“Are you surprised?” Delinder asked. “I knew you wouldn’t come to see me if I invited you, so I did this. Are you impressed?”Perseus shook his head. “I am not.”“Huh? Why?” She looked disappointed that he said that.He ran his hand through his hair. He couldn’t believe that she was going to go all those lengths to see him.“What was I expecting anyway? You had made it clear that day that you didn’t want anything to do with me, but I am now your fiance. My father approved of our relationship and even made you my fiance. So you have to treat me like one.”Perseus' jaw dropped. “Hold your horses. I am already engaged to Sherry. There is no way that I am engaged to you. Besides, it was only a contract for us to pretend to date to stop your engagement with Van.”Delinder placed a finger on her chin. “But I don’t remember us signing any contracts. Do you have evidence to back up your claims?”It was then that he remembered that they didn’t sign any contracts.[That’s a huge mistake, host.]
It was after three classes that Perseus went to grab lunch. Since he hadn’t eaten since morning, he was starving. Although he could have just ordered or gone to a restaurant, he didn’t want to go through all the trouble. He also hadn’t seen Delinder since that incident, and he had no shared classes with Sherry either. “What’s your order?” the food vendor asked him. Then, he realized it was his turn to get his order. After telling her all he wanted, he carried his tray to a seat and sat. He was just about to shove a spoonful into his mouth when Zeppelin joined him. “Hey, Perseus.” Zeppelin was beaming with smiles as he spoke. “It’s been a while. Aren’t we brothers? Why are we staying away from each other?” Perseus paused. “I don’t know either," he said as he shoved the spoon into his mouth. “Well, tasty.” “I didn’t want to eat at the cafeteria, but I had no other choice because I wanted to speak to you.” Raising his head to look at Zeppelin, he asked. “What do you want to talk a
“Does it matter?” Perseus asked casually. “We recently just figured out that we are related, and I introduced you to the rest of the family. All you had to do was stay low with them, and I will deal with this. They know me, but they don’t know about you. Our parents separating us was a great idea. Now if I were to die, you would be safe.”The spoon in Zeppelin’s grip was already broken. “What are you talking about? We were friends before we did DNA! We should have gotten even closer, but you go ahead and do stuff without me.”“I had been doing it alone before you appeared, so I figured it would be better to do it alone. I didn’t tell you because I didn’t want to burden you, and I wanted to keep you safe.”Perseus studied Zeppelin’s expression. He hadn’t seen Zeppelin look like that before. He remembered that Iris had told him to tell Zeppelin and bring him along, but he had refused. Was this a punishment for his refusal?“You shouldn’t shoulder all the burden! You have done enough fo
“How long have you been able to see it?” Perseus asked.“It’s been a while, but I would say that I have been seeing it since we first met, but on the day we were in class together, I saw it properly.”Perseus sighed. “I was suspicious about you seeing it then,” Perseus replied, clasping his hands together. “Then, let’s forget about that. What is the thing you found out about our parents?”Zeppelin went quiet for a while. He stared at Perseus like he was joking about adding him to his investigation.“Before I talk about that, I would like to apologize for saying that you aren't doing anything to find our parents’s killers. And I take back my words that you are chasing after women.” Zeppelin apologized. “That was a terrible thing for me to say. I guess I was triggered by the news I saw this morning about you and that mayor’s daughter. I am sorry.”“It’s nothing,” Perseus replied. “It was all a mistake, I understand. So, let’s get into it. Lexi showed me something she got this morning. I
Mr. Kurt slammed his fist against the table as soon as Lexi left. He still couldn’t believe that he was wrong. He had never been wrong about such a thing, yet she just proved to him that he was wrong.He leaned back against the chair, rubbing his forehead in frustration. Mr. Hope was going to be angry with him if he was unable to bring the files. If Lexi didn’t take the files, does that mean that she didn’t search for them enough?He removed his hand from his face and stood up. Grabbing the keys from his table, he hurried out of his office, determined to find the files.As soon as he left his office, he was out of sight. Lexi walked out of her hiding spot, a few steps away from his office. She stared at the direction he ran off in. The first thing she did after that was to disconnect the camera in his office and walk into his office.She searched his table, the shelves, and everything else. After a few minutes of searching, she didn’t find anything that was related to Perseus’s parent
Perseus stood in front of the villa, glancing at his wristwatch. Time was running out, and she wasn’t there yet; she had only said that she only needed to pick an outfit. He couldn’t understand why it was taking so long.“Be patient.” Zeppelin appeared next to him. In such a situation, he was expecting Iris to pop out and talk to him, but after that incident at the cafeteria, She had avoided coming out when Zeppelin was there.She claimed that it made her uncomfortable to be seen by someone else who wasn’t her host, and she also told him that she was going to research to know why he could see her and figure out how to stop it.“She is going to be done for a while. Eris said you both should have gone to the gaming practice, but you are spending the time on a date,” Zeppelin added.Perseus shrugged. “We have tried going on dates a few times, but all that happens is her getting kidnapped, now that there isn’t any danger, I have to go on a date with her; after all, she is my fiance.”“Hmm
The car came to a halt in front of the shopping store. Sherry spoke to her fans as she reached out to open the door, but Perseus was already on the other side, opening the door for her. It had been a while since the both of them went shopping, and as a shopping freak, she had missed her terrible bad habit.She murmured thanks as Perseus took her hand and led her towards the store. Her livestream was still on, and she had the camera facing Perseus. She tried to hold in her giggles as she read what they were saying about it.‘Why is he so tall?’‘Look how serious he is about shopping. He is willing to spend a lot since he is taking the queen of shopping for shopping.’‘Does he have an idea that he started her livestream with shopping and tons of shopping?’‘Oh my god, this is going to be so fun.’‘Sherry, buy a lot of things that are worth more than $20 million.’‘It would be great to see his reaction, haha.’Sherry wanted to complain that the amount they called was too much, but she si
Karen was not hearing a thing; she couldn't believe that she could be fired just because of a word from him. “How are you so sure that he is the real boss? He could just be a con artist who acts that way because of his views. I have seen people like him!” Karen bellowed. “You must be making a mistake!”Perseus glared at Karen, and Mr. Goel was more concerned with keeping his job than listening to anything Karen was saying. “How dare you say that I made a mistake?” Goel yelled at her before Perseus got mad. “I was personally there when the previous boss sold his company!”Perseus had no idea how that happened. He didn't know how Iris was able to negotiate and buy the company without a real body.[Is that an insult, host?] Iris questioned. [Although I don't have a real body, there isn't anything stopping me from being able to negotiate and get you what you want.][I just have to know what you want and get it for you. It isn't that big of a deal.]Perseus stared at her. “I was just wo
