At the Edward family Mansion. 6:25pm.Since Luca wasn't going to be working at the Santaro hotel anymore but at the Grand royal hotel,which was one of his investments, he quickly went back home to rest. Actually, he went back home so he could clear the air about Larosa that came to the family house in the morning, but just as usual, Sara wasn't at home. Her room was locked, but it was just empty on the inside.When Luca got to the sitting room, he saw Rose, Grandpa, and Avery. His heart began to pound in his chest as he thought, "Have they told Grandpa about the whole ordeal? Someone like Avery who hates him with all the fiber in her body, so it wouldn't be a big deal for her.""Good evening, Grandpa!" He greeted with his head bent slightly. He looked over to Avery, who pretended not to see him, and greeted her also. "Mother, good evening. How was your day?"Grandpa smiled. "Luca, how are you doing? Welcome back!"Luca nodded his head. "It was fine, thank you, sir."He wanted to walk
When Luca walked into the hotel, he couldn't help but marvel at the interior. The exterior was quite grand and beautiful, but the interior was very nice as well. His father was really a businessman with a high taste.As Luca made his way into the Grand Royale Europa hotel, he turned heads and stopped conversations. Women couldn't help but stare, their eyes fixed on his chiseled features and broad shoulders. He was looking overly good in that Louis Vuitton suit he was wearing, and worst of all, he left his bare chest open for all to see."Mon dieu, who is that?" a woman whispered to her friend, fanning herself with her hand."I don't know, but I think I just forgot my husband's name," her friend replied, giggling.A group of tourists snapped photos, trying to capture the essence of his rugged charm."Look, it's a real-life Adonis!" one of them exclaimed.As Luca approached the reception desk, the staff couldn't help but swoon."Bonjour, welcome to the Grand Royale Europa," the receptio
"Kiss that job goodbye, Luca!" She winked at him.At that moment, a man wearing blue trousers and a black shirt walked into the ongoing scene. Immediately, he started to come into the crowd, and many people gave way for him. From the look in his eyes, he was clearly someone important in the company.And once Debby saw him, she quickly turned to him, her lips twitching into a seductive smile. "Good morning, Mr. Derick," she greeted politely. "Thanks for coming. I was actually about to call you about my arrival and report some issues to you." Derick, who was currently the manager of Grand Royal Europa Hotels, Suites, and Clubs, looked over to Debby. "What happened, Miss Debby?" he asked, clearly curious.She heaved a deep sigh of relief before she began. "I was waiting for you, sitting on this couch, not knowing it was for an interviewee,only for him to hurl insults at me unprovoked," she explained, pointing her hands at Luca.Following her hands, Derick turned to Luca, and his eyes wid
Gasps! A wave of shock washed over Debby as she stood there, momentarily in silence. She raised her brow in disbelief. Did he just tell her to lick his shoes? Debby scrutinized him for a moment and didn't know the right words to say. In fact, her lips were sealed in astonishment.Derick and the security men stood there, shock evident on their faces, but they dared not say a word to either Debby nor Luca. Meanwhile, Luca left his legs outstretched, eagerly waiting for Debby to lick them, just as she had suggested on Mia's birthday.A confident smile stretched across Luca's face as he stood in a slanted position, exuding and commanding an air of pride as he said, "What are you waiting for? Start licking those shoes. Don't hesitate, sweetheart, it's a casual Prada loafer leather shoe worth about $2,200." His tone sounded sweet, but don't be deceived - he was actually mocking her with the price of his wares.Debby slowly raised her gaze to Luca, and a chuckle escaped her lips. It was actu
"Please, Luca. I am very sorry!" She crawled closer to him. "Please, I really need this job," she sobbed.Luca's lips twitched into a smile as he watched her eat back all of her words without just a few minutes. He left, not just pleased, but also satisfied with how she was begging him."I gave you an option to lick those Prada shoes, but it seems you still have a lot of pride," he uttered."No, no, no, no!" Debby abruptly cut him short. "Please, forgive me just this once. I swear, Luca, I won't ever do it again. I will respect you!""Just this once, please. I will behave myself. Just a second chance," she continued pleading, but Luca didn't pay her any attention. Deep down, she was still in awe at how Luca could make her lose her job. It was supposed to be the other way round. "Who is he?" She gulped."Derick, please, help me bag him. Please, I have no other job if I lost this. I already lost that with Santaro. Please, Luca, just a second chance," she clasped both hands together and
Luca's eyes widened slightly when he saw his high school classmate, Stanley!"Luk?!" Stanley was shocked. "Damn! Where have you been for ages?" he asked, walking closely, and the two men hugged each other. It was like a little reunion for both of them. In truth, they both attended the same high school, and they were friends until Luca suddenly disappeared before his father's predicament."You left without even saying goodbye, bro," Stanley complained bitterly. "I came looking for you at your house, only to notice it got burnt. What really happened during that period?"Luca shrugged it off with a sigh, he didn't want to talk about it. "That's in the past now, Stan. How the hell are you doing?" He fixed his gaze on him. "I see life is treating you well; look at you, man..."Stanley hissed, "Let's say we're managing, you know. I juggle different jobs just to pay for my mom's bills and some other basic things, you know." A faint frown appeared on his face, and Luca knew at once what he me
"Fine! You can go with all of it," Luca was reassured and gave her the go-ahead.The young man quickly guided him into another room, and within 25 minutes, he was done with the haircut. When the barber was done with the haircut, he slowly removed the clothes covering Luca's face and invited him to look at himself in a large mirror.Anticipation lingered in his tongue as he walked over to the mirror, and he was amazed!"WOAH!" As he gazed at his reflection in the mirror, a sense of satisfaction and astonishment washed over him. His hair, once bushy, now bore an intricate design, impeccably groomed and expertly gelled to accentuate his natural curls. The cut complemented his features.Still gazing at his reflection in the mirror, his surprised look gradually turned into a satisfied grin. The cut didn't only make him look better, but it also elevated his self-confidence and esteem. He was just realizing how good the hair treatment was; it had remarkably elevated his whole aura, making him
Luca hissed before holding tightly to his bag of clothes. Derrick was really pushing his luck on being Luca's person, but instead Luca wondered why he was being so overly clingy instead of facing his work.45 minutes later, Luca was at his new house and he quickly entered. A deep sigh of relief escaped his lips as he slowly fell into the gigantic bed he had in his living room. At least for today, there would be no sleeping on the cold floor because Sara doesn't want to have him on the bed. With that, Luca quickly transferred all of his information to his new phone.Soon his stomach began to grumble, and Luca's face contorted into a deep frown when he remembered he hadn't had anything in the past seven hours. He sighed disappointedly and picked up his phone to check the Google map for any nearby mall or restaurant to get anything edible.Ten minutes later, Luca was out with just Gucci shorts and a sleeveless top, despite the simple outfit, he was looking dashing with his new moisturize
