CHAPTER 203
Chapter 203: Fake recipe owns all content.
After the meeting with the advertising company, Smith returned to his office with Mia.
Smith stopped in front of the desk, with his hands over it for a moment in a thoughtful manner. “We
need more funds.”
“Yes sir. Do you think we should ask LN for it?” Mia suggested.
Smith thought about it for some minutes and turned around to look at Mia. “That won’t work this
time. Avery wouldn’t allow me but I have to pay for this advertising company. I’m very positive about
this. It will surely work out.”
Mia sighed. “Do you think we should meet with Hercules for promotion? We will be able to pay later.”
“No,” Smith shook his head briefly. “I’m going to take a bank loan. It’s the best way in this case.”
Mia sighed. “Alright, boss.” She turned to leave but stopped almost immediately. Somehow, she
knew it was a bad idea to borrow from the bank because it was going to have a great effect on them
if something happened afterward.
But Smith was being stubborn and there was nothing to do but to listen to him.
Grey walked to the living room with a glass of wine. His phone rang suddenly, the noise dragged
him out of his thoughts. It was Maria.
“Hi, Maria.”
Maria took a deep breath. “Is something wrong? You are not at work,” she observed. Though, there
was another thing in her voice that Grey couldn’t get.
“Something came up. I will discuss it in person. Is everything alright at work?”
Maria took another deep breath. “David has called an emergency meeting because of you. He’s
going to have another one tomorrow as well,” she revealed.
Grey raised skeptical brows. “Why?”
“Irregularities and he didn’t hesitate to let everyone know that you guys went to
the same school. He even told them how lazy and dangerous you were,” she
sighed. “He’s trying to gather the board against you and have them remove
you,” she explained.
Grey smiled. “Seriously?”
“Yes, boss. As of now, I’m the only one supporting you. I don’t know what he
had fed the other executives with but they are also behind him,” she revealed.
“Let it be but keep me posted on whatever happens,” he expressed.
“Alright, sir. I will do that but do you need my help in any case? It’s unlike you to
stay at home unless something important comes up.”
Grey went silent for a moment. “You are quite brilliant. Well, Hattie kidnapped
Caramel and wanted the recipe before she would release her.”
“What! ” Maria exclaimed softly. “What are you going to do now?
Give her the recipe?”
“Yes, that’s what I plan on doing. I will talk to you later then,” he said in a voice
that left no room for other words.
“Alright boss, later,” she said and the line went off.
Grey dropped the call and stared into space. David was really passing his
boundary and he was just being nice to have left him at Protos Pubblicita.
Well, he had no time for him at that moment as he had to meet with Gregory
very soon.
Chloe felt a bit pained at the fact that she couldn’t tell the truth. She wished she
could stop Avery from divorcing Grey but it was too late. Who would have
thought that Grey was someone of great importance?
And she wondered why he kept it a secret.
Chloe hadn’t gone to Protos Pubblicita as Grey had told her to. Instead, she got
herself a phone with her money. She just couldn’t go, she was scared to.
Chloe was at a 5star hotel in one of the VIPs and she couldn’t stop thinking
about Avery and Grey, she felt it was her fault that they divorced. She has
always given her stupid advises.
A soft knock sounded on her door and she stood to unlock the door.
One of the attendants appeared in front of her with a serving tray.
Chloe blinked her eyes, “what? I didn’t order anything,” she was confused.
“Yes,” the lady affirmed. “But someone asked US to bring it over. That aside, he
told US to refund you. He has paid for everything, ” she revealed.
Chloe was a bit shocked and her mind strayed toward Grey. Could it be him?
“Oh yes,” the attendant remembered something. “He asked me to give you this,”
she expressed and stretched out a card which Chloe accepted.
The attendant pushed the serving tray inside just as Chloe read through the
word on it.
It goes, ‘I don’t like owning. That should be enough for the phone.’
Chloe looked up, still shocked. It was definitely from Grey and it meant that
Grey was around.
Grey entered the room and sat. Gregory and Don were around already.
“I had to come as early as I could. Is everything alright?” Gregory required.
Don nodded briefly. ” Caramel has been kidnapped. Hattie requires the cream recipe or Caramel
dies and we don’t even know where Caramel is currently.”
Gregory raised skeptical brows. ” What? Caramel? Who’s she?”
“Beatrice’s daughter,” Grey revealed.
Gregory’s eyes went wider. “Beatrice has a daughter? I thought her son was the one killed years
back when your mother died?”
Grey nodded briefly.” That’s how it turns out to be. But that doesn’t matter now. We need to plan her
escape because I’m not going to let anything happen to her,” he stated.
Gregory nodded briefly. ” Do you have a plan already?”
“The boss plans to give Hattie the cream recipe,” Don revealed.
Gregory got another shock of his life. ” what? You can’t give out the cream recipe like that,” he
complained.
Grey regarded Gregory for a moment. ” I’m not going to let Caramel die, Gregory. I don’t care what
happens but I must get Caramel back and I’ve only got till tonight to figure it out.”
Gregory looked at Grey. ” Does this only have to do with Beatrice or is there more you aren’t telling
US?”
Grey smiled softly. ” Are we going to talk about our plan or what?”
Gregory made a rumble of a laugh. ” Great, let it out.”
Greg regarded Gregory for a moment, then Don before he relaxed in his chair.
“I don’t plan on giving Hattie the real cream recipe but we need to find out where Caramel is. why?
Because Hattie might want to try out the recipe before she would release Caramel. Giving out the
fake recipe would be to buy US time,” he explained.
