CHAPTER 247
Chapter 247: Trust
Grey huffed, unable to believe what was coming out of Hattie’s mouth. He knew that Hattie was fed up with the progress of Victoria Skincare and would like to hasten things up before the CCS award.
And well, despite her tries, she couldn’t get the recipe or win against Victoria Skincare. So, now, she’s trying to make Grey give up on his own. Content is property © .
“Don’t pretend as if you didn’t hear what I’ve just said, ” Hattie muttered with a dark frown on her face.
Grey scoffed. “Because it sounded funny to the ears. Are you scared of losing? Because I don’t know why you would utter such ridiculous things from your mouth,” he taunted.
Linda nodded briefly, in a supportive way. “Yes, Mrs. Hattie. It’s not in our hands to pull out. Every individual is expected to participate in the award–winning program. Pulling out is a crime.
Hattie sent her a dirty stare that Linda adjusted. “Well, I’m not asking you about people’s opinions. I’m telling you what would benefit you. You had better follow this,” she warned in a low voice.
Grey smiled softly. “I’m sorry Miss Hattie but we can’t pull back,” he stood immediately. “If you don’t have anything else to say, I would like for us to end this impromptu meeting,” he remarked.
Hattie regarded him for a moment in anger before she got up. “I know what to do, Grey. Just pull out now when you stil have the time to do so,” she made the final warning before she stepped out with the
entourage.
Linda looked at Grey. “What are you going to do?”
“We will never pull out, don’t worry about that. You guys can continue working, I know what to do about it,” he assured and walked out of the office with Linda.
Hattie was trying him and he was going to find a way for her. He would find something to disturb her with so that she wouldn’t be able to disturb any of Grey’s workers until the CCS award.
Alex wasn’t sure about the information he received on the phone. The DNA result he conducted on Grey was out but something was unclear about it.
So, Alex took a drive to the hospital to retrieve the result and read it himself before he would present it to his father. Though his father doubted his claim, he was readily waiting for the result.
Alex took the result and perused it quickly.
A sigh escaped him quickly.
“Boss, is something wrong? ” one of the men asked.
Alex hesitated for a moment before he looked up at the man for a moment. “The DNA doesn’t match. Grey isn’t Hercules, ” he announced and the men released a sigh of relief.
“But If he’s not Hercules, who then is Hercules?”
Grey had to return home immediately, coupled with the fact that he was very tired. He knew Caramel would be at Protos Pubblicita which means they wouldn’t be able to talk until after work.
Though, he was still anxious to ask her about things.
He placed a call to Don immediately after he stepped inside the house.
Chapter 247 frust
“Good day boss,” Don boomed from the other side
Grey moved to the bar to get a bottle of champagne. “I need you to do something for me Can you say your hands on hard drugs?”
Don hesitated. “Is something wrong boss?”
Grey took a glass cup and the bottle of champagne before he headed up to his room. I’m planning something for Hattie and it must happen before the CCS day, I mean as soon as possible,” he muttered.
He was already thinking of what to do with Hattie before he came up with another way that would Affect him. And fortunately for him, he came up with a nice plan.
“What?”
“Get me the hard drugs and I will explain the rest to you. Meanwhile, make sure you are extra careful
with it,” he advised.
“Alright boss, I will get back to you later about it,” he assured.
Grey nodded briefly and hung up.
He drank out of the wine before he was able to take a shower and sleep.
A soft hand caressing his bare chest woke him up. He was so tired that he didn’t even know when the door opened or when someone entered.
Grey opened his eyes and focused them on Caramel. At first, he thought he was dreaming as he thought about Caramel a lot before he was able to sleep.
“How are you doing? You look tired, “Caramel caressed his right cheek slowly, a faint smile curving at
her lips.
Grey gathered his brows. “Caramel?”
Caramel nodded briefly. “Did I scare you?”
“Why are you here?” he asked, ignoring her question.
Caramel smiled again and retrieved her hand. “It felt like you were avoiding me. I’ve seen you since two days ago. So, I decided to check up after work today,” she explained, standing up and taking some
steps away.
Grey regarded her for a moment, as he thought of how he was supposed to ask her about what Mattee and Charles told him. He didn’t want her to see him as a stalker and he didn’t want her to suspect him.
“Beatrice told me you went out on a business trip and I found out that you are the new supervisor of Protos Pubblicita, “she turned to look at him, with a wide smile plastered on her face. “I’m so happy about that. Though, I waited for your call but,” her face failed. “You never did.”
Grey felt sadness slip into him at the expression on her face. “I’m sorry Caramel. I didn’t mean to do that. I was just busy, “he explained.
Well, he was. In fact, he was so busy.
Grey stood, his gaze still on Caramel even though she wasn’t looking at him again. “Caramel, do you still trust me?”
Caramel went mute for a moment and Grey suddenly feared what he was going to hear. He had always experienced disappointment from ladies and it wouldn’t really shock him if it happens again.
“I do,” Caramel sucked in her breath. “I still do,” and she turned to look at Grey. “This was why I didn’t give
Alex what he wanted.“
