SECRETLY THE BILLIONAIRE BOSS BY DEBBIE CHOCOLATE - Season 3 Episode 61

“What!”

“You heard me right, Mr. Grey,” Tina laughed and stepped out of the elevator.

Grey regarded them for a moment before he walked out as well, and towards Jane’s office.

He knocked slightly and when there was no response, opened the door and walked inside. Jane was

sipping her coffee.

“What’s all these all about? Aren’t you supposed to be prepared? We have an appointment this

morning!” Grey has been pissed off already.

Jane smiled. “Easy! I will be ready soon. Do you have to shout?” She stood. “Have you heard about

the news? Turns out that Hercules was dead or do you also know about it?”

Grey sighed. “How can I? Am I at all familiar with him?”

“Well, you do receive orders from him, don’t you?”

“And you as well. The last time I checked, you were the only one that could communicate with

Hercules. So, I don’t know why the question was being directed at me.”

Jane regarded him for a moment before she burst into laughter. “Alright! You always find something to

say,” she stood and gathered some files on the table. Then, she looked up at Grey. “Should we leave

now?”

Grey didn’t talk and instead walked out of the office, towards his car.

Jane hurried after him and was able to enter the passenger’s seat before Grey could pull out into the street.

“Why are you here if you can’t even be cautious about your secretary on what she could say?”

“Well, Hercules didn’t communicate with me. So, how do I stop people from talking? There’s freedom of

speech, isn’t there?”

Grey released a sigh. “You are messing with trouble, Jane.”

“Are you trying to warn me by using Hercules? We all know he’s no more. I don’t even know who I take

orders from.”

“Well, Charles can still fire you from work,” Grey reminded her.

Jane laughed. “I was employed by Hercules. He is the only one that can sack me. Things don’t work as

you think.”

Grey decided to disregard her. It was just for a few days anyways. Everything would soon be back to

normal.

He pulled up in front of the Spinfluence company.

“Are you sure we are going to win this contract? You might want to communicate with Charles before

you do this,” she advised.

Grey ignored her, got down, picked up his suitcase, and went inside. Jane came up behind him after

some minutes.

“Good morning,” a man hurried closer to him as he stepped inside the lobby. “You must be Grey from

SU world.”

Grey nodded briefly. “I am. When will this start?”

“Soon. Please, follow me,” he said and started walking away.

Grey and Jan followed after. They entered the elevator and stopped on the second floor.

Chris and some men were sitting at one side of the meeting table. So, Grey and Jan walked to the

other side.

“You can have your seat. We will start soon,” the man revealed and walked away.

Grey and Jane moved to their seat.

“Do you think it’s right to be here like this?” Jane inquired.

Grey ignored her and stared at Chris from the other side who was watching him as if to make him

disappear. There was this thick expression on his face and Grey knew he was determined to win the

contract. But Grey was going to win at all costs and disgrace Chris.

A man walked to the host chair. “Good morning everyone,” a man said suddenly and everyone looked

up at him. “We will start the auction now. As I’ve told you previously, this contract is worth billions of

dollars but we are going to sell it for you in a small amount. That aside, we will introduce you to the

CEO of this company so that you can get more contracts in the future,” he revealed.

A man got up and distributed some copies to Chris and Jane.

“We will start with 5 million dollars. Is there anyone interested?”

Jane looked at Grey. “5 million dollars?”

“I will take it,” Chris said suddenly.

“We will pay 5.5 million dollars,” Grey said suddenly.

One of Chris’ men whispered into his ears and he looked up again. “6 million dollars then.”

“This is getting deep. I know Chris is bent on having this contract,” Jane whispered.

Grey ignored her remark. “7 million dollars!” He said suddenly.

Jane’s mouth dropped in shock. “What! That’s too much! Do you think Hercules is alive to sponsor

this?”

Grey looked at Jane. “Will you like to leave or will you keep shut?”

Jane let out a sigh and kept shut.

Chris was baffled. He heard the news about Hercules that morning. And even though he was the CEO

of SU, he thought he wouldn’t have the time to show up at Spinfluence. He heard that the original

owner of the contract was a very influential man. In fact, he owned several companies outside the city.

If he could click a contract with him, it would earn him a lot of money. It doesn’t really matter how much

he lost in the struggle, i

Chris opened his mouth to say something but his secretary cut him off.

“You can’t increase it more than this. It’s going to affect us,” she warned.

Chris shook his head. “We have to get this contract.”

“But you do know that Grey is hell-bent on getting it as well and if we spend all the money on getting

the contract, how are we supposed to execute it?”

Chris grunted and thought about it for a moment but the money blinded his eyes. “I will deal with it. 7.5

million dollars!”

Don’t do this, Grey. It’s dangerous. We don’t even have that amount of money in SU. How are we

supposed to fund this?”

Grey regarded Chris for a moment. “8 million dollars.”

The man hit the table. “And that’s it! SU world is getting this contract!” He announced. 4

Chris hit his forehead in pain.

“Don’t be sad. 8 million is too much for a contract. SU is going to be affected by it. They are going to

lose!”
