Chapter 306: Conspiracy
It took almost forever before the door opened slowly and Jane walked inside.
Grey could see the fear in them. In fact, he had to stop over at SU before going to Protos Pubblicita that morning. Because it was morning, Grey was sure that Giovanni wasn’t watching. And well, he was with Don and Richard like the elders have wanted.
The moment she was inside, Richard moved closer to the door.
Jane regarded Richard for a moment before she fell to her knees in front of Grey.
"I'm doing what you want. Please, don't kill me." She beseeched softly.
Grey ignored her and looked away. "Has Giovanni called?" He asked instead.
Jane went mute for a moment as the words were stuck in her throat.
"You better answer the boss now before_," Don's thick voice trailed off when Grey put up his hand to stop him.
"Yes," Jane released a sigh and tried to stabilise her heavy breathing. "He has. He called me several minutes ago."
Like magic, the phone started ringing again.
Jane froze for some minutes in fear, before she slowly pulled out her phone. Her hand shook with a slight tremor to it.
"It's Giovanni," she announced.
Don caught her throat immediately and the phone fell to the floor. Thank goodness she was kneeling or the phone might have broken.
"Why is he calling you so early this morning if you haven't told him anything? Are you playing us?"
Jane released muffled sounds as she tried to fight back air as Don was almost done squeezing it out of her. This content is © NôvelDrama.Org.
"Let her go Don, and step back!" Grey ordered.
Don reluctantly let her go. "Just reply to Hercules faster if you value your life."
Jane coughed severally before she looked up at Grey. "I didn't tell him anything, I swear. You have your men spying on me, you would have seen me if I had spoken to him, right?"
"But you could have messaged him or called him in your office!" Don fired back.
Grey sent Don a dirty stare for him to shut up. He regarded Jane for a moment. "Sure and somehow, I now have spies among your workers. So, behalf."
The phone that had stopped ringing, started to ring again.
Grey met Jane's eyes for a few minutes of silence. "Pick the call."
Jane's hand vibrated as she reached to grab the phone.
"If that phone stops ringing, you will die," Grey threatened.
Jane grabbed the phone and picked it up immediately.
There were a few minutes of silence at the other end. Grey was silently watching her and looking for a reason to kill her just as he had killed Tina.
"Jane," Giovanni's deep voice came out loud from the other side.
Jane cleared her throat meaningfully. "Hi, why are you calling?"
"You've been distancing yourself for a while now but I think we need to talk now."
"Im_" she shook her head briefly as if trying to find the right word to use." I'm feeling indisposed."
Giovanni laughed for a moment. "Are you angry about what I did the other time?"
Jane had the urge to yell at him and tell him to shut it, tell him everything that was happening but she couldn't. Instead, she released a sigh. "No, that's not it."
"Then come over to my hotel tonight at seven. There's someone you need to meet," he hinted.
Jane looked up at Grey for confirmation.
Grey slowly nodded his head.
"Alright. I will be there," she said and the phone went off.
Grey stood. "You've done well. Get ready by 7. Some of my men will be accompanying you," he announced.
"Are you_," she asked suddenly as Grey was about to turn around. "Are you still going to kill me after using me?"
Grey regarded her for a moment. "No, I won't," he turned around and walked out of the office.
Jane released the breath she didn't even know she was holding.
Outside the company, Don felt worried. "I don't think Jane is someone you should leave alive. She has tried to harm you once and she would do it again," he explained, worriedly.
"I know what I'm doing, Don. Drive to Victoria Skincare," he told them.
Don nodded briefly and turned towards Richard. He was the one in the passenger seat while Grey sat in the back seat. "Drive to Victoria Skincare."
Richard nodded briefly and started the ignition.
Grey was a lot calmer that day. The day before was the worst because he felt like killing everyone that had a hand in the death of his parents.
But no! Giovanni was a big mafia lord. It wouldn't be that easy to take him that but Grey was determined. That aside, he was going to think of a nice plan for him. And that would be after the meeting tonight with Giovanni.
"Boss, I think something is going on with the company," Don said suddenly, jerking Grey out of his thoughts.
He looked up and realised there were a lot of cars and reporters in front of Victoria Skincare.
"What's going on?"
Suddenly, Linda emerged from inside with handcuffs on her hands. There were a lot of workers behind her while her daughter was crying after her. And the police were leading them.
"I need to find out," Don got down and walked towards the clustered crowds.
The reporters gathered around Linda as she was being led away.
"I think that's the CEO car!" One of the reporters yelled and gestured towards Grey's car.
A lot of reporters hurried towards them.
"What should we do, boss?" Richard demanded.
Grey didn't say a word and the reporters got closer.
Boss!" Richard yelled to gain his attention but it was already too late as the people were already clustering around the car. The car wouldn't even be able to move if they wanted it to.
"Mr. Grey, what would you say about this incident?" Someone threw a question at him.
Just as Grey looked at the male reporter with curiosity, another question came from behind.
"Or are you in it with her? Did you intentionally start this cream company even when you knew the harmful substances you would use?"
Grey blinked once, then twice. What!
