Ariana entered the gallant sitting room with Malcolm.
“Good night” She smiled.
He only gave a nod before walking away
Ariana sat down, smiling widely. She couldn’t believe she was part of a mafia gang, and on top of that, she had a mission.
How joyful she was.
She was still thinking hard, about it when her stomach grumbled.
“Ouch. I’m so hungry” She muttered, rubbing it.
She perceived the pleasant smell of good and folded her lips. She slowly walked to the kitchen, and peeped.
She watched Malcolm making a light pasta, with minced beef.
“Hmm” She hummed, silently.
Malcolm heard her and turned his gaze at the door.
Ariana widened her eyes, and tried to hurry away but he stopped her.
“You wanna join me?” He asked.
Ariana looked at him, and nodded gently. written by sommy pearl f. on fb
“I’ll need few minute then, to round up. Just wait for me in the sitting room”
“Okay” She answered, and walked away.
She went to the sitting room, and took her phone off the couch.
Malcolm bought her a new phone, recently.
She went online and saw various and numerous news, about M.K aka Malcolm Keepers.
She also saw lots of positive comments about him too.
She looked and saw him, coming towards her with a tray of small pot, two flat ceramic dish, and two chopsticks.
“Get water” He told her, as he landed the tray on the smaller table.
She stood up, quickly and took out as bottle of water and two cups from thr fridge.

“I just found out 2 things about you tonight…” Ariana said, as she chewed her pasta.
Malcolm took his eyes from the soccer he was watching on TV, and looked at her.
“What’s that?” He asked.
“Number 1,, You’re a wonderful cook” She giggled.
Malcolm gave a quick smile, and focused on the filled chopstick he was holding.
“And whats the number 2?” He asked.
“I’m just knowing for the 1st time, that you’re a celebrity. Wow. Does it mean, I’m staying in the same place with a celebrity? Gosh,,, Its a big privilege”
“Anyways, You need to be careful. Stalkers and paparazzos could be around. I wouldn’t want to see a news, that I stay with a female, please”
“I’m gonna be extra careful. I know how Celebraties lives are…Can I ask a question?”
Malcolm looked at her and nodded.
“For how long, will i stay with you?”
Malcolm looked at her face before taking his gaze away.
“The moment we contact your family”
“Oh…Okay then. By the way, I’m a huge fan of your music. Whenever I was bored or alone, Cindy always gave me your music to listen to. Surprisedly, just like magic, your voice, your lyrics…They always soothed me”
Malcolm smiled at this statement.
“I’m always your fan. Therefore, I’m a co-keeper! That’s your fandom name, right?” She asked, checking her phone.
“I see you just searched that online?”
She smiled, widely.
“Entertainment news are updating that you already confirmed to make a guest appearance at a kiddies variety show. You talked about it, today at the hideout”
“Yeah. Its next week” He told her.
“I’ll definitely watch you”
“Your choice” He smirked.
“Mister?” She whispered.
He slowly looked at her. He wanted to correct the ‘Mister’, but it was a bit useless since she never listens.
“Thank you” She smiled, gently.
“….For?”
“Everything. You placed a roof over my head, bought me a nice phone, and cooked a wonderful dinner for me. I’ll be forever grateful for your nice deeds”
He sighed and stood up.
“Eat without me”
“Huh? Why?”
“I just lost my appetite” and with that, he left to his room.
THE NEXT DAY**
“We all know the plan, right?” Malcolm asked.
“Yeah…” Everyone nodded.
“Rhoda acts first” Malcolm stated.
“Sure” She nodded.
“What’s the name of the cafe again?” She asked, Oliver.
“Ming Coffee Shop. Its close to Stars Laboratory… That’s where Miss Jung Hee will be very soon” Oliver said.
Miss Jung Hee is the lady, Ariana would be impersonating. She’s a lab scientist and works at Stars Lab (Gina’s mom, Mrs Woods laboratory).
Jung Hee is just as tall as Ariana, and also as slim as her, but not that much.
She had the perfect hair like Ariana, though Jung Hee own is a bit shorter.
And, Jung Hee is more busty than Ariana.
“So, now, You gotta go to the coffee shop-
“I know, boss. I know what I gotta do. I know the plan” Rhoda winked, and left.
“Be careful” Malcolm mumbled.
Rhoda smiled.
“I will…”
