Chapter 48: The Estate

Grey sighed as he walked inside his office

Avery refused to listen to him and he doesn't even know what her decision would be.

If only she knew that he was Hercules and he was going to help her

A soft knock sounded on the door, jerking Grey out of his thoughts.

He looked up "Yes, come in

The door opened and Maria walked in " Here sir," she placed a big file on the table. 'I made an estimation of the amount we will be needing And I couldn't lessen it any further," she informed Grey took the file and perused it "Alright This is six million dollars?"

"Yes sir but I think we should opt for the loan options," she fidgeted" There's no way we can do this. And we can'afford to lose the job. This job will help this company financially We could get a loan and pay back after we've received payment from the company." she advised

Grey looked up at her. When would you like to leave to get the product? Will it be shipped in7"

Maria stared at Grey for a moment. But we are talking about the money"

"And I'm talking about getting the products Who is the boss here? You or me?" He questioned coldly

Maria kept mule A lot of things went through her mind. She thought Grey was a joke Well, she guessed it the moment he walked into the office that morning

Grey sighed and brought out his card. He placed it on the table "That's my card Remove the money and the shipping fees Though, I would like it 10 arrive as early as possible

Maria stared at the card for a moment" Wow, thank you so much, she appreciated as of Grey did her a favor She took the card and whirled to leave but stopped again "The interview is tomorrow. Will you handle it?

"No, you can do it Find the best, because that's what we need here," he ordered

Maria smiled "Yes, I understand," and she walked out of the office

Grey decided to get occupied with the rest of the files

The door opened again and Grey looked up Maria walked inside

"I've been knocking for a while

Grey sighed "I'm sorry I'm just so occupied with this. Is something wrong?

"You have a visitor,' she announced and stepped aside, allowing Grey to look up at the door. The door opened and Aphrodite walked inside She was donned in Nike's wear and with shady glasses which she look off after she stepped inside

"Good morning Grey," she greeted with a smile

Maria was shocked She wondered how someone like Aphrodite knew Grey Well, everyone was surprised the moment she stepped inside the lobby. She was a strict woman that didn't take no for an answer So Maria hurried to Grey's office before her

Grey's phone rang almost immediately and it was Alfred He looked up at Maria "You are dismissed," he said quickly and picked up his call

Hi Alfred," he said the moment Maria had closed the door behind her.

* Good morning Grey. How do you like your new job? Well, I would have called you yesterday because I got a call from Charles that he would be coming today, he explained "Yes, Aphrodite told me. And well, she is here now Though, I have no idea why she is,' he looked at Aphrodite and she blew him a kiss.

Grey smiled as well.

"Well, Charles is currently in one of your father's estales Aphrodite will pick you up. Then, we can finalize the passing of your father's properties to you," he revealed So, that was why Aphrodite showed up

"Alright, does Charles know about this?" Grey questioned

Aphrodite shook her head

"No, he doesn't even know that Hercules is back All the elders are meeting right now for this event'

"Damn Alfred, I'm at work," Grey whined

Aphrodite took the phone from him quickly, with a smile. "Don't worry, proceed I will be there with Grey* she informed and hung up

"Novia, you should have informed me that you were coming," he stressed tiredly

Aphrodite placed the phone on the table "You will follow me, Grey and get back your birth right That's what all this is about

Grey wanted to respond negatively but he remembered that Avery needed his help li was his fault that she lost her heir right and he was going to do anything to get it back

And the only way to do it was to secure the contract with her, instead of Smith

It was Friday and Smith would be meeting with representatives from Protos Pubblicita any time soon It would be best to seal everything that morning

Grey smiled. "Alright, let's proceed," he said with a smile

Aphrodite felt even happier,

Walking out of the company, Grey could hear the whispers and murmur about him and Aphrodite

"Where's my father's estate? And how long is the drive?" He inquired the moment he got inside the car

Aphrodite got in beside him. "Two hours drive We are taking the private jet," she explained

"Damn, that's long" He complained and relaxed back on the chair" is it that far?"

Aphrodite laughed and signaled for the chauffeur to move on. If we go by car, we will spend not less than four or five hours. And well, your father's Estate is one of the biggest in New York.* It seemed to Grey that there was a lot that he didn't know.

"Tell me, how many properties does my father own?

Aphrodite laughed "I sincerely don't know. But well, he had a yacht, a ship, a jet_"

"Whall All that?" Grey interrupted, he was more than surprised.

"Well." Aphrodite shrugged "That's why he's Hercules

They got into chatting about different things during the ride The Jet had a big inscription of Aphrodite on

It looked like she was almost as wealthy as Hercules.

They had to take another car ride the moment they stepped out of the jet.

They drove between a neatly arranged garden.

"Your father's Estate starts from here." Aphrodite pointed out and Grey's eyes almost went out in shock.

There was a wide garden both by their right and left that extended further. Grey couldn't really see where it ended

The space in the middle was the only clearing left for cars and there was no way someone would walk the path because it stretched even longer.

They drove for ten minutes and eventually pulled to a stop in front of a magnificent tall building. Actually, each building was attached together and made it look like a castle.

It was yet another surprise How much more did his father keep away from him?

They got down and Grey couldn't doubt that he was fascinated by the structure of the building,

The door opened suddenly and a tall but handsome man walked out Though, his face was in a dark frown. He moved closer to Aphrodite

"You are here as well, there was a smirk on his face. "I'm leaving!"

"Where, Charles? You have to give everything back to Grey, remember?" She stated.

So, it's now that I have to do that? Where was he all this while? I had to face death myself! I even had to pretend to be Hercules. Do you think it's funny!" He yelled.

* What do you want then?" Grey said suddenly, interrupting Aphrodite of the word she was about to say

Charles looked up at Grey, skeptically, "Who is he?" Grey smiled and took long strides closer. "I'm Grey Fox, I'm Hercules."
