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
He followed all the instructions that were given by the system, and in a few minutes, he was done. At the same time, Timtat was pulling up in front of the hospital. Although Iris had told him Sherry was going to be awake in three hours, He still wanted to let her stay at the hospital; it was going to be better for her. After dropping her off for the doctors to attend to her, he waited in the waiting room for the test to be done.Timtat was standing at the end of the room. His head lowered, waiting for Perseus to scold him, but Perseus paid no attention.The poison was a harmful one. She was poisoned with Vaintart. [It is usually mixed with something liquid to function well.]I am currently hacking into the surveillance footage in front of the store. [Wait a little bit.]Perseus waited patiently until Iris was done. The panel appeared in front of him with a video of what happened. His fist tightened when he watched what happened; no wonder she looked so familiar to him.She had been t
As the syringe was aimed at him, he glanced back over his shoulder and dodged her attack. The syringe almost touched his face. He jumped back, narrowly avoiding it.Rue was not ready to give up. She lunged at him again, and this time he kicked her in the belly, sending her staggering backward. First, he had to make sure Sherry was safe.“How could you do this to me? All I did was love you.” She claimed, her voice shaking as she spoke.Perseus's gaze shifted to the door. He had to leave, but he knew she was going to do something stupid if he did, and since she was still with the poison, He had to stop her from using it, including stopping her from doing it on herself, which he doubted she was going to do.[Sherry is going to be safe.][As long as the medication is within her, none of those poisons would work.]He sighed in relief upon hearing that. The poison wasn’t going to harm her even if she was injected with another, but he wasn’t going to let her get injected.“Rue, calm down,” P
“Here you are. For a second, I thought you weren’t going to come.” Zeppelin said as soon as Perseus walked into the restaurant.Wearing a cross bag, Perseus looked exhausted as he approached them, and they noticed it. He had booked a reservation, and now they had a private place to talk and eat.Since it was night, the light in the room was bright. Their table was next to the large glass that overlooked the city.He walked towards them and took his seat, which was in between them. “Why were you late?” Lexi asked. Perseus glanced at his wristwatch; he didn’t realize he was late until he found Lexi and Zeppelin at the table. He was twenty minutes late."Sorry, I am late.” He apologized, choosing to ignore Lexi’s question.“Did you run into an old friend?” Zeppelin questioned.Seeing that both curious eyes were piercing through him, he knew he couldn’t keep quiet about it anymore.“Far from it. Sherry won’t let me leave after she wakes up. She wanted to know what happened and how I sav
