Chapter 368: competitor
"What! Are you for real?" Seth couldn't believe his ears. The million-dollar deal was almost on his hands. He couldn't believe it.
Maria nodded briefly. "Exactly. Your new competitor is Diamond base company. So, by the end of this month, Protos Pubblicita will know who to actually award the contract to depending on certain data. We will be going through both companies to make our final decision. I hope for the best."
Seth nodded once. "What did you call the company name again? I've never heard of it."
"Oh yes," Maria smiled. "It's a new company with a nice future. Well, just as yours is a new company as well."
Seth cleared his throat meaningfully. "I understand. Thank you so much for the news, by the way. I appreciate it," he smiled. "But may I have that company name again?"
Maria nodded once. "Sure. It's Diamond base company."
Seth nodded once and stood. 'Thank you so much for this. I really appreciate it."
Maria stood as well. "You are welcome, Mr. Seth. I sincerely hope you get this deal. Your company is pretty impressive," she complimented.
Seth felt overjoyed by this but a question lingered on. Does that mean Grey isn’t Hercules? If he was the one, he wouldn’t have allowed him to reach the final.
That means Richard and Caramel were right. Hercules was dead already and he was different from Grey. Though, he still decided he had to see Grey to be sure that they weren’t the same person. If they were, it would be good. At least, that means that Hercules and Grey would be gone from his life. But if Hercules was the one that was killed, it still wouldn't be that difficult. Grey only works in Protos Pubblicita. Hercules owns the place. So, Grey doesn't have a say in the company.
What had happened the day he left the country might just be a coincidence.
As he walked out of Protos Pubblicita, he placed a call to Smith. He didn’t pick up until the third ring.
"Hello, Smith!” Seth laughed. He got inside the car but didn't drive. "I have a piece of good news for you. Where are you currently?"
"Hi, Seth. I’m on my way to Russia. What is the good news?”
"Well, the contract I told you about, it looked as though I am going to get it. I am at Protos Pubblicita and Maria just informed me that my company is among the final list of companies they are going to review and award the order for."
"Seriously?" Smith sounded really happy. "Who are your competitors now?"
"One actually and it's a new company like that. It's Diamond base company."
Smith thought for a moment. "Whose company is that?"
"Well, I have no idea but we are just two. And we must do everything that we can to make sure I get this order!"
'Then I think we need to find out who owns the company and make sure it goes through hell. It's either it pulled out of the race on its own or we let Maria reject it. Either way will Favour US," he explained.
Seth smiled from ear to ear. "I was thinking of that as well. But why are you going back to Russia?”
'There’s someone I need to meet but I will be back as quickly as I can. We need to work hard for the order. In fact, we need to meet and I also need to come to your company."
"Yes, I was thinking of that as well. But before you come back, I will make sure to find everything I can about Diamond base. Then, we can continue the others when you get here," Seth suggested.
