Secretly The Billionaire Boss by Debbie chocolate
Chapter 79

Chapter 79: Spy of Hercules Avery's last words kept ringing in Grey's ears. Well, he was also tired of hiding but there was nothing he could do at that time. He still needed to stay hidden, he needed to pretend for his wife and others. He had to trust Alfred and the rest of the elders, except for Charles anyways. Grey kept thinking Charles might know something about his father's death. Though he hadn't confirmed it he hoped to do so soon. So, there was no way he could stop being the live-in son-in-law. It was what he needed at that moment. A soft knock sounded on the door again and Maria walked in.

"Here, it's the copy of the signed contract," she stretched out a file that Grey took.

He flipped through the pages while perusing them. "A half payment has been made? The WW Products?" He raised questioning brows.

Maria nodded briefly." Yes, we are supposed to deliver the full products on Monday, which are already available. However, we got the message that they would be needing an extra package," she explained. "That's not in the agreement," he observed. Maria nodded once and realized that Grey wasn't looking at her. "Yes, we just received the message. So, there was no time to prepare the contract. Though, they assured me that we will get our money immediately," she announced. Grey nodded, "You can proceed then," he gently placed the file on his table. "We will see on Monday then," he regarded Maria for a moment and noticed her hesitation. "Is there anything you want?"

Maria smiled. "Nothing. Goodnight boss," she announced and walked out of the office.

Grey took his briefcase and phone. He hesitated at the door and contemplated getting dinner before going home. He fought with Avery and Emma that morning, they might have denied him dinner. He stopped by Alfred's restaurant, he still had the special card with him but he paid for the food.

Just as he got inside the car, he noticed the black car behind him. Actually, he had observed the same car driving slowly behind him on his way to the restaurant.

He shrugged it off and pulled out into the street. It didn't take long before the car moved out as well.

At first, Grey couldn't see it because there was a car driving closely behind him but the moment the car overtook him, the same black car again.

The first thing his mind went to was Seth. He was the one that had sent some assaulters to him. Though, he doubted it. Seth would be so restless about his company that he wouldn't have the time to chase Grey.

Grey kept driving while noticing that the car would make a move whenever he took a turn.

He pulled to a stop suddenly and got down. He was going to see whoever was tailing him and perhaps beat the hell out of them. The car pulled to a stop right behind Grey's Rolls Royce. The door opened and Richard hurried out of the driver's seat. Grey had his fist clenched as he advanced towards the car but pulled to a sudden stop when he saw Richard.

The passenger seat opened and Don walked out, dressed in casualty. They both hesitated for a moment before they hurried closer.

"Boss," They chorused and took a bow. Grey regarded them for a moment and slowly released a sigh. "Why are you stalking me?" "We_we wanted to speak with you," Don stuttered, with his head still bowed. Grey turned around quickly. "Alfred told you what you needed to know," he started towards his car.

Don and Richard exchanged glances as if communicating silently before they rushed towards Grey. "Boss, we really need to speak with you," Richard said quickly, coming up from Grey's right side. Don nodded quickly like a toddler asked if he loved candies. "I seriously need to apologize for my rude behavior. You said you were going to get back to me but I couldn't wait. Please, hear us out," he pleaded earnestly. Grey pulled to a stop suddenly and they did as well. He stared into space for some minutes and slowly released a sigh. "Ok, get inside my car," and he walked towards the car. Don looked at Richard and smiled. He was so glad that Hercules allowed him. It was considered a great opportunity if Hercules granted someone to have an audience with him.

They hurried to the front of the car. Grey got inside, through the back seat while Don took the passenger seat, and Richard took the driver's seat.

"Alfred told me he had explained some things to you," Grey stated. "I don't need to explain more."

Don nodded." When are you going to reveal your identity?"

Grey regarded him for a moment." There's a spy among you and not until we fish him out, I will remain like this. It will be best if you keep your mouth sealed as well."

Don nodded quickly. "I understand. We promise to keep this a secret," he took a deep breath." I want to use this opportunity to beg for your forgiveness. I wouldn't have done that nonsense if I knew it was you,' he apologized.

"Yes," Richard chimed in quickly. "We want you to forgive us. We will do anything you want and we will serve you with all our hearts," he proclaimed. "Ok, you are forgiven but that doesn't mean you won't get punished. Maybe I will get back to you after I think of something," Grey informed. It pleased Don and his smile widened. "Thank you so much!"

Grey nodded. "Can I leave now?" he asked tiredly.

Don laughed. The boss was acting so kind to him and it was giving him joy. "There's one more thing," Don pointed out suddenly." It's not good that you are alone. We can protect you. You don't necessarily need to have us by your side, we could stay far away and monitor you," he suggested. "I don't need that. I'm alright and I can protect myself."

"Yes, but it doesn't matter. It's our job to protect the Hercules," Don said adamantly.

"If we can't do that. Then, sent us on an errand. You need to use us," Richard pointed out. Grey thought for a moment. He knew he had to get Don off his back or they would actually be tailing him secretly. He remembered something all of a sudden and smiled.

"Why don't you tail Seth instead? I have a score to settle with him.”

"Did the bastard try nonsense with you?" Don asked angrily.

Grey smiled." He did but I have a way to treat it. So, for now, I want you to spy on him and communicate with me about his every movement."
