Secretly The Billionaire Boss by Debbie chocolate novel Chapter 402

Chapter 402: Confirmation

Grey squeezed his face harder as he tried to process the information. He wasn't quite getting it at all.

"What does that mean? I don't get it?"

'The shoe company in Italy, do you remember that you have shares there? That aside, you are one of the directors. The CEO shouldn’t have changed without your knowledge. It means something has happened," Alfred explained.

Grey nodded briefly. 'That’s right. But how did you know the CEO has changed when you weren't able to get across to the men you sent over there.”

"I just saw it online. I had to seek information about Italy in all ways since I couldn't get across to my men. The shoe company is a big deal. If things are normal, I could tell through the company. Guess what, the inauguration was yesterday and now my men are missing," he explained further, a little anxious.

Alfred was right, something is definitely wrong. "Who is the new CEO?"

'That's the weird part. He didn't show his last name but he's Maximo," he hinted.

Grey reasoned it for a moment. "Something is definitely wrong. No one is contacting me about my shares. Someone eventually took the turn, especially when James used to be the CEO after his father died."

"Exactly, Hercules. That's why I said something is really wrong. But I think we should wait for the men to come back," he suggested.

Grey nodded once. 'That’s right, we should but if they don't show up again, I will think of something else," he assured.

Alfred released a sigh. "Alright."

"So, I’ve decided that Jimmy will be given a befitting burial. My existence isn’t supposed to be made known until I say so. And you should get me Jimmy's family as soon as possible."

"Alright, I understand and I will do everything," Alfred responded.

"Ok then, bye."

Just as he hung up, his phone started ringing again. But this time it was Maria.

"Hello, boss!" Maria yelled, her voice a mixture of all kinds of emotion. Her heart was beating very fast and she couldn't even think properly. She had been trying Grey's number since she heard the news but it wasn't available. She thought Grey was dead too.

'Yes, Maria."

"Oh My!” She was relieved. Grey spoke as though nothing had happened to him. "Are you really alright?"

'Yes, I am. Though a lot has happened, but I'm currently fine."

Maria released a sigh. "I thought something bad had happened to you. Your picture is all over the news and I-," she sobbed quietly. "I really thought you were the one," she explained in between sobs.

Grey smiled softly. "I understand Maria and I'm sorry about it. I'm sorry for making you worry so much. My driver died actually, so I can't say the incident didn't get me much. But I'm currently fine. I just need to do something and I will get back to you," he uttered.

Maria sucked in a breath. "Alright boss. I will quench the rumours and let everyone know that you are alright."

"No, don't do that. Only a few people that I trust know that I'm fine. It mustn't leak out, not yet," he informed her.
