Chapter 79: Spy of Hercules Avery’s last words kept ringing in Grey’s ears. Well, he was also tired of hiding but there was nothing he could do at that time. He still needed to stay hidden, he needed to pretend for his wife and others. He had to trust Alfred and the rest of the elders, except for Charles anyways. Grey kept thinking Charles might know something about his father’s death. Though he hadn’t confirmed it he hoped to do so soon. So, there was no way he could stop being the live-in son-in-law. It was what he needed at that moment. A soft knock sounded on the door again and Maria walked in.
“Here, it’s the copy of the signed contract,” she stretched out a file that Grey took.
He flipped through the pages while perusing them. “A half payment has been made? The WW Products?” He raised questioning brows.
Maria nodded briefly.” Yes, we are supposed to deliver the full products on Monday, which are already available. However, we got the message that they would be needing an extra package,” she explained. “That’s not in the agreement,” he observed. Maria nodded once and realized that Grey wasn’t looking at her. “Yes, we just received the message. So, there was no time to prepare the contract. Though, they assured me that we will get our money immediately,” she announced. Grey nodded, “You can proceed then,” he gently placed the file on his table. “We will see on Monday then,” he regarded Maria for a moment and noticed her hesitation. “Is there anything you want?”
Maria smiled. “Nothing. Goodnight boss,” she announced and walked out of the office.
Grey took his briefcase and phone. He hesitated at the door and contemplated getting dinner before going home. He fought with Avery and Emma that morning, they might have denied him dinner. He stopped by Alfred’s restaurant, he still had the special card with him but he paid for the food.
Just as he got inside the car, he noticed the black car behind him. Actually, he had observed the same car driving slowly behind him on his way to the restaurant.
He shrugged it off and pulled out into the street. It didn’t take long before the car moved out as well.
At first, Grey couldn’t see it because there was a car driving closely behind him but the moment the car overtook him, the same black car again.
The first thing his mind went to was Seth. He was the one that had sent some assaulters to him. Though, he doubted it. Seth would be so restless about his company that he wouldn’t have the time to chase Grey.
Grey kept driving while noticing that the car would make a move whenever he took a turn.
He pulled to a stop suddenly and got down. He was going to see whoever was tailing him and perhaps beat the hell out of them. The car pulled to a stop right behind Grey’s Rolls Royce. The door opened and Richard hurried out of the driver’s seat. Grey had his fist clenched as he advanced towards the car but pulled to a sudden stop when he saw Richard.
The passenger seat opened and Don walked out, dressed in casualty. They both hesitated for a moment before they hurried closer.
“Boss,” They chorused and took a bow. Grey regarded them for a moment and slowly released a sigh. “Why are you stalking me?” “We_we wanted to speak with you,” Don stuttered, with his head still bowed.
Grey turned around quickly. “Alfred told you what you needed to know,” he started towards his car.
