Chapter 32 - Lets Go (1/2)
To say that the waiter was stunned to hear Hecathe would be an understatement. His mouth hung open in awe and his eyes looked to be in disbelief as he looked back at Hecathe.
Hecathe chuckled softly as he shook his head, ”Let's go.”
”Go...? Go where?” The waiter asked absentmindedly.
Hecathe pursed his lips together in a thin line as he looked back at the man and stayed silent for a minute.
”Don't you want to show me where this apartment owned by your aunt is?” Hecathe asked teasingly as he tilted his head.
The waiter gulped as he bobbed his head up and down. He closed his mouth and smiled as he informed, ”Wait for me here. I'll be quick.”
”Huh? Where are you going?” Hecathe asked with a frown on his face.
The waiter turned around and got ready to leave as he glanced back and answered, ”I'll be back, just wait. I'll go and take a short break.”
Hecathe's frown deepened but he nodded his head as he stood in place and waited for the man to return.
In just a few minutes, the waiter came back and this time, he was no longer wearing his work attire.
He was wearing black pants and a grey hoodie, looking much younger and a bit more informal as he walked up to Hecathe.
”You changed clothes?” Hecathe asked as he merely glanced down at the hoodie worn by the man.
The man nodded his head as he informed, ”My boss said that I can take the rest of the day off.”
”Oh.”
”Let's go. Follow me,” The man informed happily as he turned and started walking away.
Hecathe nodded and followed after the man without letting his guard down.
”Brother, I still don't know your name yet,” Hecathe spoke up as he initiated a conversation.
”My name?” The man turned around and stopped in order to walk beside Hecathe as he answered, ”You can call me Zail.”
”Okay.”
”What about you, sir?” Zail asked as he tilted his head and looked at Hecathe.
”My name? It's Heca-” Hecathe immediately stopped as he thought about his answer for a second. He was supposed to be Alphius in this world and at the same time, he was also trying to hide his identity so when he thought about it, maybe giving his real name was the best idea.
”Your name is... Heca...?” Zail repeated in confusion trying his best to remain polite as he heard the name that sounded as if it belonged to a house pet.
Hecathe coughed as he shook his head and informed, ”That's not it. My name is Hecathe.”
”Ah! You have the same name as that madman!” Zail exclaimed immediately and it made Hecathe choke as he questioned.
”What do you mean?” Hecathe asked cautiously as he prayed in his mind for it to not be the 'him' of this world.
”You haven't heard about him?” Zail asked as he looked back at Hecathe enthusiastically.
