Chapter 261: The contract
"What!"
"You heard me right, Mr. Grey," Tina laughed and stepped out of the elevator.
Grey regarded them for a moment before he walked out as well, and towards Jane's office.
He knocked slightly and when there was no response, opened the door and walked inside. Jane was sipping her coffee.
"What's all these all about? Aren't you supposed to be prepared? We have an appointment this morning!" Grey has been pissed off already.
Jane smiled. "Easy! I will be ready soon. Do you have to shout?" She stood. "Have you heard about the news? Turns out that Hercules was dead or do you also know about it?"
Grey sighed. "How can I? Am I at all familiar with him?"
"Well, you do receive orders from him, don't you?"
"And you as well. The last time I checked, you were the only one that could communicate with Hercules. So, I don't know why the question was being directed at me."
Jane regarded him for a moment before she burst into laughter. "Alright! You always find something to say," she stood and gathered some files on the table. Then, she looked up at Grey. "Should we leave now?"
Grey didn't talk and instead walked out of the office, towards his car.
Jane hurried after him and was able to enter the passenger's seat before Grey could pull out into the street.
"Why are you here if you can't even be cautious about your secretary on what she could say?"
"Well, Hercules didn't communicate with me. So, how do I stop people from talking? There's freedom of speech, isn't there?"
Grey released a sigh. "You are messing with trouble, Jane."
"Are you trying to warn me by using Hercules? We all know he's no more. I don't even know who I take orders from."
"Well, Charles can still fire you from work," Grey reminded her.
Jane laughed. "I was employed by Hercules. He is the only one that can sack me. Things don't work as you think."
Grey decided to disregard her. It was just for a few days anyways. Everything would soon be back to normal.
He pulled up in front of the Spinfluence company.
"Are you sure we are going to win this contract? You might want to communicate with Charles before you do this," she advised.
Grey ignored her, got down, picked up his suitcase, and went inside. Jane came up behind him after some minutes.
"Good morning," a man hurried closer to him as he stepped inside the lobby. "You must be Grey from SU world."
Grey nodded briefly. "I am. When will this start?"
"Soon. Please, follow me," he said and started walking away.
Grey and Jan followed after. They entered the elevator and stopped on the second floor.
