AGENT Series: The Best Mistake (FINISHED)

Chapter 8

I arrived at the agency the next day after dealing with a case when I saw Hemera and Aphrodite was eating a salad.

"Athena! Good morning. Have some greek salad it's so good. Here's a fork." Aphrodite said as she hands me a fork.

"Who made this?" I asked as I took a bite.

"Me. You like it?" Caleb said as he appeared behind my back.

I immediately placed down the fork.

"It's okay."

"Are you kidding Athena? It's just a salad but it's so good." Hemera said.

"What can you do? For me it's just okay. By the way, I can't train Caleb today. I have a case to work on."

"I'll just train him today for you." Aphrodite said.

"Ok. Thanks Aphrodite."

I was walking to Hermes' office when Apollo called me.

"Can you help me with something?" Apollo said.

"Sure."

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Did you just see that Athena went inside Apollo's office?" Hemera asked.

"Of course. What's wrong with an agent going inside another agent's office?" Aphrodite said.

"Haven't you heard the story between those two? It is said that Athena and Apollo was once in a relationship. It was when Athena was still an agent and Apollo was still a medicine student. But Athena ended it because Apollo was almost killed because of her. She took a bullet for him and she ended up in the ICU for a few days. But as I said, Athena ended it because she doesn't want to endanger Apollo's life."

"I know that story. What fate! After a few years, Apollo went to try out on being an agent so that's why he's an agent now. I already asked Athena about that but she just said they are friends now. Past is past. But she's quite afraid to fall in love again after what happened. Never hand a single boyfriend after Apollo."

"So sad."

"Is that true?" Caleb asked.

"Of course. The scar on her chest is the proof." Aphrodite said.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"What is it Apollo? I don't want to be rude but I still need to talk to Hermes." I told Apollo.

"Oh. Sorry. I'll make it quick." Apollo said.

"It's okay. So what is it?"

"Here."

He showed me a picture of a ring on his laptop. Tiffany Novo, the ring's name according to the website. $11,500, doing the math that would be about half a million.

"I didn't know you got a girlfriend. A ring worth about half a million. You must really love this girl." I asked.

"I do. But it's a secret. I'll tell you when the right time comes. Is this okay already? I mean to give to her as an engagement ring?"

"Of course. A ring that that beautiful and is worth about half a million is more than okay."

"Thanks for your opinion."

"Sure. Glad to help. I really need to go Apollo."

"Sure. Sure. I don't want to keep you from your cases."

"Before I go, you may want to do a fitness test on Caleb to see how he's been holding up. I don't want to be burdened if he got sick from the training. "

"Sure."

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Are you done with the Bethany case already?"

It was Dad on the phone.

"Yes Sir. Is there something wrong?" I answered.

"Good. Come to the house for dinner."

"Yes Sir."

Dinner again. He must be missing Katharin today. I drove to the house and my aunt Claudette opened the door.

"What's wrong now?" I asked her.

"Nothing. He's just feeling lonely or maybe even going through a midlife crisis."

"By the way, how's my gorgeous aunt?"

"Still gorgeous." she said.

We both laughed. She is still gorgeous I have to admit that. She still looks youthful and good despite her age without the help of a plastic surgeon. Ever since Mom's death because of giving birth to Katharin and being Mom's sister, she's the one who guided Katharin and I.

"You're still not married?"

"Well, being single is fun." she said.

"Tita!"

We both laughed again. We just stop laughing when we got to the dining room where Dad was now seated. Even though my Dad and I are not that in the best of terms, I still follow him and visit him when he wants me to visit.

"Sir.." I said.

"Have seat."
