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
After his discussion with Sherry, Perseus sat on the edge of the pool with his legs in the water. Sherry was sitting with her friends, and Eris wouldn't stop giving him death glares, and so did Sierra.Ethan and the other gamers were playing a game on their mobile, and he was relieved to have enough time to finish the book.“Look!” Eriane squealed as she gestured for Sherry to look.Perseus smiled; his cousin was smiling, and she didn't look like she was sad about what happened the day before. Perseus had just looked away for a minute when he heard a high-pitched voice coming from the pool. When he turned his gaze back, there were three girls there, picking on his cousin and Sherry.“I asked you to get off and not give me that look!” One of the ladies yelled before pushing Eriane. Eriane slipped on the edge of the pool and fell in. She couldn't swim, and she was drowning. “She must be joking around.” The bullies began snickering. Reacting, Perseus jumped into that water and pulled
Perseus began to rethink his decision when he was made to sit on a chair in front of a table. His expression was sore as he glanced at the game.The game Gold had suggested they play was chess. It was the most boring game ever for Perseus; he hadn't even played it yet. He had no idea how it was played. [Chess is a two-player strategy game played on an 8x8 grid called a chessboard.][Each player controls 16 pieces: one king, one queen, two rooks, two knights, two bishops, and eight pawns.]Perseus arched his eyebrows at Iris. “I only know the queen; what are the rest?” Iris glared at him. You know nothing about chess! [How can you agree to play?!]Perseus ran his hand through his hair. “I only remember my mother playing it, and it was the queen I know of.”[Then listen to me.]Iris continued. [The objective is to checkmate the opponent's king, meaning the king is under attack and has no legal move to escape capture.][The king can move one square in any direction.][The queen can mov
By this time, everyone who had voted for Perseus was hesitant to add their votes, but Eris and Sherry added their votes without hesitation. They changed their minds.“I see you still have loyal followers.” Gold snickered. “That's more money for us.” [Congratulations host!][You have won the chess-playing ability.] [Installing ability in process.]Perseus grinned so widely that it surprised Gold. “Is that so? You are giving your allowance away like that?”Gold was almost terrified, but he regained his composure. “Yes, I am sure everyone here would do the same since you are a chest failure.” Perseus pulled out his golden card and placed it on the table. “Okay, I bet with all the money I have.” Everyone's jaw dropped, and Gold's eyes were rounded. “No need to be so confident.” Gold cushioned. “You're going to lose anyway.”“He is a loser; Gold is going to win anyway.” “He is giving away all his money for a game he already lost.” Sherry, this time, was on the verge of panicking.
