“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
“What?” Nathaniel gasped. Kara was not surprised. Lexi peered at Xell. “All of you have to be behind bars, but you are entitled to bail.” She rang the bell, and several cops walked in. “Take them to jail.” She ordered. Xell's phone was taken from him, and so were the others. Eris' frown deepened. “I did that for self-defense,” Eris muttered. “Now, you are putting me in jail because of that?! And then they are innocent! They only witnessed all that happened.” Lexi shook her head. “I know, but Fiona has to tell us what happened too. I'm sorry.” Lexi rubbed the bridge of her nose as she watched the officers take them away. She could do both things about it because there wasn't any evidence that showed that they were innocent. The only thing she had to do was question Fiona at the hospital. That was if she made it alive. Kara glanced at Lexi as she was led away. Lexi returned the gaze, and Kara grinned at her. Lexi gave Kara a questioning look, but Kara looked away. Kara knew tha
Lexi didn't hear a thing that he was saying. She continued to run, and Perseus ran after her. He fell into step with her, trying to get her attention, but she paid no attention to him. Until she got to the doctor, did she stop? She grabbed the doctor by his collar and slammed him against the wall. “A patient is dying!” Lexi roared. “You have to save her; her ward number is 3009!” Perseus was stunned by Lexi's behavior. The doctor tried to get away from her grip, but she pulled out her gun and aimed it at his belly. “This instant!” Lexi yelled. Perseus tried to grab her, but she elbowed him in the ribs. “You have to,” Lexi mumbled. “Okay, I will.” The doctor blurted out in panic. She was terrified that if he wasted any more time, she was going to shoot him. “Let's get going.” Lexi released the doctor, and he sprinted out of the room to the ward that Lexi wanted him to go to. Perseus stepped closer to Lexi, who was extremely pale. “What happened?” Perseus asked her. Lexi stare
