Chapter 377: Pretense
Smith stood awake the whole night trying to find out what could have happened with Arnold. He found none and decided to continue with what he and Seth had planned to do.
He arrived at Seth's company, a smile on his face. At least, he was able to find something to do before Arnold and David decided to betray him.
Smith walked inside the company. He met Seth on the way out.
"Smith!" Seth called out happily.
They both exchanged pleasantries.
"I didn't know you were coming back so quickly."
Smith smiled. "Well, I told you I was. Where are you going now? Can we talk?"
Seth nodded briefly. "That can wait, let's go inside my office to talk. We have a lot to discuss," he turned around and led Smith to his office.
He was able to get a small amount of money to get a nice plaza for his new business. In fact, he was able to employ some workers for important positions and left aside other positions.
"Is there something I should offer you?" Seth inquired as they entered the office. He moved to his seat and gestured towards the one in front of him for Smith to sit on.
Smith sat. "Nothing for now. I will say we discuss the reason why we are here. Then, when we are done with that, we can think of other things."
Seth nodded in agreement. "So, I met Grey last night."
Smith sat up in surprise. "You did? How?"
"He came to Megaphone Attitude to drink and I came there as well. I would have been able to deal with him if Don hadn't shown up. But I think we need to plan a way to deal with him," he suggested and his eyes twinkled with excitement.
Smith nodded once. "You are right. We should show him the steel we are made up of."
"So, what do you propose we do to him?"
Smith thought for a moment. "I have a plan already. But can we go over to his place? Have you been to his place? Have you confirmed all there is to him?"
Not really. I just got some information about where the Diamond base company is. That was where I was going when you walked inside the company.’Seth revealed.
"Ok then, I think we can do that. That aside, you told me about the position you would like me to take on in this company."
Seth nodded once. "You will be the project manager of this company. And if I eventually get the order, I will be giving you the amount I have promised you," he voiced out.
"Seriously?" Smith was shocked for a moment. He remembered the fact that Seth had once wanted his help but he did render it. But he had suddenly forgotten about it and was helping him. What more could he say? Even Arnold refused to help him. "Thank you so much, Seth. I really appreciate it," he said truthfully.
Seth smiled. "It's alright. What are we friends for if we can't do that small thing? But I will need your help in running everything around here. We need to keep the place running very well so that Protos Pubblicita would award the contract for US," he explained.
Smith nodded once. "When we are back from Diamond base, I will examine everywhere and see how everything can work efficiently," he assured.
"Then let's move. We should meet with our competitor immediately."
Grey got out of the car and regarded the men for a moment before he walked closer to them.
"Is anything the matter?" He questioned.
The men ignored Grey. So, he stepped inside and hesitated as Seth and Smith walked out from wherever they were.
"Look who is here," Smith laughed out loud that the other planets could have heard him.
Grey regarded him for a moment. "What are you doing here?"
Seth grunted loudly. "What is this place?"
"You need to leave now before I call the police."
"Yes, you need to. We have an interview we are currently attending," a lady said suddenly.
Three thugs rushed inside. "You guys have to leave now or you will be beaten!” One of them threatened and started beating the job seekers.
They all rushed out of the place, except for the lady that spoke the other time.
Grey gave them a dark frown. "What is this all about? This is an infringement on my right!" He yelled at them, while trying to pretend he didn't know what they wanted.
Seth smiled with pride and brought out his phone to call one of the policemen that he knew.
