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
Chapter Fifty Eight; A New Motivation.“I don’t know the name of the place yet.” Lucas heard himself saying. “Huh?” Xaiven was confused at his words. What could it even mean?“Oh did I say that out loud, forget about it.” “No, You now have me seriously wanting to hear where the place without a name exist.”“If I tell you that it also doesn’t have a place, then would you say am mad?” Lucas asked her and he envisioned how his pub would look like in one of the places he had looked at earlier that day.“No, contrary to what you think, I will actually say that you have something to do with such a place, why don’t you tell me, who knows, I might patronize you.” Xaiven encouraged him to tell her.Lucas hesitated a bit and when she saw that, she brought out an iPad from a drawer upstairs and showed him some more designs.“Why are you showing me this?” Lucas asked a little puzzled.“These are the new designs that will be released during fall next year..” Then why did you show me now? Lucas
Chapter Fifty Seven; The Making Process.It was a sound of something falling and breaking on the floor and it drew the attention of everyone that have gathered in front of Lucas.They all turned around in unison, only to see Mr. Bima standing at the entrance, and he does not look happy.“What are you king here?” Mr. Bima asked with fury, the customers were even scared, with the voice he used.Lucas immediately bowed down and wanted to answer him, but he didn’t even listen to him, he crouched down and picked up what looked like a porcelain that has broken into.“Arh! You again? First it was my bar, now it’s my important and priceless antique that you made me break by the sudden appearance of your presence? For how long will you do this? How long will you try destroying things for me?”Everyone, including Lucas was shocked at his words. They looked from Mr. Bima to Lucas and it made him uncomfortable.“Sir please…” Lucas didn’t even know why he was pleading, but he felt like he did some
Chapter Fifty Seven; Hectic WeekLucas turned to see the woman he didn’t expect to see today.“Miss Brook’s, your here?” Lucas stopped taking greeted her.“Yes, I came to tell you that the theme color should be purple and blue, not just blue.” Xaiven said, looking very innocent.“Luckily we just started and have nit gone far, I’ll talk to the people working on it to effect the necessary changes, is there anything else that you would like to be changed?” Lucas politely asked, he didn’t want to go so far and then have to change something as minor as the pigmentation.“No, that’s all. Were you able to solve the family emergency last night?” Xaiven blurted out, unable to contain her concern for him.The way he had stormed out of the place last night made her think the worst and she decided to personally come over and check on him.But that was of cause because she didn’t have his number to just call him and ask.“Yes Miss Brooks, I was able to solve it, thank you for your concern, is tha
