Chapter Eighteen; Not Here To Disrupt Peace.The next day, the two, Lucas and James got ready early in the morning and set out to be the one and only Elio Galileo.Their car parked right in front of Elio’s company as the security guards hired by Melissa to watch over her precious son rushed out of the car following them and lined up to open the door for him.Normally he didn’t like this kind of activities, but at a time like this, he felt that it was better to show off a little, then maybe they would give him some attention once he goes in there.Butler James stepped out from the passenger seat as well and walked around the car so that he was standing side by side with Lucas.Lucas dipped his hands into his pocket. As he looked up at the gigantic building in front of him in admiration, he couldn’t hide his excitement and a smile curled up his lips. He hoped his dreams would finally come true. He was keen on becoming successful. When he looked at the magnificent building made with th
Chapter Nineteen; You’re Gonna Be Needing Me Soon.He prayed and hoped that that was the time that he would finally set his eyes on one of the world's famous men known for his exclusive skills with the computer . They walked a little and then they stopped again at the front of a large door. James pushed it open and entered, but it seems they are not yet in their destination because they saw another curtain.But James seemed to have expected it, he just extended his hand and pushed the curtain aside and was surprised by where they ended up at.In front of him was a podium with many beautiful girls in skimpy outfits dancing seductively and putting on a show.That was when Lucas realised where they had ended up, all those long walks and heavy doors led them straight to a stripper's room?Lucas didn’t understand what was happening, Janes just said he should trust him and that’s exactly what he was doing but questions were beginning to rise in his head.James however knew exactly where t
Chapter Twenty; You Are Invited.“No” After a while, Lucas couldn’t come up with any plan, he was just as James, useless.He had tried not to loose hope, but Butler James was not helping him, if James who’s Elio’s cousin couldn’t couldn’t even find a way for them to meet him, how could he keep dreaming about it? He that that was practically a nobody in front of others because no one really knew who he’s parents were.At the end, the two gentlemen had to give up and retreat their steps out of the place.As soon as they made for the exit, Lucas saw a figure from afar, the person seemed to be smiling towards him.But Lucas didn’t think much of it and just followed James out of the VIP building and headed to their car parked in front of it.Just when they were about to enter the car, Geraldine came out of the exit and called after them.“Hey Handsome,” she practically skipped towards them and pulled out a note from her apron’s pocket, and shoved it at Lucas who was halfway entering the ca
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 Two; Opportunity comes once, grab it. Lucas then dialled James’ number and invited him to his room.It was more like a summon because the tone Lucas used was enough to tell him that something was wrong somewhere.James sprinted to Lucas' room thinking that something terrible had happened to him, but when he reached there, he only saw Lucas pacing back and forth in the room.“Sir, What happened? You called for me.” James asked in between pants.“Yes, take a seat” Lucas said, then he told him about his personal attempt to find means of netting Elio Galileo went, including all the scammers calls that he got.And finally, he told him about Geraldine’s request just now.“Isn’t it absurd James? Don’t you think this lady is up to something?”He was hoping that James would also find it weird and join him in talking about how ridiculous it was for her to make such demands.But to his greatest surprise, James had a different reaction and a much worse answer than what he had expe
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 Four; I Will Juggle The Two Simultaneously.Because the restaurant the mother and son went to was not very far from the house where Lucas stays, he just had to hug for half an hour and he was already seeing the gates of the house.He went home and went straight to the mini gym in the house and did some cardio exercises and lifted some weights.Only when he was sweating profusely, his body hot and exhausted did he let go of the exercise and went back to his room to freshen up.After taking a long bath, he put on fresh clothes and went to sit at the table where he had left his phone and laptop on earlier.He picked up his phone and saw that there were a few missed calls and a message already waiting for him.One of the calls was from Geraldine while two of them were from his mother. And then the message was from Geraldine.‘You sure know how to take your time before replying to a lady’ it says.When Lucas saw this, he couldn’t help a smile that played on his face because
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
