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
Chapter Thirty Two; Another Heart Shattering Heartbreak.“Ma’am, Master Baron requires your presence in the kitchen” the butler told Melissa, making her freeze on the word she was saying.She turned towards Lucas, “Lucas, you stay and have fun okay, I’ll be right back, make yourself comfortable.” And then she left walking through the corridor to the door that’s presumed to be the kitchen.“Why is that boy here?” Patrick asked Melissa who just hung her head knowing that this time she was wrong.She didn’t say anything to him and just stood still. She was scared of provoking the man when there were a lot of people here to celebrate with them.And to everyone, they were the most ideal, happy and successful family that is envied by everyone, she knew it was important for him to maintain this image. “Am sorry, I’ll explain later” she begged him trying to get his mind off it.Patrick looked at her for a long time using the means to contain his anger.“Fine, you stay beside me for the rest
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
