Iris' POV

'Iris? Where did you put the papers that Mr. Smith handed you?'

|At your drawer.|

'It wasn't here. Where did you put it Iris? For heaven's sake! It's very important!'

|But it's just at your drawer.|

'I haven't seen any papers in here Iris!'

|I'm pretty sure it's just somewhere in your office.|

'Come here, you should find it.'

|I'm.. Sorry but I have a lot of things to do this evening. Hope you'll understand.|

'The fvck Iris! Are you serious? You're my personal assistant you should be here or else I'll fire you.'

She sigh |Okay okay, I'll be there at 11 pm.|

'You should be.'

I didn't knew where she put the files that Mr. Smith gave to her and I needed it. She's my assistant, therefore, she should be here everytime I needed her.

I want to drink coffee so I asked Anne Smith and Luke Cortez my new barista to make me coffee.

I heard my maids talking about the newly opened eleven food stools in the baywalk and the very fresh air. I'm curious how the food taste like. So I decided to go there. It was my very first time eating cheap foods. And I want to treat myself with the very fresh air to reduce my stress.

I was sitting in the table and a girl approached me.

"Hi Sir Zeus Hawthorne. May I take your order sir?" Everybody here had

"Uhmm.. California maki, dumplings, wasabi, ramen, vegetable salad...."

I wasn't able to finish what I've talked when the girl talked.

"Uhmm. Sorry to tell you this sir but maybe you're in the wrong place?" she grinned.

"Oh.. I thought.."

"We only serve Vada Pav,  tandoori chicken, aloo tikki, kebabs, barf gola, egg bhurji, sev puri, bread omelette, chole bhature, bhel puri and hotdogs."

"I want bread omelette, egg bhurji, kebabs, barf gola and hotdogs."

"Okay sir. For the drinks?"

"Uhmm do you have cold coffee?"

"Of course sir."

"Just wait for 2 minutes and your food will be serve."

"Thanks."

I was about to get my phone from my pants pocket but it wasn't there.

Holy shit! I forgot to bring my phone! I closed my eyes and feel the very fresh air.

I was bored a bit so I roamed my eyes around the place. I saw some couples, children running and I saw...

What the fuck??!!!

I'm very sure it was Iris. I knew his fat body. I saw her laughing with.. The hell?!! She's with my bodyguard Bob Johnson! They were dating! She lied! She said she have many things to do. Maybe she was referring to this. What a bitch! She gave more time for that fvcking date with that fvcking Bob than looking for the file that Mr. Smith gave to her?! Those fat jerks!

Watch out Iris. I laughed devilishly.

"Here's your food sir."

"Here." I handed a hundred dollars.

"Woahh, thanks Mr. Zeus."

I ate the food and it taste really good. This was my first time eating this kind of foods. I kinda love it. I ate heartily. And drank my cold coffee.

I'm full so I decided to go home.

Iris' POV

"Hey Iris." Bob tapped my shoulder.

"Oh bob."

"Are you going with me later?"

"Yeah."

"Oh really? That's good!" I saw the excitement in his eyes.

"Well.. I have to go. I have a lot of things to do."

"See you later Iris." he smiled.

"See ya!"

At exactly 7 pm, I arrived at the place. I saw Bob sitting at the chair and there was a vacant chair way opposite to him. I approached him.

"Oh hi Iris you're here finally." he smiled at me.

"Yeah." I smiled back.

"Pretty huh." he beamed.

"Whew."

"What do you want to eat? Do you want to eat balut? or kwek kwek?"

"What's that? Haven't heard that word before."

"Secret... Figure it out."

"Okay? I'm excited."

"I'm sure you'll like it."

Bob ordered balut, kwek kwek and cola.

"Here. Taste this."

I ate balut. It's kinda weird but It taste good.

"How's the taste?"

"I love it." I smiled.

"Try this kwek kwek. "

In fairness, it taste really good. I love it.

"How's the taste?"

"It taste so so good."

"Glad you love it."

We talked about ourselves. We shared stories of our lives.

"Thanks for the treat Bob but I have to go. Zeus called me. He said I should be there at 11 pm."

"Okay. Take care. See you tomorrow." he smiled and waved his hand.

I went to Zeus' private mansion.

Ding. Dong....

It's strange seeing Zeus' mansion without lights. And no security guards. A fear sensation overwhelmed me.

I tried to open the gate and it did!
I sneaked in and when I'd got inside tha mansion, Iturned on the light but I found no one. I went to Zeus' bedroom. For sure he's in his bedroom, sleeping. I turned on the light and I found a... !

Ghost!!

"Arrgggggghhhhhh!!!!" I screamed at the top of my lungs.

The face was so scary like hell! I ran outside. And I found another scary ghost with no head!

Ohh God!! Help me!!!

Stupid me went to the 3rd floor. I saw a lot of scary ghost. I had a phobia about ghost when I saw some at the bathroom for real when I was still seven years old. I thought it's just a scary stories told by our parents.

I ran and fell off the ground. I hurt my back. I could sense that I had a rapid heartbeat.

"Shit!" I heard a familiar voice.
