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
Chapter Forty One; Bottles Of Wine.“What are you laughing at?” Melissa asked her son and Lucas stopped laughing.“It’s nothing mom, you shouldn’t worry too much okay? I am not mad at you, I understand why you did it”“You do? Then why didn’t you pick your call?” Melissa asked doubtfully.“Because I’ve been busy mom, I think I might have gotten a job too” Lucas couldn’t help but share the joyful news with his mother.“You think or you know?” Melissa asked a little unsure about how Lucas was answering the phone today.“I have mom.” Lucas corrected himself and Melissa beamed with pure happiness for her son for she knew how much he needed to make it in this world if he must make something of himself.She was so happy for him.“So Lucas, what position did you get? I know with your school qualifications, you can easily bag a managerial or directorial position in a big company in town. Tell me so that I can brag about it later.”“Don’t worry mom, I’ll tell you all the details once everythin
Chapter Forty Two; A True friend.Lucas hesitated for a while, but he knew he could not continue to keep Lucas in the dark.He wanted to tell him that he actually went to meet with Vienna and she took him to meet Mr. Galileo himself.However, he remembered Vienna’s words that James had some issues with Galileo and it may have affected why Galileo refused to see them in the first place.He wondered whether James didn’t know of the possible rift between them or he decided to turn a blind eye to it.Should he mention that he was aware of it or should he pretend not to know about anything? Surely he can’t just continue to pretend not to know right? After all, James had always tried to be with him through these times and ever since he came to the house, one good thing that happened to him since he moved into that house apart from the fact that he got regular visits from his mom, is that James was there.Whenever he came back from school during the break with a long face, James would alwa
Chapter Forty Three, First Day At Work.The last thing remaining for Lucas was to take his bath, perform his other nightly routines and go straight to sleep.Even when Lucas lay on the bed, he couldn’t help but thing about what awaits him tomorrow and he got excited just thinking about it.For the first time after a while, Lucas went to bed with a relaxed mind and a happy countenance with great anticipation for the next day.At night, he even dreamt of himself as a very rich man and one day the owner of a very big tech company.Lucas’s dream was cut short though by the annoying blaring sound of his alarm clock.This time, he didn’t turn off the clock but immediately jerked up when he thought of what day it is, it’s the first day of his work and he can’t be late.He woke up with a big smile on his face, entered the bathroom and took a warm shower, rubes pomade,got out and wore the clothes that he had already prepared since the night before.Haven looked at his reflection in the mirro
Chapter Forty Four; Excitement to Boredom. When he entered the place, he was surprised that there were already many people in the office, but he was more surprised about the fact that they were all wearing casual outfits.Many of them just wore casual outfits like T-shirt or just long sleeves and even at that, they still neatly folded the arms so it ended up looking casual.What is going on? Lucas thought as he casually looked from the floor length glass door to the entrance of the place he was told to wait for the assistant.Maybe they just came in casual outfits and would change later? He thought.Lucas had browsed about the company, it was known for its excellent and comfortable working space, but the internet gave little information about what really went on inside the company.Lucas waited for a while before the door opened, someone who looked about the same age as Lucas came and entered.“Hello sir, my name is Henry Maxwell, you can just call me Henry, but I am the personal ass
