Charles hung up before Grey could say more
Grey looked up ai Charles ‘She needs to cut the deall’
“Whar? Why? Charles was skeptical
Grey sighed, rubbing his forehead slightly ‘Never mind, I will do it myself What else do you need to hand Over to me? I need to go home
Aphrodite darted at her wristwatch ‘I need to leave now My light is in an hour
Grey nodded ‘We will talk on the phone then’
Aphrodite nodded and went to Alfred
Charles Turned to Grey ‘ i will drop you in town Why don’t we leave logelher so I can tell you more on our way?” He suggested
Grey nodded Nice idea
Charles look the stairs up to get some file cases He hesitated in front of the door and tried to think if he was missing anything else when he knew he had it all he walked downstairs again
Grey took the box containing his father’s assets and floved it to the other elders “I will be leaving now We should probably see later in the city
“Yes, you can come back to the cinema sometimes, Luciano laughed
Grey nodded and walked out with the elders
Everyone got into their cars Grey entered Charless car
“Tell me. Grey You are married?’ Charles was more than surprised
* Yes Grey sighed “It’s a long story anyway Perhaps we will talk about il soon Aside from the bor is there anything else I need to know?”
* Not really The box consists of all the files of your fathers properties barely touch some because there are way too many, he explained
Grey nodded which was why SU world wasn’t doing well Luciano did tell him that Charles wasn’t really the business type
“Is there anyone you keep in contacl with from these companies?”
“Not really I only speak with Jane But I manage the oil wells”
Grey thought for a moment and nodded again ” You can continue managing that and get back to me every three months I will peruse everything by then,” he explained
Charles Smiled “Thank you,” he looked away and dialed jane s number on his phone
Jane picked up immediately ‘Hi, Mr Charles Is there anything you would like for me to do?
Sure Well, Grey Fox is back_”
* What! Hes back” Jane yelled happily, interrupting him
Charles looked over at Grey She seemed so happy he smiled
Grey smirked Shes not I’m telling you,” he mouthed
So, I will send you his phone number. You should call him Asap,” he advised.
“I will do that immediately. Thank you so much, Mr Charles’
And the phone went off.
Charles went muie as different thoughis collided with him in some sort of crazy confusion
“You know,” he started suddenly. ‘I’m glad you are alive,” he looked at Grey “And I’m glad you are back, he said truthfully
Grey nodded. “I’m sure you know we have a spy around You should be careful and not expose me to anyone I will be counting on you for that,” he jibed
Charles smiled I will do nothing but my best Thanks for trusting me,” he uttered Can I have your phone number?
“Sure,” Grey took Charles’ phone and inpulled his number
Grey’s phone rang suddenly. It was an unknown line He picked it up anyway
“Hi, Mr. Grey Fox! This is Jane, I’m the secretary of Protos Pubblicita,’ she introduced
Nice, I will be making some changes to the company policies. I will let you on with it but I heard from Charles that you’ve signed the contract with LX corporation?
” Yes, we’ve just done that sir,” she affirmed.
Well, call back Smith and tell him we don’t want to work with him.”
* What?” Jane was more than shocked But the contract benefits us so much”
“Well, I think I’m the boss here or not? You may learn to keep your mouth sealed if you don’t want to lose your job. Cut the deal off immediately” He ordered in a thick voice Content is property © .
Yes, boss we will do than
* Alright then, you are dismissed,” Grey finished up and hung up
“Is everything alright? Why don’t you want to work with LX? Charles asked suddenly
“Well, nothing. It’s just something I really want to do,” Grey smiled
Charles’s phone rang suddenly “li’s Jane,” he revealed before picking up. “Yes, is something wrong?”
“I’m sorry, I just want to inform you that Mr. Grey wants us to cut the deal off with LX corporation I think the contract would benefit us. Though we would be doing them a huge favor, we will benefit from them.” she explained.
Charles raised skeptical brows. What is this call supposed to be about?”
“Ehm. Jane stammered “I just want you to speak with him “
Charles felt angry at her words “Are you saying Grey doesn’t know what is best for his company? Or he doesn’t have the business brain?” He looked over at Grey and caught him staring
The phone was on loudspeaker so he could eavesdrop on their conversation. Though, it amazed Charles that he was acting cool about it
“Should I give you a piece of my mind? Stay out of Grey’s way Don’t go against him. He’s not always nice You never know what is coming at you,’ his voice went deeper as he made the threat
Grey smiled
“Alright, Mr. Charles, Jane’s voice shook with a slight tremor. I appreciate your advice. Please, don’t tell Mr. Grey about this,” her voice pleaded.
Charles sniffed. Unfortunately, he’s here and he heard all our conversation,” and he hung up
Grey laughed even harder. That was scary.”
Charles shrugged “That’s the best way, the mafia way. I’m your second in command anyways.”
Grey smiled and nodded slowly.” Though. I will like it if we can communicate by phone
“I understand,” he said and retrieved some files from beside him “Here, I guess these are the remaining files that you haven’t gotten.”
Grey stared down at the files. “What are these?”
Charles took one of the file cases and pulled a card from it. “Here is your card. Your father got you a black card secretly,” he smiled. “Though, there are other cards in here. The black card holds nothing less than 900 trillion dollars.”
Shock kept Grey motionless for a moment 900?
“And these cards,” Charles was still explaining. He took out another card “This is for your share of money from some of your companies. Actually, I don’t know how it works but I discovered that the cards hold nothing less than 900 billion dollars,” he announced
Grey blinked once, then twice.
“What’s my net worth?
Charles smiled as he thought about it. “I can’t really say because I don’t have an account of all your properties but your net worth should be around 900 quadrillion dollars or more.” Grey felt more
surprised. “I’m a Quadrillionaire?”
