Chapter 246: Kidding?
Charles and Grey got home in the afternoon the next day. Charles pulled up at the garage. While Grey absentmindedly got down and went inside, Charles followed after.
It was work hour and Grey knew that Caramel would be at work. So, he was going to wait.
“Boss, I forgot to tell you something,” Charles said suddenly, dragging Grey out of his thought.
Grey nodded briefly and moved to retrieve a bottle of champagne.
Charles followed after. “Mattee gave you something last night but I forgot to tell you about it due to the issue on the ground,” He explained.
Grey nodded briefly and turned to look at him. “What’s all this about?”
“Mattee sent a jacket, it’s bulletproof and one of its kind,” he explained and pulled out the jacket to show it to Grey. “You could wear it as a normal jacket and no one would notice it is bullet–proof,” he smiled softly.” This is the best gift you’ve ever received.” He complimented.
Grey regarded it for a moment before he moved nearer to check it out. He was shocked that Mattee liked him so much to have gifted him such a rare item.
“Now I see how much Mattee trusts and admires you,” he stated.
Grey nodded once. ” Take this inside my room. We will discuss this later. I will probably call you,” he announced.
Charles nodded briefly and walked away.
Grey was still watching him when his phone rang suddenly. It was Jane. Grey was a bit confused. Why was Jane calling him? And that was when he remembered that she was calling him through his line as Hercules.
“Good day sir,” she started.
“Yes, is everything alright?” Grey demanded.
“Yes, boss but I have something to discuss with you. I mean I received a letter about it,” she hesitated. ” SU received a letter this morning from Spinfluence. Spinfluence is an old company that supplies CCTV cameras to other big companies. So, it says there’s an order ongoing and they would like to tender it before us. In fact, they are selling the contract to us,” she explained.
Grey nodded once. ” So, you want us to buy it?”
“Yes, boss but we aren’t the last competitor. There’s someone else dragging this with us because the order is worth a lot of money. If SU company can receive this order, it would improve our business and can even increase the position of SU on the chart,” she declared.
Grey thought about it for a moment. “I will send Grey to you. You guys should discuss it in person. Meanwhile, we are buying it,” he announced.
“That’s cool, boss. I will be waiting.”
Grey hung up and stared down at his phone. Jane was becoming a bit obedient.
“So, I will see you later. I will visit Alfred tomorrow,” Charles announced suddenly.
Grey looked up at him and nodded briefly. “Alright, bye.”
Grey moved to pour himself a glass of wine. His phone rang again, almost immediately. He sighed and reached for it. It was Linda this time.
“Good day boss.”
