'I should talk to them about throwing a small party for their neighbors. I don't want them to be always coop up inside the mansion. They should at least have friends around here now that they're living in the city' Michael thought, while he observed the gardener who's walking towards him with a wary look on his face.
"Hello, can I help you?" the gardener said while looking at Michael from head to toe.
Michael smiled at the bald dark skinned man in front of him, "Hey there, I haven't seen you before. I'm Mike, the owner...I mean I'm the son of the people who owns this place"
"Ohh I see. The name's Daniel sir. I was just hired a few days ago as the gardener and handyman here" the man called Daniel smiled widely as both men shook each other's hands.
"I see, are you from around here?" Michael asked, curious at this person who was able to pass the assessment of those picky people living inside the mansion.
"Ahh, yes. I live two blocks away from this neighborhood with my family" Daniel laughed heartily, as he felt that the man in front of him seems easy to talk to like the others.
"I see. Well then, I'll go ahead as I don't want to hold you up on your work anymore" Michael smiled.
"Yes, have a great day" Daniel nodded while smiling.
"You too sir" Michael smiled along with a chuckle.
"It seems the folks in this place is easy to get along with" Danile smiled as he went back to his work of trimming the plants, while feeling that he would be working here for a very long time.

"I didn't expect that you guys would hire a gardener" Michael said to Viper and Tony who are busy binge watching their favorite show.
"Go talk to the others at the back. We're busy" Tony said, while waving her hand for Michael to go away from them, while her eyes are still focused on the show in front of them.
"Hmmp!" Michael snorted, and did as he was told and went to the backyard.
"Michael, you're here!" Miya laughed, who was busy playing around the pool when she saw Michael coming out of the back door.
"What are you guys doing?" Michael said the moment he laid his eyes on the long table filled with food and utensils standing on the grassy lawn. Genesis and Monk who are busy grilling meat on the barbecue grill, while Robin is busy cooking something on the pot and Circle who's slicing some vegetables with immense speed, who's even better than those so called professional chefs.
"Party tonight! Don't forget to come, our neighbors will be coming too!" Miya laughed as she got out of the pool in her bikini, which made Michael raised an eyebrow seeing this lady who's still beautiful despite her age.
"Why didn't you guys tell me anything about this?" Michael said as he walked over towards the men who are busy doing all the cooking.
"We just decided about it an hour ago" the men laughed.
"And why is Viper not here helping you guys?" Michael asked while pointing back at the house.
"It's because we lost the bet" Miya said as she came over with a towel covering her lower body.
"What bet?" Michael was suddenly confused.
"Hmmp! Viper managed to get laid with that single mother next door and now both of them are seeing each other" Genesis snorted, annoyed at the thought that Viper got himself a woman before him after they arrived here.
After all, he was known as the ladies man among them.
"Yeah, I didn't expect him to finally find love here after his scandalous divorce with his ex wife!" Circle said with a creepy laughed, as his speed at slicing the vegetables had suddenly went up a notch.
"What!? What the heck! What are you guys talking about!? How come I suddenly don't understand shit!?"
Michael became even more confused, as he remembered that Viper still hadn't gotten over his divorce with his s.l.u.t of an ex wife.
"It means Viper had finally gotten over his ex wife and found another love next door" Miya laughed, as she sat down on the pool lounge chair beside them.
Even though the men are grumbling outside, they still felt happy about their friend who finally finding another love and getting over his ex wife who cheated on him multiple times, and where they had always wondered why this venomous assassin who gained his moniker as the Viper for poisoning his targets...hadn't killed his ex wife yet in anger.
Because if it were them, then they would certainly kill her if they were in his shoes and feed her to the sharks.
"And you guys didn't know about it?" Michael was suddenly suspicious. After all, just like himself, these group of friends of retired assassins are also nosy as hell.
"Hmmp!" All of them just snorted and didn't say anything.
'Tsk! You guys certainly knew about it but pretended that you guys didn't know anything in front of him'
Michael laughed inside, as it would certainly be weird if these people didn't even try to look into it the moment they noticed that Viper was acting weird.
"Is she clean?" Michael asked, referring if she has a clean background, and at the same time, he also started helping out.
"She is, we already had someone look into her. Her name is Olivia Murphy, from the Republic of Eire, she took residence in this country five years ago. Single mother of two and she's also a famous defense lawyer in the country" Miya answered his inquiry.
"Seriously!?" Michael suddenly raised his voice and looked at every single one of them with disbelieving eyes.
"You guys haven't forgotten who we are, right?" Michael said in a low voice that only them could hear.
"As long we don't tell her, then its fine" Robin said as he shrugged his shoulders.
"You guys are are crazy!"
""Exactly!""
"F*ck!"
Genesis and the rest laughed, feeling that it wasn't a big deal at all!
