Chapter 149: The Grandmother Giovanni has been asking Jane for some information about Grey but she has been reluctant to share.
Actually, Jane met Giovanni at a birthday party and since then, the two have been a bit closer to each other.
Jane didn’t know if Giovanni liked her genuinely but she wasn’t ready to place business and personal matters at the same level. So, she had never given out anything concerning Gio. But that was exactly what she was going to do. It was going to be a payback at Hercules that lost a loyal worker. “So, Jane. It’s rare actually that you would want to see me like this,” Giovanni smiled softly. Even at sixty, he was still a good-looking man. Sometimes, Jane would wonder how handsome he must have looked when he was very young.

“Actually, I wanted to tell you something. It’s a positive response to what you’ve been asking for me,” she revealed. Giovanni gave her confused brows.” Seriously? What can that be?”
Jane closed her eyes for another moment as she berated herself. Was she supposed to reveal it or not? Well, the contract binding them has been broken. Jane decided that she could say whatever as she wasn’t the secretary again. “Well, Hercules’s real name is Grey Fox,” she declared. Giovanni regarded her for a moment before he chuckled slightly. “I’m aware.” Jane stared at him, lost and shocked. “You do? How? And if you know, why did you ask of me?”
Giovanni sat up, poured himself some champagne, and gulped it down at a go.” You should know that I always have a way to discover things. I know that Hercules is Fox Grey Michael,” he pointed out. Jane’s eyes went wide and dark with shock.” What? How?” Giovanni sighed and relaxed in his chair. “I didn’t know initially, which was why I asked you but well, I have a lot of spies around. And the good news is that I just had one in Protos Pubblicita. She gave me everything I needed to know,” he explained.
Jane raised a brow.” She?” Giovanni smiled, “She’s not the only one monitoring Hercules. Though, I’m still
quite disappointed as I still don’t know where Hercules is or who is he exactly,” he muttered.
Jane gurgled. She didn’t even expect Giovanni to guess Hercules’ real name which only meant that the person was close to Jane. It could even be someone that Jane talks with every day.
Anyone could be a spy. Jane made a mental calculation on who the spy would have been. “You will never find out, Jane,” he said suddenly, jerking her out of her thoughts. “Oh, I heard you were dismissed, was that why you are here?” Jane rolled her eyes. “I was demoted, and not dismissed,” she corrected with a hint of frustration.
Giovanni laughed. “That was why I said you should join me. Join me Jane and I will give you everything you have always wanted.”
Jane regarded him for a moment, as she thought about it. It would be great for her to join Giovanni but she found it somehow.
Truly, Hercules has been lagging in terms of business and being the richest but Jane just loved working in Protos Pubblicita. It was her ambition and something she wanted since the creation of the company. And she had worked her bone out to see that the company get where it was at that present time.
If she left, it would be like losing all her hard work but she doesn’t want that
“I’m not going to tell anyone anything, just as it has always been but I can’t work for you, Gio.” She stood and walked out of the room without waiting for Giovanni to say another word.
Grey had a great time choosing an assistant even though he had a different plan for choosing the post of supervisor. He had different things he wanted to be working on. That aside, he wanted to make Victoria’s skincare a blast. So, he was more focused on it.
