The door opened immediately and Maro walked inside. “Boss,” he called with dejection.
Alex looked at him, with raised brows. “Speak.”
Maro sighed. “It looked like we had been deceived. There was nobody standing anywhere. Maximo seemed to have come alone.”
Alex squeezed his face. “Seriously?”
Maro sighed. “What do you think we should do?”
Alex looked away for a moment. “Is there a trace of the reporters or the web developer anywhere?”
Maro shook his head briefly. “No boss. As far as I’m concerned, I don’t even think they are in Italy,” he took a step closer. “ Do you really have the evidence?”
Alex released a sigh. “I don’t but we will have to do something. Maximo must not know that I don’t have. “
“But whatever we do, Maximo would want us to show him the evidence. If we have none, then there will be nothing to show him,” Maro expressed his concern.
Alex thought about it for a moment. “I will figure something out. Has my dad sent any message to me?”
“No, boss. There has been nothing from your father.”
Alex stood. “Send a message to my father. If I can’t use the evidence, I will use something else. In fact, I could cover the evidence with it. Maximo wouldn’t have to know the truth.”
“Or would you like to go to Jacksonville and speak with your father directly?”
“No, you know why I’m here, Maro. I can’t risk showing my identity to the world just yet. I will send a word to my father like I’ve said. Make preparation for it,” he ordered.
“Yes boss,” Maro said, bowed slightly, and walked out.
Alex released an exasperated sigh. Maximo seemed to have gotten a hint of what was happening already. No, actually, it looked like he had someone behind him. Who could be behind him?
.
“So, what's your plan?” Enzo asked.
Grey sat up. “We need to suspend meetings for now. If we are to meet on something, we could find another way to communicate. But no one must suspect anything. There will be no complete gatherings,” he explained.
“That said, there’s a way we can communicate without having to gather, just as Grey has suggested,” Maximo said suddenly and also sat up as well. “Whatever Grey has to say can be passed across to Charles. Charles can get it over to me by coming to the company. Hercules has shares in the company. So, it won't look weird. Then, I can get the information across to you all,” he explained.
They all nodded in agreement.
“That's actually good,” Leonardo nodded once.
“That being said, I might not be around tomorrow but,” Grey looked at Maximo. “I will be in touch as I've promised,” he assured.
Maximo nodded once. “I understand. I will also keep in touch with you with whatever Alex says,” he promised.
Dante looked at Grey. “Are you going to come back tomorrow night? Vincenzo is meeting up with you that night,” he revealed.
Grey shook his head briefly. “I won’t be available. Tell him I would see him in three days when I’m back,” he smiled slightly and got up. “I think we are done with this meeting.”
