Secretly The Billionaire Boss by Debbie chocolate novel Chapter 77

Chapter 77: Frustrate them all Smith walked into grandpa Lucy’s office with a sad face.

“I don’t know what’s wrong but Protos Pubblicita is terminating the contract.”

Lucy’s face took on a wry line as he regarded Smith. ” What do you mean? Everything was going well. Why would they terminate the contract?”

Smith shrugged slightly.” We need to sue them. Hercules shouldn’t terminate like that!”

“You idiot!” Lucy snapped at him.” How could you even think of something like that? Hercules is a prominent man in society. We might find ourselves falling into the mud. We should rather seek his favor rather than his wrath.”

“What should we do then?” Smith murmured.

Lucy looked away as he thought about it.” Does he state anything he wants?”

Smith thought quickly about the question and his eyes sparked.” He wants Avery to be in charge.”

“What?” Lucy couldn’t believe his ears. How did Hercules get to know Avery that he would be choosing her over Smith?

“I told you. I told you that Avery had been disgracing you secretly. I’m sure she must have seduced one of Hercules’ managers. Avery is always doing shit like what she did with Grey. If I didn’t call you over that day, she would have lied about it!” Smith had thought about it severally and realized the only way to take the company from Avery was to make him hate Avery. And Smith knew exactly what Lucy despised. Lucy’s eyes turned red at the revelation. “Are you sure of what you are saying?”

Smith nodded briefly. ‘im very certain. Why will I lie against Avery? She’s like my little sister.” Lucy nodded.” She is your little sister, Smith,” he corrected. Smith nodded. “Yes,” he admitted. “I’ve just not been able to catch her red handed these days but that will happen soon.” Lucy released a sigh. He felt really disappointed. He had not expected what Smith had been telling him until he met Grey and Avery at the hotel. So, if he was saying the same thing again, then he must be right.

“We will give Hercules whatever he wants. Avery will be in charge.” Smith opened his mouth to protest but Lucy cut in quickly. “I can’t afford to lose this contract.”

Grey got home earlier and realized that others weren’t at home. He was glad because of this.

He went for a quick shower, then made some pancakes for himself.

He then decided to see if Avery left the ring behind. He needed to compare it with his ring

He found the ring in the jewelry box. Grey took it and went into his car to get his ring.

Now comparing it, Grey saw the difference. Though, it was too little to be noticeable. Not everyone would see it anyways, except if the person was an expert when it comes to these famous rings.

Since Aphrodite told him that the ring sold at the auction was the original, then the ring Chris gave Avery would be an imitation. Grey laughed at this. He didn’t expect Chris to do something like that. He thought he was very rich but the recent revelation changed the idea. Grey’s phone rang suddenly. It was Seth. Grey ignored it. He wondered however if he should give his ring to Avery. If he does, Avery would be caught in between knowing which ring was fake and which one was not. Though, it would be quick to suspect it was Chris that gave her the original ring. Grey would be suspected as the one that made the imitation. The phone stopped ringing, only for it to start ringing again. Grey picked it up this time.

“Yes, how may I help you?” He acted ignorantly. “Please, Hercules,” Seth beseeched softly.” I can’t handle double of the price. Please, I have the initial amount with me,” he sounded very emotional and Grey had to pull the phone away from his ear and check if it was really Seth that was talking

He still hasn’t forgotten about the assault? Now, Seth was acting like an innocent man

“Well, that’s my final decision. If you aren’t going to pay in cash, then you can

hand over your company. I will buy your 10% share and I will pay for Chris’ share.

Now that Grey mentioned him, he realized he must have been the one that helped Seth with paying for his shares.

“Please, I will do anything aside from this. Please, don’t take the company from me.”

Grey smiled.” I won’t, I promise, if you can pay me in five days,” and he hung up before Seth would say more.

After Grey hung up, Seth threw his phone at the wall angrily. He had never felt so annoyed in his life.

He didn’t know why Hercules was suddenly treating him like trash but he couldn’t help but think perhaps he had offended him anywhere. It was very dangerous and Seth was aware of this. But he knew that he had to do something very fast. He couldn’t give his company to Hercules or that meant he would go bankrupt.

How would he handle himself in the city?

His phone rang suddenly, jerking him out of his thought. He looked down at the screen and saw it was Nora. He picked it up.

“Hello, Nora,” his voice was laced with sadness and despair. Nora noticed this.” Are you alright?” Seth tried to breathe normally even though it looked like he was on fire. “I’m fine. Yes, why did you call?”

The question sounded strange to her.” Have you forgotten we have a club to go to this evening?” Seth sighed noisily.” I just did. It slipped my mind.” “So, will you pick me up or should I come over?” She sounded excited. Seth didn’t even have the luxury of time to have fun. He needed to sort out the problem he has with Hercules.

“Let’s see later, Nora. I’ni so caught up in something very important. Let’s talk later.”

“With work?” She probed in.

“Yes,” Seth unconsciously ranked his finger through his hair.

Nora found it very weird. Seth had never ignored her in such a way. He was the owner of the company and he could do as he wanted. There were cases whereby he would set aside work to be with her. “Later, Nora,” and he hung up without even waiting for her reply.
