Weird,right?

Annie scoffed loudly.

What the hell?!!!.

Just then, Larry entered with a frown.

"You're not leaving this house today. You will stay back to do all the visible and the invisible house chores. Punishment for cleaning my lips with a rag!."he said.

"You said the food is salty."Annie said instead.

"Well..yeah,are you just realizing that right now?. I think you will have to undergo a training if you're going to be cooking for me. I'm a man with expensive taste."he replied.

Annie turned to him furiously.

She felt like screaming her lungs out at him.

Who does he thinks he is?!.

Larry scoffed.

"Why the glare, little miss?."

Annie sighed. She was trying to curb her anger. She will soon be out of here. Just a month, nothing much.

She grabbed the pot and showed it to him.

"After all your pesky attitudes towards the meal,you finished it all,you emptied the pot!."

Larry blinked rapidly as he tried to come up with a lie.

"I don't like wasting food, that's what my mom taught me right from the childhood. I don't like to see food being wasted. I only ate it because of that and, arg,my stomach has started hurting."he lies and feigned a hurtful expression as he held his stomach.

Annie glared hard at him before placing the pot to its position.

"I bet you would have finished the pasta all and even lick the pot if the food isn't salty.."she taunted.

"Me?, you really wish!."he almost yelled.

"If not,then why are you so hurt?."she question innocent and smacked her lips.

Larry sighed in frustration. She's really frustrating him and she always do that better than him.

"Look,like I said earlier, you're not going out,hmm?.."

"What?, but I want to go see my mom!."she yelled.

"No yelling at me, little miss."he frowned.

He moved out of the kitchen with a smug smile.

"You're really heartless!."he heard her say and the smile on his face disappeared and got replaced with a tight frown.

Yes,he is heartless. He certainly knows that when he allowed his mother to die on that bed.

Annie had finished the whole cleaning and had just finished eating a full plate of spicy noodles.

She sat on the couch and put on the TV and changed the channel to Zee❤️ World.

She beamed when she saw the show they were showing.

     *Twist of Fate.*

Oh,she so much loves this.

She could see down all day to watch this particular movie.

Her mind drifted to what Larry said and her face got brightened up with a huge smile.

This is actually good!.

Since he said she isn't going out,then,she will sit a say to watch the movies.

She giggled excitedly.

This is way more less than a punishment.

Some footsteps sounded on the stairs and Larry came into the view.

He looks like he is heading to work already.

"Wow. I employed you as my maid,and,not a couch warmer. And, sitting on my favorite couch?, don't you think that's a little bit rude?,or more rude!."

Annie rolled her eyes.

"Anyways,follow we. We will be heading to the hospital together."he said.

Whaaat?!!??...

Annie's eyes widened.

"But you said..."

"And I'm saying this now, you're not going to stay in the house for the day. Count your self lucky,I don't pardon people anyhow."he said.

Pardon my foot?!??!!.

I don't want your pardon!.*Annie thought.

This guy is so unpredictable.

He walked out and she stood up reluctantly.

Gosh!.

When she's all happy already. He just had to ruin the moment!.

She grunted.

"Where are you?!."Larry's voice sounded.

"If you don't come out now,you will just leave my no option than to let you walk down to the hospital."he added.

Upon hearing that,she rushed out without putting off the TV.

She scurried to the garage and entered his car.

Larry was already sitting there at the backseat.

She sat in front, just beside the driver.

Larry's expensive perfume filled the whole car.

"Good morning."John greeted and she nodded with a smile.

He drove out of the compound and they soon hit the road.

They were all silent all through the ride.

**

The man moved inside the classical hotel with guards trooping after him.

They got to the reception and stopped by the lady behind the counter.

"Good mor..."

"Save it. 112."the man cuts her off gruffly.

The lady understood and gave him some keys.

He hummed a *good* and collected the key from her and headed to the room.

When he got there,he put the key inside the keyhole and turned it,then the door creaked open.

He gave his guards a look before removing the key from the hole and stepped inside the dark room and locked the door behind him.

He met him, sitting on the bed. The buttons on his shirt was left opened showing his bare chest and a glass of red wine was in his hands.

He twirled the glass around in his hand before looking up at him.

"Any heads up on him yet?."he asked.

"No,sir. I have my boys check..."

"You said his left hand was blown off in the last mission, didn't you?."he interrupted and sipped his wine.

"Yes,sir,and..."

"Did you checked his former house?."

"Yes. But, the house had been demolished. A neighbor said they left some months ago, just after his mission with us which was the last."

"You ask where they moved to?."he questioned.

He went silent.

"Stupid."the second man muttered.

He stood up.

"Go back there and ask."he said.

The first man nodded vigorously and bowed.

"You're dismissed."

He then walked out of the room, locking the door.

He let's out a sigh as soon he was out.

He headed out of the hotel with his guards and gave the receptionist the key on his way back.

Larry and Annie moved inside the hospital.

They met Sam with a guy on their way and Larry stopped walking abruptly.

He and the guy exchanged look and the guy smirked.

"Doctor Larry,wow. I see you've found something more interesting to do."he smirked.

"What are you doing here?."Larry questioned.

He doesn't looks at all pleased to see him.

"A hug would do,you know. You still haven't left your grumpy attitude."the guy said instead.

"What are you doing here?."Larry repeated.

"Well.. obviously, I'm new here,I was hired to assist you guys here so, I'm a doctor here now,a new one."

Larry cursed under his breath and balled his hand in a fist.

"Not happy to see me?. I look forward to working with you by the way, doctor Larry."

"Excuse us."Larry said, referring to Annie and Sam.

Samuel and Annie both continued walking.

"Hi."Sam said.

"Hey."Annie replied.

"How come you're both together?."he asked.

Annie turned to him.

"For...a reason best known to me."she replied.

He gave her a small smile.

"I think they know each other before,from the way Larry is tensed."he said.

Annie turned to him.

"Larry?,is that the way to refer to you boss?"Annie said.

"Oh,cut the crap. He is no boss. He's also hired here just like every other person. He is just skillful than us, nothing much."he said with a scoff.

Oh.

So he isn't even the one that own the hospital?.

Annie gave a nod.

"He is weird, isn't he?. Have you touched his left hand and see how strong they are, just like metal."Sam started again.

He was the nosy and talkative type.

"Really?."Annie said.

"Yeah. But,he said he only tested a particular injection on it and that made it like that. So strong!."

"Well, that's good. He tested it on himself not on some innocent patient,like others always do."Annie replied.

"Right?."Sam chuckled.

"Right."Annie nodded.
