CHAPTER 149
Chapter 149: The Grandmother Giovanni has been asking Jane for some information about Grey but she has been reluctant to share.
Actually, Jane met Giovanni at a birthday party and since then, the two have been a bit closer to each other.
Jane didn’t know if Giovanni liked her genuinely but she wasn’t ready to place business and personal matters at the same level. So, she had never given out anything concerning Gio. But that was exactly what she was going to do. It was going to be a payback at Hercules that lost a loyal worker. “So, Jane. It’s rare actually that you would want to see me like this,” Giovanni smiled softly. Even at sixty, he was still a good-looking man. Sometimes, Jane would wonder how handsome he must have looked when he was very young.
S owns all content.
“Actually, I wanted to tell you something. It’s a positive response to what you’ve been asking for me,” she revealed. Giovanni gave her confused brows.” Seriously? What can that be?”
Jane closed her eyes for another moment as she berated herself. Was she supposed to reveal it or not? Well, the contract binding them has been broken. Jane decided that she could say whatever as she wasn’t the secretary again. “Well, Hercules’s real name is Grey Fox,” she declared. Giovanni regarded her for a moment before he chuckled slightly. “I’m aware.” Jane stared at him, lost and shocked. “You do? How? And if you know, why did you ask of me?”
Giovanni sat up, poured himself some champagne, and gulped it down at a go.” You should know that I always have a way to discover things. I know that Hercules is Fox Grey Michael,” he pointed out. Jane’s eyes went wide and dark with shock.” What? How?” Giovanni sighed and relaxed in his chair. “I didn’t know initially, which was why I asked you but well, I have a lot of spies around. And the good
news is that I just had one in Protos Pubblicita. She gave me everything I needed to know,” he explained.
Jane raised a brow.” She?” Giovanni smiled, “She’s not the only one monitoring Hercules. Though, I’m still
quite disappointed as I still don’t know where Hercules is or who is he exactly,” he muttered.
Jane gurgled. She didn’t even expect Giovanni to guess Hercules’ real name which only meant that the person was close to Jane. It could even be someone that Jane talks with every day.
Anyone could be a spy. Jane made a mental calculation on who the spy would have been. “You will never find out, Jane,” he said suddenly, jerking her out of her thoughts. “Oh, I heard you were dismissed, was that why you are here?” Jane rolled her eyes. “I was demoted, and not dismissed,” she corrected with a hint of frustration.
Giovanni laughed. “That was why I said you should join me. Join me Jane and I will give you everything you have always wanted.”
Jane regarded him for a moment, as she thought about it. It would be great for her to join Giovanni but she found it somehow.
Truly, Hercules has been lagging in terms of business and being the richest but Jane just loved working in Protos Pubblicita. It was her ambition and something she wanted since the creation of the company. And she had worked her bone out to see that the company get where it was at that present time.
If she left, it would be like losing all her hard work but she doesn’t want that
“I’m not going to tell anyone anything, just as it has always been but I can’t work for you, Gio.” She stood and walked out of the room without waiting for Giovanni to say another word.
Grey had a great time choosing an assistant even though he had a different plan for choosing the post of supervisor. He had different things he wanted to be working on. That aside, he wanted to make Victoria’s skincare a blast. So, he was more focused on it.
His phone rang suddenly as he left Protos Pubblicita. It was Beatrice. “Hi, Grey.”
“Yes, how are you doing?” “Very much fine and the business is going well as well. We got everything we would need and the production would fully kick off tomorrow. Will you be around
when we make our first Victoria skincare?”
Grey smiled.” That’s not such a bad idea. I will be there very earlier,” he assured.
He felt this satisfaction deep inside of him that he was going to do something that his mother had always wanted. “Alright, talk to you later or,” she hesitated.” Will you come over to my place for dinner?” Beatrice inquired. “No, I have plans. Let’s have dinner together sometimes.” “Alright, I will talk to you later then,” she announced and the phone went off. Grey drove to 5star restaurant. It was a big building that consisted of a bar and suites.
5star was the venue for the elders’ meeting. In fact, the meeting was going to be held in Hercules VIP room which was on the highest floor of the building.
Chloe was having a meeting with one of the managers that she was modeling for. Actually, it was a meeting that shouldn’t have been held but Chloe always had a way of doing her things.
“Don’t forget what you promised,” Kanye reminded her again, as they stepped out of the VIP suite.
Actually, Kanye was the manager of one of the popular musicians who was looking for the main model to showcase his music with. He was also a VIP in 5star. Chloe then decided to speak with Kanye secretly and she even promised to give him a share of the money as long as she got the job. That
aside, she was going to introduce him to some people in high positions in society. They made and sealed the deal.
“I won’t. As long as you fulfill your side of the bargain, I will,” she promised with a smile.
They bumped into Grey who was looking for Hercules’ private room number. He ignored them and went in search of the room numbers. Chloe felt a stab of annoyance. She had never liked Grey anyways. “What did he just do? Did he just walk past me as if he didn’t know I was here?” She asked rhetorically, feeling pride in herself. “I sincerely don’t know him and I don’t know how he got here,” Kanye responded.
Chloe chuckled softly.” I know him. He’s a live-in son-in-law. He’s a useless and poor man. I just hope he’s not here to steal. I mean this is a VIP location, isn’t it?” Kanye felt alerted at Chloe’s explanation. He turned around to check what Grey was really doing. Then, he realized that he was in front of the VIP room that supersede the others in the row.
Actually, Kanye had once offered millions of dollars to rent the room because he was curious as to why the room was out of reach for others. It was at that moment that he got to know that it was reserved for Hercules.
If Grey was useless but he was still moving in the VIP section, then that meant he really wanted to do something bad.
“Hey! Get away from that door!” Kanye yelled at Grey. “Or I will call the cops!” He threatened In a thick accent. Grey turned to look at him.” You can call if your hands are itching.” This enraged Kanye and he lurched forward in anger. He took Grey by the collar. “What the fuck did you just say? Repeat it if you dare! Motherfucker!” He yelled. Kanye was a Traveller and has gone to different countries. So, it was easy for him to switch accents.
Chloe moved closer to them with a satisfied smug on her face. “I’ve been keeping this guy in malice. I think it’s the best time to deal with him.” Grey chuckled slightly.” I’m sure you know this place isn’t yours?” “And is it yours? Useless son-in-law!”
“You didn’t add ‘live-in’ because that’s what he is. He stays with the bride’s family,” Chloe laughed. ” Seriously?” Kanye asked, irritated. Chloe smiled and turned to look at Grey.” I will let you go on one condition. Kneel and call me your grandmother. Well, that’s what I will ever be to you,” she laughed. “But I want you to say the word.”
Kanye squeezed the collar tighter.” Do that now if you wish to live and I won’t call the securities on you.”
