The Midnight Heir AFTERMATH OF THE ANNOUNCEMENT
Immediately after Mr. Rose Dana’s announcement was over, all the reporters packed up their gear and rushed out of the scene, returning to all the news companies they work for.They were done with the live broadcast but their editors-in-chief still needed them to provide additional information about the event that wasn’t caught on camera and they wouldn’t be able to do that if they aren’t present in the meeting.This was a required step because, in this business of theirs, the first to bring out the most efficient news story always had the eyes of the public which in turn brings more money for the media they represent.“That was a great speech Sir, you never disappoint with whatever you decide to do” Miss Charlie said to Mr. Rose Dana while they both stood outside by the entrance of the building.They were watching the vans that the reporters came in drive away as fast as they could under the speed limit.“Thank you, Charlie,” Mr. Rose Dana said then suddenly, Miss Charlie’s smiling fa
The Midnight Heir ANTHONY’S NEW DEBIT CARD
"Don't mind this buddy, just a security measure after some idiot brought a gun and shot in here a month ago. Now we're required to do this by the city even after it's been a week since this place opened up again" said one of the security guys who used to be one of the ticket takers back when the incident happened.Anthony grunted, realizing that it made sense for this to be happening then he gave his phone to the guy there so he could pass through the metal detectors without setting off the alarm and he walked right through successfully."Welcome to the Nostalgia cinema, tickets and up ahead so just keep walking and you'll get there," the security guy said very apathetically as he extended and gave Anthony back his phone."Thanks," Anthony said.Once he got back his phone, it started to ring and on checking the screen, it was a call from Mr. Rose Dana.Anthony was surprised at first so he answered because it had to be something important for him to be calling just minutes after they se
The Midnight Heir LOGOS
"What are you talking about? Trouble? How? From who?" Anthony who was completely confused as to what Murray was talking about, asked.As a response, Anthony watched Murray lower his head in a heavy sigh, got away from the door, and walked around him, only to return to his desk where he sat down in his office chair.Murray meditated for a few seconds, readying himself for what he was about to say before finally facing Anthony and saying "I'm talking about some dangerous guy in a trench coat who has been looking for you everywhere for an entire month now"Surprised by this revelation, Anthony walked up to the desk and stood at the other side from Murray, where looking at the edge of the desk he saw a skipping rope and some exercise balls which felt completely out of place.Disregarding what he saw, Anthony asked "Looking for me? Why?!"Murray stared right into Anthony's eyes, describing what he could remember of Saul Solomon's features aside from the trench coat and then asking "Do you
The Midnight Heir COURIER
"Wait, what?!" Murray's tiny smile that he was holding on to in hopes that Anthony was going to say would be good, vanished."Do you want me to put it in writing? It's all the same to me either way. I came to resign" Anthony said, sounding indifferent to how his words were making Murray feel.After what happened that day, becoming friends with Todd, Corner, and then the other workers at the cinema, Murray concluded that it all happened thanks to Anthony and as a result, he ended up seeing Anthony as one of his closest friends.He had promised himself that when Anthony comes back then he would address how he treated him before, apologize for it, and then they move on as friends. However, since then things weren't going the way he wanted.He had tried to call Anthony after the day of the trial but the number Anthony used in his application later was fake and unreachable. Murray could only wait, hoping that he sees him again but now that it's happening, Anthony was telling him this?Unex
The Midnight Heir CASEY’S REPROACH
"I came to see the manager," Anthony said nonchalantly, pointing in the direction of the manager's office.From the looks, it's obvious that the place had been renovated and it was like a completely different restaurant in the interior from what Anthony remembered. After the destruction his altercation with Julius had caused here that day, the manager ordered a renovation to change the mood. She wanted to make herself forget what had happened, instead of just replacing the things Anthony had destroyed.The only thing that was the same was where the manager's office and the changing room were. Everything else aside those those was different which is why Casey was at the entrance.Even their uniform was different to match the new theme"You came to see the— come here!" Casey said, rolled her eyes then grabbed and pulled Anthony to the side to make way for other customers."What is it?" When they stopped, Anthony asked with a creased forehead, getting annoyed that she was still holding
The Midnight Heir ANGRY WAITER’S CONFRONTATION
"Hey, isn't that the guy from back then? The crazy guy who only worked a single day then ditched after fighting?""Are you sure? He kind of looks like him but I'm not certain""Yeah that's him, a ponytail isn't enough to make me forget that bastard"Some of the waiters murmured amongst themselves, having stares of disdain thrown at Anthony when they saw him walking by.There weren't that many customers in at the moment and the ones that were here were either busy eating their food or focusing on their dates to notice the secret conversations that their waiters were having.Anthony who could hear all that was being said about him and continued in his walk left them unanswered. He had no problem as long as all they wanted to do was gossip about him.Suddenly, one of the waiters standing in front of the counter which separates the dining area from the back room where the kitchen is saw Anthony and he got angry.This waiter wasn't attending to any of the customers and so he dropped his no
The Midnight Heir ANTHONY’S GIFT TO MARILYN
Anthony cleared his throat to change the mood, feeling uncomfortable because of the way Marilyn was looking at him, and then said "I'll get straight to it. I came to resig—" Marilyn cut him off when she realized where his sentence was heading to."Listen here Favorite," She said with a grin, got up from her seat, and walked around the desk to go sit next to him on the other side of the desk.She sat at the edge."I have something to show you," she said with a blush on her cheeks and Anthony grimaced with disgust, looking to the side."Do I look like I care about seeing anything you want to show me?" He said then turned his head to look at her "You should have guessed by now why I'm here so let's not play these stupid games—"She cut him off again but this time it was with a raised hand.Because of how she was sitting on the desk, only her right butt cheek and right leg were on the desk for Anthony to see. So, she adjusted from the edge of the desk, making sure that the left leg was n
The Midnight Heir INVITE FOR DRINKS
After she finished talking, she grinned and toppled the pen on the desk, implying more about what she meant."I don't know, something tells me they'll be just fine. I'm sure there'll be other more profitable jobs lining up to hire them if they leave this dump so they should be good" Anthony responded with a smirk.With his and Mr. Rose Dana's influence, getting Michael and Casey a job in one of their companies should be a walk in the park so her threat didn't faze him the slightest.Marilyn shrugged "I guess you're right but looking at those two, we both know they're soft. They're not like you, resilient and tough and that's a fact. How do you think they would take it if a scandalous rumor about them spring out of nowhere? Not everyone can handle that level of stress and they might just end up killing themselves because of it"She flicked the toppled pen with her finger and it flew to the wall in front of her, breaking into two pieces and landing on the floor. She was giving an underl
