"Miss Anna," Jack stood beside the car as he called out to Anna with a small smile on his face.
""Uncle Jack!!""" The three friends called out to Jack with a small smile of their own.
"Bye, guys, see you all at the party!" Anna said before parting her ways and walking towards her ride.
Jack opened the door for Anna to take a seat. Anna stepped inside and took her seat in the ride. Jack followed and asked after taking his seat.
"How was your day, Miss Anna?"
"It was fine," Anna said lazily, but soon she beamed.
"Ah, I want to meet my brother today!"
"I'll contact the young master and ask if he can meet you today," Jack said with a nod of his head.
"Okay!" said Anna with a grin plastered on her face.
After reaching her mansion, Anna dashed to her room to get changed. She had worn a long red and black checked skirt, a red T-shirt which fit her perfectly, black boots with red soles, a black jacket with red and white stripes, and her ears were adorned with golden square earrings.
After checking herself out in the full body mirror for a few minutes, she thought.
'Kya! Why am I so cute and beautiful?' (◍•ᴗ•◍)
After a few more minutes of praising herself, she walked out of the room and reached her ride.
"To the emporium!" Anna said with a bright smile.
"Yes, Miss Anna," said Jack while slightly bowing his head.
The duo soon reached A tall, tower-like Emporium rising gracefully, its sleek glass windows reflecting the bustling surroundings. The structure tapers slightly as it ascends, with bold metallic accents adding a modern touch. At the base, wide glass doors welcome visitors into a vibrant shopping space. Decorative lighting wraps around the tower, making it stand out at night. Lush planters and designer benches enhance the stylish entrance area.
Anna walked past the entrance. She began walking towards the elevator, and all of the staff who saw her bowed slightly, acknowledging her presence. Anna nodded towards all of them.
Anna entered the elevator and pressed the button for the top, where her brother's office was.
Moments later, the elevator's door parted with a chime as it stopped. Anna walked out of the elevator and moved towards the door in front. She stopped in front of the door and knocked on it.
"Come in," a voice full of grace and authority came from the other side.
Anna opened the door and walked inside. She looked around, and her gaze landed on large glass windows overlooking the city. A sleek dark wood desk and leather executive chair sit at the centre. Minimalist shelves display awards and decor along the walls. A cosy seating area with plush chairs adds comfort. Soft lighting and subtle metallic accents complete the elegant space.
Then her gaze landed on a handsome man with white hair reaching his shoulders, his blue sapphire eyes were filled with pride, and his stature was like that of a noble. His very presence radiated an aura of peace and calm.
"Anna!!" Damien, the head of Starborne Emporium, called out to her with a delighted expression on his face.
"Brother!!" Anna exclaimed as she beamed after seeing her brother.
Damien stood up from his chair and hugged Anna as he led her to the sitting area. He sat at one of the chairs while patting one beside him, gesturing to Anna to take a seat. Soon, both of them started talking about their day.
Moments passed as they chatted with each other. Anna remembered her talk with Amaya and decided to bring it up.
"Ah, Brother! Do you know about Midnighters?"
"Midnighters?" Damien questioned with a confused look.
"Ah, you know, I heard that there are a few humans who get Superhuman abilities at night, and they call themselves Midnighters," Anna answered. She tried to sound mysterious, repeating what Amaya had told them.
Hearing that, Damien laughed out loud.
"Haha! Yeah, she is right, and I am one of them, you know."
"Hmph, it's fine if you don't believe me, but you don't have to make fun of me like that," Anna said while pouting, seemingly offended by the teasing.
"Haha, sorry! Sorry!" Damien apologized while still chuckling to himself.
Both of them talked to each other for some time before Anna left the room.
Suddenly, the smile on Damien's face disappeared, and his eyes turned cold. He called out.
"Who was it?"
"She was one of Miss Anieal's classmates," a voice came from within the shadows.
"Hmm.. could it be a trap from a Midnighter?"
"I don't think so, young master."
"Hmm.. still check if she is in connection with any Midnighter"
"Yes, young master."
As soon as the unknown person said that, he disappeared from wherever he was
'I can't lose Anna, I won't lose.. not again'
Damien closed his eyes and collapsed on the headrest of his chair.
"Hah.."
