CHAPTER 25

As soon as we got off Atlas' private plane, we went straight to his warehouse. A van picked us up at the airport so we didn't have to commute. It seems like Atlas doesn't plan to commute either because this guy is impatient.

"You brought a lot of stuff even though we'll be going back to Mexico," I heard Atlas say as I put my duffel bag on his leather sofa in the living area of his basement lobby.

"I just carried away," Oceanus replied briefly and sat on the sofa. "It's been a few years since I last came here."

I looked to my side when someone tapped me. Ria was smiling and waved at me. As usual, she was still wearing a lab coat and had her facemask down.

"Welcome back, Sarah," she greeted me.

I couldn't hide my happiness, so I took her hand and hugged her tightly. She hugged me back and patted my back several times.

"Sorry. It seems like you're going back to the lab, and I hugged you," I said, laughing.

She shook her head. "No, it's okay. I'm going to rest now too. I've been awake for almost 24 hours, and I plan to sleep first," she replied.

She said goodbye to me and to Atlas before going to her cabin room. Because all the people working for Atlas cannot go home, they just stay here. He provided our rooms now.

"We'll be going back to Mexico soon, Atlas?" I asked when I approached him.

He just nodded and put down the backpack he was carrying under the sofa. He gently tapped Oceanus and looked at me before gesturing for us to follow him.

"Yes," he replied. "Follow me to my office room. I need to discuss something important."

Oceanus and I looked at each other when Atlas walked ahead towards his office. He just shrugged at me and stood up too, we went to Atlas' office together and closed it when we got in.

"What are we going to talk about?" I asked and sat in the vacant seat next to his office table.

"We're going to the auction tomorrow night. Ismael has a favor, his niece wants the black star diamond necklace and the dragon's eye pendant. We can only get those two at the auction to be held tomorrow at a private convention near Austria."

"Why does Ismael's niece want that?" Oceanus asked, frowning.

"Actually the mother of his niece owned that. It's just stolen from her when she dies," Atlas replied.

"Are we going to steal that too?" I asked.

"As usual," Atlas replied briefly.

I didn't say anything anymore to his reply. I should get used to them because their work is illegal. Silence once again filled the entire office as Oceanus and I just waited for Atlas to speak.

"I forgot to ask you, Sarah," Oceanus suddenly said. "Do you already have a code name? You're now officially a member of our organization. Your data has been approved and has been updated in our system."

"You need to tell us your code name. I'm talking to Lapetus right now, he can transfer your codename to Pallas so that he can put it in our system that you already have a code name," Atlas continued to talk while typing on his laptop.

I've been thinking of a possible code name for myself since my data was done in their system. Actually, I'm just waiting for them to ask me so I can say it.

"Hexia," I replied.

They both nodded and didn't ask me why I chose that. I just followed their codename that is related to the Greek gods and goddesses. It would be embarrassing if I didn't follow that.
