Maria sensed the stiffness in the air when she entered the company.
The workers all dispersed but it actually looked like they were murmuring about something in secret.
Maria ignored them and walked into the restroom.
A few minutes later, she heard several footsteps moving closer.
They seemed to have stopped in front of the mirror fastened to the wall.
“What was that all about?” A feminine voice said suddenly.
“Sincerely? I have no idea.I mean how could that have happened?”
A different voice seemed to lament.
“I can’t believe it actually,” there was a hesitation.
“Do you think I’ve met him as well? And perhaps I’ve spoken badly to him.”
“Yes, perhaps you are going to lose your job soon.You did know that you have a loose mouth.”
“Oh my!”
There was a soft exclamation.
“But come to think of it, we should be able to discover who the person really is.I mean the news did say it was Grey Fox.We just needed to find the Grey Fox that works in this company.It shouldn’t be that hard,” the voice explained.
“I’ve thought about that too but there’s no way we can be sure.I mean are we supposed to focus on those in high positions or the regular workers like us?”
A sigh.
“I don’t know.But I do remember we have a supervisor by the name of Grey but I’m yet to find out what his surname is.”A hesitation and the girls burst out into laughter.
“Impossible! I just so much doubt it.There’s no way why that Grey would be Hercules.”
Maria almost stopped breathing.
“I mean,” the same voice continued.
“When he first came here, he was the lowest of the workers before he was eventually promoted to work as the supervisor.There’s no way he would be the CEO.”
There was a long sigh.
“I sincerely hope that isn’t it or damn! Im Losing my job soon! I made fun of him several times.”
There was a few minutes of silence and the group burst into laughter.Soon, Maria could hear their receding footsteps.She released a sigh before she hurried out of the bathroom and headed towards her office.
“See me in the office, Violet,” she muttered and walked right into her office.
Violet followed her quickly.
“What’s going on? I heard the workers talking about Grey. Any news?”
Violet went quiet for a moment as if thinking about what to say.
“An hour after we published, we saw a similar post online and it’s currently getting more attention than ours.”
Maria creased her brows.
“What sort of news is that?”
Actually, Grey called Maria last night and informed her of what she was supposed to do.
Maria was supposed to publish a news article about the real name of Hercules.So, she did it immediately with the help of Violet.
“The news stated the real name of Hercules and the fact that he works undercover in his company, Protos Pubblicita.” Maria gasped softly.
“Seriously?”
Violet shook her head briefly.
“But could I ask a question?”
She waited for a response and when she didn’t get it, she continued.
“Is the supervisor really Hercules?”
