Secretly The Billionaire Boss by Debbie chocolate novel Chapter 36

Chapter 36: Seeing a rival

Grey got to work earlier but he didn’t miss the rumors already circulating about him. A lot of workers were discussing what the manager would do to Grey.

He walked to the elevator which was almost occupied. He hurried inside before the door would close.

“See, he’s even so brave,” someone whispered behind him.

‘Good morning Mr. Grey. How was your night?” Jane asked politely, a smile on her face.

Grey looked at her. He hadn’t realized she was inside the elevator. “Great. How was yours.”

Jane’s smile broadened. “Great.”

The elevator made a beep and the door opened. Grey walked to his office He hadn’t sat when the telephone rang. He wondered who was calling at such an early hour.

He picked it up nevertheless, “Hello, good morning”

“This is the manager of J.K company and I want you in my office right now,” he muttered thickly and the phone went off.

Grey knocked on the door slowly. “Hello, this is Grey, and im_.’ he couldn’t finish his words as the door jerked open

“You should walk inside ” Cindy hissed and walked past him it looked like she was the secretary of the manager No wonder she has pride. What would she do if she discovered that Grey was the Hercules? The overall boss?

Grey stared behind her for a moment before he decided to close the door and moved closer to the manager

“Good morning,” he greeted politely,

Alex huffed. “What’s so good about the morning? Do you think this company is for the fun of it?”

Grey blinked once, I don’t get that.”

* Alright then,” he pulled out a white envelope and stretched it out

Grey took it and unloose it. He stared down at the sack letters. He looked up at Alex again. You are sacking me?”

Alex smiled “As you can see. Your atrocities have become way too much. I need you off the hook immediately!”

Grey couldn’t believe his ears. Did you tell Alfred about this?”

“Alfred?” Alex found it disrespectful that he was referring to the owner of the company without a form of respect. “Anyways, I’m the managing director of this company and I can fire whoever I want to as long as they aren’t doing their responsibility.”

Grey scoffed ” Seriously? Or did you save because Cindy wanted you to?”

“What are you trying to insinuate?’ Alex stood and banged at the desk, angrily.

Grey regarded him for another moment. ‘A manager shouldn’t faiter. You should never let yourself get controlled by a lady though, I’m aware of who Cindy is. She’s manipulative and_.’ Grey stopped quickly as Alex’s hand was coming towards his face. Grey caught his hand in the air and held it still,

Alex tried to pull away but it was even more difficult “Let’s go! Leave my handi” He ordered

“You should learn to keep your hand in check,” he said with a little smile. “But what can I do if you want me to let it go,’ and he releases it suddenly. Alex was already struggling to pull away. So, because of the sudden release, he fell back to the floor with a groan,

“You are fired! And I mean it!” Alex yelled angrily.

Grey folded the envelope and threw it at him. “I’m leaving alright! You can have your business to yourself You lowlives! He yelled, anger surging through him

He walked out of the office, slamming the door so hard in anger.

When he walked out of the company, he remembered that it was Avery that drove him to work. And it wouldn’t be fine if he goes home that morning

Instead, he flagged down a taxi and told him to keep driving

They drove for some minutes before the driver pulled to a stop suddenly. There was suddenly a barricade in the middle of the street Some escorts were on each side of the street, telling each car to turn away

The driver sighed “Where are you going exactly? Do I have to turn around?

Grey was still staring at Bugatti la Voiture Noire One of the escorts was holding the door car out A man dressed in Louis Vuitton wear came out of the car He stopped briefly as he regarded the building before he walked inside. Grey couldn’t see his face as his back was to him

“Who is that man?

“That’s Sir Giovanni Montego, the wealthiest man after Hercules,” the driver pointed out

Grey grew anxious He had never seen Giovanni and would love to see what he looked like. Was he a young man like he was or was he as old as Alfred?

“I’m alighting here,” he said quickly and stretched out his bill.

Grey rushed towards the building By now, the escorts were entering the building as well and the street was free for others to pass through

Something struck Grey suddenly, Il Giovanni has escorts, why didn’t his father go out that unfortunate day with an escort? If his father had gone with escorts, he wouldn’t have died and Grey wouldn’t have been shot

“Hey!’ A deep voice said from behind him as Grey was about to walk inside the building. He however rushed to the sliding door that closes when someone enters and doesn’t stop rolling over,

Grey stepped into the lobby. Giovanni was speaking with another man just close to where Grey was Yet, Grey couldn’t see the face of Giovanni

The building was a very spacious one and Grey wondered who the owner was. Though, it looked like an expensive suit

A lady walked closer to Giovanni and took a short bow “Let’s go, Mr. Glo,’ she invited and led Giovanni towards the door by the left

Just as Grey was about to move closer, an arm was around his shoulder

“What do you think you are doing? Spying on someone?

They didn’t wait for him to say anything as they started to pull him away.

“Hey! Stay away. One of the escorts yelled at him and they departed from him

Grey’s phone rang suddenly and it was Alfred

“Hello Grey, where are you? “Well, I got sacked and I’m currently at,” Grey pulled to a stop and he instead went for the billboard to know the name of the suite. ‘It’s Clarion Inn and suites.”

Alfred went quiet for a moment. “What are you doing at Giovanni’s suites?”

Grey regarded the building for a moment. “This belongs to Giovanni?

Alfred sighed “You know what, just get back to work. I just got to the company and I realized what had happened. This wouldn’t work. It wouldn’t work if you keep working here as an office assistant. I need to increase your potential. I will never tolerate anyone looking down on you. So, you have two choices to make. Grey. You can be a manager of J.K company or be a worker in your company.” Alfred declared.
