Chapter Fifty Nine; The D DayLucas really didn’t finish it on his on, but not because he didn’t entirely finish the task in front mt of him.But it was because he had some help from the people on night duty that day.Apart from his team members, they all helped him finish the task they could do, and even directed him on how to do the once they couldn’t do and only have an idea of.When morning and all the others that spent the night in the company were already going home and being replaced by others that came in the morning, Lucas couldn’t do that because there was no one to take over from him.He just quietly sat in the front of Mr. Galileo’s office and waited for him to come to work so that he would submit and turn in all the works that he had done over night.But it was already eight o’clock in the morning, and Mr. Elio still hasn’t arrived to the office.Now since he is the boss and he had other establishments and branches even in the country, it was then not a thing of surprise
Chapter Sixty; For His Father.“The winner is Maxwell Warner, from the Warmer Plantation, his wine was one of the best, with a sour and a traditional field to it, his family grape plantation would definitely be used to enhance the production of wine and…”Lucas tried to listen to whatever the man in funky suit standing on the stage was saying, as it was projected on the loud speaker, but he justcouldn’t bring himself to continue listening.His mind blanked out and his ears became deaf for those minutes.The only thing he understand was that it was not his name that was being called on that stage and It only meant one thing, that he wasn’t the winner.He was almost sure that he could have easily won this thing, from the first stage to the very last.Even before the event started today, he had been looking at the beautiful scenery in the hotel and meditating on himself when he had come across one of the judges called Fredrick Plank from Gregory wines and more.The man created him w
Chapter Sixty One; Giving It A Go.“The runner up for this year’s event is nobody else by Lucas Jonas, his business proposal for one in a million Pub really stood out to us and had us hooked by the neck, we hope that this platform would enable him…” Even after the funny looking host had finished calling Lucas’s name and giving the little introduction he usually gives, Lucas did nit move, he was still standing rooting in one place, he couldn’t believe that he actually made it to second position, to think that he was already giving up.“Isn’t that you Mr. Baron? Congratulation! Why don’t you go up first and accept your price, then we shall finish our discussion later.”“Yes yes Mr. Baron, why don’t you go ahead first?”The people he was standing with urged him to go to thestage at once with smiles on their face as if they were beyond happy for his win.He couldn’t help but feel like they were a little more happy than him about it which was kind of strange.Anyway, Lucas came back to hi
Chapter Sixty Two; Busy During The Day“Is this why you didn’t come to work today? Because you had souvenirs for me?”Lucas was speechless. “Tell me, why were you absent?” Mr. Galileo asked with a quiet, yet authoritative voice.“Sir, the competition ended very late last night and …” Lucas started explaining how it all happened, but that was not what Mr. Galileo was asking him.“I don’t think you were given the day off fir Monday, have you forgotten the contract you signed? For this month, I am still your boss and you don’t get to act anyhow you ant just because you are my direct student, you could have easily taken an excuse if you were not going to come right?”Lucas didn’t really understand what was happening, but he knew that Mr. Galileo was right, he didn’t report that he wouldn’t be coming to work today, but it was not as if he had intentionally done it anyways. He as beginning to think of his hard it was working under somebody, it would be better for one to just be his or her
Chapter Sixty Three; Focus On Two Things.“Do you know Vienna?” “What? Who’s Vienna?” The lady asked giving him her attention.“I meant Geraldine.” Lucas corrected, remembering the name that she had first told him when they met.”“You know what? I think I have heard that name somewhere but don’t know for sure, I am new here but I can ask around for you.”With that, the waitress turned around and kept shouting with a loud voice. “Does anyone know a Geraldine? There’s someone looking for her.”“In the busy atmosphere with loud noise, she began to loudly asking just about everyone she met about Geraldine, she couldn’t be discreet at all.”“Hey see that handsome guy, he’s looking for Geraldine.” the waitress pointed at Lucas, when he saw this, he was embarrassed and even regretted going there.He immediately stood up and left the place without even turning back, until he entered his car, and after one final look, he zoomed off into the dark.From then on, Lucas had absolutely nothing on
Chapter Sixty Four; The Final Preparation.“Oh it’s a handsome man that just came in, oh my goodness, he looks so handsome, I could literary Elio with him right now if he could have me.” One of the designers who was closer to Xaiven answered.“Ah, I wonder who it was?” Xaiven pretended not to know who she was talking about.“You don’t know who it is? But he was asking of you and I was beginning to think that he was your new boyfriend.” The lady dared play around with her boss because they have such a relationship that was not so strict. “Well if you thought of that, then why did you talk about eloping with him? You busybody, you better continue working of this cloth or you will be fired, you know the D day is upon us.“Yes ma, I didn’t mean to be a busybody, I’ll continue my work now.” The lady said and continued fee work, everyone else saw the boss coming with a serious look, not wanting to be caught by her, they turned and then focused on their work.Lucas heard the place quietened
Chapter Sixty Five; Final Preparation I I“Actually, let’s go somewhere different today.” Lucas suddenly lifted up his head from his phone, adjusted his mood, and told her.Xaiven was startled a little bit by his sudden change of mind, but somehow, she felt good deep inside, and she also got curious as to why he did that.Xaiven Brooks, the nationally known fashion designer in the country, who was born to a rich family has always got answers to all her curiosity.That was why she couldn’t contain her excitement and always felt the need to quench her curiosity decided against quietly following him and waiting for him to explain why he wants “Where? And why?” She suddenly asked.“Somewhere quiet, because we need a quiet place to be able to you know, go through everything in a serene place, I’ve just had a long day last night.” Lucas tried to deviate her suspicions and deflect her excitement for whatever reason she was already thinking of.“My office is very much occupied now, but I kno
Chapter sixty Six; Can This Be Possible?“What do you need that information for?” Henry asked.“I just need some information about some people, I need to know my guests well, that’s just it.” Lucas answered truthfully.“Okay fine, send me the list you want, I can have up to ten information ready for you before two o’clock.” Henry hissed and answer, he thought that it was better to get the information than to tell Lucas how to do it, even though it might be a bit hectic for him.“I actually need at least fifty, but you’re busy can you at least get me up to twenty people’s bio?” Lucas tried his luck.“Okay fine, send the list, but you owe me.” Henry said and hung up the call. Hearing the beep sound, Lucas looked at his phone and wondered why Henry wouldn’t just tell him the main source of the information, it was have save him some work, and as for Lucas, he could always refer to the place whenever he needed such information. He called Xaiven and told her to immediately send him the li
