Chapter 36: Seeing a rival
Grey got to work earlier but he didn’t miss the rumors already circulating about him. A lot of workers were discussing what the manager would do to Grey.
He walked to the elevator which was almost occupied. He hurried inside before the door would close.
“See, he’s even so brave,” someone whispered behind him.
‘Good morning Mr. Grey. How was your night?” Jane asked politely, a smile on her face.
Grey looked at her. He hadn’t realized she was inside the elevator. “Great. How was yours.”
Jane’s smile broadened. “Great.”
The elevator made a beep and the door opened. Grey walked to his office He hadn’t sat when the telephone rang. He wondered who was calling at such an early hour.
He picked it up nevertheless, “Hello, good morning”
“This is the manager of J.K company and I want you in my office right now,” he muttered thickly and the phone went off.
Grey knocked on the door slowly. “Hello, this is Grey, and im_.’ he couldn’t finish his words as the door jerked open
“You should walk inside ” Cindy hissed and walked past him it looked like she was the secretary of the manager No wonder she has pride. What would she do if she discovered that Grey was the Hercules? The overall boss?
Grey stared behind her for a moment before he decided to close the door and moved closer to the manager

Grey couldn’t believe his ears. Did you tell Alfred about this?”
“Alfred?” Alex found it disrespectful that he was referring to the owner of the company without a form of respect. “Anyways, I’m the managing director of this company and I can fire whoever I want to as long as they aren’t doing their responsibility.”
Grey scoffed ” Seriously? Or did you save because Cindy wanted you to?”
“What are you trying to insinuate?’ Alex stood and banged at the desk, angrily.
Grey regarded him for another moment. ‘A manager shouldn’t faiter. You should never let yourself get controlled by a lady though, I’m aware of who Cindy is. She’s manipulative and_.’ Grey stopped quickly as Alex’s hand was coming towards his face. Grey caught his hand in the air and held it still,
Alex tried to pull away but it was even more difficult “Let’s go! Leave my handi” He ordered
“You should learn to keep your hand in check,” he said with a little smile. “But what can I do if you want me to let it go,’ and he releases it suddenly. Alex was already struggling to pull away. So, because of the sudden release, he fell back to the floor with a groan,
