Chapter 264: Trapped and Framed
Grey felt his muscles contract as he tried to concentrate on Jane.
Tina was laughing. "I didn't know he could be this weak."
"Shut up! How dare you speak to your boss like that?"Jane laughed. "Don't worry, Grey. You only need to see someone. Don't worry, you will be fine," she assured in a teasing voice.
Grey struggled to keep his eyes open but the more he tried, the harder it got for him and he found himself on the floor.
He finally turned over so that he could be looking up at the ceiling.
Don't worry," Jane walked nearer. "You will be in safe hands. Now that Hercules isn’t alive, it will be best if I take sides that benefit me."
Grey couldn't keep his eyes open any further and eventually succumbed to the nightmare.
Jones was done speaking with Maria and also taking the tea that Tina gave to her.
Actually, she told her to relax while Grey met with the representatives from Spinfluence. So, she relaxed and took her tea slowly.
The door opened suddenly and Tina walked inside. "Hi Jones, are you done?"
Jones nodded briefly and took the briefcase. "Are you sure Mr. Grey doesn’t need this briefcase?"
"Of course, he doesn't. He's done speaking with them already. In fact, he left with them already," she informed.
Jones got up. "What about his briefcase? Why didn't he tell me he was going?" She felt agitated.
Tina smiled softly. "The thing was that I forgot to inform him. He was so occupied with the representatives that I wasn't even allowed to speak with him but don't bother, he didn't ask you and he didn't get angry that you weren't close," she explained.
Jones nodded briefly. "Thank you. I will leave then. He must have returned to the office since his car is there."
Tina nodded briefly. "He might have. I don't know about it."
Jones nodded again and walked out of the company.
She walked to the car and entered it. "We have to leave now. I will call Mr. Grey on our way."
The driver nodded and started the ignition.
Tiana was waiting in the garage. She saw the car drive inside and when Grey and the secretary walked inside but it amazed her to see that only the secretary walked out.
She still decided to wait, perhaps Grey wasn't done with whatever he was doing inside.
A car pulled to a stop suddenly and Maria walked out. Tiana knew Maria because Richard told her about her.
He told her several things about how she could easily access Hercules. She could go to Protos Pubblicita and seek Maria. Then, she could ask to see Grey through Maria. Maria has been with them and has been Grey's eyes and ears in the company.
Richard also showed her to her from afar. The only thing that hasn't happened was getting to exchange names and familiarise ourselves.
Grey must have been occupied. Maybe that was why he called Maria over. He would obviously be coming out with her.
