The ground-breaking entry of the newcomer shocked them. All the men in the room glanced up at where Timtat had just popped out from. He got into the room through the roof.“Boss, what should I do to them?” Timtat inquired. “How many broken bones do you want?” Perseus glanced at his cousin, knowing that if Timtat acted, Almond would swiftly cut the rope.“Iris, what is the rate of me getting to Eriane before the rope gets cut off?” [89%]“What is the rate of me distracting Almond?” [23%]“Should Timtat be enough distraction?”[72%]Perseus slipped his phone into his pocket. 'Timtat, why don't you break their bones like you did with Terry?”Timrat glanced at Perseus in confusion but decided to play along. “Yes boss.”Almond scrutinized Perseus, yet Perseus remained unreadable for some unknown reason.“How could he have possibly taken down Master Terry?! That's impossible!” Almond crackled in laughter. Perseus lips pressed against each other. He leaned in to Timtat and whispered. “
Perseus rubbed his ear. “I went back home to settle something.”“You could have called! Do you know how worried I have been? I spent the whole night waiting for you, and now I have dark eye circles!” “You can still go back to bed, you know?” Perseus muttered.“I have morning classes!” She yelled. “Mathematics class with you, and you know Ms. Tisha hates anyone late to her class.”“What's the time?” Perseus asked. “It's freaking 9:30 am, and the class is beginning at 11 am! Don't tell me you haven't gotten dressed yet!” “I am just waking up,” Perseus replied honestly. He was getting ready for Sherry to scream at him when Eriane walked into his room. “Eriane, you are up!” His eyes brightened as he saw her.Her head was going low, and she looked embarrassed. “I am sorry for what I did. I made you risk your life to save me. I feel so terrible.” Eriane apologizes, tears trickling down her face. “Is that a female voice?” Sherry asked. Perseus nodded, even though she couldn't see him
“I can help you craft a plan if you want.” Almond offered, but his father turned him down. “No, your plan almost got you killed. I'm still wondering how you were still able to speak.” Mr. Sullivan yelled. “Then what, Dad?” Max asked. A huge grin spread across Mr. Sullivan's face. Don't bother. I'm going to have him crawling and begging for forgiveness.``Max liked the sound of that; however, there was something on his mind. “You have to get the girl too; she did this to my face.” “Don't take any girls; he only gets mad if he sees them with you,” Almond murmured. “Go for him alone, and then we will go for the girls.”“Easy for you to say.” Roman snapped. “That was exactly what I did, yet he ended up beating up our gang.” Almond gave him a look that said it was all his fault, and Roman shrugged it off.“Dad is different,” Max announced. “Would he be able to deal with that leach?”Mr. Sullivan nodded, his eyes darkening at the thought of what he was going to do.“If we bring him dow
Perseus found a man staring down at him, and it turned out to be a waiter wanting to get their orders. “One cup of cappuccino, please,” Perseus muttered. Lexi studied him. “No way you are having that; I am going to order real food.” He nodded, although that wasn't what he wanted. Lexi made her order, and as soon as the waiter left, her gaze returned to him. “You don't eat much, do you?” She inquired. “You didn't touch your food at the other restaurant.” “That's because I ate a lot before meeting you.” “Oh, I didn't realize.” They said nothing to each other and just waited for the food to arrive. The waiter had just placed the food on the table and wiped away a great meal when the corner of Perseus's eyes caught someone familiar. His brows twitched. “Lexi, you said nothing about her being out.” Lexi, who was already digging into her food, stared at him in confusion. “Who?” “Celia. When did she get out?”Lexi raised a brow at him. “How did you know that she was arrested?”Pers
Lexi's eyes widened in disbelief at the unfolding events.[Have you gone crazy, host?!][You kissed someone when there was Sherry!]Perseus pulled away, and Lexi's eyes rounded in shock. Her face flushed as she realized that he had kissed her in front of so many people. “I have a girlfriend, Celia, and I am also engaged. Why would I be obsessed over a lady like you who dates men old enough to be her father?” Perseus inquired. Celia's teeth gritted; she couldn't believe that he was already over her.“Do you think kissing her would change the fact that you are still pestering your ex?!” Thomas snarled. Perseus ignored Thomas and returned to his seat. He continued eating and acting like the others weren't there.“Eat more vegetables.” He mumbled as he added it to Lexi's plate. Lexi tried to convince herself that it was all an act for the audience. Her heart couldn't stop racing, and she couldn't look him in the eye.“Thank you.” She murmured.Thomas' face turned red when Perseus kept
Lexi stared at Perseus with a frown on her face. Annoyed by the fact that he didn't tell her that he held the shares in the restaurant. Scarlett didn't want to believe it. “How can he have the shares in the restaurant? He is just a pasta chef.”Mr. Xavier glared at his daughter. “Shut up! You have to apologize to Mr. Damon now!” Perseus didn't act like he cared about what was happening; he was only disappointed about not being able to play with them before his identity was revealed. Thomas still didn't understand what was happening.“Mr. Xavier, how can he be the shareholder? Are you sure you didn't make a mistake?” Thomas questioned. Mr. Xavier ignored him. “Mr. Damon, what should I do to everyone who was rude to you?” It was then that Perseus stared at him. “Throw them out and ban them from coming to this restaurant.”Mr. Xavier nodded his head without a second thought. “Sure.” “Also…” Perseus' eyes trailed toward Ronald. “I want him fired too.” Hearing this, Ronald fell to h
[You have to get serious about earning her trust before the days are off.][That's if she wants to see you again.]Perseus had forgotten about the mission. He sighed before hopping into his car. There was no more time left for him to head to class. Hours passed, and he was at the pool with the ladies. He was sitting on a chair, reading the hard copy of a book his cousin had given him.Sherry and Eriane were having a blast in the pool with other students from school. Ethan was also there; he ignored Perseus and stayed with the rest of the gamers.Perseus loved the peace he was getting after all; they had asked him to go with them. It was a fun day for him to rest. “What are you reading?” A lady came up to him holding two glasses of wine. Perseus glanced at the purple-haired lady, her green eyes staring down at him. “A comic book,” he replied.She sat on the chair next to him and leaned back. “What's the name of the comic? I would like to add it to my collection.” Perseus turned his
Sierra's jaw dropped; that was an amount of confidence that she had no idea Perseus had. Perseus was expecting Sherry to scream at him or show some emotion, but she was staring at him with confusion on her face. “Who's Lexi?” she asked. “The officer,” he replied. Sierra handed the phone to Sherry. “Here is the picture; I took a picture of them kissing.” Sherry raised her brows. “Were you stalking him?” Perseus and Sierra were stunned by the question. “What? No! I was not; I just happened to be passing by when I saw him.” Sherry deleted the picture from the phone and handed it back to Sierra.“What have you done?!” Sierra demanded. “You deleted it!”Sherry folded her arm. “He said he kissed her because of his ex-girlfriend. I don't mind if he has another girl. I am the number one, and I am the one he would get married to. We are currently engaged.” At the moment, Perseus eyes were popping out of their sockets with his mouth hanging open.“Engaged?!” Sierra's jaw dropped. “As
