Chapter 96: Tricked by the Boss Grey looked back at Don and Richard. They were counting money from the bag of money that Grey had in the back seat.
It took a while before Grey could get Caramel to leave the car. And well, Don and Richard arrived at the right time. If they had arrived a few minutes earlier, they would have met Caramel and that would have spelled doom. Caramel that was always inquisitive might have realized what was happening at that moment. Don looked at Grey and nodded. Grey smiled and turned towards the phone again. “Someone is coming with the money, you are to give the documents to him.” “The documents were supposed to be with me,” Audrey interrupted quickly. “Plan changed. I have no time to waste and it won’t affect you anyways. So, is this a deal or not?” Grey inquired.
Meanwhile, Richard was supposed to be the one to deliver the money as Seth might have seen Don severally. Well, Don was very popular.
“I think Mr. Buyer is right. We should settle it once and for all,” Seth supported Grey unknowingly.
Audrey went silent for a moment. “Alright, let’s do that then.” he agreed, not that he had any choice anyways. “So, what room are you in?” “276,”Seth replied quickly. Grey held the speaker of the phone tightly with his hand, then he turned to look at Richard. “276.”
Richard nodded and proceeded towards the entrance. “I’m going to stay online until everything has been confirmed,” he announced as Don got into the passenger’s seat.
Audrey clenched his fists by his side. He was really annoyed but he couldn’t even show it. His plan was suddenly failing. He was supposed to keep the documents and set a trap for Hercules but that wouldn’t happen again. How the heck did Hercules get so brilliant?
Well, Audrey knew that he had to make some plans immediately or he might be Hercules’ puppet. And it would be a hindrance to his business. In fact, what he feared was someone bossing him around. The best solution was for him to see Giovanni and think of a perfect plan to trap Hercules. With Hercules gone, his life would be back to normal.
Seth on the other hand, couldn’t stop fidgeting. He couldn’t keep calm until everything had been intact. He kept having doubting feelings that the whole plan might fall apart and Hercules might even be watching him.
In fact, he was thinking of hiring some thugs that night to keep him safe until the morning. He was very scared of Hercules but he couldn’t give him the right to the company. It was all he had left.
And without it, he would be nothing. But If he left the city, he would be able to work and come back later on to start a new business. It was the best choice.
A soft knock sounded on the door and jerked the two men out of their thoughts. Audrey looked at Seth. “It’s the buyer. Can I have the documents now?” Seth nodded briefly and brought out his suitcase. He retrieved a file and stretched it out. Audrey regarded it for another moment before he took it and walked to the door. Richard was by the door, waiting with a bag of money. Audrey opened the door and recognized him. His heart made a sudden thud at the realization that Hercules was around. It was actually surprising to him when Hercules proposed that he would get him the money that night and he wondered how he discovered where they were. Somehow, he pitied Seth. He didn’t know that Hercules was watching him all this while. He thought his quietness meant that he didn’t know what he was doing. Seth was so ruined.
