Chapter 142: Amused Jane blinked once, then twice, unable to believe what Maria had said.
“What did you just say?” Jane inquired. “You heard me, Jane. I just said I have been promoted as the secretary,” Maria repeated. “Yes and you have been demoted to take Maria’s position at SU world,” Grey completed for Maria.
“What!” Jane gurgled. “No, you are lying! This can’t be! It’s very impossible!” She yelled and took her phone, perhaps to call someone.
The door opened suddenly and the security walked in. “Take them out! Now!” Jane yelled, uncontrollably. Her heart was skipping every beat. She didn’t want to accept it. It was just impossible anyways. She spoke with Hercules that morning and he didn’t even hint at her. In fact, they spoke smoothly.
It could be a prank. Jane was sure that the information was incorrect.
Maria huffed and dipped into her purse for her identity card. She got it delivered to her that morning. She didn’t know what was happening at first when she saw the message that she had been promoted until she got the mail.
Though it had always been a prayer, she didn’t know how Hercules knew her to have promoted her so suddenly. Maria actually suspected Grey. If he was close to Hercules as she had imagined, then he was the one that recommended her as the new secretary. And because Jane had already offended Grey, it wasn’t weird that it was her position that Maria was given.
“Here, it has the stamp of Hercules,” she stretched it out for the security to see.” If there’s anyone you should touch, it should be Jane.”
“What are you doing!” Jane yelled. ” I’m the secretary! You have all seen my ID. I have been working here for a long time!” She shouted in frustration.” Take him, listen to me!” She ordered in a thick voice. The securities glanced at Maria, then at Jane. Suddenly, they moved closer to Grey. They were confused but they decided to take Grey out of the office before they decide on the next course of action. “If you lay a hand on him,” Maria spoke suddenly. “Just a hand and you will lose
your job! That’s the new supervisor and you do know that he has the right to fire you!” Maria announced.
Grey smiled, and relaxed back in his seat. ” Let them touch me, and try to see what would happen.” He muttered.
Maria chuckled, but turned to look at the securities. ” Mr Grey is the new supervisor, he has the right over the secretaries. You should listen to whatever he says,” she informed.
Carol led him to the tenth floor. Hercules’ floor was the eleventh floor, which was the last floor. “Do you need anything from me?” Carol asked politely. Grey gaze searched around the office.” No ,I’m fine now.” Carol bowed slightly before she walked out of the office. Grey’s phone rang again and it was Jane. He sighed and picked the call.
“Hello Boss,” Jane cried.
Grey huffed and sat. He was somehow amused with Jane and wondered about Jane’s new strategies.
“Yes, what is this all about?”
“I’ve been demoted!” She revealed. “Grey demoted me and lied that it was your order. I know it wasn’t. I told you that Grey was acting behind you. He’s just so stupid and_” “Shut up, Jane,” Grey said suddenly, cutting her off from the word she was about to say. “Sir?” Jane was shocked. “I gave Grey the permission. You don’t think I need your consent before I make decisions for my company, right?” Grey demanded in a deep voice. Jane heart made a sudden thud at Grey’s revelation. “You demoted me? And promoted Grey?”
Grey chuckled.” I initially wanted to fire you, Jane but I changed my mind at the last minute. I may still change it again,” he warned. He hid the last joker card but he might choose to bring it out. He wasn’t going to be insulted, not by anyone. And he wouldn’t take it with anyone that looks down on him.
