Hello there! I apologize for only updating this short chapter. I've been facing some issues at home, and I'm finding it hard to concentrate. However, I promise to make it up to all of you in a few hours. Thank you so much for reading! Sending hugs.
“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
“What’s happening?” Sherry asked, tugging at his shirt. He had no idea. They saw the live stream, and their boss asked them to be polite in case you wanted to buy this store too. Rumors are circulating that you bought the other store because Sherry wanted to shop there.Perseus grunted.[If you want, I can help you purchase this one too.][All you have to do is say the word.]He glared at her. “Do I want it when I have no desire to buy this store?”[Definitely not. I can’t feel any desire coming from you.]“Then, stop telling me that.”[I was only saying.] “Perseus, you are zoning out on me.” Sherry tugged on his shirt harder. He was forced to look at her, and she frowned at him. “I am listening.”“We have to pick a salesperson,” Sherry informed him as she gestured for the people that were lined up for them to pick. “Should I pick one, or will you?”“Pick.” He replied.Each of the people had a huge fixed smile on their face, and it felt creepy to Perseus. He waited until Sherry wa
Sherry stared at her phone, reading the comments that were pouring in. Her fans were talking about how expensive the watch was.“I will pre-order it then. I don’t think my fiancé would let me leave without buying something.” He said this before pulling out the gold card the system gave him. “Swipe it.”The man took it from Perseus and swiped the card. The payment was made, and he returned his card and returned it to Sherry.“Let’s go check out all the things you picked.” He mumbled.Due to the amount of stuff she bought, Rue took the carts to the counter as soon as they were full and came back with another one. “Okay.”*****Sherry kicked the tires of the car as she waited for him to be done with the payments for the things they had bought. While she was waiting, Rue walked out of the store holding a tray containing a glass of juice.Sherry had already stopped live streaming a while until they were going somewhere else. She was sighing when Rue approached her.“Since you are a VIP, t
