Chapter 6

“You are here to get a meal?“ Sia could not help but laugh out loud clutching hard to her stomach while his eyebrow farrowed.

“Are you serious right now? You came here to get a meal? Can you stop being delusional already? “ She snapped swiftly, her facial expression washed with so much disgust.

He stared at her closely without spitting out a single word from his mouth.

He knew that she was trying as hard as she could to stare him up and his hands were clenched in an attempt to control his anger and maintain it all.

“You should start telling us the actual reason that you are here already rather than telling me that you came to get a meal.

If anyone is going to fall for that. Do you think that it could be me?“ I have known you for quite a while to know that your poverty can be equal to a stink from hell." Sia mocked him.

“I told you already that I  came here to get a meal. Stop being so hard already and get me what I want.“ He replied but at this point, all the patience in his head was gradually beginning to wear out.

"And I am getting it at the Baccis section." He noted making her face twitch into a frown.

“Are you kidding me? I know that you came here to beg,  however,  you claim to want to get a meal. 

Do you realise that section is only meant for people from the Starling family and it can only be gotten with a special card? “ She thundered at him, her face flushed with her.

But even with her outburst, Lucian was still able to keep his utmost calm.

Meanwhile, the conversation had already attracted people's attention. 

They brought out their cell phones from their pockets to take photos of the epic moments.

“And what if I can afford it?“ He said, leaning forward and staring right into her eyes.

Everyone was surprised at the tenor of his voice and the confidence as he spoke. Like some worthy heir.

Chatters went around in the hall as the people continued to watch the events closely, waiting to see what was going to happen next.

“Since you want this. You are going to get it.“ She said,

“Get that particular card and I am going to kneel before you and call you Daddy.“ she responded.

"And don't think that you are going to be so Smart on this one. If you are not able to do it. Then you will have to take a clean test of my feet." There was a dark arch on Sia's lips as she spoke the words.

“Then we have a deal.“ Lucian replied to the surprise of everyone in the hall.

A swift gasp came from everyone who was standing around as they believed that he would never be able to afford such.

"What does he think  he is doing?" Random words streamed into his hearings.

He placed his hand in his pocket and was stunned not to find it in the pocket he had it earlier. He immediately checked the other pocket and breathed out softly as his hand felt the card. 

He brought out the card from his pocket, and Everyone was startled, letting out an exclamation that enveloped them all.

"Where and how could he even get that?" They inquired waiting to see how the drama was going to end.

Sia's eyes skimmed towards the direction with her heart racing fast.

“But how is that even possible?“ She thought with her face clouded with so much confusion, her eyes farrowed.

“How can I fall for this so easily? It's obvious that he stole it.“ She thought further.

“Where did you get that from? Tell me right away.“ She thundered swapping the card away from his hands even before he could tell what was going on

"Give that back to me." His face twisted into a scornful frown as his patients had eventually weirded off.

“And what are trying to do?“ He glared at her but Sia ignored every single question he asked

“Wait. What were you even thinking? That I was going to fall for this useless act of yours?“ She chuckled, making him even more angry than he was already.

“What are you trying to say, Sia? It's obvious that you are lost and you are just looking for a way to get away?" He fired at her and she bursted out into laughter.

" It's obvious you stole this card and ran down here for a free meal. Just take a good look at yourself. Do you think that you can afford this?"

Staring further at the card, she noticed that it didn't have elasticity. Her eyebrows furrowed as she turned over to the crowd.

"It's fake." She announced.

Chatters filled the hall and almost immediately followed by whispers and hisses.

"I knew that it was all fake right from the very beginning. How could he be able to afford it in the first place." The man that was standing close to Lucian finally said.

“You have so much audacity don't you?“ She accused him further.

“How dare you throw useless accusations at me?.“

“Don't worry. When I get the security, you are going to find out.“she replied.

Reaching out to the telephone,

she placed a call across to the security waiting for them to arrive.

“And as for this.“ She said, referring to the said forged card.

She ripped it apart almost immediately and threw it at him.

“Soon you are going to get arrested for forgery but before that, you will have to lick the dust off my feet.“ She said

Staring at the wristwatch in his hands, he realized that he still had a few moments to do what had to be done.

She already pulled out her feet from her shoes and poured water on them.

“Disgusting Lucian, I am waiting for you. Get this over with already.“ She growled.

“Not when I still have five more minutes.“ He replied.

“And what are you going to do? Forge another fake card?" She laughed but he ignored her words, bringing out his pocket and placing a call across to the lady Sydney

“Young Master Lucian.“ She picked up the phone and aimed as though she was waiting for him to make the call.

“I need you at the restaurant right this minute. The card you gave me has gotten me into  trouble.“ He replied.

The words seemed to send a chill down her spine as there seemed to be a sudden pause from the other end of the phone.

"Are you there?" Lucian inquired quickly, snapping her off from her thoughts.

“Okay.“ Her voice was laced with fear and confusion. “I will be there right away.“ She replied.

Soon, there was the sound of a sleek BMM car outside and a lady who was the total definition of perfection walked into the place.

Everyone marvelled at the intimidating Aura of the lady that stood before them.

“Who is she?“ Heads turned from side to side wanting to know who the stunning lady was and who she came for.

"I'm so sure that she is at the gate with some wealthy billionaire." Gossip went around in the hall

"Young Master, are you okay?" Sydney ran off to him as soon as possible

Everyone in the hall was confused as they could not tell what was going on.

Soon, another swift pattern of feet's car crashed swiftly into the hall as though it was being chased by a ghost.

Sia pulled her eyes towards the direction of the familiar aura only to notice that it was that of the manager.

Her face softened almost immediately as the manager approached her and she smiled.

“Good day manager Kelvin. I wasn't expecting you to be here today…” She could not even get to finish her statement before he thundered like the clap of a lightning bolt.

“You fool. Which of you have angered the Young Master.“ His voice was laced with so much anger while her face was furrowed with so much confusion.

“I don't understand sir.“ The words sprouted out from her mouth but Mr. Kelvin sped off towards Sydney.

“Ma'am Sydney Walker. What's wrong? Your voice sounded way too urgent over the phone.“ He panicked.

“The assistant of the Lucian company?“ Gossip went around the hall.

Meanwhile, Sia shuddered. She never thought that she would be able to meet such a renowned dignitary before she died.

“Slap.“ A slap landed on the manager's face to the surprise of everyone in the room.

“Are you asking me that? You should be asking your employees and apologizing to Young Master Lucian.“ She thundered.

Without another thought, he fell on his knees and crawled toward Lucian

“Young Master Lucian. I am so sorry for causing so much trouble. Tell me what the problem is and I am going to get it settled.“ He said.

Everyone in the hall was startled to see the manager kneeling on the floor.

“How could this young man even refer to him as a young master?“ Gossip flooded the hall.

“Young Master Lucian?“ Sia thought that she could only be dreaming.
