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
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
