"Your father told me you'd like to go into investment," Director Edward announced as the two drove back to the mansion after the emergency was dealt with. "What part of the business do you wish to do?""I really haven't given it much thought," Lut confessed. "All this is still new and strange to me. I'm still trying to wrap my head around my new reality."Director Edward hummed knowingly, he stopped the car at the red light and looked towards Lut who was still looking outside. "You have enough time to think about it. But for the time being, why not follow me around?""Most of your father's business is managed by me, I can show you a way around the business for a few months before you make a decision on what to do," Edward suggested.Lut turned to Edward, a flicker of curiosity in his eyes. "Is that even allowed? Won't it bring trouble to you if you bring me along with you?"Edward chuckled, easing the car forward as the light turned green. "Of course. Your father entrusted me with muc

“It was nice to see you again, Lut. Having you present in the meeting, I'm certain that you must have grabbed a thing or two.”Lut paused outside for a moment, enjoying the chilly night breeze.To him, the shock of being the son of a man who had such a vast estate and a company that was worth billions of dollars hadn't worn off.Even now, after he was told that he was going to handle a project that would have been given to a professional, anybody other than him who had little or no experience, he was still in awe of how fast his life had changed for the better.“Same here, director Edward. The challenge, everything about the company excites me, you know.”“ Oh, you bet,” Director Edward chipped in. Dressed in a tuxedo and Italian leather shoes, he definitely looked the part.“I can't tell you how excited I am that you are the one in charge of the fast food project. We've never done anything like this before. But the board members were impressed with you, so why not give it a try?”Ha

As Lutenant left the house that he had come to call his own that morning, he felt overwhelmed by how fast things were moving for him. Last night after showing him the house, his father had handed him a car key, the keys jingling in his hand as he transferred the ownership of the Range Rover that had transported them to the house to him.He could barely find the words to thank his father after that.“This is too much..dad.”His father had smiled after he said that, the skin around his eyes crinkling as he did so.“It's not too much, Lut. For the past few years of your life, you've been battered by life, friends and even your peers. I've watched from the background, and to tell you the truth, you deserve everything that is happening to you now. Even more.”A few minutes later after his father left in an Uber, he stared at the house for close to five minutes, unable to move, unable to do anything at all.A few days ago, he had been ridiculed by the woman he loved most, her new found bo

“You know that if this works out, your father will have a list of companies waiting for you to control, right?”They were on the road, in the company car, but this time around, it wasn't driven by Hubert. The driver was a stone faced bald man, whose nostrils seemed to flare anytime the car gathered speed.Lutenant shook his head in the negative, telling director Edward that he had never thought about it before.“I've never thought about it that way. I just saw this as a challenge, and wanted to see what I could do. I never knew that this is a stepping stone to another job?”“It's more than a stepping stone, Lut. With this project, you're going to go places that you've never dreamt of. I trust you. Selecting aurora made me know that you know what you're doing.”Lut shrugged before speaking.“Well, she was the first person that came to mind. I was extremely impressed by the way she carried herself the day we met. I couldn't resist the thought of having someone like that on my team.”A f

“Good evening, sir.”After the visit to Déjà Vu, Lut and director Edward had sat down to taste if the chicken and chips prepared by the fast food was reminiscent of the name.Indeed, it was.The chicken was well prepared, and so were the chips. He wanted to taste other meals as well, but director Edward had whispered into his ears along the line that he had a meeting in a few hours.And they had left the fast food that they came to buy without making enemies, but making a friend instead.From Déjà vu, they had returned to the consortium.Lut wanted some time alone, to look over the files, to think about his plans towards the taking over of the fast food he had just visited, and how he was going to perfect the improvement and the upgrading of the place.That was until Aurora had popped out of nowhere, her brilliant smile and her polite tone making him pause whatever thinking he was doing.“Aurora. Good to see you. I was about to call you. How are you? How did the meeting go?”Aurora's
