Lexi nodded. “Deal. You better don't tell on me.” A smile stretched across Luke's face. “I won't.” Lexi glanced at the book and back at the environment. It was then that she noticed that they had gotten to a really large door. “Cold Case Room.” Lexi read the words written above the room. Although the words were peeling off, she had no difficulty reading them. “Is this the prohibited room we weren't allowed to go into?” Luke questioned. “Are we going to get electrocuted or something if we go next to the door?” His voice was laced with sarcasm.Lexi ignored him. He was scanning the door, but her gaze was focused on the lock. It was a keyhole; she had expected and pictured a padlock and wasn't expecting that. “Do you have the keys?” Lexi asked.“I thought you would have it,” Luke replied. “I wasn't able to get the keys.”Lexi pulled out a pin from her pocket. “I didn't plan on using the keys in the first place. I planned to break in, and that's exactly what I am going to do.” Luke
“Where are you heading?” Sherry asked as Perseus headed for his car after dropping them off. “The restaurant,” Perseus responded. “It's been a while since I went there.”Sherry glanced at Eris, who was standing at the entrance of the villa. “Didn't you say you wanted to go to the restaurant and do a part-time job?” “I can't. I have afternoon classes.” Eris replied. Perseus halted halfway towards his car. Iris had asked him to skip school with the girls. If Eris goes to school, that would make any other things he does a failure. Iris was not there to answer his question, and that made him confused.“Didn’t we say we were going to skip school today?” Sherry questioned. “Why are you heading for classes?” “What about we head to the restaurant together to have a meal?” Perseus suggested it as fast as he could. “We already had a meal.” Eris’s frown was even more pronounced. “Are you trying to make me skip school on purpose?” Perseus was quick to think of something else to say. “I am
“What are you doing?” Luke tried asking, but Lexi covered his lips with her palm. “Shh.” She whispered. “They are here.” Footsteps filled the room, along with voices. Luke shoved himself deeper behind the table, afraid they might see him, but Lexi was more concerned about them hearing his movements. She silently curses since she hasn't found Perseus' parent's files yet. She might not have the chance to find them at all. The legs of the men were crystal clear to them as they walked past the large table where Lexi and Luke were hiding. Lexi glanced at Luke, ready to help if he began panicking. Luke had already folded the files and shoved them into a bag that Lexi didn't know he was carrying. “I see nothing wrong with this door.” Mr. Kurt said as he stood in front of the door he had tried getting open. “Is it blocked?” Mr. Hope's eyes darted to the pin that was lying on the floor. He ignored it like it was nothing. “Quit staring at the door, Kurt. Let's get the files and leave.”
A skinny figure hurried over to a building, his body shivering as he ran. He was in a hurry to tell someone what had happened. He pulled the door open and dashed inside. There were several men in the building; their eyes followed him as he ran. “What are you looking at?” The skinny man yelled at them. The men looked away from him like they hadn't been staring. Even though the man was so skinny and weaker than all the men in the room, He was respected and feared. “We are sorry, Tom.” One of the men in the room apologized. The skinny man's name was Tom. He was weak, yet he had a position that was above the stronger men. For that reason, he didn't get along with the other men. He was weak and didn't want to give them the chance to take him for granted. Tom was often backlashed and backstabbed by everyone he knew. and was also bullied. If it wasn't for his boss, who picked him up when he had nothing, He wouldn't be respected like he is now. This wasn't any better than his pa
Perseus was greeted by the sight of Kara and Orion arguing with a lady who happened to be a customer as soon as he stepped foot into the restaurant. He ran his hand through his hair and walked over to them in fast strides.The restaurant was filled with tons of people who were eating quietly and ignoring the voices of Kara and Orion. Eris and Sherry were next to him, and when he dashed towards Kara and Orion, Eris headed for the kitchen.Sherry, on the other hand, followed Perseus.“Guys!” Perseus called out to them. “What’s happening?”Orion's head snapped in Perseus’s direction, and he had a surprised look on his face. “What are you doing here?”“It’s my restaurant; am I not allowed to be here?’’ Perseus asked.Hearing that Perseus was the CEO of the restaurant, the man they were arguing with turned his gaze to Perseus.“Since you are here, I want you to fire Kara.” The man stated it with a serious look on his face. “This isn’t a place for her to work.”Perseus couldn’t understand w
Iris scoffed. [As if!]You still have a lot to do. Do you have any idea how long the task might take? [It must have looked easy to you, but it isn't.][The system won't ask you to go there for no reason.] There would be something there that you would have to take care of.[You don't have an idea how long it might take.]Perseus peered at Iris. “Does that matter right now?” He asked. “Why don't we get done with the pasta and talk about this later? As far as I am concerned, there is more time to worry about that.” Iris sighed. [Okay, it has nothing to do with me anyway.][Let's make the pasta and get the three things done with.]Perseus nodded. “That's right.”Iris and Perseus began making the pasta. [RING! You have a new mission: find the mole in this place who wants the recipe for the pasta and get them arrested.][Reward: Three full stat points.][One item and 400 points.][Punishment: Make you dumb and disabled.][Duration: one hour.][You better be done with it as soon as possibl
Fiona's teeth gritted as she stared at Sherry. She glared at Sherry. “You can get me fired; you aren't the boss here!” Sherry wasn't backing down. “I can get you fired as long as this restaurant belongs to my fiance.” Danny held Fiona. “She was only stating facts. You shouldn't have hit her!” “Like she said, You both are fired,” Kara announced. “She is also the boss of this place if she is dating our boss.” Orion stared at Nathaniel, who acted like he couldn't hear anything that was happening. Of course, Nat was a little or no talker. “That’s impossible,” Fiona muttered before dashing into the kitchen. She shoved the door open and walked inside before anyone could stop her. Perseus had just finished making all the bowls of pasta that were needed and had stored them. He was just closing the refrigerator when she rushed over to him. “Sherry, do you need something?” Perseus asked, knowing fully well that it was only her that could come into the kitchen. Fiona pulled a knife out
Perseus lifted Sherry from the seat and hurried her into the hospital. All through the drive, Perseus was quiet and didn't say a word when she spoke. It was like he was mad at her, and that made her feel uneasy. “Perseus?” Sherry called. “Are you mad at me?” She asked as soon as he walked into the hospital.Perseus shook his head. “I'm not; I am only worried about you getting injured.“I am already injured.” Sherry smiled at him. “It was all my fault; if I hadn't hurried over to you, I wouldn't have gotten injured.”Perseus stared down at her. “It isn't your fault; it's all his fault. And stop talking.” He leaned in to kiss her. forehead. “Your injury must hurt, so don't talk much.” Sherry's face turned red, and he suddenly remembered what he had just done. His face flushed. “I don't know why I did that.” He muttered. Sherry was too stunned to speak. The air became awkward, and they said nothing to each other. Soon, Sherry left Perseus' arms and was left with the nurses and doct
