After walking for a few minutes while chatting, both Jojo and Freya arrived at the fast food restaurant and took their seats at one of the tables in the corner near the glass window.
"Good evening, sir. How may I assist you?"
One of the female waiters asked, handing Jojo a menu.
"Um... I want one chicken burger, french fries, and a Coke,"
Jojo ordered, then passed the menu to Freya.
"Give me mochi,"
Freya said, glancing at the menu briefly before ordering.
The waiter nodded, took the menu, and left.
"Why are you looking at me like that?"
Jojo asked awkwardly, unable to ignore Freya's intense gaze.
"Well, I was wondering..."
Freya spoke but was interrupted by two waitresses.
"Sir, are you by chance Jojo, the founder of 'All Entertainment'?"
One of the waitresses asked nervously, while the other one stared at him.
"Yeah..."
Jojo nodded in confusion.
Hearing his confirmation, both waitresses froze, their eyes widening in shock.
'Who are these girls? Geez, I was about to make my move by teasing him, and here they come, spoiling my perfect moment. Calm down, Freya... calm down. You are not Klaus; control your rage,'
Freya thought, feeling annoyed and narrowing her eyes at the woman before regaining her composure.
"Kya…"
"Ahhhhh…"
The two waitresses snapped out of their stupor, screaming and cupping their cheeks, their faces red with excitement.
"Kya~ it's him, Remi. Can you believe it?"
One of the waitresses exclaimed, hugging her friend.
"Yes, Amy, didn't I say it's him? You didn't believe me. I saw him once when my friend took me to the shooting set of 'Home Alone' to meet her father,"
Remi replied with a smirk.
"What are you girls doing here? Don't disturb our customers,"
The original waitress, who had taken Jojo's order, returned with their food and reminded them sternly.
"Sorry, ma'am. Sir, if you don't mind, can we take a picture with you?"
Amy apologized and asked Jojo nervously, her eyes pleading.
"Sure, sure,"
Jojo agreed with a wide smile, feeling pleased that someone had recognized him as a fan.
'Damn, Charlie, do you see? I got fans,'
he thought happily.
Jojo stood and posed with the two waitresses for a picture.
"Ma'am, if you don't mind, can you click a few pictures?"
Remi handed her mobile to Freya, who took it in confusion and asked her to click a few photos of them with Jojo.
Crack...
Hearing Remi's request, Freya's eyes widened in shock, and the mobile in her hand cracked.
"What... my phone? Damn, my father's gonna kill me,"
Remi exclaimed, taking her mobile phone from Freya hurriedly and leaving the place, followed by Amy, who was consoling her.
After the two left, Jojo started eating the food while Freya ate the ice cream she ordered.
Suddenly, Jojo's mobile rang.
Seeing it was Rosalie calling, Jojo picked it up.
"Hey, babe... what are you doing?"
Before Jojo could answer, the voice on the other side interrupted him, sounding irritated.
"Rose... I miss you... I was feeling hungry, so I came to eat in one of the fast food restaurants here,"
Jojo replied, smiling weirdly and trying to coax her with sweet words.
"Don't think I don't know what you're doing there. Aren't you there with the woman named Freya on a dinner date? Hump... thinking you can fool me,"
Rosalie's anger subdued slightly, but her next sentence made Jojo choke.
Cough... cough...
"Sigh~ I'm here at your place. Sara received a new complaint, so I thought I'd come to accompany you. I won't take no for an answer, Jojo. Believe me,"
Rosalie said, cutting the call before Jojo could respond.
In Forks, at Jojo's house...
After some chatting, Rosalie revealed the reason for her call was a new case Sara had received. Rosalie, desperate to find a reason to visit Jojo, took the opportunity and called him.
Before arriving at Jojo's house, Rosalie went to Alice's room but was greeted by a portrait Alice was drawing, showing Ben eating with a woman at a dinner table happily.
Annoyed by the sight, she decided to participate in the next case and cut the call before Jojo could reply.
In France...
Sigh...
Seeing that Rosalie knew Freya was with him, Jojo sighed defeatedly.
'Alice must have told her or she must have seen the portraits Alice drew,' he thought.
Jojo got up and walked to the washbasin to wash his hands.
After finishing their dinner, Jojo and Freya left the fast food restaurant.
While walking, Jojo called Sara, who was currently connected to his phone and asked her to send the details of the new case to his mobile.
After getting the full information Sara received from the client, Jojo started reading the case with narrowed eyes, looking serious.
Seeing Jojo immersed in reading, Freya didn't disturb him.
'He seems absorbed in the documents, which seem important. Sigh~ I want to ask who he spoke with on his mobile. According to the conversation, they must be close. It must be one of his mates... Why am I even thinking about whom he speaks with? Huh... It's for Hope... yeah, it's for Hope,'
Freya convinced herself.
Case Details:
Client Name: Louis Creed.
Case Details: It's my fault. I shouldn't have done it. I have made a grave mistake... I thought I could bring my daughter back, but the one who returned was not my daughter. It was a demon in my daughter's skin. Please reply as soon as you guys receive this case. I don't know when she will do anything to my family. I shouldn't have buried her in that damn pet cemetery.
Contact Details: *************
Case Registered: Successfully...
After reading the case, Jojo knew how dangerous that pet cemetery was.
He didn't hesitate to call the number in the report.
"Can I read it?" Freya asked, curious about the serious expression on Jojo's face.
Jojo handed his mobile to Freya for her to read the case details.
"Interesting... According to the information provided here, he somehow resurrected his dead daughter, but instead of his real daughter, a demon took her place in her body. Huh..."
Freya became intrigued.
"Can I tag along? It seems interesting..."
Freya asked, intrigued.
"Sure,"
Jojo nodded, trying to call Louis again, hoping to instruct him not to do anything stupid until he arrived.
