“How was Déjà vu?”Lutenant was surprised. Even after everyone had left the company, he had stayed back to go make concrete plans considering the fast food. He was going to do everything within his power to make sure that it was going to stand out—it was his work after all, and if it indeed succeeded, that was going to be one added to his resume.After he had finished working, he took the elevator downstairs.He hadn't been expecting his father at all, and when he saw the smiling face of Mr James in a suit that smelt and spoke of luxury, he broke into a smile that was mixed with confusion and surprise.“Dad. I never expected to see you here. Last I heard, you weren't in the state. Are you back now? For good?”His father shook his head, smiling.“You never can tell, son. The life of a businessman is never static. When you want to rule the world, you definitely can't do it by staying in a single place.” His father paused, then gestured to his driver, who was dressed in the same uniform

“What's it going to take to pull down this place, Aurora?”Aurora swallowed hard.They were at the site of the fast food, and all she had wanted to do was look around, take a few notes, and then go back home where she was going to spend the rest of her day waiting for her best friend to come back from the previous day's escapade.But it seemed as though Lutenant, her boss, had other plans.All he had done was ask her questions again and again, and she didn't know how badly she was doing. Was she answering the questions correctly? Was she answering wrongly?She couldn't tell because with every answer, he kept his face straight, and then nodded.“Roughly twenty grand, sir. Actually, it depends. If we pull down everything, we stand a chance of losing the customers which have made the place what it is today. So, I'd say we do a redesign. Clean up the exterior, touch the interior, nothing that can take more than a month.”She watched Lut nod again, then stare at her.“That's right. Thing i

Aurora had expected Gus’s reply to be something of that nature, but she had never expected the look on his face. Shock and surprise that soon transformed to confusion. “Well, you'll have to trust me on this one, Gus. We've thought about it already, and we're happy to reveal to you that your housing arrangements might have to be changed, but it's going to be footed by our company. While we work on the staff quarters, you guys will be in a different lodging, somewhere close to the fast food.” Gus shook his head fiercely. “Nope, not going to happen. We're here because we don't pay transport. Of course, we foot the utility bill, and that's just it aside from our taxes. We can't afford to live somewhere else.” Aurora scratched the back of her neck tiredly. At that moment, she found herself wondering if the passion and attachment the workers showed for the fast food wasn't attached to the fact that they didn't have to pay rent and transpor

“Where do you see the Déjà vu project going?”It was a strange question from his father, but one thing Lutenant had learnt even when he had still been in the university was to always have an answer for everything.There was nothing that was out of depth for him, as long as he set his mind to it.“It’s going to be a very good one. At the moment, we have problems with trying to please and maintain the staff, but I believe we'll come through in the end. I'm trying to make them recognize that we accept whatever they want, but at the same time, they should acknowledge that they're in a work setting. Whatever we ask of them, they must do.”His father's eyes glinted with a light that said he was pleased by the answer he had just provided.“That's good. It's important, you know, to let them know their boundaries because how you start is how you will continue. Are you ready to move? You can go in and lock your office, then meet me at the parking lot.”Nodding, Lut went to his office, grabbed h

“Why is the house so hot?”In the Johnson's ranch home which was located in Texas, it was a usual occurrence for the house to be so hot.But that was where the problem lied, Ariel wasn't used to the heat. She preferred the city, where the weather was mild, and the heat didn't make you almost scream in discomfort because of the beads of perspiration that went down your body.One of the house staff, Seraphina, shrugged, before speaking.“During the night, madam, we had a slight issue with the electricity distribution. There is light in the barn, but it doesn't seem to reach the main house.”She paused before continuing.“However, I think the electricity company has been called to take a look at it.”Ariel didn't know a lot of the house staff because she spent all her time in the city. But anytime she came around, she loved it, if only the heat didn't exist.The food and vegetables were fresh. She could ride horses and ponies, and even the smell of the countryside was refreshing, and dif
