Perseus turned his head to look at her. It was Sherry; why did she slap him?“How could you say that to the killer?! You made me think that you were going to abandon me, and then you almost had yourself killed because of me!” Sherry bellowed.“I was so scared up there; I was so scared!” Her body trembled.Perseus' gaze fell. “I'm sorry, Sherry; it was all my fault.”“I thought you chose your recipe instead of mine, and I figured that I haven't been helpful to you at all.” She broke into sobs.“What are you talking about?” Perseus asked, his brows furrowed in confusion.She raised her head to look at him. “People keep useful people, don't they? If you are no longer useful, they will let you go like trash that is no longer needed.”“What?” Perseus blinked, utterly confused.“My grandpa stopped taking care of me because I am not supportive of the family. He stopped liking me and also cut off my allowance; he made sure that I was only used when he wanted to help Eris.” Her sob hardened. “

[I understand that you wanted to save her because it was your fault!][They don't mean that you would give up your life to save her.] [Did you think that even if you saved her, the killer wouldn't come after her?!][Also, I have to punish you.]Perseus backed away. “For what?” He could accept the scolding, but he didn't want the punishment.[For giving up your life, I just came, and you are already thinking about dying!]“I wasn't, I swear."[How did you expect me to believe that?!][You also made me lose a lot of energy, and now I have to regain energy!]Perseus opened his lips to speak, but the electric current hit him. This time, it was harder than it had been at the station. By that time she let go of him, Perseus's eyes were blurry, and he was finding it difficult to stand.[This would teach you not to give up your life next time. Hmph!]It took several minutes for Perseus to regain his senses; by then, Iris was already sitting on his head with a glass of cappuccino.[How do you

Perseus was already dressed when he walked down the stairs. His hands were tugged in his pants pocket as he made his way to the dining area.Sherry and Eris were already seated, his eyes drinking at the sight of all the food on the table.“Good morning.” The girls greeted him at the same time.Perseus smiled at them. “Good morning.”“Do you have an idea where Nathaniel works?” He asked as soon as he sat down.“I thought you already hired him,” Eris muttered. “I mean, you spoke to him yesterday, didn't you?”“I thought the same too," Sherry claimed.Perseus stared at the bandage that was on her wrists. “Does it still hurt?” He questioned.“What?” She peered at him.“Your injury.” He replied, averting his gaze.She looked stunned before a smile spread across her face. “I feel better; it doesn't hurt that much.”“So about Nat.” Eris chimed in as she dug into the plate of steaks in front of her. “I have an idea that he works for a famous restaurant, from what I have heard from my grandfat

Nathaniel stared at him blankly. “What?”Perseus raised a brow. “What does it look like? I'm here to offer you a huge deal.”“And that is?” Nathaniel was curious.“I want you to work for me, for the Perseus Empire.”Nathaniel's eyes widened in surprise, and Perseus frowned. That was not the reaction he had been expecting. He anticipated Nathaniel to be outraged, not stunned.He expected Nathaniel to scream at him for attempting to poach him from such a large restaurant to a smaller one.Mr. Ronald's face was twisted with anger. “How dare you! How dare you come here to steal my employee?!”Perseus glanced at Mr. Ronald. “Well, you old geezer, shut up first and let me speak.”That only fueled Mr. Ronald's anger. “How dare you! You're just a beginner in this business, and you want to overthrow your superiors!”Perseus' eyes darkened before he squinted. “Do you regard yourself as my superior? You old, round, fat, worthless old man.”Mr. Ronald gritted his teeth. “How dare you call me that

Perseus glanced back at Nathaniel. If Nathaniel could leave now, the chances of him getting Nathaniel to work for him were going to be low.[That's right! A 100%]“Where do you think you are going?” Roman asked. “Since you are a friend of his, you are already involved.”“I am not a friend of his, and I have no issues with you. If you wouldn't mind, I am going to take my leave.”Perseus stared at the panel; there were only three minutes left. He thought about what to do for a while before coming up with a conclusion.He couldn't let Nathaniel leave.“How much do you weigh?” Perseus demanded.“What?” Nat was taken aback by the question. “Just answer me!”“I don't know how much I weigh.”Before anyone could blink, Perseus scooped Nat like a sack of potatoes and threw him over his shoulder. Nat's face reddened in embarrassment as he tried to let Perseus release him.However, with his cheetah's speed, Perseus made a run for it. His speed surprised Roman and his men.“Get him!” Roman yelle
