Secretly The Billionaire Boss
Chapter 142: Amused Jane blinked once, then twice, unable to believe what Maria had said.
âWhat did you just say?â Jane inquired. âYou heard me, Jane. I just said I have been promoted as the secretary,â Maria repeated. âYes and you have been demoted to take Mariaâs position at SU world,â
Grey completed for Maria.
âWhat!â Jane gurgled. âNo, you are lying! This canât be! Itâs very impossible!â She yelled and took her phone, perhaps to call someone.
The door opened suddenly and the security walked in. âTake them out! Now!â Jane yelled, uncontrollably. Her heart was skipping every beat. She didnât want to accept it. It was just impossible anyways. She spoke with Hercules that morning and he didnât even hint at her. In fact, they spoke smoothly.
It could be a prank. Jane was sure that the information was incorrect.
Maria huffed and dipped into her purse for her identity card. She got it delivered to her that morning.
She didnât know what was happening at first when she saw the message that she had been promoted until she got the mail.
Though it had always been a prayer, she didnât know how Hercules knew her to have promoted her so suddenly. Maria actually suspected Grey. If he was close to Hercules as she had imagined, then he was the one that recommended her as the new secretary. And because Jane had already offended Grey, it wasnât weird that it was her position that Maria was given.
âHere, it has the stamp of Hercules,â she stretched it out for the security to see.â If thereâs anyone you should touch, it should be Jane.â
âWhat are you doing!â Jane yelled. â Iâm the secretary! You have all seen my ID. I have been working here for a long time!â She shouted in frustration.â Take him, listen to me!â She ordered in a thick voice.
The securities glanced at Maria, then at Jane. Suddenly, they moved closer to Grey. They were confused but they decided to take Grey out of the office before they decide on the next course of action. âIf you lay a hand on him,â Maria spoke suddenly. âJust a hand and you will lose your job! Thatâs the new supervisor and you do know that he has the right to fire you!â Maria announced.
Grey smiled, and relaxed back in his seat. â Let them touch me, and try to see what would happen.â He muttered.
Maria chuckled, but turned to look at the securities. â Mr Grey is the new supervisor, he has the right over the secretaries. You should listen to whatever he says,â she informed.
Grey regarded Jane for a moment and remembered the day he saw her with Giovanni. Even Grey hasnât seen Giovanni but Jane dines with him. Perhaps there were things he needed to discover about Jane. So, he wouldnât fire her even though it was the best thing in this situation. âWalk Jane out of this office because it now belongs to Maria,â he decided. The securities took a short bow and moved towards Jane. âWhat are you doing!â Jane yelled again. âWhat do you think you just did?â She struggled with the men as they pushed her forward forcefully. âLet me go! Iâm the secretary! You seriously canât do this to me! You canât demote me! Hercules wouldnât do it! You all are lying! You are conspiring! Iâm going to call Mr. Grey and confirm,â she rattled off as she was pulled out of the office.
Maria head made a flip at the name that Jane mentioned before she was pulled out. Jane just referred to Hercules as Mr. Grey. Eerily, he has the same name as the Grey in front of her. âThink less about her. Sheâs just bitter about it,â Grey said suddenly, jerking Maria out of her th Maria looked over at Grey and smiled. âI didnât know I would see you here.â Grey stood, a smile hanging on his face. âSeemed like we got promoted at the same time. I guess hard work pays.â Maria felt a surge of happiness. â I didnât expect it! I mean there was no way Hercules would have acknowledged me. He has so many companies. How did he learn of my hard-work?â It was just impossible unless he got it from someone. And well she suspected Grey. Greyâs smile widened.
âNothing is impossible. Just being honest will do the trick, â he encouraged. Maria couldnât stop thinking about it. It was just surreal but she was glad. âI donât know anywhere around here but I will have someone to show you to your office,â Naomi picked up the telephone and called her assistant. She met with her before she entered the office. Greyâs phone rang suddenly. It was Jane. He groaned and ignored it.
The door opened again and Mariaâs assistant walked in. âMaâam, here I am.â
âCarol, This is Mr. Grey, the new supervisor. Please show him to his office.â
Carol bowed slightly.â Please, follow me. I will show you to your office.â Grey nodded and followed Carol out of the office.
Carol led him to the tenth floor. Herculesâ floor was the eleventh floor, which was the last floor. âDo you need anything from me?â Carol asked politely. Grey gaze searched around the office.â No ,Iâm fine now.â Carol bowed slightly before she walked out of the office. Greyâs phone rang again and it was Jane. He sighed and picked the call.
âHello Boss,â Jane cried.
Grey huffed and sat. He was somehow amused with Jane and wondered about Janeâs new strategies.
âYes, what is this all about?â
âIâve been demoted!â She revealed. âGrey demoted me and lied that it was your order. I know it wasnât.
I told you that Grey was acting behind you. Heâs just so stupid and_â âShut up, Jane,â Grey said suddenly, cutting her off from the word she was about to say. âSir?â Jane was shocked. âI gave Grey the permission. You donât think I need your consent before I make decisions for my company, right?â
Grey demanded in a deep voice. Jane heart made a sudden thud at Greyâs revelation. âYou demoted me? And promoted Grey?â
Grey chuckled.â I initially wanted to fire you, Jane but I changed my mind at the last minute. I may still change it again,â he warned. He hid the last joker card but he might choose to bring it out. He wasnât going to be insulted, not by anyone. And he wouldnât take it with anyone that looks down on him.
