Secretly The Billionaire Boss

Chapter 369

Chapter 369: Turn back

Wait, it was all so confusing to him. Grey has founded a new company and he was in fact competing with him.

It was at that moment that Seth realised that Grey and Hercules were two different personalities. Hercules was dead and Grey was competing with Seth. It all made sense to him.

Also, if they were of the same person, the deal would have been off. The order would have been awarded to Grey and there wouldn't even be anything as Maria had mentioned.

Seth couldn't wait to tell Smith about the news. Thank goddess, the three have an issue to fix initially. It would make him really happy if they beat Grey in business.

Smith arrived in Russia in no time but it all felt weird. Arnold and David’s men were always at some point around the place but suddenly, they weren't.

Smith had to stop and searched around for Arnold's men. It might really be difficult if he doesn't do that because he wouldn't be able to know where Arnold really was.

After several searches, he couldn't find them or maybe they left when they saw him. He couldn't really understand. Or why would Arnold be hiding from him?

He lodged into a room at a popular hotel. He still had some money on him which he got in Russia before moving over to Jacksonville.

A soft knock sounded on his door. "Hotel services,” the voice reached out.

Smith sighed and got up. He walked to the door and opened it.

I brought what you ordered but you can come over to our bar,” the attendant supplied.

Smith nodded once and that was when he remembered that there was a particular bar in town that he and Arnold loved to go to when he was still in Russia. There was eighty percent certain that he would definitely show up that evening.

Smith took the tray from the attendant. "Thank you so much," he closed the door and placed the tray safely on the table. He entered the bathroom for a quick shower and got changed into black trousers and a white t-shirt.

He didn’t have dinner as he rushed towards the popular bar in town.

Music was blaring out from every corner of the bar as he walked inside. His gaze searched around quickly for a trace of Arnold's men.

He barely walked a few feets when he saw one of them in a corner. His gaze searched even further until it rested on a few men standing around Arnold. Arnold was indeed in Russia.

Smith walked closer. Just when he was a few steps away, two men moved forward, obstructing him from moving forward.

"Why are you doing this? Don’t you know me? I'm Smith. I'm your boss’ friend and I demand to see him immediately!" He stressed in a thick voice.

The men didn't bulge and they were bigger than Smith. So, he couldn't even push them away. Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org

Smith looked up at them. "Don’t you recognize me? I used to dine with your boss. We even went to Jacksonville together. Don't you remember me again?" He explained.

The men ignored him and wouldn't even bulge.

Smith has never felt so frustrated in his entire life. He looked over at Arnold, having discussions with David. There were a lot of ladies around as well as wines and champagnes on the table in front of them. Smith begged silently for him to look in his direction.

"You have to leave," one of the men said suddenly, a dark frown on his face but Smith was being reluctant.

"You have to let me meet with Arnold or he's not going to take it easy with you if he finds out later on that you pushed me away,” he threatened as he didn't even know what else he was supposed to do or say.

Suddenly, Arnold looked over at him. He hesitated as his gaze lingered on him. There was a teasing smile on his face as he beckoned one of his men closer to him and whispered into his ears.

Smith watched as he gestured at him. And then, the man started towards him. Arnold turned towards David and then, suddenly,

David was also looking at him. There was something about their expression that scared Smith. Did they ditch him already?

"Boss wants you to let him through,” the man voiced out.

The two men blocking Smith's way nodded briefly and moved apart.

"I told you!" Smith yelled at their faces before he moved closer to Arnold. He pulled out the chair to sit but one of the men stopped him. "What are you doing?”

Arnold raised his hand in a bit to stop his man. The man shook his head briefly and stepped backward.

Smith sat and looked at Arnold. "We need to talk," he yelled out, angrily.

Arnold inclined his head aside. “What do you want US to talk about?"

"A lot!" Smith sighed. "Why did you leave Jacksonville without telling me about it? You didn't even tell me about the outcome of the plan I had concerning Grey.”

"You did this first, Smith. Where did you go when we were supposed to be carrying out your plan?"

"Yes, you ditched us first, Smith," David added quickly.

Smith groaned inwardly. They were right actually. He should have been present at the moment they were supposed to carry out the plan but he had to meet with Seth. Well, he could have called and informed them but he forgot to. Well, which was very bad of him. But he expected at least a call from them. If he wasn't going to call, they could have.

"I know but that doesn't mean you should leave Jacksonville without a word. I was worried when I returned home and couldn't find you. I couldn't even find anything that belonged to you. You took everything as if you already made up your mind to leave forever,” he explained.

Arnold smacked his lips. "Well, we have decided to do that."

Smith blinked once. "What do you mean?"

"We will stay in Russia. You should also stay in Jacksonville," David stated.

Smith blinked once, then twice. "What are you talking about? We had a plan. There was something we wanted to do before leaving Russia. Why are you saying this now?”

"We have decided, Smith. We have nothing to do with you. You should go back."

Smith couldn't believe his ears. Why were they hesitant? Was there something going on that he doesn't know?

"Is everything alright?”

Arnold sat up. "We are mafia bosses, Smith. You are not the boss of US. We decide what we want to do and no one can change that."

Arnold was still a bit scared. Why would Smith think of causing them so much harm after he had told him to make sure his facts were straight?

Though Hercules might have been hiding from Smith for a reason best known to him, they wouldn't risk their lives for someone they barely know.

Hercules was a big boss and almost everyone knows about him. They could be mafia bosses but they were nothing in comparison with Hercules.
