Snowbottle sighed. "Firstly, No crush. It was just some erm... dust in my eyes that made me flustered," He looked away. Not wanting his colt to see that he had just shown fear.
"And secondly, boy! Even if I tell you who she is what do you want to do with such information?"
"Nothing really. I just think it's so cool the way she can use her hair like that. If I am correct, she is an Enhanced right?"
Snowbottle nodded, "She is." He could see the fervent look the boy had in his eyes about this particular topic and couldn't help but shake his head again. Ignorance was indeed bliss.
"Don't worry. I am very sure you have heard about her before. It's just that she has been away from the limelight for a while. At least since she became Mummy's assistant, or have you never heard of the Red-Witch?"
The moment that name was mentioned, Cupfill visibly shook.
Seeing the boy's reaction, Snowbottle felt a bit relieved. "Now you know. Okay! let's go!"
As they moved along, Cupfill could not help but ask, "Teacher! Is it true that the Red-Witch eats blood demon meat? I heard that's why her hear is so red!"
Snowbottle laughed, "Maybe..."
"Also, who is Mummy?"
...
Meanwhile, Adria, Sasha, and Emilia had just entered an elevator. On the right side were rows and columns of buttons to push in numerical order. However, one particular button was different. It was labeled 'P'. Sasha pushed the button and the elevator was in motion.
*cling* The elevator bell chimed and the doors were opened. This floor although still beautiful was different from the ground floor. Of cause, things were organized, but one could say that things were a little too organized. Although it was not the first time he was here, Adria could not help but notice how everything seemed to be in pairs.
The flower pots on each side, the pictures, and artworks hanging on the wall, the fancy tiling on the floor, the bulbs and lamps that lighted the room, the reception desks, the patterns on the clothes of the workers here, and even their name tags that sat on both sides of their chests.
"I see mummy has gotten better. She even had time to redecorate the place." Adria commented sarcastically.
"Redecorate!? You are definitely kidding, right? It has gotten worse. Just last month, the board of directors refused her insane request to have all her employees and workers as identical twins."
"Wow! I rest my case then."
Sasha took them through a series of turns until they got to two twin steel doors. As expected, there were also very identical not just in shape, color, and size but also in design. Adria's sharp eyes noticed that at one corner of the door was a dent and then he noticed that the other corner of the other side of the door was without a dent. Something told him that these pair of doors did not have much longer to remain here once mummy found out.
Sasha opened the doors. This was a private quarter. Unlike the rest of the place which looked more like a place for business, the doors opened to a luxury apartment.
The word 'luxury' was very well used in this place. Every item Adria's eyes caught sight of, could definitely change the lives of the average person and this was not restricted to the deco of the room. Even the two sets of tea cups on the two center tables were no different.
However, just like outside, Everything here was in very identical pairs.
"You guys should wait a bit. Let me tell her you are here. She should still be soaking in the tub." Sasha walked away, with her beautiful long hair trailing behind her.
As she left, the doors behind them opened just in time as Adria was getting comfortable on a couch. It was a short, chubby-looking young man. He had in his hands a tray with a cup with the label 'Latte' on it.
"Oh! Hi there. Sorry! I did not know Dr. Pearl was having visitors. Don't mind me, please. Let me just drop this here."
Neither of them paid him any attention and Adria even brought out a cigarette to his mouth as he laid his legs comfortably on a center table.
The cup of Latte was dropped on the second center table. However, Adria raised his head to the surprised look of the short, chubby guy in front of him. "Hey! You have a problem with me!?"
"Huh! Sorry! Sorry, please. Forgive me. But are you Adria?" He asked
"Hmmm!? If I owe you money, then that will Be a NO! If you owe me money, then maybe!?"
"Oh, my God! I knew it. I knew I recognized that face. I just knew it. Sir! I must say. It is an absolute honor to be able to finally meet you."
Adria was speechless as his right hand was taken and shook energetically. He raised a brow, "Should I know you?"
"Absolutely not Sir. Erm... Sorry I did not introduce myself. My name is Moyo. I am your biggest fan sir. I even have posters of you when you used to be the face for Avalon's Darklings in my room."
This was to Adria the weirdest compliment he had ever received. Why would a guy have pictures of him on his wall? Did he also have naughty thoughts about him when he was jerking off? After all, Adria's pictures would be there when he was engaged in such activities.
Adria did not know whether to say thank you or fuck off.
"Okay!"
Adria brought out a handkerchief to wipe his hand.
"Am so sorry sir. It's just that today is my first day as an intern and I am so nervous. And when I get nervous, My palms become really sweaty. I heard that Miss Pearl already fired all the other interns that came to work for her. And all of them on their first day."
"Yep! Sounds like her alright. You will probably join them soon." Emilia added. "Funny. Your biggest fan and he is also a big loser." She smiled. "You know what they say about mentors. You can only be a copy of them!."
She picked on both of them.
On hearing that, Adria could see that Moyo kept wiping his hands on his clothes vigorously. Apparently, his nervous state had just been promoted a few levels.
*Sigh* Adria couldn't help but frown at Emilia's words. "Hey, Kid. What was your name again!? Mayo, Mayonnaise..."
"Moyo, Sir!"
"Yeah! Moyo. Where you from?"
"North-side Fox-district. Sir!"
"Wait! Did you say North-Side!? As in close to the Hole. That North-side." Adria sat upright.
"Yes, Sir! In fact, during the Blood invasion three years ago, you were the person that saved my life."
