Secretly The Billionaire Boss By Debbie Chocolate Chapter 202
Secretly The Billionaire Boss
Chapter 202: caught Grey jumped down and brought out his phone. There were several calls from Beatrice, Don, and Jimmy. And, Grey sensed that Don must have seen Jimmy.
He ignored it, placing the phone in the safety of his pocket before moving towards the car.
âIâm going to mobilize the men eventually. We will have to penetrate the building,â Don expressed.
âWhat for?â Grey asked suddenly, startling them for a moment.
They all turned to look at him and relief washed them.
âIâm so glad you are safe,â Beatrice cried softly.
Grey sighed and pulled the mask off. âLetâs leave. We can discuss this in a safe place,â he started and moved towards the car.
Beatrice entered the back seat, beside Grey while Don and Richard went back to their cars.
They all drove out of Hattieâs street. The other cars followed Grey to his house since Grey didnât let Jimmy stop until they got back home.
âBoss, we were so scared. You shouldnât have entered the building alone. You could have informed me,â Don said quickly the moment he entered the living room.
Grey looked at Don. âI had to see it firsthand. Did you get anything about Caramelâs whereabouts?â
Don shook his head briefly and moved to sit, meanwhile, Beatrice was by the door, lost in thoughts.
âHattie caught US immediately. I and the others had to stay in the car,â Richard explained.
Grey nodded briefly, âCaramel isnât there anyways. What did you guys talk about by the way? Does Hattie still want the recipe?â
âYes, you guess right,â Beatrice walked to Grey slowly. âCaramel is really my daughter.â
Grey looked up at her, shocked for a moment, âshe is?â
Beatrice nodded briefly, she felt so exhausted and fed up. âHereâs the DNA result,â she stretched out the file to him.
Grey took it and looked through it. He still couldnât believe it. How could Caramel be the daughter of Beatrice?
âHattie wants the recipe before tomorrow night or we will lose Caramel,â Don explained.
Greyâs hand tightened around the paper, as different thoughts went through his mind in a sort of fuzzy confusion. âWe are giving her the recipe then.â
âWhat! â Don was shocked. âYou will?â
Grey nodded briefly, âIâm not going to lose Caramel.â
âBut,â Don started. âThis cream recipe belongs to your mother, Boss. It would be very bad if you lose it to the person that killed your mother,â he explained.
Grey stared down at the tiles for a moment, his teeth clenched in anger. Don was saying the truth but he couldnât help it. He couldnât even help the fact that his body boiled with rage at the fact that Caramel wasnât in the safety of her house. She has been kidnapped! He couldnât sit still.
âBut Boss, this isnât right,â Richard added quickly.
Grey looked up, with a glare. âI will not let anything happen to Caramel,â he repeated in a thick voice that kept everyone shut.
Grey stared at them for a while before he got up slowly. âIâm not going to wait for Hattie to kill Caramel like she killed my mom,â he moved away from them and moved toward the wall. âAnd Iâm going to do everything to get her out. No one can change my mind. So, donât even try to.â
Don let out a sigh, slowly. He understood anyways who Caramel was to him. In fact, he used to think Caramel was his girlfriend. â So, whatâs your plan?â
âIâm meeting Gregory tomorrow at 5star. You should come along. I will let you know of my plans,â he revealed.
Smith stared at the screen of the laptop for some minutes which felt like an eternity. His head was calculated at the same time.
The door opened suddenly and Mia walked in. âBoss!â she called urgently.
Smith looked up, a bit angry. âWhat happened to your manner, Mia?â he asked, half yelling.
Mia pulled to a stop as confusion clouded her face. â Iâm sorry, Boss. I didnât mean to barge in like that,â she apologized.
Smith sent her a chilly look before he focused his attention right back on the laptop. âWhat is this all about?â
âWe have failed sales,â she revealed.
Smith didnât reply, his gaze still focusing on whatever was on the screen.
âI mean sales are declining, boss. We only had a little rise on some days but they are not enough to cater for all we have lost,â she explained further.
Smith sighed but didnât look at her. âSo?â
âI-i.â she stammered as she unlocked her iPad. âI will advise that we stop this currently. We need to sit and think about this before embarking on this journey.â
âItâs too late to go back,â Smith whispered.
âNo,â Mia said quickly. âThe advertising company is here. We can still stop this.
We wouldnât have to lose more than we have already lost. If we keep doing this and it doesnât yield results, we might go bankrupt,â she announced.
Smith looked up at her, with eyes emanating rage. âAre you saying we will fail eventually? Do you mean the advertisement wonât work as well?â
Mia shook her head quickly, a bit scared of his hard stare. âI didnât mean that. I was just-,â her voice faded off. âI just want us to look at the possibility,â she whispered.
Smith regarded her for another moment. âWhat if it becomes a success?â
Mia sighed, reasoning it as well. Smith was right. The product might actually do well after the advertisement. What if it skyrocketed? But there was also the possibility that it might not and Mia was scared of bankruptcy.
âBut-,â Mia started but Smith cut her off.
âNo, but, Mia. Let them in. Iâm going to proceed no matter what. Donât worry, success is guaranteed this time,â he assured.
Mia accepted defeat eventually and bowed slightly before walking out.
The door opened almost immediately, and Avery walked inside.
Smith sighed, angry. He thought it was Mia again, âwhat is it again, Mia?â he asked as he looked up and realized it was Avery. He signed instead. âWhat are you doing here?â
âDid you take the fund behind my back?â was the question that slipped out of Averyâs mouth, she recently discovered that there were barely any funds in the LN company and she discovered that Smith had something to do with it.
âIs that why you are here?â
âYes! And I deserve an explanation! Iâm the president of LN! I deserve to know why you took the funds and what you used them for?â his voice went higher than normal, she was so angry. In fact, the accountant and the financial manager have been fired for not informing her about it. she was the CEO after all.
Smith stood, âTo beat Grey. I took the fund to beat Grey and Iâm on my way towards it. But you will stop talking to me in such matters!â he yelled out the last part âHow dare you then mess with my company fund, without my permission?â she retaliated.
âI told you about it, Avery. I told you about it. You were just being stubborn. So, I decided to go for the company interest,â he explained in a calm voice.
Avery huffed. âCompany interest? Do you know that thereâs barely any funds in LX?â
âI will return it,â Smith said stubbornly.
âHow? Your company is even declining.â
Smith shook his head briefly. âYes but not for long. It will definitely take a good turn. That I promise and Iâm going to return the money when Iâm done with it all.â
Avery regarded him for a moment. âIf you donât do that, we will go bankrupt and I will see the kind of explanation you will give grandpa,â she finished off and walked out of the office angrily
