Secretly The Billionaire Boss by Debbie chocolate novel Chapter 193

“What!” Linda exclaimed softly beside Grey.

Grey observed Hattie for a moment. Hattie was starting to act very desperately. She knew anyway that he was going to make it. Businessmen always knew when there would be a tumover.

“So, what do you say?” Hattie smiled softly. She was still an attractive woman even in her forties. And news had it that she had undergone different beauty treatments. “I can make you and your entire family rich,” she bragged.

“But_,” Linda started but Grey raised a hand to stop her.

Hattie stretched out towards the man by her left and the cheque was given to her. She took it and tore one of it, then scribbled some names and others.

“Here,” she stretched it out. “I didn’t add any figures. You can cash out any amount you want. Consider this as your lucky day.” Grey smirked, unable to believe his eyes. “Are you scared?” Hattie raised skeptical brows, as she place the cheque in front of Grey.” What do you mean by that?”

“Are you so scared of failing? Victoria Skincare is going further than you can ever think and we have no plan of stopping. Do you think this can be used to bribe us?” He bombarded her.

Hattie blinked once, then twice. She was sincerely not expecting the reply. Everyone loved money, especially someone who was an orphan. Well, Hattie made some investigation about Grey as she was curious about his relationship with Hercules. She got to find out that Hercules was Grey Fox according to their spy while the Grey in front of her was Fennel. Hattie smiled. “I’m only trying to help your poor life, Grey Fennel. There’s a lot you can do with this huge amount of money. You might even think of starting a cool business. I’m only talking in your interest.”

Grey chuckled softly before he took the cheque and tore it into pieces.

He looked up at Hattie.” I don’t need your money and I’m definitely not going to give you the recipe. This is a business world. Everything should be fair and not bribed into,” he said with a twist to his lips.

“Seriously?”

Grey nodded once. “You may leave now, we have no business together.” Hattie hesitated for a moment before she stood.” Think about it and get back to me.” Grey stood up as well.” There will be nothing like that. Let’s meet at the final end.” Hattie gathered her brows.” What?”

Grey nodded briefly. “Yes, let’s meet at CCS,” he repeated in a deep voice. Hattle laughed for a moment. “Seriously? Are you willing to walk this with me? Are you going to go against me?”

“As I’ve said earlier, this is business, and well, if you aren’t careful, the CCS award will be mine,” he finished in a voice that left no room for another before he looked at Linda.” Please, walk her out.”

Hattie stared at Grey for a moment as she felt a stab of annoyance. “No one mess with me, Grey. Keep that in mind,” she finished and walked out of the office.

Grey moved after her in slow space since he was going to Protos Pubblicita. He stopped suddenly when he saw Hattie speaking with Beatrice. Hattie really does remember Beatrice.

He didn’t move closer because he didn’t want Hattie to think there was a relationship between Beatrice and Hercules. As far as he knew, Hattie might have already done some research about him.

Hattie finally walked out of the company and Grey eventually moved closer to Beatrice. “Grey,” she called softly, with a voice that showed she was starting to get scared.

Grey led her into the elevator. “What did she tell you?” He let the elevator’s door close before he questioned her.

Beatrice sighed. “She wanted me to remember what had happened years ago. She threatened me to submit the recipe since she knew I was the one that sold it to you for the money.” She revealed.

“So, she doesn’t know that we are connected?”

Beatrice shook her head,” she doesn’t know. She thinks I sold it for you because of the money. Since I hate her, she understood why I would be at your side instead of her. Though, I’m scared of what she might do next. Hattie is a very dangerous woman,” she complained. Grey let out a sigh.” Don’t worry, you will be safe. I’m going to get some men to keep you safe. You and Linda obviously. She wouldn’t do anything to you this time,” he assured.

Beatrice looked up at Grey.”Be safe. Nothing must happen to you, Grey or Victoria would turn in her grave,” she indicated as her hands cupped Grey’s face.” And I don’t want to lose the only child I can ever have in this world.” She opined.

Grey smiled at this.” You wouldn’t lose him, I promise you. Just make sure you go everywhere with the men 1 assign you with,” he expressed.

Beatrice nodded and finally let him go.” You should return to work.”

“Yes, I will see you later at home,” he assured and let Beatrice step out of the elevator before he took it back to the lobby.

He placed a call to Don and he picked it up immediately. “Hello, boss.”

“I need ten men iminediately. Find some of your trusted men and let them go to Victor Skincare. Tell them they would be paid for their work. And well, their works are simple. They are to act as puardians.”

“Alright boss but has Alex taken a step?”

“No, this is Hattie and it’s currently under control. I will let you know if something comes up again,” he assured.

“Alright boss.” Grey barely hung up when his phone started ringing. It was Maria this time. He walked into his car before he picked it up. “Hello Boss, you have received an invitation card,” she announced. “Invitation card?” “Yes, Boss from the Billionaire club as Hercules.” Grey’s other phone rang suddenly and it was Alfred. “I will be at the office soon, wait for me,” he stated and hung up to pick up Alfred’s call. ” Hi Hercules, have you received the invitation?” “Yes, my secretary just informed me about it. What’s it all about?” Alfred went silent for a moment.” It’s Giovanni’s plot. He wants to know who you are.” Grey was confused for a moment.” What do you mean? Is it an organization founded by Giovanni?”

“No, but Giovanni has already been confirmed as the new head of the Billionaire club but suddenly, he rejected it and moved for you to be the new head of the Billionaire club.” He explained.

Grey nodded briefly.” Then, I will reject the offer. I’m not ready to let Giovanni know who I

am.”

“Yes, but you can’t reject it. Being the Billionaire boss will really help you in all areas. That asides, it would add to your influence and power,” he revealed. “You need to accept it.” Grey thought for a moment.” Why would Giovanni leave something so important for me? Why is he suddenly working in my favour?” He was skeptical an he knew there was more to it, Alfred released a sigh.”Exactly, Grey. This position is supposed to be bait for Giovanni. He’s willing to lose it as long as he discovers wlio Hercules is but it’s going to affect him. Well, being the Billionaire boss comes in handy and Giovanni is going to regret rejecting it.” “So?” Grey pressed further.

“You must accept but we must find a way to prevent Giovanni from seeing your face. Though, I’ın not sure how that will happen.”
