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
Chapter Eighty Six; A ButlerJames parked the car and went inside the building, there was a man at the entrance who directed him on where to go.As soon as he lead James to the living room, he turned around and left, without any more words, even after James asked him where Elio was. What’s with all that? James shook his head and faced the living room, it was pitch dark due to all the windows and doors being closed, it also didn’t help since all the furnitures were dark colors, even the paint was dark blue. James squinted his eyes at the sudden darkness which was compared to the bright atmosphere right outside the house. Where was Elio and why was the place looking like no one was there? James checked his phone to see the address again, it was the same place, so he decided to find the switch on his own. Usually, light switches were always close to the door, so it wasn’t hard for James to find the switch.As soon as he s twitched on the light, his expression about the room instantl
Chapter Eighty seven; What Do You Want?Yes, Elio had all the right to say sorry, it was the most basic thing for anyone who had done what he did to do.Not only does it calm someone down, but at least it makes the other party look remorseful and regretful, then it would make the offended person feel better. But unfortunately, this apology came in a little bit late, and it makes James think like it was not from the heart. After eleven years that something had happened, and after practically forcing him out to have dinner, that was when he could say sorry? Who would accept such an apology anyway? For eleven years, Elio had been working with these websites as his own, and with them, he easily found himself in the tech word. He got scholarship to study software engineering in the most prestigious school abroad and when he came back, he came back as a technophile with a lot of projects to show for it.Without May tech enthusiast in the country at that time, Elio didn’t have many compe
Chapter Eighty Eight; We’ll Meet Again When You Are Ready “But I already told you what to do, why are you still pretending like you didn’t hear me Elio.”, James said with a gentle voice that only annoyed Elio to the core.“I told you that I can’t do that James, what you are saying is too much, it’s been what? Eleven years already? and you can’t let go of it even if I pay you off? It’s not like you would have taken it this far anyway, you should be thanking me instead of trying to make things hard for me.” Elio was already beginning to loose his temper because James was acting so irrational once again.James silently shook his head at his cousin’s words, after all these years, it seems the man had changed so much and he couldn’t recognize the friend he knew in him.“Don’t act like this OK, I know you have always been the good one among the two of us and now that I’ve made something out of myself, I am sure you won’t eid me of it.” Elio said anxious.“Okay fine then, if the house and t
Chapter Eighty Nine; Managing A New Website And Business It was a familiar looking car that he had seen, the car was not as flashy as the rest of the cars in the parking lot, do he could easily recognize it amidst all the other cars parked there. Lucas mostly recognized the car not because it was nit flashy, but because he knew the owner of the car. “Is James just arriving?” He thought to himself and put out his hand to hinder the elevator from closing up completely and stepped out of the elevator, then he practically ran towards the car. Indeed it was James’s car and it looked like he had just arrived. James was still inside, bracing himself for how he was going to stand in front of Elio after everything that had already happened between the two of them numerous years back and their not so pleasant reunion that happened the other day. It had all made seance to him why Elio had not been able to enter the office building a month ago when he had brought Lucas for the first time, it
