Chapter Ninety Five; Winning Is The Only Way“Oh my goodness, what do you think they are talking about?”“Do you think they are planning a business collaboration?”The hushed chatters among the other people kept on increasing and increasing and people wondered what the two people were talking about. But before they were able to find out what really was going on, at that moment, Mr. Johnson, the client that Lucas was there to see in the first place decided to make an appearance from the changing room, immediately drawing attention tiward himself.“Hello Gentlemen, Mr. Baron, Lucas, you are both here already, I see you’ve already met.” Mr. Johnson said in a loud and audible voice, still filled with excitement as if he is not aware of the tension in the air that’s created by The very gentlemen that he was talking to. The crowd that were gathering at a safe distance in front of those two men suddenly lost interest as they felt the drama that would age happened just got hindered by Mr. J
Chapter Ninety Six; The Rich Like Free Food “You talk about like old times, but you don’t keep it yourself?” Those were the words that Patrick wanted to say, but he was in such a good mood that he just let it slide.“Even though it’s good that the loosing team knows how to take responsibility, I am sorry but will have to pass this one out because of my prior commitment, by all means, enjoy your meal everyone.” Patrick Baron said after remembering the ample of work pile waiting for him to come and handle. At least that’s why he told himself, when in reality, he just didn’t want to sit at the same table with Lucas again, he’s scared that the longer the two of them remain under the same roof, the more other might be able to guess their relation, and until now, he was sure that he didn’t want to be associated with Lucas in any way, not even as a business partner, talk more of family relation.“Oh that’s right, you are a busy man Patrick, but don’t forget to take a break and rest once in
Chapter Ninety Seven; His Power And His Wealth Has Such Limit.At that question, everyone abruptly stopped what they were doing and looked at him in anticipation of what he was going to say.Lucas also noticed how the man didn’t try to ask if he knew Mr. Baton or nit, it was a question to make him spill the bean, that is if they had some, any form of relation, then he would reveal himself, but Lucas had been studying the way the rich act, so he is able to understand that they meant he should spill the beans.It then no longer felt like a wonder to Lucas as to why they were acting extra nice to him even though if felt like Mr. Baron was not happy with him, it could be that they had an ulterior motive for motive behind their kindness.So Lucas naturally knew that he had to be careful about what he says when he’s in the midst of these people who’s words and actions are calculating and they also try to read meaning into any thing that crosses their paths.“Mr. Baron is undoubtedly one of
Chapter Ninety Eight; New Product Once In A while Is Good. “What are you saying Lucas?” Maxwell asked puzzled while Mr. Miguel Johnson had a knowing smile on his face, it was as if he was seeing the younger him. “All I am saying is that, it is about time the narrative be changed or loosened up a little bit to accommodate those who are perceived to be a nobody in the society, who knows, it might not end up being an entirely hard or necessarily bad thing.” Lucas told them his mind without letting his little confidence quiver and Mr. Johnson who was standing beside him had the smile on his face grow bigger with every word he said. After speaking, Lucas seemed to had remembered something and added, “you of all people know that in the business world, it’s often good to have a new product once in a while to spice up the market, in the same manner, a new face could also be just about the right spice for the elites.” “It is good you know exactly who you are and what you are, just a produc
Chapter Ninety Nine; Duse and Sherehills A plot of land to build or a completed building. That’s right, Lucas needed a physical place for his company.He went to the rich side of the town and surveyed the whole place.He could see that there were quiet a lot of malls, shops and trading places in the richer side of the state known as Sherehills.Sherehills had a mixture of business, leisure and luxury residence which is why there’s a lot of luxury cinemas, parks and most importantly malls in the environment.One of those building was a branch of Baron Enterprise, it contained a big mall with a few big and luxurious shops that sold only high class products, meaning that only the rich could afford it.Lucas entered the mall and stood in the center right where the escalator was located. For a few minutes, he just stood there and observed the place without doing anything until a Mall cop approached him.“Sir are you waiting for someone? There a waiting room available by the entrance you
Chapter 100; The Powerless To Acquire Power. Lucas came to the slum with a different goal and vision entirely, and that is to make sure he conquered all the aspect of the country, he wanted his name to be resounding in the whole country. It would be good for him if his products were accessible to the rare part of town, where not a lot of “so called fancy” products could be found, not even a mall in view and the people had to go to the market to purchase whatever it was they wanted. Opening a mall close by would really ease their work because they don’t have to travel so far and they get to have mall just like other part of town, it would be the first form of development they would have as a community/town. Lucas was particularly happy about this idea because he knew how much he could related to these peoples conditions, for he used to be in their shoes. Even though right now, they look at him like one of those members of high society because his neat and kept up he was, LUCAS was
Chapter One Hundred and One; New Business And Partner A week later, the building was transferred to his name and he had already mobilized some of the young men in the area to complete the building. It will surprise you how long it took to complete it, since the men were able build and strong, and Lucas had the money to buy the rest of the things required like the materials for ceiling, roofing and tiles. In less than a month, the building was completed. It turned out to be a very big luxurious, yet simple two story building with ten individual shops and an office upstairs. Having the building ready, Lucas wanted to rent half of the shops out to the fairly rich people who had the money to rent and pay the renting fee in a yearly basis. But the realtor came back with bad news to him. “No one is willing to pay a huge sum of money just to rent the mall since it is situated in the slum area, I hope you understand what I mean, the only other people who might be willing are those withou
Chapter One Hundred And Two; Workaholic Who Hates Investors Since today is the first time she’s back, LUCAS decided to give her a listening ear, luckily for him, he had other offices to fall back to when he gets tired of hearing her loud noise. But in the meantime, he is going to give her time to wow him first and beside he is kind of hungry, so he decided to go out and eat with her like she have said. They both knew the place wasn’t going to be less noisy if he didn’t give her attention. So they went down to a restaurant that was very close to the company and ordered some light food first before Lucas looked at her and said, “when we were coming here, you were so eager that you couldn’t keep quiet about the suggestion that you have for me, but now that we are here, you are quiet, did you not really have anything to say?” Lucas asked with a smug smile on his face. “If I had not said that I had something important about work to communicate with you, would you have followed me?
