Chapter 144: Unbelievable Maria didn’t even want to believe it. Or maybe she was wrong but the facts

were staring right at her.

If Grey was really Hercules, it was the only way to explain the sudden promotion that she got.

But she didn’t want to accept it until she had the fact staring right at her in the face. Or she had Grey

accept the claim.

Jane was saying something but Maria wasn’t listening. She opened the door immediately and got out.

She hurried back to the company.

She got the direction of Grey’s office from Carol. The company was a spacious one and one could get

lost in it.

Eventually, Maria arrived in front of Grey’s office. She let out a deep sigh and tried to stabilize her

breathing.

No way, she was feeling very excited. What if she was right? She didn’t even want to imagine what that

would mean for her.

She knocked on the door slightly. “Mr. Grey, it’s Maria.”

“Yes, come in,” came the deep voice. Maria took another breath. The question that was going to reveal

Grey’s identity was simple. She was going to ask Grey what his last name was. If he denies being Grey

Fox, then she would be sure that he was really Hercules.

Though Grey used Fennel at work there was a day that Caramel came looking for him and had to say

his name in full.

And Maria didn’t even tender it in front of him because she saw that there was no reason to. She

believed it could be his third name or something. “So, what if Grey doesn’t deny it? Maria would have to

go with plan B. Maria opened the door and walked in, a smile on her face. Grey looked up at her, with a

confused expression. “Is there something you want? “He had different files in front of him and it looked

like he was reading through

them.

Maria shook her head. “Nothing that disturbing. I just needed to ask for your name in full.”

Grey raised skeptical brows at her. “My name?”

Maria sent him a warm smile. “Yes. We need to make a tag. So, we need your names to do that.”

“Oh,” Grey nodded briefly.” But I don’t need it.”

“Well, I insist. We don’t want the situation whereby we wouldn’t be able to know it’s your office when we

enter,” she persisted.

Grey released an exasperated sigh. “I’m Grey Fennel.” . Maria was still watching him. “What about

Fox?” “I don’t bear Fox,” he said casually and Maria almost believed him. Her heart raced at the

meaning of what he just did. He just denied it because he didn’t want anyone to link the names

together.

“There was a day that Miss Caramel came to see you. Something happened that day but I didn’t

divulge the details,” she started.” Would you like to know about it now?”

Grey sat up.” Yes, what is it about?”

Maria nodded once. “I got to find out that you are acting Grey Fox and not Grey Funnel that we were

used to. Is that right?”

Grey’s eyes went wide with shock but it only lasted for a few seconds. He was so good at masking his

feelings but Maria was also great at it.

“Wait, is this supposed to be an interrogation?” He muttered.

Maria shook her head slightly.” No boss, I just wanted to recognize you desperately.” Grey blinked

once.” What are you saying?”

Maria watched him for a moment. “I know that you are Hercules, Grey Fox.” Grey laughed. ” Are you

kidding? Why would you think a loser like me would be something so big?” ” Then you wouldn’t have

denied being Fox in the first place. That aside, you would have vividly told Jave you were Grey Fox,”

she explained.” But you wouldn’t have done that because only Jane knows your real name. You were

scared of revealing that part to Jane. That was why you came with Fennel,” she pointed out.

Grey was amused but he still didn’t want her to know. “I choose to bear whatever names I want.”

Maria raised a finger to her chin as if she was thinking hard about something.”

The membership card held Grey Fox as well, which showed that Fox is like your general name. There’s

no way you wouldn’t attach it to your resume unless there are other reasons,” she declared.

Grey wasn’t surprised, he was just caught off guard. He knew that Maria was very intelligent but he

didn’t expect her to find out so early.

Grey cleared his throat and gave her a dark frown. “When have you known?” Maria’s eyes went wide

and dark with shock. “Y_you are really Hercules?” She stuttered.

Grey regarded her for another moment before he finally nodded briefly. He stood up quickly and moved

to the door. He opened the door and saw that the coast was clear. He closed the door and switched the

lock so that no one would be able to enter.

He turned to look at Maria. “Were you spying on me?” Maria fell to her knees immediately. “I will never

do that. I was just surprised with the sudden promotion and well, curiosity got the best of me,” she

explained in a fear-filled voice.

Grey walked to her and crouched in front of her. “I don’t tolerate betrayers, Maria. If you betray me, you

will die,” he warned in a deep voice. Maria didn’t dare look at him. “I will never do that, I promise.

Meanwhile, I want you to allow me to serve you and I will do anything you want me to,” she expressed

truthfully.

Grey smiled and pulled her up slowly.” I will take your word for it. And for the promotion, you deserve

it,” he let her go and walked back to his seat. “Thank you, boss,” Maria smiled. She felt very happy. Her

guess was right and she was on good terms with Hercules. “But why? Why are you in cover? Jane

would never behave like that if she knew who you really were,” Maria asked, disturbed. Grey looked up

at her for a moment. “I have a reason and until then, I will still be like this.

Maria still couldn’t believe it. She couldn’t believe that Grey was the rich Hercules that everyone talked

about and to top it up, he was the one in front of her. With Grey, Maria was sure that life would be very

easy for her. The only thing she needed to do was be loyal to him.
