The Midnight Heir MERCURY HOTEL
When they had their privacy back, both Rollow and Quinn started to clap for Anthony."That was a better turn of events than I would have expected Master Anthony" Rollow commented and Quinn quickly looked at him skeptically."What are you trying to say Rollow? Are you looking down on Master Anthony's capabilities to handle situations like these? You should really beg for forgiveness if that's the case!" Quinn said while looking annoyed about what his friend had said.Rollow on the other hand scoffed "Absolutely not. I'll be mad before I look down on what the master can do, not after the feat he showcased back in the casino""Then what was your remark about Mr. Rollow?" Anthony asked and Rollow looked at him."I just thought you were going to teach those idiots a painful lesson for disrespecting you. That's what I would have done if I was in your shoes but I guess you had better plans in mind that I hadn't thought of. I suppose that's what makes you the master and I your humble servant"
The Midnight Heir GUSTAV’S SHOP
It didn't take long for Anthony to reach Gustav's shop after leaving the Casino because just as he said to Rollow, it wasn't that far from the Jade Casino.In Polaris, businesses usually aren't that far away from one another, especially walk-in businesses that are patronized by rich customers.It is like an ecosystem intentionally created because a customer who's willing to spend a lot in a casino will also want to spend just as much to look good or eat the best and most foods.Anthony came off his motorcycle and walked into the shop then he went straight for the men's wear section, looking for a suit that would fit his body and the date perfectly. His plan after that was that he was going to go to the women's wear section to find a beautiful dress for Annabelle as well.He quickly did a scan around, looking for something that wouldn't clash with his silver-colored hair and the selection he made was a light grey pants suit worth $100,000 which even without wearing it, he could already
The Midnight Heir SUIT RETURNED
"Gustav!" Anthony said the moment he locked eyes with Gustav, but unlike him, the designer was hunched over, panting from having run and temporarily abandoned his current work just to come to see Anthony."It's good to see you again Master Anthony. I didn't think I would ever get the chance of this meeting after a month went by and you didn't call for me like you said you would after our time together at the hospital" Gustav said, smiling from ear to ear as he wiped the tear forming in his eyes before he took in a deep breath then huffed and stood upright."Regardless, you're still the master and I believe wholeheartedly that you must have had your reason." Gustav's said then cleared his throat."A lot of things happened within that time Gustav but it doesn't matter right now—" Anthony said but before he could finish, Gustav's two assistants from that time at the hospital walked into the shop's main area through the same door that Gustav's just ran out through.Alongside them was also
The Midnight Heir COBALT BLUE
Once they all went into the designing room, Gustav walked over to the mannequin which was covered with the current project he was working on and he stared at it in deep thought for some seconds.When Anthony saw Gustav's current work, he couldn't help but smirk proudly at the work, saying "No wonder you're as renowned as you are in the whole of Pol—"However, before he could finish his sentence, Anthony had to swallow his words when Gustav grabbed a chunk of the fabric on the mannequin, and then ripped the entire thing off and dumped it on the floor.Both Tori and Lynette gasped at what he did but they also hurriedly closed their mouths so as not to come off as disrespectful to what their boss was doing.Just like all his works, they had been helping him work on that project ever since the day it started and were shocked that he could just destroy all their work and effort like that without even a second thought."What are you doing?! Even though it wasn't finished yet, even I could t
The Midnight Heir HAPPY TO SERVE
Excited to see the beautiful end product of the job their boss had spent all those hours to make, Tori and Lynette started to give Gustav a round of applause, and playing into the vibe of it all Gustav turned to face them then he gave a dramatic bow. "Thank you, thank you very much. You're all too kind for your applause and I don't deserve it" Gustav said jokingly like he was talking to an audience after giving a world-class performance and the three of them did this for a little while before they decided to get serious. All Anthony could do was stand there and watch the strange and overdramatic scene these three were making which also kind of fell in line with what he expected from someone as flamboyant as Gustav. Still, he palmed his face and shook his head in shame. "Don't mind our little over-the-top sequences, Master Anthony, that's just a little game we like to play whenever I finish a job in my zone." Gustav's panted a little bit with a huge smile on his face. "It's been a w
The Midnight Heir DRINKING DESTINATION
After she finished saying the word she greeted Anthony with, Marilyn had a huge smile on her face but Anthony on the other hand looked apathetic to seeing her. They stood where they were, staring at each other for a full fifteen seconds and nobody took it upon themselves to reduce the gap between them. Marilyn got annoyed by that because it showed that Anthony wasn't excited to see her which to an extent also meant he didn't care for their drink date as much as she did. "Don't just stand there, come here and lemme get a good look at you" Marilyn said when from the distance she noticed a difference in Anthony's appearance so she wanted to closer and better look. She gestured aggressively that he comes to her. Anthony rolled his eyes and huffed before dropping his hands from the door handle and walking over to Marilyn's car with his hands in his pockets. He wanted this to be over as soon as possible. When he finally stopped in front of her, the excited look she was having as she loo
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
