Chapter 43: Meeting the couple
Grey had been going through the reports and files for over hours. He realized that the figures were messed up
There was nothing in the company account and few stocks of surveillance cameras were left. The materials were also little in quantity. It was only for a few more weeks before the SU world would crash
Grey made a call to the accountant’s office. “Hello, see me in the office right away?” He ordered and hung up without waiting for a response.
A soft knock sounded on the door almost immediately.
Grey sat up. “Yes, come in.”
Maria walked inside. “Hi, boss. It’s closing time. I’m leaving but I decided to see you before I do so Have you concluded?”
Before Grey could say something, another knock sounded on the door John stepped inside the room in a tailored suit. He was almost like Grey except for his stubbles and the fact that Grey was the tallest.
“You wanted to see me?”
Grey nodded briefly and picked a file. He stretched it out to him “Goods of 5 million dollars were used but only one million dollars came back into the company account How is that so? Does a form of magic work here?”
John suppressed a shock as he took the file and did as if he was looking through it
Grey watched his movement for a moment “Don’t bother! You are fired, John.”
Maria’s eyes went wide in shock.
* Please, don’t sack me,” John pleaded.
“Get out of my office now or I will bundle you out,” Grey muttered thickly. He was getting annoyed already How could they mess his company up?
John sighed and placed the file on the table,
“What did you just do? Grey asked quickly, startling John for a moment. Please, take the file with you. I have no use for it
John took the file reluctantly and walked out of the office.
Maria looked back at Grey. “What are we supposed to do now?”
Grey regarded her for a moment. “Nothing. I will need a secretary obviously. So, an interview should commence. The post of the accountant and the secretary is vacant,” he explained and stood up. He was getting late for the cinema already.
“But what about the loans?” Maria said quickly before Grey would open the door. ” We need money to make a lot of surveillance cameras. We will be damned if we lose this client,” she complained.
Grey turned to look at her again.” There will be no loans, I will handle it. Just make an estimation of the amount we will need by tomorrow and let’s talk then,” he finished in a voice that left no room for more words
Maria was shocked. How would he handle it?
Grey gou inside his car and headed in the direction of the address that Aphrodite sent to him.
Grey eventually pulled up in the parking lot.
Stepping out of his car and the first person he saw was Nora. Actually, she was looking right at him as well, with some kind of surprised expression maybe because of the car that he came out of. Well, the car has a way of hiding its potential.
Grey ignored her and walked towards the entrance of the cinema.
“Look at who this is.” Seth laughed suddenly, behind him.
Grey ignored his remark and entered the big building and Seth with Nora came right behind him,
The security was checking people in with their tickets and since Grey had none, he decided to inform Aphrodite that he was around.
“The boy is running away.” Seth laughed again.
“He grew up real well,” Nora added quickly
They were close now and Grey knew that they would meet up with him soon since he was still going to wait for Aphrodite
Aphrodite didn’t pick up. So, he decided to text her.
“Longest time Grey,” Nora teased as she stood in front of Grey, her hand entwined with Seth’s arm.
Grey looked up at her. “Yeah, long time, Nora.”
“You have changed. You seemed to be enjoying your life with Robinson. Seth told me you got married to Avery.” Nora narrated.
