CHAPTER 2 (1/2)

*RING*

"Grey, where the hell are you?!", Mr. Wingman shouted at his son on the other side of the phone moments after the call was answered.

"I'm at my house", Grey calmly replied. "I told you to come meet me at my office so that we could pay your mother a visit. The hell were you doing?"

"I was moving some stuffs in my studio. I just got home. Sorry if I wasn't able to visit my mom's grave. I've been busy.", "You better be sorry. Now, come to my office. I need you to take care of something.", his father then ended the call without letting him reply.

Grey put the phone down before heading to the shower to take a cold bath. After showering, he then put on his clothes.

He wore a nice black long sleeved shirt tucked in his dark gray jeans. And a pair of white Nike's. He tied his long black hair in a man bun while leaving some side hair aside. He looked stunning, and he knew that before smirking at himself at the mirror. After admiring his own beauty, he went to his father's company by driving his black Mercedes Benz.

He finally arrived at his father's company after a 30 minute drive. The building was full of busy employees walking in and out the building.

"Good afternoon, Mr. Grey. Mr. Wingman is waiting for you at his office.", said his father's secretary before leaving the building.

Once he got to the front of his father's office, he took a deep sigh before entering.

*DOOR OPENING*

"Hello, father. What is it that you need from me?", he stood in front of his father's desk stacked with paperwork.

"I'll be going on a business trip for about 5 months. I need you to be in charge here.", "Where will you be going?", "I'll be in California. Secretary. Daniel will be coming with me, along with some other employees."

Grey didn't reply immediately, he took time to process his father's orders since his father barely asked for his help.

"I- I'll try.", stuttering he said.

"You do not have to worry. Pierre will stay as your guide. He's one of the best employees this year. He knows alot about the business so I assure you that you can trust him.", his father said in a respectful tone.

Grey's father had alot of respect for his employees. He always make sure they were working fine. Which made the employees feel comfort around him. Despite the intimidating look, he never pushed the employees to do heavy work, and to top all that, his father's company is one of the most successful company in his country. With over 50 owned buildings all around the world.

"As long as you won't get the company in trouble, I have nothing to worry about.", his father said setting high expectations for his son.

*BANG*

Before anyone could say a word, a shooting of a gun was heard right outside the office. Just then, the door was slammed open by a 4 men wearing masks and each holding a shotgun.

"WHO THE FUCK ARE YOU? AND WHAT DO YOU WANT?", Grey pulled out the gun from his father's drawer, he knew his father had a gun there just in case for emergencies like this.

He pointed the gun at the guy in the center with a large bag hanging on his left shoulder.

"Drop your gun. And give us your fucking money.", the man in the center said while pointing his shotgun at Grey while the other two pointed their guns at Grey's father.

"AND WHY THE FUCK WOULD I DO THAT?", Grey yelled without letting go of the hard grip on his gun.

"HAHAHAHAHA, DAMN ASSHOLE. JUST DO IT IF YOU WANT THIS MOTHERFUCKING BUILDING TO AVOID EXPLODING.", in the most sarcastic way, the man in the center yelled at Grey.

He became speechless the moment he heard the word "exploding". Did they leave bombs all over the building? Does that bag on his left shoulder contain a bomb that's been ticking ever since he entered the office? All of those questions kept roaming in his head.

He had no plans. He was only battling the decisions in his mind. Should he shoot the guy at the center? Or should he just give up and give them the money in order to prevent the building from exploding? He didn't know what to to do.

It took him such a long time to think of a way out.

"Fucking jerk, just die already--", before the man at the center could lift back his gun, 7 armed cops entered the office with big guns with them.

All of the three men had no escape. Turns out, Grey took so long to think buying the cops some time to enter the building.

All three men were handcuffed immediately. Grey dropped to the floor still processing the situation. He was never brave when in comes to situations like this. He even admits that he's a coward.

"Grey, go back home. You need rest. I'll talk to the cops. We'll talk tomorrow.", his father still sitting on his chair unbothered like nothing has happened.

He nodded before leaving the building.
