CHAPTER 263
Chapter 263: The coffee
"We got something for SU world. Talk with Jane and deposit the amount. I can't do it from my pocket because I don't want Jane to suspect me," Grey explained.
Maria nodded briefly. "I understand. I will see her tomorrow about it. Is there anything I can get for you?"
Grey thought for a moment.
"Just get me the usual."
Maria nodded briefly and stepped out.
Grey's phone rang suddenly. It was Jamal. Grey regarded it for a moment and let it stop ringing, only for it to start ringing again.
He didn't want to pick it up in the first place because he didn't know why he would be calling.
But when the phone started ringing for the third time, Grey had no choice but to pick it up.
"Hello Hercules," Jamal boomed from the other side as if he was trying to check if Hercules was really alive.
Grey hesitated.
"Hi, Jamal. Are you calling me to confirm if the news was true or not?"
"Not really," He stammered. "I mean I got disturbed for a while. But yes, I wonder if it's true."
Grey let out a sigh. "It's not true but you are not to say a word about it. If the words get out that it's not true, then I would know you are the one behind it. It's not a threat."
Jamal swallowed harder. "No problem. I understand. I also want to inform you that you were invited to the CCS party."
"I won't be able to attend. But I will be able to participate in whatever from that day on," he promised.
"Alright. I understand. Bye for now."
Grey hung up and let out another sigh. The news was really circulating and people are getting worried. Well, it shows how much the plan was working. He would need to meet with Tiana and permit her to proceed.
A soft knock sounded on the door. "It's Jones, Boss," a soft voice reviewed.
"Alright, come in," he invited.
The door opened and Jones walked inside. "I received a message from SU world. Miss Jane would like for you to come at this moment. She said representatives from Spinfluence are suddenly around and waiting to speak with you," she explained.
Grey gathered his forehead as he looked up at her. He didn't get why representatives from Spinfluence would be in SU. But if they really are, they would no doubt want to speak with Grey since he was the representative from SU.
"Alright, be prepared. We will leave together."
Jones bowed slightly and walked out. His phone rang almost immediately and it was Tiana calling.
Grey picked it up.
"Hello, Tiana."
"Hi, boss. I heard the news."
"Yes, and I was going to call you. How are you doing by the way? How is the wound?"
"Fine boss, I feel alright though my blood still boils for revenge and it won't stop until I've taken it."
"That's great. I'm going to SU world. Meet me there. I will pick you up on my way home so that we can discuss."
"Alright boss. I will be there very soon. I will stay around so I can watch out for you when you leave."
"That's good then. See you soon," he finished and hung up.
He got up and walked out of the office, with his phone and briefcase. Jones was already coming his way.
At the sight of him, she moved to take his briefcase and they both walked to the elevator.
The elevator opened and Violet stepped out.
"Boss, I got your lunch. Are you going somewhere?"
Grey thought for a moment and looked at Jones as he stepped inside the elevator. "Take it from her. I will have it when I'm done with Spinfluence."
"Alright boss," Jones nodded briefcase and took the bag from Violet before she stepped inside the elevator too.
"Send a message to Maria and let her meet me in SU world. If Spinfluence would be seeing me now, it's great to even discuss the necessity today," he ordered.
Jones nodded briefly and took her phone to call Maria.
"Hi, good morning ma'am.," Jones continued as Grey stepped out of the elevator.
"Hercules is dead for real! I'm sure of it! That's why he doesn't come to work!" Someone said.
"Lie! He came once, didn't he?"
Grey pulled to a sudden stop as he turned to look at the three women standing together and talking about Hercules.
Then, he started towards them.
"I guess you guys don't have anything to do than gossip, right?" He said suddenly, startling them so that they turned to look at him.
"Bo.boss," they chorused together in a terrific-filled voice.
Grey regarded them for a moment.
"Jones, have these people fired immediately!"
The ladies yelled suddenly.Please boss, please! Don't fire me! I'm the only one my siblings depend on! " one of them beseeched softly. Content is property © .
They all went down on their knees as they beg. The others were looking at them already.
"Oh, you knew about that but you decided to gossip? You must be joking," he smiled softly and looked at Jones. "Give them the last warning," he looked at the girls.
"Be careful," he finished before he walked out of the lobby.
They took the company's car so that one of their staff can drive.
They soon arrived at SU world.
Jones moved aside to talk to Maria just as Grey entered Jane's office. The funniest and weird thing was that there was no one in the office aside from Jane.
"Welcome, Grey," Jane said with a smile.
Grey gave her skeptical brows.
" Where are the representatives?"
Just as Jane opened her mouth to say something, the door opened and Tina walked inside with coffee.
Grey regarded Tina for a moment before he looked back at Jane.
"Why aren't you talking?"
"Well, they are waiting in the other office. I will take you there but you can take your coffee. Jones said you haven't eaten."
Grey sighed.
"I will do that after I'm done speaking with the representatives. Jane shook her head. "This isn't the first time you will be having coffee here, right? I don't think you should fret because of it," she stood and picked up some documents.
Grey let out another sigh before he took the cup and sip the coffee.
Just as he was about to drop the cup, it felt like he was suddenly feeling dizzy.
And when he finally decided to place the cup on the table, he felt it slip out of his hand and hit the floor with a thud.
What the fuck was happening?
He looked up at Jane and realised she was staring at him too, with a funny expression and a teasing smile on her lips.
"Hello Grey," she said.
Grey gathered his forehead. "What did you give me?"
