360 Chapter 360

The old secretary nodded obediently. She grabbed her iPad from the desk and then pointed at the documents she had just bought, sitting at the edge of the desk.

"Sir, those are the documents you want. The legal contract between you and your little brother," Maria returned to her regular professional secretary persona. "Sir, are you sure that you want to work more with him?"

"Huh? Why not?" Vincent frowned. "He is my little brother, and you know how much I care for him. Besides, don't you see how good he is at handling the project I gave him? He is a talented young man."

…

'I still think he is treacherous. He wants something more from the Gray family,' Maria wanted to say that. But she knew that he'd only argue with her and even call her nosy for pestering about his relationship with his little brother.

So she would rather not waste her energy, 'I'll keep an eye on that young man. I have to make sure the company is safe.'

"Then, I will leave now, Sir. Please excuse me," Maria bowed respectfully.

"Mm, don't forget to send me all the videos."

"Certainly, Sir."

Maria turned around and left Vincent's office. She opened the door and saw the maid who was guarding the door look pale.

'Amateur,' Maria scorned. She walked through the corridor with sure steps as if she hadn't just heard Vincent roaring inside the office.

'It's all part of the job,' Maria told herself. 'I am a professional, so I dedicate everything for the sake of the company.'

Maria left Vincent's mansion and drove her car through the city. Her mind was filled with worry and disappointment.

"I don't understand Vincent," Maria murmured while driving. "I thought I did a great job to stimulate him. But why didn't he want her now?"

"Now the company will suffer. Vincent is not doing as great of a job as he would usually do. He might not admit it, but his mind is constantly filled with that selfish bitch Chloe Gray.'

Maria constantly worried about the company's performance. Vincent was an amazing CEO. He indeed deserved his position.

But he was prone to messing up when his mind was in chaos. Maria learned this by watching Vaughn.

Men from the Gray family had weird fetishes of their own. Vaughn Gray liked exhibitionism. It was his way to de-stress.

But he only liked to do it in front of his kids. So his kids were forced to watch him have intercourse with his mistresses.

Maria was surprised at first but soon grew detached from it.

"I guess Vincent also inherited some of that habit."

Vincent also liked to have sex with a new woman every week. But his fetish was to be watched by his wife. He said that Chloe was overreacting most of the time, crying hysterically until she fainted. He found it funny and somewhat cute.

"Well, they're weird, but it's not my place to judge," Maria said. "I just want the company to perform well until I decide to resign. After all, I've dedicated my life to work there."

For Maria, her work was her identity, and she took great pride in it.

So she would do anything for the company to perform well, including pushing a woman to suffer under her boss' hand.

She felt bad for Chloe, well, just a little.

Maria knew Chloe was a free woman who could do anything, such as leaving Vincent. But Maria found her to be egoistic for not wanting to sacrifice herself for the greater good.

"But she's just one woman. What's one woman's worth compared to the whole company?" Maria tried to justify her action. "She is the scapegoat, but she also helps the maids not to get yelled at by Vincent. She also helps him perform better in the office. She is helping everyone just by becoming Vincent's wife."

"Now she wants to ditch everything and potentially ruin the whole company that has been built for almost a century. She doesn't care about the lives she would ruin because of Vincent's poor performance at work."

"If she's really like the good-natured woman like what people said. She should've thought about other people's wellbeing as well. What would happen if the company went on a tough spot because of her, and the company would be forced to lay off thousands of employees?"

"What would happen to their wellbeing? They also have families to take care of. What a selfish bitch."

Vincent finished reading the documents that Maria provided. It was mostly just the legal documents about his project with Vernon.

But he also stumbled upon one document that the old hag might have intentionally put there as a warning.

It was about Gregory Maxwell's company.

Ever since Vincent halved the supply in half, Gregory had been scrambling, desperately trying to cover up for the extreme losses because his company would go bankrupt in a year or so if he couldn't find another project to cover up the expenses.

It was a strategy that Vincent used so Gregory Maxwell and the other millionaires he targeted would fight and accuse each other. They were convinced that one of them was hiding Vincent's wife as a mistress.

'And that plan is working too. A few of them are accusing each other and ruining their own business relationships, because they are afraid that I might ruin their lives.'

They also started calling Vincent, thinking they could save their asses by spilling the company secret to him, so they would be spared by the ever-powerful Vincent Gray.

And the one who reaped the most profit was obviously Vincent right now.

But there was another man who unknowingly made a deal with Gregory Maxwell.

It wasn't a big problem for Vincent since Gregory Maxwell was only used as an example to scare the other millionaires around New York. So it didn't matter if Gregory Maxwell had successfully saved his company.

What concerned him wasn't about that old man but this young man who dared to work with Mr. Maxwell.

"What are you trying to do, Little bro?"
