CHAPTER 91
Chapter 91: provoking Grey woke up very early that morning and decided to eat out because he didn’t want any embarrassment from Smith.
So, he didn’t eat in the house and instead ate at a nearby restaurant before driving to the company.
The moment he pulled up, he remembered the problem he had initially faced that morning at work and the fact that it wasn’t even Seth behind it.
He wondered who was provoking the clients. “Manager!” Maria yelled just as Grey stepped into the lobby. Grey stopped walking and turned towards where the voice came from. Maria walked toward her, with a frown on her face. “Good morning, sir. I seriously need to speak with you. It’s very urgent!” Grey nodded.” Let’s talk in the office then,” just as he turned around, he saw Liam coming toward him.
“Boss, we have a problem,” his facial expression was troubled. Maria sighed. ” Again?” Grey gave them a confused look. “What do you mean by again?” “I guess we should discuss it in your office,” Liam offered. Grey nodded and they all walked inside the elevator.
“Why are you guys having a problem at the same time?” Guy inquired.
“Our investors are pulling out,” he announced.
Grey sighed. ” I’m not bothered about that. We don’t need them anyway, you were the one so convinced with having investors,” he accused.
“That’s because it’s going to help the image of our company. Presently, the SU world seems like the lowest company of Hercules and no one even knows it belongs to Hercules.”
Grey looked at him.” Does it show that this company belongs to Hercules? I mean if these investors realize it’s Hercules Company, they wouldn’t withdraw, or would they?”
“Yes, you are right,” Maria chimed in as they stepped out of the elevator. ” But Jane wouldn’t allow it. And I understand why. SU is very small in comparison
with others. It could come as a major setback to Hercules.”
Grey walked out.” But it will also help the company. The investors would be willing to join. Though, I don’t need them,” he complained.
“Most investors aren’t because of low capital. It’s for the company and the individual interest. We still have investors in Protos Pubblicita. Proto’s income is higher than the investors in the combine, yet they still have investors.”
Grey nodded briefly. He hadn’t thought in that direction. Then, an idea dawned on him.
Liam sighed. “We might need you to meet with the investors and hear them out,” he proposed.
Grey stepped inside the office. “Well, we don’t need to beg them. If they want to leave, they can. We will find more investors,” he sat on his seat. “In fact, more than the investors that had left.”
Maria couldn’t believe her ears, though, she knew that Grey had a special power. He wasn’t like all the other managers that she had worked with
“You seemed certain, sir. Are we sure about this?” Liam was doubtful.
Grey nodded. “I’m certain. We shall see the outcome in a week. Meanwhile, I will still meet with the investors, not to beg but brag.”
Liam exchanged gaze with Maria. He thought Grey was being crazy. “But_,” he started to protest but Grey cut him off immediately. “That’s it! Just discuss with Tina to schedule a meeting with them. And leave the rest to me,” he ordered.
“Yes, sir,” Liam nodded once and walked out of the office.
“Do you need me to go with you?” Grey shook his head. “Don’t worry, I got this,” he assured her. “Let’s talk about the problem at hand.”
Just as she opened her mouth to say something, a harsh knock sounded on the door.
Grey sighed. “Yes, come in.” Tina opened the door and rushed inside. “Sir, good morning. We have a problem.”
Grey relaxed back in his seat with drawn brows. “Seemed like there were problems waiting for us this morning. What is it this time?”
Tina fidgetted. “Nick’s venture’s CEO demanded to speak with the CEO. When I
refused, he said he gave us two hours to send him your sack letters or he would call the police,” she revealed.
“What!” Maria yelled.” How could they do that? We need to get our lawyer!”
Grey’s fingers drummed on the table, as he thought about the issue. He was contemplating very fast on the faster solution. He stood up suddenly, with a dark frown on his face. “What’s his name?” he muttered.
“What are you doing?” Maria stuttered, scared. “I’m seeing that CEO. Just tell me what his name is.” he persisted.
“Garvin, sir,” Tina responded.
“But what are you going to do with that?” Maria was more than confused.
“Just send the address and leave the rest to me,” Grey said in a voice that left room for no words before he walked out of the office.
The two ladies stared behind him as if they couldn’t believe their eyes. And they wondered if he was just stupid or was really scared of losing his position.
If Jane heard about it, she would go for the easiest solution which would be to sack Grey. “Do you think we should call the CEO?” Tina asked, troubled.
Maria regarded her for a moment and remembered that Tina didn’t know who the company belonged to. In fact, none of the workers knew that the company belonged to Hercules except for Maria and Liam. It was to keep the secret from leaking to outsiders. “Just go back to your office. We will fix all this,” she assured her.
Grey got inside the car, just in time for a message to pop up on his phone. It was the address he had requested.
He pulled the car out of the company in anger. He was going to find out who was really causing trouble with him before he dealt with them. He pulled up in front of the company and walked in. He walked to the receptionist.
“Hi, I’m here to see Mr. Garvin.” Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.
The lady observed him for a moment. “Do you have an appointment with him?” Grey felt a stab of annoyance at her question.” Heck, just tell him I’m here.” There was a sigh. “I’m sorry sir but it doesn’t work that way here. You need an

appointment to be able to meet with the CEO.”
Grey scoffed.” Seriously?”
“Yes sir, you have to leave now or I will call the securities on you.”
Grey tried to suppress the anger.” Tell Mr. Garvin that I’m Grey from SU world and we are ready to go by what he wants.”
The lady’s eyes switched slightly, she observed him for another moment and eventually picked up the telephone.
“Yes sir, alright,” was the only thing she said before she placed the phone dow and looked at Grey. “You can go in, sir. Take the elevator to the fourth floor, th first office is Mr. Garvin’s office,” she explained.
Grey clenched his fists as he proceeded.
