Dr. Zen's POV
Seriously this kid never changes does he? I thought to myself while looking at Midnight's disappearing figure while heading to his uncle's office.
"Hey Midnight, wait for me." I called out to him but he just ignored me. This kid is indeed handful but then again he's talented and he's my boss's niece. I can't do anything about
"Midnight are you just going to ignore me? I'm the one who escorted you in this building. It's rude not to talk you know?" Midnight stops from walking and looked at me with a deadly glare. Ugh this kid is utterly terrifying. If I didn't work for his uncle he would have definitely killed me already.
"What do you want from me?" He asked me with a cold gaze and in a very sharp tone. I sigh and shook my head into disagreement.
"Calm down okay? I know you hate being around people but would it kill you to control your temper? Remember you're the boss's niece. He just wants to talk to you about something important okay? No need for those glares and cold sassy attitude" I said to him calmly hoping he would listen to me. I don't want to fight him. Kid or Not Midnight is Midnight. If he's pissed he won't show no mercy to anyone. Even family.
"You don't have to tell me what to do Dr. Zen. I know who I am better than you nor anyone. You're not in the position to be doing what you please so learn your place." He said to me with no emotions. I felt chills as I looked into his eyes. He's really serious
"Do you hate me that much Midnight? Ever since you got here, you kept on glaring at me and give me a cold shoulder" I said to him curiously
He looks at me in silence then opened his mouth to speak, "I don't hate you Dr. Zen. I just simply hate being around people. Especially those people who work with my uncle and himself"
I sigh again, "Alright, I get it. I won't pester you but please let me take you to him. I'm his trusted aide after all" I said to him calmly and secretly hoping for him to agree to what I just said.
"All right. Take me to my uncle" He said and I walked ahead of him and opened an elevator at the end of the hall
"Go ahead, you need to touch the fingerprint scanner here at left switch before going inside" I told him and he nodded.
Midnight pressed the button and it started to scan him. After a min or two a green light blinked as an acknowledgement that Midnight has been scanned. Before we could enter the elevator we hear heels tapping at the other end of the hall. We stopped and looked it was Dr. Zithea
"Zithea? What are you doing here?" I asked her curiously, isn't she supposed to be on a break right now?
"The boss called me and said I have to come with you guys in the office" Dr. Zithea said with a bore tone as if she didn't wanna come to see the boss. She scanned her fingerprint then we all went inside the elevator. I pushed the button for 10 secs and the secret floor button appeared and I pushed it.
"Hmph never knew you got closer with uncle already Thea" Midnight stated coldly while his eyes are full of boredom.
"Now now that's not how you greet your cousin Night" Dr. Zithea stated with a mischievous grin and provoking Midnight
"You annoying brat, stop talking you still owe me something" Midnight said with a glare
"Yea yea I'll replace your console. Sheesh you're rich you don't need me to be doing that" Dr. Zithea said then rolled her eyes as a sign of annoyance
"Hmph You better do or else I will never talk to you again" Midnight said to her
"Whatever you say Night" Dr. Zithea said obviously bored
That's right. These two are cousins. Dr. Zithea Hidalgo, one of the youngest doctors who graduated in Harvard University. She possess many skills and talents just like her cousin Midnight but I think everyone who knows their family is aware that Midnight is a special case. Because unlike her, Midnight is superior to all compared to others. Which makes him an irreplaceable prodigy and unmatched in any field in the world. He's liked by others but he doesn't trust them because he knows no matter what era humans live in, there would always be a struggle for power in the family like theirs. Though I'm pretty sure Midnight can handle us all alone.
After a few minutes we finally arrived outside their uncle's office. I gently knocked on the door and called him out, "Sir? It's Zen, I'm with your nieces right now. May we come in?"
The door opened and the person who came into our view wasn't the boss but rather his Secretary Vera Williams.
She smiled at us then bowed at the sight of Midnight and Zithea. Well they're pretty much like the heirs.
"Welcome back Midnight, it's been a while. You too Zithea, you're always here in the headquarters yet for some reason I don't see you around" Vera said to them
"Humph I'm not interested on being here" Midnight said to her coldly while Zithea was laughing silently
"I'm busy Vera now leave Midnight alone you know how much annoyed he already is" Dr. Zithea said to her
Vera shook her head and let us all in and made them sit at the sofa while I went to my own chair.
"Well then where is Uncle he called me back here yet he has the nerve not to show up" Midnight said to Vera
"He's in a meeting right now, he'll be out in a few minutes so why don't we eat some snacks?" Vera said to him with a smile
"I don't want to, I want to see him right now. I did not come here to waste my time Vera" Midnight said to her
Before Vera can respond the boss's study room opens and he walks out
"You never change do you Midnight? It's been awhile my dear niece" He said amusingly
Midnight's aura changed, it became much colder
"It's been awhile Keir Leggièri"
