Chapter One Hundred And Thirty One; Does Water Destroy? Having going through all the stressful process of making sure that the building of the malls was completed in the shortest time possible, LUCAS could now relax a little bit because there were a designated people that were supposed to handle the organization of the launching day which was to hold in a week time. So far now, more products were expected to come in from their partners and suppliers that were bringing the products that had been purchased to be sold in the market. That was why today Lucas did not go to work and decided to heed to the words of his mother which is to go out and have some quality time with her. They were currently seated in a seven star hotel, in the open against the wishes of his mother who dreaded being found out by her husband and father in law.But Lucas believed that the best way to make something is the make it public, once it’s public knowledge, you am an always find your way around it, and mos

Chapter One Hundred And Thirty Four; The Plumbwrs and The Investors “Sir, it seems that there is a big problem somewhere, these pipes are indeed the ones we used, but there seem to be a problem, has there been any form of freezing of the water in the pipes?” The director of the plumbing company asked. Lucas turned around and looked at the manager first, since he isn’t always the one at the store, and so far, he wasn’t aware of any need for the pipes to be frozen, cold products were nit even brought to the store yet as of the moment, but if there’s any reason for that, then the manager would know since he’s in charge of everything so far. Manager Blank shook his head to the right and left, indicating that there was not an instance, “No, we did not use any freezer, don’t tell me your pipe is so bad that it spoil and your are trying to blame it on the store saying we freeze the pipes.” Manager Chu Blank relied defensively. “Well that is what might have happened, we used PVC pipes, bu

Immediately, the manager was sent for, as soon as he came to the front of Lucas, he knelt down and started apologizing. “Sir, you must have mercy on me, please forgive me, I am wrong, I only did it for my family…” manager Chu started weeping. “For your family you let all other families that would have depended on this mall to suffer? Isn’t that a little selfish of you Mr. Blank? What is it that you couldn’t directly talk to me but stab me at the back?” Lucas replied, disappointed that he couldn’t be able to even trust his workers. “Sir my wife is not feeling well, she has a terminal disease and a huge sum of money is needed for the surgery, I can’t be able to pay for it, that’s why when I got an offer just to alternate the temperature, I didn’t think much of it and

Chapter One Hundred and Thirty Seven; Doubting One’s Thoughts.Lucas went back to his seat, expecting Vienna to have been scared, or angry or frustrated, whichever one of it, at least she would probably just leave him be alone, but reserves was the case.She stood up in front of him, collected his drink and approached the other side of his table.“Not in the mood of work ha ha ha ha,” she started laughing all of a sudden.“What do you mean you’re not in the mood of all you had to for crying out loud, many peoples lives depend on you and your actions right now, and here you are trying to be drinking away like a man who has lost his pregnant wife what is the meaning of that?” Vienna looked rather disappointed than angry. Lucas stopped at the sounds of her words, it was true that they were business partners, but her words were just too harsh, how could she compare him to a pregnant woman that had lost her child, was he that low in her eyes. “What do you mean, you know nothing of what I

Chapter One Hundred And Thirty Nine; I Will Tell You.Lucas immediately picked up Henry’s line and dialed it, luckily for him, Henry picked the call after the second ring. “Lucas, I wonder what kind of news you have for me that you are calling me at this time, after what, a month without as much as hi? or could it be even more?” Henry Maxwell answered as soon as he picked the call.“Oh com on, why are you making it sound like I haven’t been trying hard to keep in touch with you considering how busy I am, you ought to know that even a month is a good time to be in communication..” Lucas answered on a light note.“Oh yeah, how can I forget that Mr. CEO is always busy with business, in that case then why do you bother calling me?” Maxwell replied, although he sounded as if he was very disturbed by the fact that Lucas is suddenly a CEO and no longer has the time to be in communication with Horner colleague, LUCAS knew that he was just pulling his leg so he didn’t let the words get to him
