Part-Time Work
For weeks after the evidence Dawn handed to Jim, there was no news from the elusive man. Without a way to contact the FBI information head, Dawn could only rely on Jericho’s weak connections to learn more about what was happening to Ricardo’s turf war.
Aqua’s cooking repertoire drastically improved as her command of language improved. Her determination to learn mathematics helped her modify recipe portions. Jericho no longer needed to babysit Aqua whenever Dawn left for work now that she could walk without difficulty. It took Aqua a few months to get accustomed to the human lifestyle, and the sacrifice of her tail at night became undoubtedly useful.“What do you mean?” Dawn watched his tone carefully.He’d returned home to a delicious meal of pasta with fried fish when Aqua broke the news to him. The mermaid used to be so meek before. Now, she was brimming with confidence. Instead of seeking his permission to do things, she was mereRelated chapters
Dear Don Last Name
Beep!Dawn checked his phone. He had a meeting in five minutes. However, the man had become more distracted ever since Aqua started working. Although her work did not start until evening, the CEO of a newly founded company couldn’t help but check every text he had. Aqua woke up later than usual in the morning. If Dawn were honest, he missed those little morning hugs and kisses. He could barely afford the time to see her in the afternoon after work started piling up. While he continued to look forward to the little lunch boxes she prepared for him, microwaved meals tasted different from freshly cooked ones.The only things keeping him from not reporting to his lonely office were those midday texts Aqua would send him once she woke up. The mermaid was adjusting to the human lifestyle rather quickly. Apart from new moon night transformations, the blonde beauty appeared no different from other humans. Her mannerisms might be a tad awkward, but most people would think of
Dear Don First Million
The small velvet box weighed heavier with each passing day. Dawn David did not know how much of a wuss he truly was until he had someone he truly cared about in his life. The discovery gave him more insight into the kind of man his father was and how his late dad felt about his mother.The night he thought he would tell Aqua about his true feelings, the words wouldn’t come out of his throat. He only showed her the new identity cards and passports, pointing at their similar last names. Aqua was too overwhelmed with happiness at earning her human rights, ironically enough. Dawn procrastinated to act on his feelings and convinced himself there would be another opportunity. The joy on Aqua’s face was enough for that night.Then, Aqua and Jericho informed Dawn about Aqua’s desire to further herself in employment. She was an amazing kitchen assistant, and even the customers praised her recipe. Despite her lack of formal education, Jericho wanted to promote her
Dear Don Missed Text
It happened. As soon as Gordon secured the new deal with that pharmaceutical company, Dawn’s business phone blew up with congratulatory messages, all wanting to interview the elusive businessman. After his net worth doubled in a few hours, he was the hottest man in town. Jenny and Gordon couldn’t stop the persistent press from camping outside the office building. Thankfully, security was tight, and Dawn managed to escape, driving off in his tinted sedan. He had never been happier about the real estate investment in this city. Even if those news reporters gave chase, they couldn’t enter the tightly secured luxury condominium many other highly-profiled individuals lived in.It was four in the afternoon when he arrived at the penthouse. Aqua was studying the ingredients in the fridge when the door opened. She looked surprised at the time as Dawn dashed in with a radiant grin.“Come on,” he smirked. “Let’s go on a date. I reserved a ro
Dear Don Aqua Fights Back
Aqua was cooking up a storm in the kitchen for her VVIP guest, due to arrive in an hour. At first, nobody knew who this VVIP guest was and why the special order seemed so home-cooked. However, the smarter ones put two and two together after Jericho informed the kitchen crew how Aqua would spend an hour or two away from the kitchen during the dinner rush.“So this is why you were wearing rouge the whole time!” the snarkiest part-timer sidled up to Aqua with a hushed whisper. “Didn’t peg you for that sort of woman. How much pocket money does he pay you? Do you think he’d like brunettes like me?”Aqua didn’t like the new part-timer. Neither did the chef nor anyone in the kitchen crew. The service, security staff and special staff hated her because she constantly got in the way of everyone’s jobs. However, nobody bothered entertaining her. Jericho made it very clear this detestable part-timer was here for personal reasons but not
Dear Don Flower Language
Back in the days when he was still a suave and badass mafia boss, Dawn always sent his assistant to purchase flowers and make restaurant reservations on his behalf. He never knew what sort of flowers they chose because everything looked like a rose to him. They simply came in different colours, and Dawn never bothered to learn about flowers.Here he was today as a small CEO of an office with barely any employees, choosing a bouquet for the love and saviour of his life. He had no idea there were so many types of flowers and spent ten minutes browsing the different flowers, reading the names of every sign. Who knew that not every flower was a rose? These flowers came with specific meanings, and even a different colour could convey a very different meaning. He thought the yellow blooms matched Aqua’s hair colour until the florist educated him about the meaning.“Although yellow is normally a cheerful colour, yellow carnations, in particular, represent rejection or
Dear Don Be Mine
Staring at the two words in Dawn’s chicken scrawl, Jericho inhaled deeply. He didn’t know if he should dropkick his dumb friend or strangle the life out of him. Either way, it was good that Dawn came to him before he could present this bouquet of unique flowers to Aqua.“Have you completely lost all your brain cells?” the gay man hissed. “Be mine? You couldn’t come up with better words? Are you a Neanderthal?! You’re so lucky you showed me this before giving it to Aqua. This is no way to confess to a lady!”As expected, Dawn received an earful from Jericho, who looked like he was an inch away from jumping over that counter and stabbing him with an ice pick. However, the millionaire refused to believe reciting Shakespeare’s poetry would impress the mermaid, who had just finished learning long division.“Then what else would you have me write? She can barely do elementary Math. Her reading skills are slightly a
Dear Don Kiss Me
Dawn had finished about half the bottle of aged whisky that Jericho had brought in. However, the nerves did not disappear, and he was still very sober. Time passed very slowly when he was alone, and the tempo of the music playing did not match his heartbeat.Two almost inaudible knocks were at the door, but Dawn heard it in his hyper-vigilant state. The CEO glanced at his watch and noticed it was about time. Straightening himself, he stood up and opened the door.“Hey,” he greeted, turning into putty when he saw Aqua holding the bouquet he bought. “Did you like the flowers?”Blushing hotly, Aqua nodded. She rushed to get dressed and braided her hair for the date after the accident in the kitchen. Jericho had so many fragrances to borrow from, and Aqua picked something that smelled like flowers. It wasn’t the most original choice, but it was the safest. After all, it was probably better to choose ‘Floral Fantasy’ over ‘Bl
Dear Don Important Things In Life
It was nearing a year since Aqua and Dawn officially became lovers. More surprisingly, Jericho snagged himself a cute boyfriend a few months ago. Nobody knew where the bar owner picked his lover from. However, that man was rather odd. Jericho was surprisingly secretive about him as well. All they knew from the gay bartender was his name.“Melvin said this restaurant by the cliffside is famous for its seafood. Aqua likes escargots, so you should book a reservation in advance if you plan to propose. Do you need help with the rings?”Shaking his head, Dawn looked at Jericho’s tall but pale-looking boyfriend. Melvin’s hazel eyes darted to the side as he slouched a little under the ex-criminal’s gaze. It was still difficult to believe Jericho was dating such a wimpy man. Apart from his good looks, Melvin resembled a scared puppy whenever they met up. The two men had been dating for a few months now. However, Melvin had never spoken with anyone else
