“Sir?” David stammered, unable to bring himself to raise his head.
Grey smiled softly. “Maria, I want the list of all the executives that had meetings behind my back in my office right now,” he ordered.
“Yes boss,” Maria responded in a shaky voice.
There was this usual aura around Grey after he was done with the transition that made her find it hard to relate with him easily as she normally does.
Grey was in front of her, dressed like a trillionaire. There was no way she could treat him the same way. She had grown to fear and respect him the more.
Grey entered the VIP elevator with Charles, Maria, Jimmy, and Richard.
“Here they are,” Maria rendered and stretched out her notepad.
Grey took it and stretched it over to Charles. “Since you employed them, you will find the best punishment for them. Though, I will be the one to punish David,” he added quickly.
Charles shook his head slightly and took the notepad.
“Maria should set up a meeting between all the executives that had the meetings to remove one of my employees behind my back,” he muttered thickly.
The elevator door opened and everyone walked out. The Hercules office was at the highest part of the building and it comprises the whole floor.
“What will you like to have? Should I send an assistant to you?”
“No, Jimmy will be here to help me out.”
Maria’s phone rang suddenly. “Hello Violet,” she said into the receiver. She went quiet for a moment. Seriously? Alright, I will speak with the boss and get back to you very soon.” she hung up and looked at Grey. “Miss Caramel is here but she wants to see you.”
Grey looked up at her.” Hasn’t she been here earlier?”
“No sir. I was actually expecting her as you told me to. I don’t know why she’s coming at this time and now, she seems to know you are around. So, she wants to see you,” she explained.
Grey thought about it for a moment. “Let her in but I will be discussing with you inside as well.”
Maria nodded and stepped back to call Violet back.
Grey looked at Richard. “You and Jimmy will have to excuse us because I don’t want Caramel to see you guys with me,” he stated.
The two bowed and walked out of the spacious office.
“Should I leave as well?” Charles asked suddenly.
Grey shook his head. “No, stay. You are the second in command anyways and you are my friend.”
The words found a nice place in Charles and he smiled as well. Well, he had always loved Grey as a brother and he had swore to protect him forever.
Maria moved closer again and looked at Grey. “Is there anything else to do?”
Grey shook his head briefly. “You can set up the meeting now. We will have it the moment I’m done with
Caramel,” he informed.
Maria nodded and walked out of the office.
“Is Caramel truly the woman you love?”
Grey regarded Charles for a moment and smiled softly. “She Is. How did you know?”
