"Heyyy!" I grabbed Adele's arm and pulled her back.

"What's going on?" I asked her, gesturing to the others.

"Oh, Mr Mike is waiting outside to receive his very impressive guest.. Elvis said we should gather up to welcome the guest"

"Huh? Is this guest that important that we even have to welcome him?"

"Yeah, come on, let's go!" She said and pulled me along.

"Of all these waitresses, your behavior is the best.. you'll greet him with me" he said.

I simply nodded and quickly put on my very sweet, warm smile.. I'm not trying to brag but my friends say I've got a smile that melts hearts.

    Jasmine's pov Arthur stopped in front of my apartment, Davis already fell asleep in my arms. "Thanks for the ride, Arthur" I said."Thanks for the ride? Are you chasing me away?" He asked.I tilted my head and made a confused expression."I said I'll cook dinner for you tonight" he reminded me. I bite my inner cheek to stop myself from laughing, I raised an eyebrow."By cooking dinner you mean, ordering takeouts?" I teased him.Arthur seems to be perfect in everything, but one thing..he sucks when it comes to cooking.That's his biggest and only flaw, like I said he's perfect. "We're not ordering takeouts this time, I took some cooking tutorials" he said."Cooking tutorials?" He nodded. "From where?""YouTube, duh"That's it, I couldn't hold it in any longer. I burst into laughter, I laughed so hard that I almost woke Davis up from sleep.Arthur simply stared at me, his lips set on thin lines with both his eyebrows furrowed."YouTube? Seriously?

Adele stopped one of the waiters.I'm not surprised she knows his name, she's kinda popular with all the male staffs here."What's going on? Why is everyone so tensed?" She asked him.Troy looked around and sighed."It's our new boss, he's setting everyone's pants on fire...""Our new boss?" I interrupted him.He nodded and continued."... he seems to be in a very bad mood this morning, he yells at every little mistake"I frowned. "When did we get a new boss?" I asked.Adele nodded at my question, I guess she wanted to ask the same thing. "Yesterday... Mr Mike sold the restaurant yesterday" he replied.Yesterday?

I think we should retreat and think of another plan" Clark said worriedly.Thanatos focused his gaze on the retirement home ahead of him, he shook his head in disagreement."We must get my mom out today!" He got up and knocked Clark out."Peter stay and watch over him, find a hideout and hide there.. until it's all over" he told Peter."Mr O'Briens..."I glared at him, but he ignored my glare and continued."...you can't fight with those guys, they're skilled assassins""Don't make me knock you out too" he said and rushed towards the gun fire battle. **Thanatos pov Standing in the

We're currently sitting round a table, in a restaurant right opposite Molina's retirement home."I discovered something very interesting" he said again and paused.Can he just finish his words in a go? I have very important things to do than listening to him blab about his date."Those security men patrolling the place, can you see them?" He asked.I faced him and realized he's pointing at the security men guiding the retirement home."Yes? What's with them?" I asked, then turned my gaze back to the security men."They are spies, they're not real security men"I rolled my eyeballs and shook my head, then poured him a glass of water."Clark, tell me something I don't know" I told him, dumping the glass of water in front of him."What do you mean?

I scolded her.She slapped her hands on her mouth, but doesn't stop screaming. When she's had enough, she stopped. "I knew you'd react this way, that's why I brought you to the locker room" I told her in warning tone.She scoffed and shrugged off my words, crazy female."You mean, Elvis was sent here by your dad.. to watch over you?" She asked."Yeah""Now it all makes sense!" She exclaimed."What makes sense?". I asked.She got up, I sighed and rolled my eyeballs.. she's about to make it dramatic.Her hands behind her, she paced to and fro in front of me...she tilted her head as though she's thinking."Our behaviors throughout these years should have gotten us fired, but it didn't"Adele nodded her head, she stopped pacing and reache
