Chapter 422: Respect
Grey smiled at Maximo.
"Your men are quite weak," he muttered.
"What the fuck!" Maximo gasped.
"Grey!"
Enzo and the rest concentrated on Maximo.
They were shocked that he even knew who the stranger was.
The receptionist was behind Maximo, with fear still in her eyes.
"You know who he is?"
Enzo inquired.
"Fuck! Enzo! This is the man you are supposed to see!"
He revealed.
Enzo was shocked, in fact, had never been so shocked in his entire life.
The man in front of him was Hercules.
Grey, on the other hand, was surprised as well.
He was supposed to meet with Maximo alone.
Maximo didn't even tell him about Enzo.
Maybe it was the decision he made later on. NôvelDrama.Org owns © this.
Well, he would still need to meet with every mafia lord in Italy if he would be staying in italy.
"I_," the secretary started but stopped almost immediately.
She swallowed harder and started again.
"But he's one of our newly employed security guards."
The word upset Maximo."Are you out of your mind? Are you trying to teach me what I know?"
Grey moved closer to Maximo.
"Your workers are very disrespectful.They wouldn't even call you to inform you that I'm here waiting for you," he explained.
"I'm really sorry.I clearly gave her the word that someone was coming for me.I'm very sorry.It won't happen again," he looked at his secretary.
"Ann, did or did I not tell you I was expecting someone?"
The secretary looked up at Maximo for a moment, then at Grey and back at Maximo.
"You did but I thought it was Mr.Enzo.Besides, the receptionist confirmed that he was Andy, the new security guard," she explained.
The receptionist stiffed, as fear overtook her.
Actually, she played a lot and didn't take Grey very seriously when he walked to her.She wasn't even supposed to interrupt people.Her mother has warned her severally against it.She knew it was going to cause her a lot of trouble someday and it has.
Maximo turned to the receptionist with rage almost overtaking him.
"Seriously?" The receptionist went on her knees again.
"I'm so sorry boss, I didn't know," she pleaded softly.
How was she supposed to know that the man could really be acquainted with Maximo? "Fine! You are fired! And you Ann," he looked at Ann.
"For not trying to contact me and see what is really happening, you will have two months' suspension with no salary." The receptionist started crying afresh.
Though, she was grateful that she didn't lose her life.
She could get a new job at any time.
Though, it was still going to affect her.
Ann on the other hand was filled with regret.
Enzo was looking at Grey with awe now.
No wonder his skills weren't to be compared.
Grey was really Hercules.
He was so bold too, just as he was supposed to be.
"Grey," he called softly and took a step forward.
"I'm sorry for the embarrassment.I apologize." Grey nodded once.
"Apology accepted."
"You heard me! Leave now!"
Maximo yelled at once.
The secretary and the receptionist rushed out of the lobby and everyone was back to doing what they were doing before Enzo came in.
Alfred and Gregory walked inside immediately.They hesitated at the scene.
"Is everything alright here?" Gregory asked.
"Everything is just fine," Maximo said with a smile.
"We will discuss the rest in my office.Let's go in."
He turned around and started towards the elevator, the rest followed.
"Who would have thought that Hercules would be in Italy? I found it hard to believe until now," Enzo started.
"His skills were neat! If he had been a little respectful, I would have thought of making him one of my security guards." Maximo laughed.
"Me too.His courage is out of this world."
Grey turned to Enzo.
"For stressing me, Enzo.You own me one."
Enzo laughed.
"Yes, I won't forget.I promise."
Gregory looked at Grey.
"Is everything alright?" He looked at Maximo.
"Where's Mattee."
"Mattee is in my house currently. I'm going to let him go like I've promised Grey yesterday."
Gregory looked at Grey with surprise on his features.He was surprised that Maximo and Grey settled it so fast.
When Alfred told him that, he didn't believe it initially.
He was pretty amazed now that he was here and has seen how close Grey and Maximo have become.
The door of the elevator opened, and the men walked out.
Maximo led them inside the luxurious office after apologizing to him for Enzo's behavior, yet again.
There were several men standing guard along the hallway.
The men bowed for them as they entered Maximo's office.
"What would you like me to get for you, guys?" Maximo inquired.
"Anything but we have to discuss the shares," Gregory said quickly.
"Calm down Gregory. The shares are safe. You don't have to worry about that."
He picked up the telephone and made a phone call. He dropped it after giving out some instructions before he turned towards Gregory again.
Gregory nodded.
"That means our work here is done."
"Not yet. Where are my men?" Alfred asked suddenly.
"Safe as well. I will ask one of my men to show you where they are and you can leave with them. This fight is done!"
Maximo revealed, with a smile.
Alfred nodded once and looked at Gregory.
"Everything came faster than we'd hoped." Maximo turned to Grey.
"There's someone else you need to meet. He's on his way already."
Grey nodded briefly.
The door opened and a woman walked inside with cups of coffee. She served them and walked out.
Alfre sipped the coffee slowly.
"We will take our leave then. We will show up again if we have anything for you."
Maximo nodded briefly and stood to shake hands with Alfred and Gregory.
"I will speak to one of men out there. He will show you where your men are. Grey turned to Maximo.
"I will still be around but I think I should have your contact." He took out his phone and extended it toward him.
"Sure!"
Maximo moved closer and took the phone. He inputted his phone numbers and extended the back to him.
Grey took it with a smile and turned to Alfred.
"Let's go."
They walked out of the office and Maximo turned to Enzo.
"What have I told you about this behavior? There will be a day you will mess with who you aren't supposed to mess with!"
Maximo muttered in anger.
"Do you even know how strong Hercules is? If anything happens to him, every mafia lord here will suffer the consequences. He has a lot of men and a lot of elders!"
Enzo let out an exasperated sigh.
"I didn't expect him to be dressed casually. So, it's partially not my fault but I'm grateful he has forgiven me already. As he said, I own him and I will try to do something helpful to him so that he won't ever forget about me."
"Good," Maximo released a sigh.
"Now tell me, how did you and Grey meet? Besides, I didn't know that Hercules was stronger than you. Though, I commend he fights so well." Maximo nodded once.
"He is…"
