The Hitman’s Sunshine

Lily gulped, it's the 'devil'. She said in her mind with her hands still trembling. Raven picked the phone from the girl's hand, turning it off, he said, "You don't want to do that. Now run along and forget everything that happened here, little girl." His voice low and chilly to the bone. _ _ _ Sunshine Meets Grumpy He's a hitman, a hacker, a serpent slithering through the city's underbelly. Not a hero, not even close. The mafia's ghost in the machine, shadows his only companions. Then, there's her. Bookish, buried in debt and dreams, juggling endless shifts and late-night study sessions. Sunflower yellow amidst the grimy alleys, oblivious to the danger lurking beneath her hopeful smile. "Plain," they call her, "basic." But her light, it's undeniable. One fated night, a muttered curse, a stolen glance. Their worlds, oil and water, are destined to collide. Can sunshine melt the frost around a killer's heart? Or will their tangled destinies ignite a storm that consumes them both?

GETTING ACQUAINTED

[Music Recommendation: Sailing (0805) ~ Girl's Generation]

Just like the previous day, Old Bat drove them to the city. First Jason, then Maya, before going back.

Maya ran straight inside Mr. Weston's office just as the man had instructed her yesterday. When she got there, the man was on his way out of his office.

"Good morning, Mr. Weston," Maya greeted the man with a smile on her face.

Mr. Weston touched his face. "Aha! Maya, right. You look better than yesterday. I almost didn't recognize you as the fighter from yesterday," he said, locking his office. "Also, I've had all charges dropped, so you don't need to worry."

"Thank you so much, sir," Maya bowed. She couldn't afford to get into any trouble for now.

"Let's go and get you acquainted with the other staff. The new manager you'll be working with is yet to resume, but he won't tolerate any form of laziness or tardiness," Mr. Weston said, walking in front with Maya behind.
