Secretly The Billionaire Boss

Chapter 96

Chapter 96: Tricked by the Boss Grey looked back at Don and Richard. They were counting money from the bag of money that Grey had in the back seat.

It took a while before Grey could get Caramel to leave the car. And well, Don and Richard arrived at the right time. If they had arrived a few minutes earlier, they would have met Caramel and that would have spelled doom. Caramel that was always inquisitive might have realized what was happening at that moment. Don looked at Grey and nodded. Grey smiled and turned towards the phone again. “Someone is coming with the money, you are to give the documents to him.” “The documents were supposed to be with me,” Audrey interrupted quickly. “Plan changed. I have no time to waste and it won’t affect you anyways. So, is this a deal or not?” Grey inquired. Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

Meanwhile, Richard was supposed to be the one to deliver the money as Seth might have seen Don severally. Well, Don was very popular.

“I think Mr. Buyer is right. We should settle it once and for all,” Seth supported Grey unknowingly.

Audrey went silent for a moment. “Alright, let’s do that then.” he agreed, not that he had any choice anyways. “So, what room are you in?” “276,”Seth replied quickly. Grey held the speaker of the phone tightly with his hand, then he turned to look at Richard. “276.”

Richard nodded and proceeded towards the entrance. “I’m going to stay online until everything has been confirmed,” he announced as Don got into the passenger’s seat.

Audrey clenched his fists by his side. He was really annoyed but he couldn’t even show it. His plan was suddenly failing. He was supposed to keep the documents and set a trap for Hercules but that wouldn’t happen again. How the heck did Hercules get so brilliant?

Well, Audrey knew that he had to make some plans immediately or he might be Hercules’ puppet. And it would be a hindrance to his business. In fact, what he feared was someone bossing him around. The

best solution was for him to see Giovanni and think of a perfect plan to trap Hercules. With Hercules gone, his life would be back to normal.

Seth on the other hand, couldn’t stop fidgeting. He couldn’t keep calm until everything had been intact. He kept having doubting feelings that the whole plan might fall apart and Hercules might even be watching him.

In fact, he was thinking of hiring some thugs that night to keep him safe until the morning. He was very scared of Hercules but he couldn’t give him the right to the company. It was all he had left.

And without it, he would be nothing. But If he left the city, he would be able to work and come back later on to start a new business. It was the best choice.

A soft knock sounded on the door and jerked the two men out of their thoughts. Audrey looked at Seth. “It’s the buyer. Can I have the documents now?” Seth nodded briefly and brought out his suitcase. He retrieved a file and stretched it out. Audrey regarded it for another moment before he took it and walked to the door. Richard was by the door, waiting with a bag of money. Audrey opened the door and recognized him. His heart made a sudden thud at the realization that Hercules was around. It was actually surprising to him when Hercules proposed that he would get him the money that night and he wondered how he discovered where they were. Somehow, he pitied Seth. He didn’t know that Hercules was watching him all this while. He thought his quietness meant that he didn’t know what he was doing. Seth was so ruined.

“It’s the buyer?” Seth asked, excitedly as Audrey approached with the bag of money.

Audrey nodded briefly and stretched out the bag of money. “Yes, it’s him.”

A bright smile spread across Seth’s face as he took the bag and opened it quickly. He stared down at the dollar’s note and his smile widened. “So, Mr. Buyer. The deal have been balanced and for Mr.

Audrey, we will see soon, “Grey said and hung up. The statement felt like a death sentence to Audrey and it kind of reminded him to

be snappy with whatever he was planning. Seth smiled. He had no cause for alarm or fear again. Everything has gone accordingly. He stood up. “Mr. Audrey, it’s nice doing business with you.” Seth was too excited that he didn’t notice the worried look on Audrey’s face. “It’s not the end,” Audrey said suddenly, as Seth was about to open the door. Seth slowly turned to look at Audrey. “Excuse me, did you say something?” Audrey nodded slowly.” I have a message to deliver to you anonymously.” Seth smiled. “You mean the buyer? Sure,” and he walked back to Audrey.” Yes, I’m all ears. Fortunately, I still have a few minutes to spare.” He was so happy and there were evidence.

“He wanted me to tell you that the police would be knocking at your door tomorrow morning.”

Seth’s smile dissolved slowly and formed a frown.” What did you just say?” He couldn’t believe his ears. Was Audrey playing tricks with him? Audrey watched him for a moment. “The buyer, you were tricked and I was only threatened.”

Seth didn’t understand what was going on and it looked like Audrey was only talking gibberish. He was older but he didn’t expect that he would suddenly be suffering from dementia.

“I don’t understand you, Audrey. I’m done here and I will take my leave,” Seth said quickly. He turned to leave again. “Did you think you could trick him? Or you could get away with tricking Hercules?” Seth’s heart made a sudden thud at the revelation. He slowly turned to look at Audrey again with raised brows and troubled expression. “How the fuck did you know that it was Hercules?” Audrey shook his head in pity. “You thought you were smart but you are not. Deal with your problem, just know that Hercules is a step ahead of you,” he opined and started towards the door. Seth dropped the bag and rushed to grab Audrey by the collar. “Are you kidding me? Did you lure Hercules here? Did you tell him about me? I’m

going to kill you for this!” He yelled angrily. Audrey smiled.” You can’t kill me, Seth. You know that you aren’t a match for me. I will kill you long enough before Hercules even kills you. If you know what’s

best for you, leave earlier before the police would start looking for you. Hercules is ready to destroy you,” he explained.

Seth’s fist hardened, and his blood boiled. “Why didn’t you tell me, Audrey? I sold the company to Hercules! I sold myself into his hands,” his frustration rang in his voice.

Audrey sighed.” Perhaps you should be glad that he gave you the money. Who knows, he might still try something tricky.” “What do you mean?” He probed, but in the silent treatment that he got, awareness slipped into him. He let go of Audrey and rushed to the bag. He picked it up, then unzipped it again. There were dollars alright. He flipped th bag over so that the content would drop on the floor.

His eyes widened as realization dawned on him.

Hercules had tricked him. He realized that not all the notes were dollar notes.
