CHAPTER 147
Chapter 147: Dismissed or not? The breakfast was weird that morning. No one was talking. Everyone ate in silence.
Smith couldn’t stop staring at Grey. He got to KK corporation the day earlier and discovered that Grey had done some adjustments. He was really going to make use of the company. The funniest thing was that he was getting into the same business-like as them. Smith couldn’t believe it at first until he saw the evidence staring right in his face. Grey was even going to start production soon. When Smith questioned Linda about the name of the creams, she refused to say it. It seemed like she had changed her loyalty. Well, typical of her. Avery however was thinking about the lies that her mother had cooked up earlier because of Grey and the fact that she was reluctant to come home, and was still trying to make Avery see sense in what she did.
However, Avery didn’t know if she wanted it or not.
“Avery, where’s your mother?” Lucy was just so tired of the silence and the fact that Emma had refused to come home.
“She’s in her private house but she wouldn’t come home.”
Lucy sighed. “Tell her to call me or come to work today. She wouldn’t hide away forever anyways.” Avery let out a sigh. “Alright grandfather.” Lucy looked at Grey. ” Are you alright, Grey?” Grey looked up with a smile. He also noticed the change in Lucy’s behavior. “I’m fine, sir.” “Good, I will be leaving first then,” Alfred excused himself. In Smith gave Grey another cold stare before he got up and left as well.

Chris hadn’t been opportune to see how far his work had gone. So, he decided to go to SU world that day.
His business partners and other businessmen that he knew assured him of success. Though, he hadn’t been chanced to call them and ask. Chris pulled up in front of SU world. He had a date that night with Avery and he
didn’t know who sent Avery the money but he knew that he was finally on the right track with Avery.
It won’t take a long time for Avery to be fully his.
Chris walked inside the company. It was his first time anyways. So, he didn’t know how it all was.
He moved towards the receptionist, who had been staring non-stop at him the movement he entered the lobby. Chris was a handsome man that easily gave girls the butterflies. Content is property © .
“Hi, may I see the manager? I mean Grey?” The lady shook her head. “I’m sorry but Mr. grey doesn’t work here again. Do you want me to connect you with the new manager?” Chris smiled happily. He didn’t know that his plan would work so great. Well, he expected the CEO to fire Grey but he didn’t think it would happen so fast.
“Oh, no. It doesn’t matter. I will leave now then,” he expressed. There was nothing else to do anyways. He got what he came for.
The receptionist smiled. “Alright.”
Just as Chris turned to leave, he saw Jane coming toward him with a dark frown on her face. She was complaining about something but Chris couldn’t hear as he was far away from her.
Chris was familiar with Jane as he had done a lot of business with Jane. That aside, Jane was a lady that every businessman must have close to. But he wondered what she was doing at SU world at such
time. Maybe she needed to get Surveillance cameras from SU world.
“Jane?” He called
Jane pulled to a stop suddenly as her gaze met with Chris. A terror escaped her and it looked like she wanted to escape. Then, she slowly released a sigh and walked closer to Chris.
“Hi Chris,” she feigned a smile even though she felt really awful inside of her.
Chris reciprocated her smile. “How are you doing? It’s been a while.” “Manager, do you want me to do anything for you?” The receptionist asked suddenly.
Chris entered into shock. ” What? Manager?” He couldn’t believe his ears. Jane was the secretary of a big company. How come she was working as a manager of such a useless and nameless company like SU world?
Jane sighed and turned to look at the receptionist. “I will let you know if I need your assistance,” then she turned to look at Chris.” We can talk in our office.”
Chris nodded briefly and followed her into the office. He was still shocked as he sat in front of her while admiring the small office that was nothing in comparison to how wide and spacious her office at Protos Pubblicita was.

“What happened, Jane? Why are you the manager of this nameless company?” Jane sighed, feeling very useless.” It’s not a nameless company. This company belonged to Hercules.” Chris’s eyes went wide with shock. “What?” Jane let out another sigh, for the umpteenth time that day. “It’s just one out of numerous companies that Hercules has,” she revealed. “And me being the manager is such a long story. I don’t even want to get into it right now. I’m still pained by it,” she revealed softly.
Chris was more than shocked. He sat up quickly. “What about the previous manager? Was he fired?”
Jane shook her head slightly.” No, he was transferred. In fact, promoted.” Chris gathered his brows and watched Jane. ” Promoted? You mean by Hercules?” It was at that moment that he remembered what he had done. He told people to threaten the CEO without knowing Hercules was the CEO. Words must not reach Hercules or it could be a disaster.
“Yes. He’s now the supervisor of Protos Pubblicita,” Jane announced suddenly, alerting Chris.
“What!” Chris exclaimed. Shock kept him motionless and speechless for a while. It felt like he was daydreaming. Shock kept him incoherent. Here he was thinking Grey fired but it turned out that he was instead promoted into such an important position in a popular company. Then, it came at him dangerously. He was the one that pushed Hercules. Chris discussed it with the men to find a way to make the CEO dismiss or fire Grey. And well, he was really dismissed, but it turned out that he was assigned another position at a more higher and popular company, With Grey in such a high position, Chris knew that he would be a threat to him. Damn! Avery would be forced to choose between them and he didn’t what that. Avery was his.
