Chapter 327: Not a sister
Linda shook her head briefly, as fear engulfed her.
"No, I don't think that's necessary.I know that you are Hercules and that's enough. Thank you so much, I really appreciate it but I would rather get off now."
She heard a lot about Hercules already anyways. And the fact that no one has seen his face. She wondered what would happen to whoever sees his real face and Linda wasn't ready to experience it. She loved her life too much to risk it.
Grey huffed.
"To 5 stars immediately," he ordered.
"Yes boss," the driver responded.
Linda shivered until the door opened suddenly.
She didn't know what she was supposed to do or what Hercules wanted with her.
But she decided to obey orders because she also knew that people like Hercules would easily be angered if someone ignored them.
So, she complied and was led to the room specifically made for Hercules.
Fear gripped her when she saw the tag that she couldn't bring herself to sit when she got inside.
The door opened almost immediately and Linda jumped up.
Grey walked inside and regarded her for a moment.
"Come and have your seat," he beckoned her.
Rather, Linda went on her knees.
"Please, I'm so sorry.I didn't mean to pull your name into the mud.I didn't add anything to the cream," she rattled off.
She thought Hercules was angry at her for what had been spread concerning Victoria Skincare that he had decided to kill her. She would rather spend her life in the cell than die.
The door opened again and this time, two waitresses pulled in a food cart.
They offloaded the food and walked out.
Linda was still kneeling, unsure of what to do.
"Linda, come over here,"
Grey stressed in a voice that should actually be familiar to her ears because Grey had dropped the fake deep voice that he was using initially.But well, he knows that it would be difficult to compare both personalities.
Grey moved to sit, while Linda still refused to stand. He sighed and pulled away the mask.
"Look at me then." Linda looked up and her eyes went wide with shock.
"Grey?"
Grey smiled and nodded once.
"Will you sit now?"
"But, how did it happen?"
She was more shocked than anything.
"Where's Hercules?"
"Well, long story. You must be famished. There's a brush for you in the bathroom. You can brush your teeth and even change your clothes before coming to eat."
Linda's head was still reeling.
"What? But this room belongs to Hercules. What If he caught me here?"
Grey chuckled.
"You still don't understand it, Linda. This place belongs to me.I am Hercules," he announced.
Linda was shocked for a moment.
"You are what?" Grey nodded once.
"Yes, I'm Hercules and this is why I have decided to claim Victoria Skincare under my official name. Though, you do know that no one knows who is under the mask."
Linda nodded briefly, as she tried to smile.
"Yes, sir.I understand. Thank you so much for getting me out of the cell."
