CHAPTER 59
Chapter 59: Payback
Meanwhile, Seth couldn’t stay at SU world any longer.
He got a call from his secretary that Charles was around and that it was really important because he had some information to deliver from Hercules
Seth felt even more important at the fact that Hercules could communicate with him. He actually wanted to get close to Hercules so that he could get the Hercules membership card.
Aside from the fact that there were discounts whenever he shopped at Hercules’ stores, there was also this great importance attached to the card. It was like holding a rare gem
Seth couldn’t really bid Jane goodbye as he was in a hurry He decided to give her a call whenever he was less busy
Well, Jane would have sacked Grey by then, that he was sure about Maybe at that, Grey would eventually know where his stance was. owns all content.
“Did Miss Jane just say that?* A lady whispered in shock
“I heard that too or I might have said something is wrong with your ears,’ another lady added quickly
The workers were no longer focusing on work and some of them were even finding a reason to work inside the lobby They desperately wanted to hear what was happening
Grey stopped walking but he didn’t turn around
When Jane saw that he was being hesitant, she walked to him She stepped in front of him with an uncleared expression.
“I received an order from the Boss that you are permitted to stay,” she started and swallowed harder as if the words were being forced out of her mouth “And I want to apologize to you
Grey sighed. “You should get your facts straight before you accuse anyone How did you know Seth was telling the truth?
Jane’s eyes went wide in shock” I didn’t know it was Hercules that gave you the assignment.” she whispered, then looked around to be sure no one was listening to them.
The workers turned around and tried to act as if they were not listening to them
Jane cleared her throat. “Anyways, I’m so sorry. Please, don’t let us argue in the future And you can tell me if you need my assistance,” she rushed anxiously
She still felt angry at herself that she was apologizing to someone so low than her but she had to do it
“Can you go back to work now?” She asked, softly
Grey took in several breaths “Fine, no problem”
Jane managed a smile. She was surprised about who Grey was. If it was someone else, he might act bossy over her because he was closer to Hercules
“Just set your facts straight, before you accuse anyone again,” he advised and stretched out his briefcase “Where’s my secretary?” He asked, in a loud voice,
“Boss! Tina rushed forward immediately and took the briefcase from him
Jane took in another deep breath as she felt another surge of anger. “I will leave them. You can continue managing the company but just don’t mess with my business, she pointed out and whirled around
without another word She walked majestically out of the company.
A round of applause filled the air.
“Wow! The boss took the big Jane down! ImmediatelyOne of the men jubilated, with a wide smile on his face
Everyone was happy and shocked. At least, their boss was someone of high importance.
Seth rushed inside the KK corporation. Charles was in his office, waiting patiently.
“Good morning, Mr. Charles.” Seth stretched out his hand for a handshake
Charles took it with a smile. Good morning.”
“Please, sit,” Seth offered and indicated at the seat in front of him.
He sat and watched Charles do the same
“So, why are you here exactly?” He was excited
Charles regarded him for a moment and slowly nodded “Actually, Hercules sent you a gift,” he revealed and unzipped the briefcase
At the news, Seth felt elated. Hercules has been supporting his company for two years. It was only normal if he invited him to join his membership. What if Hercules had sent him the membership card? Well, he deserved it.
‘Should i get you something? Coffee or tea?” He blurted out anxiously
The day was really the best of his day
‘No, I will pass. I don’t want to spend any more minutes here than I have spent,” Charles responded as he flipped through the documents in his briefcase He finally picked a file and pulled it out
Seth’s expression changed immediately after Charles stretched the paper to him. He didn’t know what the paper was about but it was obviously not a membership card. And it made him feel bad.
He took it nevertheless and read through.
His eyes went wide and dark with shock “W_what is this?” He stuttered and it felt like his heart seized for
a moment.
Charles smiled. “Well, Hercules is withdrawing his shares.”
‘What!” Seth yeed all of a sudden. He couldn’t believe his ears or his eyes. Perhaps they were playing tricks on him He read through the words on the file again and it felt like his heart would stop beating any moment from that time.
“Why? Why would he do that?” He looked up at Charles, with an expression gone rugged “We’ve been in This contract for two years Why will he withdraw now?
He sent you something else,” Charles announced and pulled out his phone. He strolled through the messages until he was at Hercules’s recent messages.
Seth stared down at the phone and read it aloud. ‘Look beyond what you see.’
Seth looked up at Charles again, with skeptical brows. “What’s all this about?”
Charles pulled back his phone. The shares were bought from you. Hercules is offering to sell it back to you, he acknowledged
Whal” Seth was still very shocked. Why would he do that? We had an agreement. I was supposed to buy my shares when I have the capability to do so,” he uttered, fearfumy.
Charles smiled.” This is absolutely nothing to bother yourself about. It’s your company, Seth and you’ve just received the opportunity to make it entirely yours,” he got up at once and his expression transformed into a dark frown. “Buy the 70% share in two weeks or face the consequences!” He muttered and walked out of the office without another word. Seth felt the world crumble down on him. How was he supposed to do something like that?
