2024-10-29 19:42:56Lucas came out of his small room. He is still in shock after getting the news of his dismissal. Trying to step towards the sofa, also the only chair in their living room. The sound of the door was quite clearly audible at a distance of only two meters from where Lucas was sitting, the door was already open. Showing the figure of a middle-aged woman who still looks young.
"From anywhere—"
"Why, actually, what's wrong with you and Bianca, why can she be with another man?" Lize pushed her son back into a sitting position, she was seen demanding an answer from Lucas.
Did you know that we broke up?' he thought with doubt. 'Or have you seen Bianca with Harry?'
"Can speak so. Do you know anything?" asks Lucas carefully.
"I just got off the phone. I heard Bianca's voice with another man. He said You and Bianca broke up, answer me." With a trembling voice, his eyes were filled with anxiety.
Lucas is down. "Yes, we broke up. She had an affair with Harry."
Lily fell to the floor. "How could it be, how could it be." Clutching the front of his son's shirt. "Wasn't Harry your friend before?" Lize asked furiously.
"You helped him before, didn't you? Why is he like this, he shouldn't be!" angry Lize. "Why are the two people you helped, even doing this depraved thing!"
Lize's tears were heartbreaking to Lucas, it wasn't enough for Harry to make him fall but not Lize.
"All this time, I helped her because she always hoped to have a house for you to live in after marriage. Why did he leave you."Lize said with trembling vocals.
Lucas held Lize's shoulder to look at her. "I mean, what? you give him money?"
"Yes, I gave you the money for your dismissal."
Lucas can't say anything anymore, after draining his property Bianca also has the heart to drain her mother's only property after being fired from the factory.
"Mom, why did you do that?" he asked with sadness, Bianca's treatment of her mother.
"I did it because he always hoped to have a nice home with your children one day. I'm too old to live with you guys, so I hope the money will be used to buy an apartment."
After spilling his frustration it made Lize immediately lose consciousness making Lucas panic enough to take his mother to the hospital.
***
At the time of the condition he was now just fired also did not have a penny of money to hold just pay for a room. While in his grasp there was a piece of paper that read quite nominal Lize treatment.
What can a person do who has no money and has just been fired? Now even found his mother almost had a heart attack as well as a stroke.
During the chaos, Lucas was stunned. "Who should I ask for help?" Lucas looked up, lamenting fate.
"Does anyone want a loan?" she said in a heavy tone almost crying in the hospital corridor.
The biggest name from Luna, her underclass had offered a cooperation that was quite eccentric, right? "Can I use it?" he felt a bit of a sense of pride.
Enough of his problems, Lucas ventured to look for Luna's contacts stored on his cell phone from yesterday.
A voice he knew immediately greeted Lucas, his voice sounding happy.
[So now, you're considering an offer.]
"But—can you spend money on me? I'll try to replace it later."
Lucas recalled that after the call ended, the woman showed up 15 minutes later.
Lucas saw out of the corner of Luna's eye a step closer. "You are here. So you borrowed money because of your mother." folded his arms.
Lucas looked up showing off his blackened-looking eye bags. "I have no hope."
Luna massages Lucas ' eyebrows spontaneously. "Have you eaten?"
"Not yet,"
Luna immediately pulled Lucas towards the hospital canteen. The woman immediately ordered a nutritious menu for Lucas to eat.
"You don't like people losing hope, we will do things that are mutually beneficial," he said with a big smile.
Lucas is holding his breath. "Indeed, what cooperation will you offer by getting a man for you?" he asked back.
Lucas who had just picked up the fries, was surprised to hear it. "We have to get married now!" he exclaimed excitedly.
" What— " Lucas closed his mouth. "Why so hurry," Lucas spoke stutteringly. "I know you're offering an unfair offer. But should it be now?"
What conditions made his former junior want to get married quickly?
Luna smiled a knot. "Because my company will be acquired by LH Tower."
His forehead frowned. "What's the connection?" yesterday's conversation was completely incomplete, Lucas did not expect that it would be this complicated to deal with a rich person.
"Because my father made a stupid offer, he made an offer to the people of LH Tower. That if I marry Hudo, the son of the owner of my LH Tower company will be given back to me." Luna kicked the table angrily, telling a story. "My company has no interference from my father but he arbitrarily makes decisions." Mataya looked fiery.
"Didn't you just refuse?"Lucas is looking for a solution.
"If it were that easy, I would too. After I talked to my lawyer, it wasn't that easy. Because you own 20% of my property, LH Tower also acquired my father's company. Then it is likely that Hudo can get 60% of the shares and I can be expelled from the company that I built myself."
"Judo. Who are you talking about."Lucas feels strange with the name Hudo mentioned Luna.
"Hudo son of the owner of LH Tower."Luna again.
Lucas felt bad, he felt familiar with Hudo. "May I know the picture."
Luna shows the owner of the Hudo name is also the son of the owner of LH Tower. It is quite difficult to find a photo of the figure of a successful businessman, he is quite covered by the media. Luna only showed Hugo the photo after she looked for him at some important event at the office.
"Hu-go?" her lips trembled with eyes showing a variety of emotions. From what Luna catches, Lucas seems to know Hugo.
"You know each other?" curious about that Luna asked.
"He owns LH Tower? Is it Patric Bullo's father?"
Luna is quite surprised to learn Lucas knows the name of the person behind the owner of LH Tower. "You're right. How do you know them? As far as I know, they are quite closed to outsiders, and even the public does not highlight the owner of LH Tower."
Lucas linked hands, he muffled the emotions that began to creep to the surface.
"Why did they become the owners of LH Tower? Wasn't the LH Tower sold to someone else?" a series of direct questions to Luna.
Luna raised both shoulders, signing do not know. "I don't know why they can be the owners of LH Tower. As far as I know, the official owner is dead, the older brother of Patric Bullo. Rumor has it he's in debt."
Veins poked out on the surface of Lucas ' skin, a lot of sentiment made him angry at the news just now.
"Luna, I accept your offer. We will marry as you wish, and I will not complicate your plans." His gaze is full of ambition. 'I have to find out, something's wrong. Lucas wasn't calm. His eyes stared straight ahead.
Luna is happy, of course, that she has a partner to work with, especially Lucas.
"Then we will take care of our marriage first. To be honest, I didn't like the way Hudo took over my business which had been pioneered a long time ago. Because it belonged to my late mother. Not my father."
Lucas is happy to be able to help the ambitious woman in front of him now. "I was also lucky to get your help."
"But about your status, you're alone, aren't you?" asks Luna who just remembered, so that the plan goes well. "I don't want my plans to fail because you have a boyfriend."
Lucas laughed sarcastically. "I'm already completely single."

"Patric he is a greedy man.

Your father didn't know who the rat was in his office. After your father's efforts repaired the company and began to rise again. Patric even repeated throwing tantrums and again lied to your father.

Lucas stood by the window in his study, staring blankly outside. His heart was filled with an anxiety that grew more consuming each day. For a week now, he had been receiving anonymous messages threatening him and watching his every move. The messages came relentlessly, leaving him constantly uneasy and vigilant.“Watch every step you take, Lucas. I am watching.”The first message came via SMS, then through email, and occasionally, a note was slipped under his door.

Lucas quickly answered it, hoping it was good news from Joe.“Joe, any updates?” Lucas asked urgently.On the other end of the line, Joe sighed deeply. “Lucas, we couldn’t identify who sent the terror box. No fingerprints or other identifiable clues. But I’m taking the leftover food in the box to the lab. Maybe we can find DNA traces or origins of the food.”Lucas gripped the phone tightly. “Do whatever it takes, Joe. We need to find out who’s behind this. I can’t let these threats continue.”“Alright, Lucas. I’ll report back as soon as we have something,” Joe said before hanging up.Lucas took a deep breath, trying to calm himself.

He felt a bit guilty for making her worry. Quickly, he typed a short message to let her know that he had arrived safely and was okay.“Sorry, Joe. I should have informed you all earlier,” Lucas said as he put away his phone. “I really didn’t mean to make Luna worry.”Joe nodded, accepting the explanation though still with a hint of doubt. “I just don’t want to see Luna anxious. You know she cares about you a lot.”Lucas gave a thin smile. “Yeah, I know. I care about her too. But sometimes I need time to myself.” It was a defense that rolled off easily.Joe sighed, rolled his eyes, and got up from the sofa, walking towards his bed.“Okay, I get it. The important thing is that you’re here now and you’re okay.”Lucas looked around the luxurious room. High ceilings, dark wood-paneled walls, and marble floors gave an elegant feel.In another corner, there was a large desk with an ergonomic chair, where a contemporary styled lamp provided comfortable lighting.Near the bathroom door, there
