Secretly The Billionaire Boss

Chapter 367

Chapter 367: Scheme

Kissing Caramel was what Grey had wanted to do all this while. He missed her so much but Caramel was suddenly pulling back as if he touched some vital points on her. Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.

Her face mirrored surprise or maybe it was fear. But why would she fear him?

"What? Is everything alright? Did I hurt you?" Grey wasn't sure but he still needed to ask.

Caramel shook her head briefly, with a smile. "I just-/ she stopped and swallowed harder. "I just remember some things from the past. I remember everything now,” her smile got even wider.

Grey smiled, overjoyed by the news. ‘That's good news. I'm so glad! I'm so happy about that. Come here,” he spread his arms wider again for Caramel to hug him.

Caramel hugged him, even though she had a lot going on in her head. There was no telling what she would do again.

But she knew what she wanted already. She wasn't ready to be with Grey, not anymore.But it wasn't what she could do at that moment.

Grey pulled her back slowly again." You should get some rest. I have some things to do. You can stay here till you are ready to come back home.”

"Home?" Caramel raised a brow as if she couldn't believe the word being used."Your place?"

Grey nodded once. "I will send one of the maids to take you to the guest room.’

Caramel nodded once and tried to look cheerful.

The door opened and Alfred walked inside with a maid as if he one Grey was going to be needing one of them.

Grey looked at him. ’Tell your maid to take Caramel to the guest room. You and I need to talk.”

Alfred nodded once and looked at the maid. He didn't need to talk because the maid understood him quickly. She had been working with Alfred for a very time anyways. She was as old as Beatrice.

She bowed slightly and moved to Caramel. "Follow me."

Caramel looked at Grey for a moment, their eyes locked for almost eternity before she turned around and left. Though, Grey didn't know if she was being reluctant because she would miss him or perhaps she was only scared.

But Caramel was being hesitant because of what she had seen.

Grey looked at Alfred. "I'm going to ruin Seth eventually and I'm going to kill him if Beatrice dies. But I need to make sure he doesn't tell Smith that I'm Hercules. He needs to be sure that Grey isn't Hercules. I need to make sure he’s like that."

He didn't want to think about the fact that Avery would know he was Hercules if Smith knows. Though, he had nothing to do with Avery anymore but_ it still felt weird for her to know. And many more people could get to know about him through Smith. If Smith already knows, then Seth had to change the perspective.

"I understand but do you have any plan?"

Grey nodded once. "I do but I need your help.”

Seth was still confused. What was really happening? Richard had called him earlier to inform him that Hercules wasn't dead and he was being followed.

He had even forgotten to ask him if he was alright at that moment. But he should be. If he wasn't, he would have told him.

But Caramel verified it. Then, maybe it was true. But Seth was still doubtful about it. And he wouldn't believe it until he has successfully verified it.

So, he waited till morning because Richard called him so late at night.

So, he got a dress that morning and left for Protos Pubblicita. He didn't call Smith yet as he wanted to confirm what Richard had told him.

He tried to call Richard's number again but it wasn't available and he wondered why. Maybe he would need to go to Seattle as well. That is if it turns out that Hercules was alive.

If Hercules was alive, his company would be removed from the deal and well, his secretary wouldn't even let him have a voice call with him.

These two pieces of evidence would confirm if he was really dead like Richard had informed him.

He arrived at Protos Pubblicita and nothing seem weird. There should have been something that would indicate that the CEO was dead. Also, he totally forgot to ask Caramel what the Hercules looks like. He was supposed to ask her if it was really Hercules or Grey.

The whole thing was suddenly confusing him. He was initially sure that Grey was Hercules but not anymore.

He walked inside the company and moved towards a lady in the lobby. "I'm Seth Robert. I want to speak with the Miss Maria.”

The lady sent him a smile. "Good day sir, do you have an appointment with her?"

"No, but my company is on the list of those to be awarded the million dollars of order. You can call her and inform her," he suggested.

The lady nodded and took her telephone. "Hello ma’am, Mr. Robert Seth would like to speak with you. What should I do?” She hesitated.

"Alright ma'am," she dropped the call and looked at Seth. "You can go in. She's waiting in her office.”

Seth bowed slightly and walked to the elevator. He knew where Maria's office was because he had been in the company severally even when Jane was still the general secretary.

Speaking of that, he heard the news of her departure and was a bit pained by it. Who knew that Giovanni's son could do something like that? Perhaps it was even Giovanni that sent his son to commit such atrocity.

He exited the elevator and moved closer to Maria's door. He knocked on the door briefly but no one answered.

A feminine voice cleared her throat at the intercom beside him. "Come in."

Seth opened the door and walked inside.

The room was a big one especially because Maria handled a lot of work and has a lot of secretaries working under her.

"Mr. Seth!” Maria stood up and extended her hand for a handshake. There was a huge smile on her face that amazed Seth. He wasn't expecting that.

Seth shook her hand. “How have you been, Miss Maria?"

"Very fine and you?”

"Well, fine as well but I'm here to meet with Hercules. Even if it's a voice call, anything would be appreciated."

Maria fidgeted for a moment as if caught unaware. ‘Hercules isn't here but_," she hesitated. "I have good news for you,” the smile that spread across her face was contagious. "I was going to contact you. You actually beat me to it."

Seth raised confused brows at her. "What are you talking about?”

Maria smiled. "We've been going through the list of companies that we would like to award the millions worth of orders,” she paused as her smile broadened.

"We have shed off other companies, except for two. This means you only have a competitor,’ she announced.

Seth stood still, shocked. The last time he knew, they had over 20 companies that were ready to take the order from him which was why he had to find a way through Caramel.
