Maria sensed the stiffness in the air when she entered the company.
The workers all dispersed but it actually looked like they were murmuring about something in secret.
Maria ignored them and walked into the restroom.
A few minutes later, she heard several footsteps moving closer.
They seemed to have stopped in front of the mirror fastened to the wall.
“What was that all about?” A feminine voice said suddenly.
“Sincerely? I have no idea.I mean how could that have happened?”
A different voice seemed to lament.
“I can’t believe it actually,” there was a hesitation.
“Do you think I’ve met him as well? And perhaps I’ve spoken badly to him.”
“Yes, perhaps you are going to lose your job soon.You did know that you have a loose mouth.”
“Oh my!”
There was a soft exclamation.
“But come to think of it, we should be able to discover who the person really is.I mean the news did say it was Grey
Fox.We just needed to find the Grey Fox that works in this company.It shouldn’t be that hard,” the voice explained.
“I’ve thought about that too but there’s no way we can be sure.I mean are we supposed to focus on those in high
positions or the regular workers like us?”
A sigh.
“I don’t know.But I do remember we have a supervisor by the name of Grey but I’m yet to find out what his
surname is.”A hesitation and the girls burst out into laughter.
“Impossible! I just so much doubt it.There’s no way why that Grey would be Hercules.”
Maria almost stopped breathing.
“I mean,” the same voice continued.

supervisor.There’s no way he would be the CEO.”
There was a long sigh.
“I sincerely hope that isn’t it or damn! Im Losing my job soon! I made fun of him several times.”
There was a few minutes of silence and the group burst into laughter.Soon, Maria could hear their receding
footsteps.She released a sigh before she hurried out of the bathroom and headed towards her office.
“See me in the office, Violet,” she muttered and walked right into her office.
Violet followed her quickly.
“What’s going on? I heard the workers talking about Grey. Any news?”
Violet went quiet for a moment as if thinking about what to say.
“An hour after we published, we saw a similar post online and it’s currently getting more attention than ours.”
Maria creased her brows.
“What sort of news is that?”
Actually, Grey called Maria last night and informed her of what she was supposed to do.
Maria was supposed to publish a news article about the real name of Hercules.So, she did it immediately with the
help of Violet.
“The news stated the real name of Hercules and the fact that he works undercover in his company, Protos
Pubblicita.” Maria gasped softly.
“Seriously?”
Violet shook her head briefly.
“But could I ask a question?”
She waited for a response and when she didn’t get it, she continued.
“Is the supervisor really Hercules?”
Maria’s eyes thinned on her.
“What?”
“The more I think about it, I realize he’s the only Grey Fox in this company.Besides, you have always treated him
with this respect. Could the news be true?”
Maria hesitated for a few minutes.
“What were you expecting me to say? Admit it?”
“I was just curious.It’s the same feeling the others are having.The only difference is that they don’t know Grey’s last
name is Fox.”
“Don’t you dare say this anywhere! You don’t know what you are talking about!”
Maria yelled at her.
Violet smiled and bowed slightly.
“I will leave then,” she muttered and stepped out without another word.He hesitated in front of the door.
She was right after all.
Grey Fox was Hercules.
The thing here was that she didn’t even know if she was going to lose her job or not.
Even though she was forced to work for Grey and respect him, she had always shown her disagreement towards
him.
But well, if Grey wanted to fire her, he would have done so all this while.
But she could try to seduce him.
Perhaps she would be the main mistress of the popular Hercules and the king of the world.
Maria placed a call to Grey immediately.It rang twice before Grey picked it up.
“Hello, Maria.Good morning.”
“Good morning boss, I’ve just received some news this morning.I don’t know if you’ve heard about it.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“And what is it all about?”
“There’s a new ongoing story about your real name and the fact that you work in Protos Pubblicita.And everyone is
talking about it.”
“Giovanni, it was definitely him,” Grey muttered.
Maria released a sigh.
“What should we do about it? Will you still be coming to work?”
“Not yet, Maria, not now,” he released a sigh.
“I will inform you later about it.”
“Alright boss, also I want to tell you about Violet_,” she was forced to a sudden stop when she realised that Grey
had hung up.
Maria released a sigh.She didn’t know what was happening but it looked like something was wrong with Hercules.
“Boss!”
One of Grey’s men walked inside the Vip room.
Grey looked up at him.
“Is something wrong?” The man glanced at Avery that was laying unconsciously on the other bed.
“Avery’s parents are on their way here.It turned out that a nurse here is a close friend of her mother.So, she
informed her,” he explained.
“What!”
“In fact, they are in the hospital as we speak.”
Grey definitely didn’t want to see them.
Avery didn’t want to as well.Her mother was left in pain when she left Jacksonville because she was the only child
they had.
And Grey didn’t know what they were going to do that moment if they saw them together.
