Chapter Thirty Two; Not Yet Ready For HimLucas’s eyes darted in the crowd to look for the only person he was comfortable with at the place, but he couldn’t find Melissa anywhere.So there was only one thing left for him to do, to approach his father who was the host of the event. He wanted to greet him and show himself to the man for he thought, “Maybe Patrick didn’t see me that’s why he didn’t mention me” he tried to deceive himself as he approached Patrick.But before he could reach him, a woman suddenly came out from the direction that Melissa had left earlier and announced that food was ready.“Everyone should move to the big dining room “ the woman called out and the people complied. Even Patrick.Lucas hurried to catch up with Patrick but Patrick didn’t notice that someone was approaching him and just turned and went towards the direction of the dinning.“Hey, if you want to congratulate him Just wait after the meal and do it” one of the guests there whom Lucas didn’t know sud
Chapter Thirty Four; The Real Barons“Why did you bring this big to this event when you clearly know my stance?” Patrick asked as soon as the house was empty of the guests and only the three of them remained there.“Because… because, I just wanted him to witness what it felt like in the Baron residence and experience it even just once” Melissa answered him truthfully.She had hoped that since there were a lot of people present, Patrick wouldn’t send Lucas away because she knew he would think about his image, what would people say if he had sent someone away from his party even if they did or did not know it was his son.“Are you trying to make everyone doubt this family’s perfection?” Grandpas Baton suddenly entered the house and looked at Melissa very angrily.“Is that your motive? Then it will not work, you will only disgrace yourself at the end of the day if something happens and turns out to be chaotic do you hear me?.”“No sir, that is not definitely what I meant, that’s why I d
Chapter Thirty Five; Lucas And The Long Endless Drive.She dialled Lucas’s number for the third time already. it kept ringing but he was not answering it.Melissa was sad thinking that it may be her fault this time, she had made her son feel sad.But she knew that with time he’ll understand why he was doing what she had to do because there’s little doubt that when the two; father and son spend some time in the same vicinity with each other, their hearts will slowly open up to each other, especially that of Patrick.But for now, she thought that he probably needed some space. That's why he refused to pick her call, it was a normal human cat right? she didn’t paster him too much.“I am sorry if today didn’t turn out well son, but I promise you that next time it will be better, don’t take your dad to heart okay? Sleep early, good night” Melissa texted Lucas and waited for a few minutes expecting a reply from him.But after ten minutes and he still didn’t say anything to reply to her mess
Chapter Thirty Six; On A Bus After A while Lucas left the house in a hurry, he didn’t bother to take the car with him.“Aren’t you going out with the car? Where are you going this early morning?” James had asked him when he saw him barging out of the house early in the morning.But Lucas didn’t have much time to explain it to James.“I’ll explain when I come back” he said.“Well shouldn’t you at least carry the guards that your mom has arranged for you? Even if it was one of them?” That was James’s way of reminding him that he still lived in heart and sometime, the world might be a dangerous place for a young man such as him to be walking out early in the morning. But he seemed to have forgotten that before he met this somewhat comforting riches that his mother gave him by providing him a big house in one of the safe part of the state.And the provision of privileges such as a car and even personal body guards of his own, Lucas had lived in the trenches and could be able to defend
Chapter Thirty Seven; You Do Look Beautiful.Lucas looked at his phone again when he noticed the Line, he saw that it had shown red right where he was supposed to drop before it started showing red line instead of green.Lucas then realized that he had mixed his bus stop.What would he do now? He checked the next stop for the bus he was currently in and saw that it was still a long distance away.After calculating that he would have to wait for another bus again to bring him back to his destination, he felt like it would be too time wasting for him.Ai he was left with no other option than to alight at the very place he was, it would be easier for him to go back to the stop and walk to the place he was going.Lost at what next time do, he stood up and walked to the front of the bus.The bus driver, an elderly woman was was easily on her fifties, wearing a bus that bus drivers usually wear was driving the big bus.“Good morning ma!” Lucas politely greeted her.Although she wondered why
Chapter Thirty Eight; Home Of Bees.“Home of Bees!” That was what was written on the sign board.Lucas looked at what would probably give him one of the greatest opportunities in his life and entered through the small gate in between the short fences.Lucas entered and saw a very beautiful flower garden in the enclosure.There was a variety of flowers from lavender, bee balm, blanket flower and a lot of flowering herbs, including berries and many other flowering fruits and vegetables.Somehow, the owners of the place were able to have at least a bunch of these flowers in the enclosed surrounding that ended up giving a very beautiful view and at the same time creating a great scenery.If someone was an emotional being and would easily get worked up and anxious, then just looking at this view would easily calm the person down and reset all the nerves that had been tampered.And right in the centre of the enclosed place was a giant mason bee house.There were other beehives around and Lu
Chapter Thirty Nine; What Else Are You Passionate About?“Where else? I’m taking you to Elio Galileo of cause” Vienna said and continued dragging Lucas to go with her.When Lucas heard her mention Elio’s name, he was no longer hesitant, but he let her drag him along until they reached the entrance of another hut.Vienna stood in front of the door and knocked twice before she opened the door and pushed Lucas in first.He was still yet to recover from the push when she entered and went straight to hug the only other person inside the room apart from the two of them and another man in black suit who he figured was probably a guard.Lucas thought that Vienna is too huggy today if that’s even a word.But the man, unlike him, turned around and hugged her back, his arms landed on her back and he even patted her a little before he let go of her.“I see today you’ve brought a friend” the man turned around and looked at Lucas up and down.Lucas felt like he was under a big seat in the man’s scr
Chapter Forty; Meeting Elio Galileo.“Hello Lucas Baron, I am Elio Galileo, it’s nice to have you shadow me” Those words were like heaven on earth for Lucas.For a minute, he forgot to even extend his hands to shake the man who had already put out a hand for him.Thank goodness Vienna was there, she hit Lucas at the shoulder and he came back to his senses.Lucas stood up and shook Mr. Galileo for a very long time.“Come to my office tomorrow and my assistant will brief you of the necessary things you need to know” Mr. Galileo said and checked his wrist watch.“Now if you would excuse me, I have other things to take care of, you two can run along and enjoy the rest of the view”Lucas and Vienna knew that Mr. Galileo was using style to send them away.But they were even more happy to leave than he’s happy to send them out.“Thank you sir, boss, I will not let you down.” Lucas bowed down again in courtesy before letting go first.Vienna stood back and exchanged words with Mr. Galileo bef
