The Midnight Heir MEETING IN THE KITCHEN
"You could have told me that this is where you were planning to bring me," Anthony said with an annoyed look in his eyes.He didn't like the fact that the same location he was to have his dinner date with his wife was going to be the same place Marilyn had planned their drinks together.Deep down it felt like her presence here was desecrating somewhere that was supposed to be special for him and his wife and the thought of that got him offended.Marilyn chuckled, locking her car with the remote on her car key before stuffing it into her purse and saying "And why in the world would I have done that? This was supposed to be a surprise after all so only an idiot would expect me to ruin the surprise ahead of time"Anthony creased his forehead and grunted from hearing her reason for not telling him ahead of time.Marilyn looked at him slyly and asked condescendingly "You're not an idiot now are you, Favorite?"Anthony refrained from saying anything back and his silence made Marilyn smirk,
The Midnight Heir MICHAEL SPEAKS UP
With guilt-ridden eyes, most of the male and some of the female workers looked at each other, grimacing like they were trying their best to say something but were holding themselves back before they all finally threw their faces away from who they were just looking at.Casey watched all of them with a shocked expression on her face because she could tell that they were hiding the truth from her and wanting them to say something she stepped forward and was about to pressure them into speaking but Michael quickly stopped her.Michael extended his hand to block her path which caused Casey to jolt into pausing in her current spot then she look at Michael, surprised at why he was stopping her or what he wanted to do."Michael?" Casey mumbled with a creased forehead but stopped when she saw the look Michael was giving her then she calmed down, knowing exactly what her friend wanted."Let me do this," Michael said before he clenched his fists then dropped that extended hand of his to his sid
The Midnight Heir A REAL PUNCH
Seeing the number of people victimized by Marilyn without her knowing how bad the things happening under her nose actually was until now made Casey angry.Out of all the staff, only she had been the one defending Marilyn against Michael and some of the other staff here anytime they acted weird whenever Marilyn's name was brought up in a conversation.However, now that she finally knows what the cause of their reaction was, Casey felt devastated and so she gritted her teeth, clenched her fists, and punched downwards."I can't believe I actually supported her just because she's a woman in a place of power and not because of her character. Fuck! I've always had a good sense of people so how come I was this blinded until now?!" Casey asked herself as she scrubbed her teeth together, feeling like she was about to tear up from the guilt she felt."It's alright Casey, it's not your fault that you didn't see her bad side because she hid it so well that I doubt anyone else would have. The fact
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
