Chapter 405

Chapter 405: Dissatisfaction Seth and Smith met each other at the office. They were very excited that things were going fine. With Grey gone, things would go even better.

“Yesterday night was fun. The girls were amazing!” Smith laughed.

Seth joined in. “I told you. I told you it was going to be a lot of fun! Come, hurry up! We need to get the order and all our dreams will come through,” he jubilated.

Smith smiled. “I can't wait. We have to hurry up. Maria might have a lot of appointments today. Though it doesn’t matter how long it takes, our order will be waiting for us whenever we are given the chance to come forward,” he explained.

“But I think we should do this now. I can’t wait to get my hands on it,” they both walked into the car.

Smith took the driver’s side and soon, they were on the way to Protos Pubblicita.

Smith was so happy and would have mocked David and the rest if they were in Jacksonville at that moment. They had all refused to help him, yet Grey eventually died. Though, he couldn't stop thinking there was more to it than they were saying. It felt like something actually happened but Smith didn’t even know and there was no way to find out.

They entered the garage and found a nice spot to park before they both entered the lobby. They didn’t stop until they were almost at Maria’s office.

Violet walked to them. “Is there anything I can do for you?”

“Yes, we are here to see Maria. I’m sure she’s waiting for us already,” Seth explained with so much boldness that amazed Violet.

Violet made a nod of her head. “Alright, follow me then. I will announce your presence to her.”

In the next few minutes, Seth and Smith were in Maria’s office, smiling widely.

Maria blinked once, unable to comprehend what was happening. “

Hello and good morning.”

Seth nodded once. “Good morning, Maria. We are here now as we couldn’t wait for you to send us the message.”

Maria blinked once, then twice, totally lost. “I don’t understand what you are talking about but please, have your seat,” she indicated to the chairs in front of her.

Seth and Smith nodded and took their seats.

“We didn’t want to wait for so long concerning the order. So, we decided to come here for the news,”

Seth explained.

Maria blinked once, totally lost again. “Haven't we discussed that already?”

Seth nodded once. “Yes we have but it’s ok. We know already that you've changed your decision after what happened to Grey. We didn't want you guys to look embarrassed, which is why we are here.” He explained.

Maria chuckled. “What do you mean? You mean the news circulating about Grey?”

Smith nodded. “Yes, we are sure. A dead man can’t handle the order, so it should be ours.”

Maria watched them for a moment before she folded her arms in front of her. “Now, I understand you guys. You already expected us to change our minds about who to give the order to since we initially planned on giving Diamond base but now, their CEO is dead?”

Seth nodded happily, a smile tugging at his mouth. “We didn’t want you to be embarrassed is why we are here,” he repeated.

“We aren't,” Maria said casually.

Seth furrowed his brows. “What?”

“We definitely didn't change our mind. It doesn’t matter if Grey is dead, we have given the order to Diamond base and not their CEO. I’m sure a new CEO will be appointed and everything will work accordingly,” she explained, shocking them.

Seth and Smith were dumbfounded.

“w_what are you trying to say?” Smith stammered.

“That you should leave my office now before I call security on you!” She said slowly.

Seth and Smith were forced to their feet. They were shocked that they couldn’t speak as they walked out of the office.

Yet again, Seth felt a stab of annoyance at Smith. It was his fault that he was facing another embarrassment. He would never be able to forgive him.

Jamal looked up at Dave for a moment. “Are you serious? Was there really a meeting yesterday night at Giovanni’s place?”

Dave nodded briefly. “Yes. I wasn’t invited but I saw the members enter his house. And it took a while for them to come out. I know that they discussed a lot there but it’s a pity I know nothing of it.” he explained.

Jamal nodded once. “We will confirm that when Gary gets here. I’m really sure that he was invited. He has always been neutral.” he assured.

Dave nodded once. “Alright but I don’t think there’s anything we can do if Grey is truly dead.”

Jamal watched him for a moment. He was right anyways. If something had really happened to Grey, then there was no saying what Giovanni would do. He has always wanted the president position. But Jamal didn’t know that Hercules would be gone like that. Hercules was so powerful even though he was very young.

And Jamal was thinking he might even be the next king of the world. But that has suddenly been thwarted.

The door opened suddenly and Gary walked inside. He grunted as he moved to sit beside Dave. “What did you call me for?”

“You were in the meeting last night, weren’t you?” Gary looked at Jamal for a moment. “Yes, I was.

Why?”

“Why did you discuss this? What is Giovanni currently planning?”

“Becoming the next president and he’s going to succeed with it,” he watched Jamal's expression. “One of the members is dead. He killed him, just as he would kill anyone that wants to stop him. And I think that includes you as well,” he explained.

“What???” Jamal exclaimed softly. “Giovanni killed a member?”

Jamal hadn't checked the news that morning so he didn't know. In fact, he has been trying to reach Alfred but all to no avail. He wanted to confirm if Grey was really dead or not.

“Why are you acting as if you don’t know Giovanni even before he joined the billionaire club?”

Right, Giovanni was very dangerous. He thought Hercules would put him in his place but he had defeated him as well.

“Why did you discuss this? What is Giovanni currently planning?”
