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
Chapter Twenty Six; Getting Ready.Lucas was still lost in his thoughts when his phone started vibrating beside him.But he had already dozed off from reality and didn’t feel the vibrations coming from his phone on the table until he heard a light knock on his door and he came back to reality.“Who’s there?” He replied casually looking towards the door even though it was closed. “It’s James” the Butler introduced himself and waited for permission first before he entered.“Oh come on in then” Lucas casually beckoned on him to enter the room and then refocused his attention on the book in front of him when his phone vibrated again.This time, he felt the vibration and picked up his phone to see a reminder written on the screen of the phone “Oh no!” He moved restlessly on his seat , then he stood up and immediately ran out of the room.But he came back immediately because he realized that he should be entering the bathroom not going out of his room.At that time, James was still standi
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 Five; Judging Her.There was a moment of silence on the other side of the phone.For a minute, Geraldine did nit belive what he was saying.Then a loud laughter sounded from Geraldine’s side. “Like hell I’ll believe you?” She definitely did not believe that he was that eager to eat dinner with her.It would be very strange if he would decide to come up to two hours earlier than their orignaiallu planned date.Was he that eager to eat with her or was he that eager to hear about how he could meet Galileo?But then she suddenly remembered that he had requested that she move the dinner to four o’clock but she had refused.Didn’t he see her message before coming so early like this? She clearly said they’d be there by six.“No Geraldine, I am serious, by the way what is your surname?”That question caught the young lady off guard. Why was he asking about her surname? Did he try to do any investigation about her?If that was the case, then she would be very disappointed in hi
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
Chapter Thirty; Definitely Not As Expected.“Why are you telling me this?” Lucas asked, a little confused by what was happening.Why did she suddenly turn the tables and decided to be honest with him?“I don’t know why I am saying this to you, but I just want to tell you as well” Geraldine or now Vienna said as she took a glass of water and downed it.At that time, there was a knock on the door, so she called out for the person to come in.The waitress who had taken their order came in with a trolly carrying their orders on it.When she served them their food and drink, she left them and the room was back to being silent again.“Can you still eat or do you have to go now?” Geraldine asked him all of a sudden, catching him off guard.Was she trying to send him away already? Oh well, he better just let go of the opportunity. if he couldn’t convince her now, then it’s useless, but at least since he’s already here, he’ll have to eat first before going.However, that was not what Geraldine
Chapter Thirty One; Anything For My Mom.Lucas didn’t stop when he started the car again, luckily for him, every traffic light was green when he passed and there were not many cars to even create any traffic jam.Soon, the like on the GPS had reached the red spot on the map which meant that Lucas had reached the Baron residence in just four minutes.He didn’t doubt it was the place because the gate was open and there were some cars entering the gate.But when it was Lucas’s turn to enter, the gate man refused to lift the metal for him to enter with his car.Lucas couldn’t believe his eyes and ears. Would he suddenly just show up in a place as big and magnanimous as this without being invited? It sounded very absurd to him.But the gate man insisted that he had to show him an invitation card first since he didn’t know him or else he wouldn’t let him enter.“Hey, I was really invited by Mrs Melissa Baron, you can check a list am sure there’s one, please just let me in first and we’ll cl
