The awkwardness was back as they sat on the dining table. Perseus' jaw dropped in astonishment when he saw the food that was prepared on the table.The dining table was filled with a lot of dishes, so much so that Perseus wanted to taste the food. He was already full since he ate out with the boys.“Sherry, I didn't know you could cook.” Perseus muttered. “Why did you burn all of the food in the morning?”He glanced at Sherry, whose head was hanging low. Noticing that there was something wrong with her, he called her out.“Sherry?”“I was the one who cooked.” Eris blurted out. “Sherry can't cook; she can't do anything by herself.”“And can you?” Sherry snapped at Eris. “You only do everything because of grandpa's help.”Eris didn't look concerned that Sherry said that. “You can think whatever you want.”Perseus stared at Eris. “I already helped you with your game. Tell me why you are really here.”Eris brought a mug to her lips. “I need a job as a maid. Uncle Quinn said you were hirin
Perseus was nervous by the minutes that passed; he couldn't tell if the pasta was okay because he hadn't tasted it himself.[You are evil; you let them taste it before you do.]Perseus gave the system a suspicious look. “Did you do something to the pasta?”[How many times have I told you not to doubt me?!]The electric current hit him again; it stayed for a couple of seconds before stopping.[There would be punishment later if you kept on doubting me.]Perseus glanced at the system that way, glaring at him. “I won't doubt you next time.”[Good.]“It tastes perfect!” Sherry squealed, her eyes glued to the plate of pasta. “I haven't tasted anything as perfect as it is.”Sherry continued eating, rushing the food like it was going to be stolen from her. Eris, on the other hand, rolled her eyes.“Stop acting; it is just ordinary pasta.” Eris stated this as she rolled the pasta on the fork. “Let's see what this even tastes like.”Perseus stared at Eris with keen attention as she ate the pas
“Welcome to Darius Limited.” The staff greeted them as they stepped into the company.Perseus glanced around the place. Darius did a lot of work getting their company that fancy. He noticed that the materials used for the building were too notched.[Darius was invented fifty years ago; the materials used for the building cost thousands to millions of dollars.][The owner of Darius is wealthy and swims in wealth.]He is definitely not an easy man to deal with, but don't get intimidated. You guys are at the same level, although your identity as the largest shareholder of J.K. Entertainment is much higher and you're wealthier than him.“Geez! Thanks for telling me."He turned his gaze back to look at Eris and Sherry; they were walking behind him. Their gaze was focused on the interior of the building.“Hello sir.” One of the staff members greeted him. “I'm Kara; would you let me show you the buildings that we have for sale?”Perseus glanced at her. “I would love that.”“Come with me.” Ka
Perseus paused before throwing up his hands in defeat. “Okay, I lose, you win.”Roman grinned. “I knew you couldn't beat me at that; you were just buffing when you increased the price.”Perseus' lips curled into a satisfied smile. “You are an idiot, aren't you?” Perseus peered at him. “Why would I pay that amount of money for a ten million dollar building?”Roman grinned. “I knew it! I knew that you were just buffing.” It suddenly hit him. “What? I was tricked! You didn't plan to buy the building, did you?”Perseus grinned back. “I didn't.”Roman's face turned red in anger as he stared at Perseus. Eris and Sherry stared at Perseus with admiration in their eyes.“That was awesome.” Sherry said. “I thought that you were about to throw so much money away.”“I didn't expect that you tricked him.” Eris beamed.Perseus opened his lips to speak, but the commotion from the couples stopped him.“What do you think that you were doing? Wasting money like that?” Celia demanded, scowling at Roman.
The force of the kick sent Roman flying backwards. Perseus' jaw dropped when Roman came into contact with the wall on the other side of the room.The ladies eyes were bulging out in surprise, but Celia was the more surprised one. She has no idea that Perseus was that powerful.Perseus, on the other hand, was stunned that he was able to do that. The system hadn't told him anything about his combat skills.[You got the skills on the day that you completed your mission.]“Why didn't you tell me?” Perseus snarled at the system. “If you did, I would have loved to keep a low profile!”[I did tell you!]“When?!”We were in the car, but we got interrupted by Eris. [You could have known it if you checked!][Of all people, my host turned out to be a lazy ass!]“I'm not lazy!”[Says someone who didn't even know that he had unlocked a new skill.]“I guess that you might have notified me.” He sighed. “However, I don't think that it's possible; let me see what type of skill I was granted.”The pane
“I still don't know why I was arrested.” Perseus said it for the tenth time as he leaned in against the chair as the female officer interrogated him.The female officer sat across from him on that table with a hard look on her face. After she had burst in with her men, she took him away and let Roman go.Preseus knew that it was Roman's connections that sent him to jail. They had no solid reason to imprison him after all.[Is this what you mean by hitting him and regretting it?]“I don't regret a thing, honestly.”[Then why do you look troubled?]“Eris and Sherry are all alone, and I am worried Roman might go after them to get back at me.”[Don't worry, I have already contacted your energetic lawyer. He will be here any moment from now.]“Thank you, Iris.”[You don't have to; it's what I should have done.]“You have committed two crimes.” The officer said,“What are they?” Perseus raised a brow at her.“We got a report that you are molesting Celia Aaron; is that true?”Perseus shrugge
“Do you know what you have done?! You have tarnished the reputation of my boss, and now you have to be responsible for his reputation. Since you arrested him without concrete evidence, I will have to sue you for slandering.”Lexi shivered at the threat. “It was all a misunderstanding.” She muttered. “I will let him go now; I wouldn't dare arrest him in the future either.”“You better let him go! If I find you any closer to him in the future, I am going to send my letter.”Lexi flinched; the letter was like a dead note, and if you accept. It was like going on a suicide mission. She nodded her head in agreement.“Yes, Mr. Logan.”Perseus slowly lifted his head from the table, still feeling the effects of the electric shock. He looked at Mr. Logan with a mix of gratitude and happiness.“Thanks for saving my ass,” Perseus mumbled.“Consider it a part of my job, boss,” Mr. Logan replied, his expression softening.Perseus raised an eyebrow. “Boss? Since when am I your boss?” he asked, wanti
Perseus frowned at the system. “I still have a mission to accomplish; having them around me is endangering their lives.”[But you flirted with the police officer; you went as far as asking for her contact information.]“I was just looking for an ally from the station.” Perseus claimed.[Does that explain your stimulating thoughts about her?]“Are you going to employ her?” Eris asked.“Yes, she is going to be a waitress. Now take me to my car.”**Preseus held a book as he stood in front of the building. He marked out the items that he ordered. There were tables, chairs, and everything else that was needed at a restaurant.His bodyguards from earlier were once lifting the chairs and taking them inside. Kara was in charge of arranging the chair and seat properly.[You didn't even get the information about Kara before you hired her.]“Do I have to?”[I think it is necessary.][It's for your own safety.]“Okay, fine, can you check her up for me?"[Sure.][Kara Miller is twenty-five years
