Secretly The Billionaire Boss

Chapter 15

Chapter 15: Mistaken identity

Peter looked over at Gregory as if he still couldn‘t believe what was happening. Then, back at Jayden, with a blank expression. But he knew with Jayden‘s facial expression that he meant business.

He wondered however why they were helping the delivery man. Slowly, he bent down to pick the pieces. He turned to leave but stopped slightly to look at Grey, wondering why the manager and the strange rich man were protecting him. He held his anger in check and walked out. Not that he could help it anyway. He might really lose his job for real.

“Where the fuck have you been all this while?” Jayden was very happy. Grey sighed.“who are you to my father?” He asked instead, ignoring his question. “One of the elders,” he replied.

“Hercules is back,” Gregory said from behind. “But no one is supposed to know yet until we see Charles,” he suggested.

Jayden nodded briefly.” Yes, we have a spy amidst us. We can‘t risk Hercules‘s life.”

Grey raised skeptical brows.” Spy?” Gregory nodded. “Charles will tell you in detail. But I guess you will have to keep on a low profile for a while. I have no idea when Charles will be back,” he mumbled and moved to get himself some coffee. “whoever killed Grey‘s father is who we need to find. Who knows, perhaps the spy is someone very close to us.”

Grey thought for a moment. Perhaps, Charles was a betrayal like his father. He didn‘t want to trust him at all. That aside, it seemed like no one knew that Leo was a betrayal and the man that killed his father. And he was also the one that shot him

“How many elders do I have in this mafia business and what are their names?” Grey asked suddenly.

Jayden turned to be able to look at him.” Charles, Alfred, Gregory, Luciano, 1, and Aphrodite.” “Wait what?” Grey stared, shocked. “A female is part of the elders?”

Jayden nodded. “She is and she‘s the only one. Her mother died one year ago and Aphrodite has taken over.”

“Don‘t underestimate her, Hercules,” Gregory blurted in quickly.” She‘s the strongest woman I have ever seen. She‘s calculative and pretty but she‘s one hell of a woman.” Grey raised a brow.” What do you mean by that?” Gregory stood and moved closer with two cups of coffee. He stretched out one to Grey which he accepted.

“Stubborn. If you ever know me, then you will know hers is twice mine. And she‘s not easily brought.”

Grey understood what he meant. If Gregory had refused to accept her initially, he wondered what Aphrodite‘s behavior would be.

“I guess you should meet with her soon. She‘s not easily convinced. She‘s stiff–necked,” Jayden explained with a smirk.

Gregory smiled.” I don‘t think it will be an issue for Hercules. He wasn‘t the kind of man I ought him to be,” he walked back to the chair.

Jayden turned to look at him with skeptical brows. “Don‘t tell me Hercules defeated you?”

Gregory laughed. “Because he‘s Hercules.“.. Grey smiled. “I need to get going. We will meet later. I will arrange a meeting when I‘m done meeting all the elders,” he decided. Jayden nodded briefly.” How much are you supposed to get? I will settle it out with Peter later on.”

“I want just one million. The remaining 99 millions should be credited into a new account of mine. I don‘t want to arouse suspicion. And this money is supposed to be from Alfred‘s account.”

Jayden nodded again.” Stay here, I will be back,” he didn‘t wait for a reply before he rushed out.

Grey moved closer to Gregory and gently placed his empty cup of coffee. “Is there something about Aphrodite that you know?”

Gregory inclined his head aside as he thought about it.” Don‘t get on her nerves, she hates it so much. Don‘t flatter her and don‘t try to be funny. Ridiculous right?” Gregory laughed. C0pyright © 2024 Nôv)(elDrama.Org.

“Not really, I got you,” Grey said and the door opened again. Jayden walked in with a black bag.

“I think you need a car, Hercules,” Gregory looked up at Grey again.” I‘m going to call my manager now. You should go to Globe motors, a car will be waiting for you there,” he made a little smile.” You can pay me back twice the money when you finally assume your position.”

“You are too business when it comes to money. Why will you collect twice the money from Hercules?” Jayden moved closer to Grey and stretched the bag out.

“Well, he has the money,” Gregory smiled mischievously. “Do you know his net worth?” “I don‘t believe I‘m here and you are all discussing how rich I am,” Grey sounded confused but his eyes showed he was teasing.” I‘m leaving now to your company then,” he said with finality and waved them bye. Then he walked out of the bank. Peter was nowhere to be found when he walked out and Jessica was busy attending to customers.

Grey took a taxi right to Globe motors. He wanted to get home since he was tired already. And maybe, get the suit the next day. But he knew that Gregory was right with the fact that he needed a car.

He walked inside Globe motors and marveled at the kinds of cars on display but he forgot to ask Gregory the type of car he was getting. He moved towards two ladies chatting non–stop in the lobby. “Hi,” she greeted.

The ladies didn‘t answer him and continued to talk.

Grey banged at the table. “Hello! I just said hi.”

“Hey! careful!” One of the ladies reprimanded. “You don‘t bang desk like that. Don‘t you know it‘s one of its kind? This desk is the best.”

Grey gave her a confused look and decided to let it slide.” I‘m here to get a car. I got an appointment with your manager”

The lady stared down at Grey and thought he was a fool. Grey was dressed casually and wouldn‘t be able to afford any car from Globe motors. Globe motors were known to deal with expensive cars.

“Like seriously? Is he kidding?” The lady laughed. “I just said I want a car. I‘m the one getting it and not you!” Grey was losing it already. He‘d had it all already. He wondered why his appearance must matter wherever he went.

Couldn‘t people stop judging him for the clothes he was wearing?

“Did you know a car was brought here last night?” The lady turned to the other one and continued to talk, leaving Grey stranded as if he doesn‘t matter.

“This car is a scarce one and well, it is worth millions. Only three exist in the whole world.” “What the fuck?” The other lady exclaimed softly.” And one was brought here?” The first lady nodded briefly. “And the manager just called me to inform me that someone was coming over to take it.”

The second lady blushed.” He must be very rich. I am sure he‘s handsome as well.” The first lady giggled.” Of course, he‘s very wealthy. What kind of man can afford a $28 million car?” She laughed.” The man will be here soon, you know. I was actually able to get his name.”

Grey sighed, somehow tired already. He reached for his phone to call Alfred since he doesn‘t even have Gregory‘s number.

“Tell me,” the second lady squealed.

” His name is Grey Fox.” Grey whipped his head towards the ladies. Didn‘t they just mention his name?
