The Night Rose

Chapter 12

"Don't say you got in trouble again? I can feel it. “ Marie said as Silas arrived, trying to hide from her; she continued, “No, I actually don't want to know as I still have all of these papers that you pushed at me on.”

Silas laughed jokingly and said, “Don’t say that. You’re the best there is, after all.”

“Timothy left you something at your table," Marie said as she rolls her eyes, then she averts her gaze, looking at her boss, tired of his behavior.

"Marie, my sweet Marie, do you know how much I do love that attitude of yours? You also know I'm useless with paperwork and better at making connections and money, right?" Silas said while looking at Marie, who suddenly grabbed the closest object from her, that was an inkbottle, and threw it at her boss.

"Ayay!" Silas caught it and said, "Marie, you are lucky that the ink bottle is closed and not open.

“You know I'm not a masochist, but for you, I will make an exemption and let you dominate me at any time you want," Silas said while placing back the inkbottle on the table.

"Go fuck yourself. You have a working hand and a vivid imagination, so only in your dreams. I would be happier if you will get me a helper here that can help me take care of my work while I'm doing yours." Marie said after she raised her hand and showed Silas her middle finger.

The boss pretended to be hurt by the gesture, "Marie, I didn't know that you were this violent. Where’s my sweet Marie? But if it's a helper you want, then I will hire two for you immediately." Silas said while making a dramatic gesture to make his words more exaggerated.

She snorted, "Oh, thanks. That will make my life so much easier. But knowing you- that may never happen as it hasn't happened ever before," Marie said while looking at all of the work that was pending now because of her boss.

"But Marie, you are so beautiful. I don't want any other male to come here and watch you if they aren't married or in a relationship. Do you know how hard it is to find a female worker or any male that is in a relationship here?" Silas made more dramatic gestures.

This time Silas is not lying. It was true that even when Marie had eye bags under her eyes, and she has glasses, she was beautiful. Even Marie wasn’t aware of how beautiful she was.

She had shoulder-length long brown hair and a pair of exquisite green eyes. Marie was slim, and she had moderate breasts and buttocks, which suited her tiny and petite frame. She had a v-shaped face and heart-shaped lips that many women would kill to have.

So she’s really pretty, and if she would just take care of herself and her body, no man would be able to take their eyes off of her, so Silas wasn't exaggerating that much.

"Silas, you blonde idiot! Just hire someone now! I don't even know who or where you’ll find someone but just find someone!” Marie ranted, “Timothy is recommending to be hired soon. What if it's male? Will you throw him away because of that? Oh right! Maybe you are scared that they will turn gay when they would see you as people still sometimes mistake you for a female. I think even Timothy thought you were female first. Didn't he also get into a fight with his wife because of that?" Marie continued savagely embarrassing Silas.

"It's not my fault that I do have blonde hair that I keep to my shoulder or that I have a slim face and body. I know I'm beautiful, Marie, you don't have to remind me about it." Suddenly a knocking was heard, and the smell of food came out from the door.

"The food delivery is here. Silas, the boss, told me to get the money for the payments for all the damages you and Timothy had caused in the restaurant. Else, we won't deliver food for you anymore." The man who was delivering the food said.

"Silas! What the hell did you and Timothy do again?! Oh! I already said I don't want to know. I really don't want to know." Marie kept muttering as she took the food from the delivery man.

"Here you go, good man. Say thank you to your boss and that we will use his services more," Silas said while throwing a coin purse at the delivery man.

"Marie, I will leave you to eat now. I will check Timothy's paper then and see who he is recommending this time," Silas said while going inside his office.

After he closed the door behind him, "So let's see, I guess it's these papers here.”

He continued, “Oh, it’s a test for Northgate. interesting." He said, now gathering all his attention in paper.

He found himself smirking as he read through the paper- it was impressive.

"Arwin, I cannot say the gender from the name, but seeing these answers, I guess it's a he. Well, almost impossible for women to be mechanic around here. I don't know how they can throw a skilled mechanic and pilot like this., Heh, this is good for us. I needed a pilot for delivering the necessary items to the workers outside and then get the cargo from them back to here." Silas continued to mutter more to himself, “Seriously, they have no idea just how much potential they just threw away.”

When he finally was done with the papers, he rushed out of the office, "Marie, I finally found the perfect person for us. I'm going to go and register him as a citizen of the city as a worker under us before someone else tries to claim him or offer him a better position. If Timothy got these test papers, it must mean he is interested in working for our company." He shouted before running out from the door to the nearest office building where he could register this prodigy for their company.

He didn't know how Timothy did find the perfect person every time, but it was never a loss for him. Silas couldn't let this just pass this opportunity this easily.

Silas had wanted someone to fly an old steamship for a long time now. However, no one seemed to know how to fix or use those things. Because of that, his storage still has an old and broken steamship that was never used.

Now he finally found a person to use it and his delivery problems would be long gone after it would be fixed.

Silas was thrilled and wanted to make this man to work under him as soon as possible. He says while whistling, “Oh, it’s a good day to be alive.”
