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

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.

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?
