Chapter Seventy Seven; From A Bar Tender, To A Bar Owner.“Okay, they’ve agreed to meet there.” Henry reported back and Lucas beamed with excitement.Some minutes later, Lucas was done with his work at the office and decided to go over to the Luxus Pub.As soon as he entered, the staff acknowledged him with great respect before they went back to their work.Lucas nodded and told everyone to continue working and nit mind him, that’s as what they did. Lucas found a very good spot and decided to sit down there after briefly scanning the whole place one by one. James soon finished supervising the staff who were taking care of some of the people who wanted to hire the conference room and decided to have a tour of it first. “Hai Lucas, this work is really not easy.” James said , cleaning the sweat on his forehead, those women really bombarded him with a lot of questions that it even drained him of energy.“You are really trying, I know how hard it must be, luckily, you will just have to
Chapter Seventy Eight; A Bit Of An Emergency.The night went by really slow when someone is awake, but if you are busy doing what you love, then you’ll probably not feel the length of the time,and the same was the case for Lucas.He was wide awake for the whole night, as he checked on the staff and customer s from time to time, only dozing off for a little while. But as soon as he closed his eyes, he heard a nick in his door. “Could it be the staff?” Lucas opened his eyes, rubbed them, adjusted his hair before he personally went to open the door since he locked it while he worked.“Hello sir, did you sleep well?” It was not any other staff, but it was his faithful Butler. “James? Why are you here so early?” He asked recalling that he made sure to see James off first before coming to his office. “Yes, I did go home, but I came back early with a cardigan and I figured you might also need to go to work early today, so I thought of taking over from you so that you can go and rest firs
Chapter Eighty, A Funny Situation What kind of thing was this? Was this intentional or did someone really spoke his drink?Lucas went to the kitchen to check on the same drink that the man was drinking and it was not the same.He looked at people’s orders and saw that some people had ordered the same thing with him, but non of them were acting weirdly or shouting that they had been drugged.That was how he knew that this matter was very particular to this man only, so he focused his attention on him.He went back to check on him in the restroom and saw James looking very tired on the side of the space right in front of the stalls, the two of them were looking at each other as if they had been fighting.Lucas was right, The man suddenly picked race and was ready to tackle Lucas, “you are the one that owned this place right? You spiked my drinks, is that how you get your customers, I will report you to the police.” The man’s voice was slurpy, but they were able to get his words.And fr
Chapter Eighty One; So You Finally Got My Number Lucas looked at the two people were were looking so innocent, they actually were nothing, but just a pond in the plan of the person, he decided to let them go, only on the account that they both report to him if they hear from the woman again.Not that Lucas was going to do anything for them, but the people didn’t know and were more than willing to do just that. After that had been taken care of, Lucas had an impromptu insoection of all the food, snacks and drinks there, and found that there was nothing wrong again.Haven taken care of that, Lucas had a short meeting with his security, he told them to be more vigilant and repeat anything weird that they may have seen at anytime.Once that was all done, Lucas looked at his wrist watch and saw that it was already five twenty, time for him to get up from work had already passed.He sighed and relasexed sinec he had already taken an excuse. But when he picked up his phone and saw two mis
Chapter Eighty Two; A long Day For Two“Vienna? What are you doing here?” Lucas asked, a little surprised to see her come in there and most especially in that style.Somehow, the way she tied her scarf and was wearing dark sunglasses even though it was already evening hours reminded him of the person he had earlier caught trying to defame his new business.Both the man and woman said that the lady who sent them was covering her head in the same manner, so you can’t really blame him for over thinking somebody’s simple outfit. “Why are you looking at me like that? Is there something stuck on my face?” Vienna said when she noticed how he was just looking at her without moving for a while, almost as if he was scrutinizing her.She felt a little bit self conscious and subconciously touched her face with the tips of her fingers just to be sure. “Oh no, you just look different today.” Lucas immediately responded as he came back to his senses. “Oh really?” Vienna suddenly blushed and rais
Chapter Eighty Three; Browsing To Be Informed.Should he take her home? He doesn’t know her house and he also couldn’t drive.Left without any option, Lucan’s woke her up by splashing some water on her face, then he told her to go to one of the room and sleep it off, “then you can go home tomorrow.” Lucas said and she surprisingly obeyed him and followed him to one of the rooms at the extreme end.“Don’t open the door for anyone, just lock yourself and go to sleep.” Lucas bid her as he stood in front of the entrance and watching her from outside. “Yes sir.” Vienna saluted him and immediately closed the door. Only after Lucas made sure that the door was locked did he move away from there and went to his office. He was so tired and also decided to sleep again in the office. Vienna slept for an hour and she was able to sober up. She woke up and washed her face, then she covered her head and left the pub that night.Since it was just nine o’clock, she ordered an Uber that took her hom
Chapter Eighty Four; Gold Shines When Tried.Melissa lifted up her index finger, indicating that he should hold on for a minute before she picked up her call. Because she stood up and went to the corner, she also spoke in a gentle voice, Lucas didn’t pay attention to her and as a result, didn’t know what she was talking about or to who.But by the time she came back to take her seat, she didn’t just sit down, instead, she took her bag and was about to leave. “Lucas dear, sorry but I have to leave now, we can continue our conversation some other time son, take care of yourself okay?” Melissa didn’t even wait for him to go as she practically ran out of the place.On her way, she continually prayed that Grandpa Baron doesn’t make things hard for her because he was the one that called her and although she told him she went there for the sole purpose of having an official meeting, he refused to believe and ordered her to come back immediately and take him to the hospital, hence the reaso
Chapter Eighty Five; Laying Low and Being Alone.There was a moment of silence between them, LUCAS quietly processed the aitauation so that he would make the right choice. After all, there were many things that Elio could possibly do for him, but now that he was asked, he had to think carefully. “You can’t possibly tell me that there is nothing you want from me Lucas, so spit it out.” Elio Galileo said with a little impatience. When he was sure about what he wanted, he looked directly into Mr. Galileo and spike up.“Actually, there is one thing that I would like you to do for me.” Lucas decided to use this opportunity as he remembered the promise he made to James.“Go ahead.” Mr. Galileo said, expecting Lucas to ask him something related to work again, but Lucas caught him off guard. “I would like you to meet someone, his name is James, he said he’s your cousin.” Lucas says, making his demand very short and simple.“You’Re still in touch with him?” Mr. Galileo asked, he didn’t loo
