Secretly The Billionaire Boss
Chapter 103: Dusted Jasonâs heart skipped a thousand beats. âWhat did you just say? Who am I speaking with?â Grey released a sigh.â Why will I lie about my identity?â
âI_Iâm not saying you are lying,â Jason stuttered.â Why would I say that? I was just bothered,â he took a deep sigh.â I mean skeptical. I didnât know you had a relationship with SU world.â
âI own a lot of companies. How are you supposed to keep track of all of my companies? What are you?
A spy?â He muttered.
âNo!â Jason said quickly.â I mean, I didnât mean it like that,â he stammered, almost out of air.â I was just surprised. I mean, itâs a pleasure speaking with you. Are you really the owner of SU world?â
Grey laughed.â Do you want to know the names of all my companies? Then, we could arrange a meeting.â
Jason laughed anxiously.â I didnât mean it like that but I will be glad if you meet with me. Iâve always wanted to meet with you,â he revealed.
Grey cleared his throat meaningfully. âOne of my workers told me you needed to speak with me. Iâm hearing something about Grey, my manager,â he smiled at this.â What was it about again?â
Jason coughed.â |_we_nothing! I mean I only wanted to speak with you and let you know how hard-
working Grey is.â Grey chuckled softly.â Seriously?â âYes, sir!â He affirmed in a deep voice.â I mean why else. But can I really get to meet you? I would be pleased if that happens.â Grey went silent for a moment.â You can depend on how you get along with the SU world. Itâs the smallest company of mine and Grey is one of my trusted men.â âSeriously? Does it mean that Grey has seen you?â Grey laughed again. âOf course. If you want to meet with Hercules, move closer to Grey. When you see Grey, youâve seen me,â and he hung up. His phone started ringing almost immediately. It was Jane. âHi, Hercules.
Iâve succeeded in setting a conference call with three investors. Itâs by 2. Is that fine by you?â
Grey thought about it quickly. He had a meeting by 2 but since it was just a conference call. It wouldnât take much of his time.
âFine, itâs ok.â
âSo,â she trailed off. âWill you be coming to the company for it?â
âNo, I will do it here. I will merge calls on my phone. Just send me the conference attendeesâ phone numbers,â he decided.
âAlright Boss. I will do just that.â
Grey nodded and hung up.
âI know what you did, Avery!â Smith yelled in anger.â I know what you did exactly. And you must think you can get away from it!â
Avery regarded him for a moment.â Just calm down, Smith. I donât even know what you are talking about,â she responded calmly. Smith couldnât stop thinking about the embarrassment he got at Protos Pubblicita. He had never got embarrassed so much except on Lucyâs birthday when Don betrayed him.
He didnât want to think of that anyways since it was Grey and he couldnât fight against him.
But Avery was using the same tactic that he was using against her. Perhaps, she knew the truth about Grey and she was trying to get revenge.
Smith scoffed. âYou seemed so calm, for someone whose brother was disgraced in such a way.â Thatâs it! Avery seemed to have had enough. She was trying to talk it amicably with him but Smith was proving too stubborn.
âSo what? You are not even my brother, so stop giving me that bullshit! You were embarrassed, so how is that my fault?â She retaliated.
â You think I didnât know what you did?â Smith didnât want to have it.â I know you bribed Jane to take me out of the project,â he said.
Averyâs eyes went wide with shock and she felt a stab of annoyance at his accusation.â What? Do you think Iâm like you? Do you think I would stoop so low for something like that? If you were disgraced, it could be because of something you did. Why blame it on me?â She yelled angrily. âExactly! I knew you would show it soon enough, Avery. Itâs exactly who you are and you are going to regret it!â He walked out of the office without waiting for Avery to respond He suddenly thought of Seth again and wondered why he hadnât been able to reach him all day.
He got off work and decided to see Seth at the office. They needed to talk anyway and he also wanted to ask about what he had decided concerning Herculesâs offer, He had been so occupied with Lucyâs birthday that he didnât have time for Seth.
He pulled up in front of KK corporation and tried to calm down. Perhaps he might be able to cook up another plan to get Avery to back off He entered the lobby and moved to the receptionist.
âHi Paulina, how are you doing?â
Paulina looked up and smiled. âHi, sir. How may I help you?â
âIs Seth inside?â He inquired.
Pauline observed him for a moment.â Heâs not in. Heâs never going to be in.â
Smith raised skeptical brows at her.â What do you mean?â
âSeth doesnât own this company any more,â Linda said suddenly, stepping closer to him.
Smith turned to look at Linda with a confused look. He still didnât get what was really happening âWhat?â
Linda turned to Pauline. âLet me know when Mr. Jake comes in.â
Pauline nodded once. âAlright.â
Linda looked at Smith. â Letâs talk outside.â
âSure,â Smith nodded.â We could go inside my car,â he offered and moved out of the company, while Linda followed.
Before Linda would get inside, Smith tried Sethâs line again but it wasnât reachable. He sighed, disturbed. Something was really wrong somewhere, especially with the fact that he missed Sethâs calls.
Linda entered the car. âHave you called Seth, Smith?â
Smith shook his head.â Iâve been trying but I couldnât reach him.â
Linda sighed. âSeth sold the company already.â Smithâs eyes went wide with shock. âHe did what?â
Linda nodded briefly. âYes, we only discovered it this morning. Even Nora was here and it looks like she knew who the new CEO was.â
Smith regarded her for a moment. âWhatâs the name of the CEO?â
âWell, I donât know his last name but heâs Grey.â Smith went into shock immediately.â Grey is the new owner of the company?â
