s head did a flip at the announcement. “Boss, I’m not qualified.”
“Fortunately for you, I chose you as the qualified team but it’s your choice to accept the job or not. So, what will you do?”
Richard smiled. “I will be glad. Though, I will have to tell Don about it.”
“Sure and I won’t stop you from being his right man. In fact, I only need you for three months. I will be good by then,” he assured, “I’m so glad! Thank you so much boss!” he expressed sincerely. “I’m really grateful.” “Alright. So, when do we start?”Grey inquired.
“Well, I guess we could go slowly. How about the weekend?”
Grey thought for a moment and remembered that he was supposed to see Caramel that weekend. But he decided he would ask her to come to the gym. It would be the best.
“That’s good. What about the other one?”
Richard thought for a moment. “I think we should find a nice place for that. It should be spacious and free of people. We don’t want anyone to know we are training on how to use the gun or they might suspect you,” Richard advised. Grey thought for a moment and saw sense in what he had said. “That’s right. I think my house will be perfect for that. We could always find a day to go to my estate. We will be able to go for as long as we want over there without getting interrupted or suspected, “he assured.
Richard nodded briefly, “That’s cool then.”
“I will drop you off then,” Grey announced suddenly.
Richard nodded again. “I will appreciate that.” Just as Richard alighted, a call came through Grey’s phone immediately. It was an unknown number again
“Hello, may I know who this is?”
Silence permeated the other side of the phone and when Grey thought of hanging up, a soft
voice whispered from the background.
“Please, don’t hang up on me, please, you have to hear me out,” the voice pleaded softly.
It took a while for Grey to understand what she meant. “Sorry, I’m not following. May I know who this is?” “Nora. Please, don’t hang up!” She added quickly as if she knew what Grey was going to do.
Grey sighed. “What do you want?”
“May I have a chat with you, please? I really need to speak with you,” she said desperately.
“I’m so busy, Nora. I don’t have the time for it. What do you want to tell me? We can discuss it right now.”Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.
Nora sobbed silently. “Please, it’s my last request. I will never disturb you after today. I’m begging you,” she expressed with a strained voice. Grey sighed. What should he do?
