"Baby, wait!" Thanatos called.

He wanted to run after Jasmine immediately she ran out, but Clark stopped him.

"What are you doing? Make way" he said.

Clark shook his head in disapproval.

"Thana, calm down. I believe she wouldn't want to see you now, she needs some alone time" Clark said.

Thanatos didn't speak, his gaze simply remained at the direction she just ran off to.

Everyone is just staring at him in shock, they're all wondering what just happened.. like why was he calling Jasmine baby? Why did Jasmine slapped him and ran off?

All these questions.. Adele already seem to have gotten the answer... but she's still a little shocked.

She didn't expect Jasmine and her idol...

She didn't even dream of it once, that's why she's shocked.

"Who's her friend here?" Thanatos asked.

Elvis cleared his throat, smiled and stepped forward.

"Mr O'Briens, I'm sorry for Jasmine's behavior. Trust me, she doesn't behave like this on normal days, I don't know what happened to her today..."

Thanatos removed his attention from him and sucked in some air.

*Yeah, I happened to her today* he thought, blaming himself for Jasmine's action today.

"She doesn't behave like this on normal days? Then why did she behaved like this today?" Mr Mike questioned Elvis.

Thanatos signaled Mr Mike not to blame his workers, since he's the reason she behaved that way.

Adele seemed to have gotten over her shock, she rushed towards the locker room.

"Jas, beat you pretty hard, look at your lips bleeding" Clark said as he studied Thanatos face.

Thanatos slapped Clark's hand away and turned back to Mr Mike.

"Let's go to your office and talk"

"Yes, Mr O'Briens, this way please" Mr Mike said and led the way to his office.

He signaled Elvis to dismiss the workers gathering, since they're (Thanatos, Clark and Mr Mike) is already heading to his office.

"Get back to work everyone, chop, chop" Thanatos heard Elvis dismissing the workers.

He reached for his phone and sent Peter a text, ordering him to find out where Jasmine lives.

"Mr O'Briens, Mr Evans, please come in" Mr Mike said.

He pushed his office door opened and invited them inside.

Thanatos and Clark walked in, Mr Mike led them to the sitting area in the office.. he showed them to sofas and they sat down.

"Mr O'Briens, I'm really sorry for what happened today, our employees don't usually..."

Thanatos stopped him with a raised of his hand.

"What's her job here?" Thanatos asked.

"She's a waitress, but don't worry I've fired her and you won't get to see her aga..."

"She's not fired" Thanatos cut him off.

Mr Mike seemed to be in a bit of confusion, he doesn't seem to understand what Thanatos meant.

"She can't be fired, she's my woman and this restaurant is a gift to her"

"What?" Mr Mike exclaimed.

"She'll soon be the CEO here, so name your price.. how much?" Thanatos asked.
