Chapter Twenty One; Go On A Date With Me.When Lucas opened his eyes again, it was already the next morning.As soon as he woke up, he felt a pang of headache, it was as if someone was pounding his head with a giant hammer.He had spent most of the night awake thinking back to the phone call he had with that Geraldine of a lady.After talking with his mom in the evening and finally sending her off on her way back to the Baron residence, Lucas went back to his room to get some rest but he couldn’t.His mind kept going back to the strip club he went together with James and his countenance dropped. He remembered how much he had to suffer to look for that man called Elio, really, it is not a common luxury to be able to meet the rich and powerful especially when you are starting off as a nobody.As he thought about it, his mind inadvertently went to the waitress who deliberately poured a drink on his body and then later shoved her phone number in his hands.He had kept it safe in his poc

Chapter Twenty Three; I Am Fine.Lucas did not find much information about her on social media, but the few he got also gave him that idea that she might be a harmless person as he says.Lucas then decided to rest and forget about it for a while.It’s not easy for him to have an afternoon sleep especially since he had not achieved anything since morning, but he needed to calm himself first and since the sleep was coming, he agreed to sleep.Later in the afternoon, a phone call woke him up from sleep.Lucas woke up to see some missed calls on his phone, along with an incoming call from his mom.He picked up the call.“Hello mom?” Lately, she’s been calling him more frequently and visiting him more than she did back then but he’s not complaining.He actually likes spending time with his mother, for no amount of time he currently spends with her would be enough to recover all those years spent without her.“It’s probably because she knows I am a graduate now and should have much more tim

Chapter Twenty Five; Quest For Mentorship. ‘We’ve already decided at six pm and six pm it must be, I really can’t shift the time up again’.When Lucas read this message, his resolve to be able to juggle the two events shattered, it wouldn’t be possible for him to be at the hotel and also be at the Baron residence at the same time.He would have to think of something else to do to be able to cover the two events.Lucas immediately imputed the address of the Hotel she had sent to him on his laptop and found out that it was located in the greener part of the state.The ‘greener part’ is just a phrase commonly used by the citizens of the state to describe the best part of the state where the rich and luxurious were located. Lucas was slightly surprised that the hotel that Geraldine reserved for them was located in such a fancy place.‘Wow, she must be super rich to be able to afford such a place’ he thought since she was just a mere waitress at the club James took them to.He also could

Chapter Twenty Seven; A Reservation Problem.He picked up his phone and checked in the display screen to check what the time was and to his surprise, it was just twenty minutes past four. So it had taken him twenty minutes to take a shower and dress up like this.“Not bad Lucas!” He praised himself as a satisfied grin spread across his face.He went to switch off his lap top and cover the book he was using before, after neatly stacking them in a good position, he left his room and headed to the living room.James was already waiting for him with a bouquet of flowers in his hand, there was a begonias flower.These sets of flowers are usually given to family members or friends as a way of saying thank you, symbolising gratitude, uniqueness and at times caution.James was trying to communicate to Lucas with the flower as a way of showing his appreciation to his family, but Lucas is not one to understand the meaning of flowers.So when James told him to give it to his family when he rea

Chapter Thirty Nine; Not What I Had Expected.Nonetheless, the man still entered the private room, of course it’s none of his business who she flirts with. He was here for a meal and then he’ll be rewarded with the presence of Galileo.As soon as he finds what he wants, he’ll leave as soon as he comes.“You are a bit early” Geraldine said as soon as Lucas came into her sight of view.She was wearing a magenta deep plunge velvet jumpsuit and had very beautiful hair.She looked very different from the person he had met back in the strip club, she looked more Pres stable and even more beautiful.Lucas shouldn’t help but admit it to himself. Beside her was a very magnificent view of the ocean that could be seen from a floor length widow.As if the interior design of the restaurant was not beautiful enough, the view had to be there, Lucas realised that it’s not just the food that makes the restaurant a high class one, even the environment and the scenery alone is worthy of being a five st
