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
The Midnight Heir MR. MOW
Having just one more stop to make in his retirement rounds, Anthony was in his motorcycle driving to the Jade Casino when the fact that he hadn't eaten yet struck him.It happened by his stomach growling just as loud as the vrooming of the motorcycle."Now is no time for food. I should just get this done and over with before worrying about—" Anthony said then quickly shut his mouth when something he unintentionally saw through the corner of his eyes caught his attention."Wait, it's that place!" Anthony said, carelessly taking his eyes off the road ahead of him and staring at a building he just drove past.The drivers behind him started to honk their horns when they saw that he wasn't paying attention to the very dangerous road.The one immediately behind him yelled, "Hey you maniac, keep your eyes on the road before you kill yourself!"Regardless of how much and hard they tried to gain his attention, Anthony was too focused on that building and when he drove beyond being able to see
The Midnight Heir SLEDGEHAMMER!!
"But how?! Why are you closing all of a sudden?!" Anthony asked hurriedly, leaning forward so fast that he almost stood from his seat.Mr. Mow was surprised by how interested Anthony was being about this and he couldn't help but look at him in disbelief."I don't know if I should be telling a total stranger something that has to do with my private life, even if you're my last customer—" Mr. Mow said, smiling nervously to deflate how serious Anthony had made the topic. However, Anthony cut him off, rushing to hold his hands on the other side of the table."Don't worry about it Mr. Mow, you can tell me everything. If there's anything I can do to help then I will, so please" Mr. Mow looked at Anthony's deep piercing blue eyes and unwavering gaze and he couldn't stop himself from becoming teary-eyed when he saw how genuine Anthony was being.This was something he hadn't experienced in a very long time.Meanwhile, Mr. Mow's grandson was at the back, near the kitchen and he was peeking at t
The Midnight Heir RICE
"I'm confused, what's going on here?" Mr. Mow asked, looking over at Danny's bent body posture as he stood upright, taking the sledgehammer and dropping it on his shoulder."Danny, Sonny, Jim, what are you guys doing? Weren't we all laughing and having a good time together just some months ago? Were your situations that bad that you had to go work for a loan shark after you quit?" Mr. Mow asked, looking at the three of them, one after the other.He was utterly stumped and lost as to what was going on and if things weren't bad enough, those three looked at each other and then burst out laughing."He is a stupid old man, isn't he?!" Jim yelled as he kept on laughing."And here I was thinking that with age comes wisdom. I guess he wasn't aware when wisdom was being passed around to all the geezers" Sonny said with a chuckle."Guys, why are you insulting me for no reason? Please what's going on?" Mr. Mow asked, but then…Anthony who couldn't eat anymore because of the piece of broken tabl
