“There are lots of reporters outside the company and they wouldn’t leave,” Violet revealed anxiously. Maria raised skeptical brows,” what do you mean? Why are reporters here?”
Violet sighed. “They want to see Hercules. There’s news everywhere that Hercules is back.” “What!” Maria exclaimed softly. Before she could say something else, Jones walked inside. “Miss Maria, we need to do something. The reporters are currently in the lobby. Despite how much we’ve managed to pull them back, they wouldn’t leave without seeing the Hercules,” she informed her.
Maria looked at Violet.” You and Jones should prevent them from moving further. I will speak with Hercules and seek his intervention.”
Jones’s eyes widened. “What? Hercules? Is he really back?” Maria nodded briefly.” Did you think Hercules doesn’t know what happens in this company? Go now!” She urged them. She waited for a moment as the two ladies walked out before she moved out too.
She hurried towards Grey’s office. She knocked and waited for Grey’s permission before she walked inside.
Grey was on the laptop. He was looking at the Victoria Skincare website and saw that it was really moving faster. In fact, his words as Hercules did a lot to push the company forward.
Within a matter of days, the company was on the search list and also the trending cream company. Somehow, it was now beside the popular Smooth Therapy. The thing looked pleasing to him and he smiled.
“Boss, we have an issue,” Maria announced but Grey didn’t look up. Instead, he raised a hand as a means for her to proceed. “There are reporters in the lobby, looking for you.”
Grey looked up at her, with raised brows.” What? Me?”
Maria nodded briefly, then shook her head again.” I mean not as Grey Fox, but as Hercules.”
Grey regarded her for a moment.” Why do they want to see me?”
“They heard you were alive. It must have been the steps you took yesterday. Anyways, everyone now knows you are back and wants to see you,” she revealed.
Grey relaxed back in his seat, as different thoughts went through his mind. He finally settled on something and looked up at Maria. “Inforin them that I went out of the country yesterday and would be back soon. Tell them I would be back very soon and would visit the reporters for my identity reveal.
Maria felt alerted.” Isn’t that extreme?” She asked, concerned.” I mean do you plan on revealing yoursell anyume soon? Also, do you think they would be convinced and leave?! mean that’s what Jane has always told them.”
Greysmiled softly.” Don’t worry about the others, just do as you are told. They would leave.”
Maria slowly nodded.” Alright, I will do that,” and she walked out of the office.
Grey made a decision yesterday, even without the other elders. He was going to give it to Giovanni when lie didn’t expect it.
Maria regarded her for a moment, as she thought quickly about the reason why Smith would be in Protos Pubblicita.
Smith was still fuming when Maria walked inside with Violet,
“Good morning, Miss Maria,” Mia greeted softly.” We need to discuss this as soon as possible.
There were three more people sorted in the meeting room.
Maria regarded them for a moment. “Yes, no problein,” she sat and looked up again. “Is everything alright?”
“No! How can you even ask that?” Smith fired suddenly,
“We came here with a proposal which Hercules was supposed to fulfill. Why did we sign a contract in the first place if he wouldn’t go into every detail?” Mia pressed further. Maria raised skeptical brows. “I don’t know what you are talking about.”, Smith banged on the table suddenly.” Stop saying that, Maria but you do know what I mean. Hercules was supposed to be our ambassador. Why would he be an ambassador for Grey?” ” Because Hercules signed a contract with LX company and not LX corporation,” a deep voice expressed and Grey stepped out. “There’s a huge difference between the two.” Smith looked up at Grey and hot anger surged through him.”And why the fuck is he in here? Send him out! We are having a very important meeting here!” He was enraged. Maria looked at him.” We can’t do that. Mr. Grey is the new supervisor and he has every right to attend whatsoever meetings he chose to.”
Smith’s face fell. Only a question went through his mind. How did Grey rise to such a position? How could he be the CEO of Victoria Skincare and still be a supervisor at Protos Pubblicita?
