Secretly The Billionaire Boss

Chapter 370

Chapter 370: Into plan

"You promised me!" Smith stressed. He felt disappointed and angered." You promised to make Grey pay for everything he had done to me. Why are you suddenly changing your mind? Besides, you were supposed to go with the plan," he had never been frustrated.

"There's something you don't understand, Smith," Arnold started suddenly." We decided to help you out and now, we've decided not to anymore.

There's nothing you can do about it,” he smiled slightly. "Except to leave.

“Exactly, Smith. This isn't something to discuss. And we are not asking for your opinion,” David said.

Smith clenched his fists beside him. "Don't do this to me, Arnold! Why are you so scared?"

Arnold's expression changed immediately. "That's none of your concern! Leave now before I force you out!” He threatened in a thick voice to scare Smith away.

Smith didn't know what was happening and why they were suddenly being stubborn. He knew there was something to it but what could it have been?

"Now!" David yelled at a once that Smith jerked backward. NôvelDrama.Org is the owner.

Smith got up quickly as Arnold's men were already moving closer to him. He walked out of the bar very fast. He wasn't needed in Russia anyways. So, he had to return to Jacksonville. And well, there was Seth there that was going to help him. He had better take up the opportunity till he was able to find out what actually happened with David and Arnold and perhaps find out how to get back with them.

Grey's phone rang suddenly. It was Alfred. He pulled up in the garage of Protos Pubblicita to answer the call.

"Hello, Alfred."

"Hi, Grey. Good news. I got the building you wanted. Everything is set and I think you only need to worry about the pieces of furniture," he supplied.

Grey nodded once. "I will send someone over to get everything in place. Just make sure you are there to supervise them."

"I understand Hercules but what should we do about the news currently circulating about Hercules?"

Grey raised skeptical brows. “What news?"

"News about you collapsing at the billionaire party. Do you think we should let the public know that you are alright?"

Grey reasoned about it for a moment. “Sure. I will do that with Maria. We've served our reason already."

“Alright, that's cool then. I will discuss this with Jamal. He's so worried about you. And I think you should check up on Aphrodite."

Grey got out of the car. “Why did you say so? Is anything wrong?"

Alfred hesitated. “One of her maids just called to tell me she has been out since and hasn't returned. I tried to call her but she wouldn't pick up. I just thought you should call her,” he suggested.

"Well, she could have been busy at work or anything. I'm sure she would return soon and if she doesn't by midnight, I would see what to do about it,” he assured.

“Alright, talk to you later."

“Alright, later then,” Grey finished and hung up. He hesitated as he thought about what Alfred told him concerning Aphrodite. Nothing can happen to Aphrodite anyways. She was one of the strongest women he had ever known. 1

He walked inside Protos Pubblicita and went straight to Maria's office. He knocked on the door slightly but didn't wait for a reply before he walked inside.

Maria had already seen him before he walked inside. She stood up to meet him. "Boss, are you alright?"

Grey nodded briefly, "I'm fine."

“But I heard the news. Is everything alright? You collapsed during the party. Are you really alright?"

Grey nodded briefly. "It was all a plan. I’m alright but I’m here to ask for your help."

"Yes, what's it all about? I will do anything you want."

Grey nodded once. “Has Seth been here?”

Maria nodded briefly. “He has and I did what you told me to. He was so overjoyed and Violet told me he asked him where Diamond base company was," she informed.

Grey nodded. ‘That's cool."

“But is the Diamond base going to be under your signature as the Hercules?"

"Not yet. I'm going to show Seth how much of an idiot he is,” he responded.

Maria nodded once. "So, what do you want me to do for you now?"

"I just got a better place, you know, Alfred should have sent you the address. But I still need some furniture. That aside, I would need to employ workers. So, I have a lot of work to do there and I can't ask Linda for help because she’s occupied with Victoria skincare. So, until I get a new secretary for Diamond base, you will need to serve as one," he explained.

“But what about Seth? What if he discovers that I'm working with you? Won't that disrupt your plan of dealing with him?" She inquired.

Grey thought for a moment and nodded. "You are right. This is why you need to get me a competent secretary at once, at least by tomorrow so that you can be free."

Maria nodded once, finally understanding him. "I will get back to work immediately.”

“Also, I want the furniture to be taken care of today. You can suspend all other activities for today till tomorrow when you are done with this.”

Maria nodded again. "Alright boss. But are you going to stay? Do you need me to get something for you?”

Grey nodded briefly. "That aside, I need you to add something to the front page of our new magazine. It is concerning my health issue. Everyone needs to know I’m not dead."

Seth smiled at the screen. The news was making him happy. At least he had eventually seen the evidence that showed that Hercules really collapsed.

It was all over the news. Seth brought a magazine that afternoon and Hercules was on the front page. Hercules collapsed and no one knows if he was still fine. Kidnapping Caramel and Beatrice were really helpful.

Seth laughed out so loud. He was proud of himself. He could eventually continue with his plan. Everything was getting into place.

Though, it doesn't really matter if Hercules doesn't die. Why? Because Grey wasn’t Hercules. But he was happy that everything went according to plan. In fact, he decided to go to the bar that night.
