This time, Jack was forced to admit defeat.
He could not help but admire Jay’s foresight and meticulousness when dealing with a problem.
Grayson smiled as he left.
As he watched Grayson's thin figure leave them, Jack burst forth and caught up with him. Grayson had just got into the lift when Jack slipped in with him.
"Does the old master have something to say to me?"
Jack hesitated before saying, “Grayson, I'm aware of your abilities. You should know that one should always go with the flow. Grand Asia is no longer as grand as it used to be. Now that Jay is paralyzed in both legs and you have lost the support of Ares Enterprises, Grand Asia won't be able to hold on for much longer. However, if you’re willing to join us at Ares Enterprises, I promise that I'll treat you well.”
Grayson smiled awkwardly. “Old Master, seeing how kindly you've treated me, consider it kindness when I remind you of the idiom, 'keep your friends close, but your enemies closer’. If you want to bring me away, you should have investigated as to why I decided to continue staying at Grand Asia."
The doors opened and Grayson strode off.
An inexplicable glow appeared in the depths of Jack's
eyes.
Grayson had not rejected him outright. Did that mean he still had a chance?
Jack retrieved his phone and immediately made a call to his secretary. "Get me a file with information about Grayson immediately.”
"Yes, Sir."
His secretary returned the call to him shortly.
"Mr. Director, I've got the file on Grayson."
Jack was surprised. He had thought it would be difficult to get information on the higher-ups in Grand Asia.
"Tell me."
"The file states that he's an orphan. When he was eight years old, he was adopted by the founder of Grand Asia and sent overseas. When he came back, he took the role of being Master Ares’ assistant."
The color of Jack's face turned green. Grayson had been toying with him.
