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
Chapter Fifty; Just Go On That Date.“Come over and sit with me, let's talk before she returns,” Mr. Elio gestured for Lucas. Although he didn’t say it out loud, his expression when he saw Lucas coming did all the taking.Lucas saw the expression of his boss and was somewhat relieved that Mr. Galileo probably knew what he was feeling and would make things easier for him.But his next words surprised him to the core.“Miss. Brooks agreed to work with us.” That simple sentence surprised Lucas, “Just Like That?”He had read from the folder that she is particularly picky about who she works with and has a lot of choices.Although EG Tech company is probably the best tech company in the country, there were other advantages for her to use some other tech companies that were good.In fact, she could always just get an international that functions abroad, it would probably be best since she’ll be going international all play once. But she actually agreed to work with Mr. Galileo after just on
Chapter Fifty One; Life Is Going Good.“What is it?” Lucas asked expecting another life lesson, and thought provoking answer from his ‘mentor’ and that he got.“I have helped you get a date with Xaivan Brooks, now whatever you make of that date is totally up to you.”There was a sudden silence in the room.“Except of course you want me to call her and cancel the date” Mr. Galileo said. “No, don't do it!” Lucas almost shouted as he turned around and collected the phone from Mr. Galileo’s hand. Mr. Galileo looked at him, then he looked at his phone and at him.Lucas soon got the idea, “darn it.” He internally cursed himself then he returned the phone. He was too excited that he actually collected Mr. Galileo’s phone, luckily the man didn’t do anything for him which was totally unexpected.In fact, he was beginning to think that the man sitting behind him was not the man that he had been hearing of or reading about. This man seemed more flexible and down to earth than even he himsel
Chapter Fifty Two.Day Off“Work.” That’s right, although it’s a temporary wok, Lucas is more than happy to engage himself on the researches and plan for a better template that would suit Miss. Brook’s fashion brand.He sat on his study table, with bright light above him and his laptop in front of him and continued to work on the task that Mr. Galileo gave him.After reaching a substantial stage, he decided to retire for the night.He took his bath, finished his night routine and lay down on his bed.But Lucas wasn’t able to sleep, even after he’s done everything, he just lay there with his eyes open, looking at the white ceiling as he medicated on all that Mr. Galileo had mentioned to him earlier.“Mr. Galileo is a smart man, Janes had really helped me by telling me about him, I should also be grateful for Vienna too.” Those were Lucas’s last words before he drifted off to sleep.The next morning, Lucas woke up a little big late today so he didn’t bother eating food. He just bought s
Chapter Fifty Three; Business Proposal.He had not eaten.It was only at around one am in the night that Lucas turned and turned on his bed, he couldn’t get himself to sleep well no matter what.Lucas held his stomach and tried to wait until the morning. But when he could not hold the hunger any longer, he stringed down the stairs and almost fell down at the corridor. He went to the kitchen and opened the fridge. Luckily for him, there were food inside the fridge. Lucas thought that it might have been cooked for him to eat but because he didn’t, it was kept in the fridge.He brought out the white rice from the feisty and Heather it a little in the microwave. Then he looked for the soy sauce and added it on his food. He sat down on the chair in the kitchen where the aunties usually seat to eat their food and consumed up to two plates of rice.By the time Lucas was done, he took a glass cup of water to push down the meal and proceeded to wash the plates. Then he sat in the kitchen a
Chapter Fifty Four; Beating Traffic To Meet A Client.Lucas dipped his hand into his pocket again, and the next time he brought it out, he held his phone which was ringing.He heckled the caller name and saw that it was Henry so he casually picked the call and even started joking around.“Hey sir Mr Maxwell, just one day I’m not in the office and you miss me already? I didn’t know I have that much effect on you.”Laces thought that even if it wasn’t the case, there must have been a reason why Henry called him right? Since he wanted to loosen up a bit, he exuded fir the first time in his life to joke around with people on the cell phone.Although Lucas joked around, his tone was a bitt serious which made Henry who was in the other line to loose patience with him. “Very funny James, but I am not interested in men so stop thinking that I can not go a day without talking to you. You do know that you are currently still working right? Even though you have a day off,?” Henry’s articulated
Chapter Fifty Five; Her Mother In Mind.My confusion was finally cleared when she said, “We’ll just buy the food here first and then I’ll show you some of my designs in order for you to understand my style and pick the right theme for the website.”Lucas understood what she was talking about and agreed with her. She took him to a boutique that was opposite the Chinese restaurant first.“Miss Brooks.” The lady behind the counter greeted her with a bow the moment she entered. “Thank you Joyce, can you get us a meal for two from the Chinese restaurant and bring it here?” “Yes ma.” The woman bowed, took some money and went out to do what she was told. Meanwhile, Xaiven told Lucas to sit fist on the sofa as she went upstairs to get something. He simply complied, but when she was gone for a long time, Lucas began to feel uneasy and stood up from the sofa and walked around the boutique to ease the uneasiness he was feeling inside of him.After a while, The lady who was a called Joy by t
