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
Chapter Forty Five, A Different Task.Lucas decided to get himself busy by using the computer in front of him to browse other things that may be important to him.But after switching on the computer, he realised that a log in detail was required, but he had no idea what he would use since he was not given one yet.Just when Lucas stood up to ask the secretaries in the next office if they knew how he could access it, the door suddenly swung open and Henry returned back to see him standing by the door.As soon as he entered, he gave him an ID card and said, “you can also use it in the cafeteria when getting food.” Henry said leaving a confused Lucas.He was wondering why he needed to use the ID in the cafeteria, was glue being given a mission?“Aren’t you going to go and eat? It’s launch time anyways, the food is delicious, just follow the directions I showed you earlier and go eat.” Lucas didn’t realise that it was already launch time, it was then that he realised he had successfully
Chapter Forty Six; A Lucky Protege.“What did you just say?”“Yes, you will be going out for launch with Mr. Elio today. here’s the file about the client you’d be meeting, read and understand everything that’s there before twelve o’clock, that’s when you’ll have to leave” Luca’s eyes lit with excitement when he heard that he was going out to meet a client together with Mr. Elio Galileo. It meant a lot because it meant that Galileo was willing to introduce him to the man, that was what Lucas thought. He was well aware of what these kinds of meetings could do. Not only could a contract of decades be signed over an official meal, a long lasting friendship, partnership or even other types of relationships could easily sprout from a simple meal at the lunch.He was somewhat excited but still tried contain his happiness and keep a normal almost straight face like they all seemed to be doing in the office.He stretched his hand and collected the folder that was handed to him. Thinking tha
Chapter Forty Seven; Opening Up To The Master.“No man, I didn’t mean to say it in a bad way, artists are good people too now….” Before Lucas could finish his sentence, Henry had already interrupted him.“So what exactly did you mean? Don’t you know that artists are just lazy people who get overly paid for doing absolutely nothing but looking pretty and I actually work? Never compare me to them please.”Lucas could tell that Henry was having some issues about artists but he doesn’t know what exactly.So he just kept quiet and sat down looking at him.“I was talking like a CEO, not a wrist, you should be fast in picking up things and never yet assume something that you are not sure of, even if you did, you don’t have to say it out loud, you don’t know what people might like and what they might hate.”Henry looked at the file on Lucas’s hand before he continued speaking, “except of course if you are reading their biography at that point.”“Well you do have a point.” Lucas agreed.“Good,
Chapter Forty Eight; Saying No To Compliments.“Wait first, you need to survey your environment first, even if it is just with your eye before you get out of the car, usually, it’s good to have people to look out for you by doing this.”Elio stopped talking and looked around before he continued. “But when you don’t want to make a scene, just look at your right and left, then your front and back before you step down, this is necessary for when you become rich, especially since you are looking to join the business world, take this as my first lesson, always look at your back.”Lucas quietly listened and mentally took note of what Mr. Elio was saying l, every little detail counts.After saying that, Elio got out of the car and made way to the restaurant, Lucas followed closely after him.The restaurant had a distinct fragrance in the air which automatically made someone immediately get hungry as soon as he entered.It was also painted in bright red colour which immediately brightened so
Chapter Forty Eight; Did I Just Save You?Definitely not. He was not over thinking things, the look in her eyes clearly says so.Lucas suddenly felt like the place was getting too hot and intense, it was getting out of hand and he probably shouldn’t be there when his Boss talks about such things with his clients.He wasn’t very surprised that such a scenario happened, but he was really bumped that it happened right in front of him.Mr. Galileo? And Miss. Brooks? Is that how those two were? It was there something originally going on among those two before now? Is that the convincing Mr. Galileo needed to do in order to get his clients? Wow. Lucas was thinking about so many things and haven’t still gotten a hang of it, the two g kept talking but he felt like he should just leave the place and excuse himself so that they won’t have to bother about him.“Erm sir, I would like to use the restroom” he suddenly raised his head and said.Then he stood up and went to find where the restroo
