The Midnight Heir SWIRL
“Hmm!” Anthony grunted suspiciously as he peered right at the glass while he swirled it in his hand.Marilyn took her first sip before she paid attention to what Anthony was doing then getting nervous that he wasn’t going to drink it, she asked “What’s the matter Favorite? Aren’t you going to drink it? You know it’s rude to refuse a peaceful offering from someone right?”She tried her best to keep a nonchalant tone so as not to come of like she was instigating Anthony to drink. She knew that if he found out her intention was to get him to do just that then Anthony would out right refuse just to spite her.She was going for the reverse psychology trick.“Is that right?” Anthony said apathetically then he turned to look at her by his side, still swirling the glass in hand “Sorry to say but I don’t have good drinking etiquette because I don’t drink. Never have”Anthony shrugged then stopped looking at her before turning to face and look at the bar attendant who couldn’t stop himself from
The Midnight Heir KNOCKED OUT
Anthony covered his mouth to burp before facing a shocked Marilyn while looking confused at her reaction himself and asking "What's the problem? You seem like you've just seen a ghost of something"Anthony's question didn't register immediately with Marilyn which made him frown at how strangely she and the bartender were both looking at him.But then, Marilyn who finally got what she wanted because Anthony drank the spiked drink snapped out of her shock and tried to act normally.She smiled from ear to ear, saying "Oh, it's nothing Favorite. I was just surprised that you would drink after saying how uninterested you are with alcohol, that's all. It was just an unconscious response so don't mind me"While she talked nicely to distract Anthony, Marilyn gently raised her feet from the bartender's hand then she snapped her fingers, and then flicked it in Anthony's direction to signal him to go do something for her."Hmm" Anthony grunted skeptically before looking down at his empty glass t
The Midnight Heir GERALD OFFERS HELP
Back inside the kitchen of the Grand Blue Restaurant where the meeting was just about rounding off, Michael stared at everyone there with prepared looks on their faces then he nodded his.“Is everyone clear on the plan?” He asked and they all clenched their fists In confirmation “Great, so like I said we’re going to drive down to the hotel and stop Favorite from drinking whatever spiked cup of alcohol Marilyn and that damn bartender have planned to use. Let’s go!” Michael exclaimed enthusiastically and everyone shifted around to start heading out.Just then, Gerald stepped forward toward Michael and said “I like the energy and I want to contribute in some way so why don’t you all allow me to drive us to the Mercury hotel”Gerald extended his hand to Casey who had the restaurant’s delivery van keys with her and she looked at him and then at Michael who stared at Gerald with shock.“Why are you looking at me like that?” Gerald asked after feeling strange because of Michael’s and Casey’
The Midnight Heir GERALD’S TRUTH
“Hey, I know I haven’t delivered in a while but don’t they only lock the pedals with the pedal lock when we’re closing off for the day?” Micheal asked Casey who has done more deliveries than he has and she came to the driver’s door as well to check what he was talking about.“Yeah, that’s right. Is there something wrong?” Casey asked before she reached the driver’s seat and found out that the pedals had been locked.Just then, Henry who went somewhere else when they all rushed outside to find Gerald ran towards Michael and Casey at the front of the van with a panicked look on his face.Pointing towards where he just ran from, Henry said “Hey guys, I just came from where Gerald usually parks his moped and I can’t find it anywhere. I think it’s been stolen or something!”Michael and Casey widened their eyes in confusion before they started to think about everyone, trying to make sense of it.“Gerald’s sudden interest in wanting to help drive, him vanishing when we all turned our backs,
The Midnight Heir JOSH AND COLLIN
Casey drove them to the Mercury Hotel and just when they were entering the parking lot to find somewhere to park the van, from the passenger seat Michael saw Marilyn's car, leaned forward, and pointed at it."Look, that's where she's parked!" He exclaimed and it got Casey's attention."Don't worry, I see it!" Casey said then diverted from where she originally planned to park the van and drove them next to Marilyn's car which was where she ended up parking.Once parked, all of them hurried outside the van and circled Marilyn's car to see if she was still inside or not."She's not here which only means that she's already in the hotel and there's only one place she'll be in there, the bar—" Michael said while standing by the passenger's door of Marilyn's car but was interrupted when Casey called out to him."Michael come check this out!" she said which made Michael and the others on that side of the car with him to quickly rush to Casey."You see this motorcycle, it belongs to Favorite a
The Midnight Heir ROOM 306
Both Josh and Collin shrugged and said in unison "Sure, that doesn't seem like it'll be an issue"Collin continued "As long as Casey is one of those people and she promises to keep the rest two on their best behavior while inside then three can go in"Henry nodded his head then turned to face the others as they were going to do a group huddle and plan who those two other people were going to be."Alright, who should we pick as the two people that'll follow Casey in?" Michael asked and the others all looked at him which made him grimace in confusion."What are you all looking at me for?" Michael asked and they laughed and chuckled."Isn't it obvious that you should be the one to go in already?" "Yeah, if it wasn't for you and Casey then we wouldn't be doing this in the first place and most of us would have been dying inside in silence for what happened to us. It's only right that you represent us from this point onward"Two of the staff said and from the murmurs of the others, they we
The Midnight Heir ESSENTIAL OIL
Michael, Casey, and Henry all rushed to the elevator and when the doors opened, it already had someone inside so they tried to comport themselves while that person who was in there with them had their phone tightly gripped in their hand.They and that person greeted each other before Michael pressed the bottom for the third floor and the elevator started to go up.The bar was on the first floor so they needed to go up two more floors before getting to their destination. All three of them waited at the front of the elevator, closer to the door while the extra person stood there at the back.As they ascended, Henry couldn’t help himself but sneak side glances at the other person in the elevator there with them and as a result, he kept blushing.“What a beautiful woman. Wonderful orange hair and such mesmerizing eyes like they can warm the coldest of hearts. I want to ask her for her name so bad but I’m too intimidated to” Henry thought to himself as his heart raced and then he shook his
The Midnight Heir WRING ROOM
The door gently opened and already being prepared for it, Casey and Michael both slammed their bodies into it, forcing the door to be pushed forward all the way.As a result, they ended up knocking back the person on the other side who was opening it but the two of them didn’t care as they ran inside because it was Marilyn, or at least that’s what they thought.“Hey Favorite, where are you?! Are you okay?” Michael asked frantically as he looked around the room, trying to find Anthony.“You have to get out of here Favorite! You don’t know what you’re getting yourself into by accepting Marilyn’s invite—“ Casey said but was interrupted from behind.Henry cleared his throat to get their attention then said “Umm” before he gulped.“Hey guys, I think you should turn around for a second and see something,” Henry said with an embarrassed grimace and tone, and his words made both Casey and Michael curious enough to do as he suggested.“What’s the problem Henry?” Michael asked as he started to
