Jellal pushed the door of Blue Thread Apparel slowly. The store was empty. He looked around, tried to search for Juvia.
"Boss!"
Juvia just entered the store. She led the man to the counter.
"What can she do for you?" she asked.
Jellal smiled a bit.
"From the text I received yesterday, I thought you have something for me," he said. "I need you to continue our mission. You'll…"
"How about Levy? She got Redfox, didn't she?" she cut in.
"Levy left."
The room contented with silence for a while.
"Then, what can she do?" she asked.
He gave a picture. A man with long, silver hair.
"Who is this?" she asked, took a long glance at the picture.
"Another entrance to Hades." The girl glanced at him. "He's a womanizer, so be careful. But I know you can handle him well."
"Why now? Why was he not in our first meeting?" she asked. "Why she?"
"You knew something I don't know." She glanced at him again before turned her eyes away. "One more thing, please be very careful. I won't be around." She nodded. "Give me a call if you need me." She nodded again.
He stared at her, but she kept her eyes to the picture. Then he went to the door and left quietly.
:D *** :D
Levy gawked the moment she stepped in. The place was very neat and tidy. And spacious. And luxurious. Gajeel chuckled.
"Come in. Or you want to sleep outside?" he asked.
Levy had gone speechless.
"I'm sorry. Grown up in the orphanage, jailed for two weeks. Living in this kind of place…Never crossed my mind that I'll live here."
Gajeel pulled her by her hand and sat her on a sofa.
"So you like it here?" he asked.
"Hell, yeah!"
"You grew up in the orphanage?"
Levy gulped.
"Yes. My parents died in an accident. And I had no relative," she explained.
"With your brother?"
"I don't want to talk about him. But…yes. With him." She heard him chuckled. "It's not funny!"
"Okay, okay. What about the two-week-jailed?" he asked.
She snorted.
"I was being a little bit naughty. I trespassed into government database system twice. I'm still under parole."
He laughed louder.
"A lot of guts in a small package," he said. She nudged his rib, made him screamed out of pain. "You're so damn clever. Why work at the library?"
He couldn't stop laughing.
"No one would hire underage girl."
His laugh gotten wilder made his eyes watered.
"You should show them you ID," he said, while holding his stomach.
"They didn't want to risk anything. Some even think that my ID is fake."
Gajeel clutched his stomach. His laugh never died down.
"It's not funny, Gajeel." She nudged him again. "Since you can afford this luxurious penthouse, it won't hurt to hire a girl like me."
He stopped laughing instantly. He glared at her, which she returned the glare.
"You don't have to work. You're my girlfriend," he said, leaned comfortably to the sofa.
Levy leaned to his arm.
"I'm not that kind of a girl that would only sit and watch," she said.
"Okay. I'll see if there's any available position." He put his arm around her neck.
