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

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.”
