He could also see that beside the words was a picture of himself as he cuts the ribbon, right before tour of the pub started and he couldn’t belive it. His joy knows no bound to see that he had made it to the news the next day, scrolling down, he saw some bloggers also commenting about the pub, already giving their reviews of just the design of the place, and can’t wait to start patronizing it.“This is real right?” Lucas asked with bewilderment, unable to contain his excitement.This right there was what he was aiming for, now that he’s making the news, it will take no time for his

Who?” Lucas’s voice raised up a little big because hewas already taken aback by his words and immediately exclaimed without thinking much about it.“Isn’t Mr. Galileo your boss right now? You work as his second assistant right? Surely, it wouldn’t be a big deal for you to chip into his busy schedule and schedule a meeting for me and him right?” James was now the one asking the questions.“Yes, well technically he’s still my boss..” Lucas said as he thought about it.“But Mr. Galileo is really picky about who he meets, can’t you see, that’s why it’s not even all the clients at work that he personally meets with, that’s why I told you, he sometimes sends Henry and I to meet with his clients and close deals.

Unable to contain himself any longer, Lucas decide to ask for the reason of him being there. “Sir, May I know the reason why you asked me over? Is there a new client I need to see?” Lucas cautiously asked.“Not not now.” Elio said. “Then….” Lucas only said that one word, otherwise he didn’t know what to what to say if he should directly ask.“Well, Aren’t you a chairman now? You also have your own establishment, right, don’t you also think I should treat you this way?”“No” Lucas wanted to say, but something seemed to stop him

Lucas found a very good spot and decided to sit down there after briefly scanning the whole place one by one. James soon finished supervising the staff who were taking care of some of the people who wanted to hire the conference room and decided to have a tour of it first. “Hai Lucas, this work is really not easy.” James said , cleaning the sweat on his forehead, those women really bombarded him with a lot of questions that it even drained him of energy.“You are really trying, I know how hard it must be, luckily, you will just have to
Chapter Seventy Eight; A Bit Of An Emergency.The night went by really slow when someone is awake, but if you are busy doing what you love, then you’ll probably not feel the length of the time,and the same was the case for Lucas.He was wide awake for the whole night, as he checked on the staff and customer s from time to time, only dozing off for a little while. But as soon as he closed his eyes, he heard a nick in his door. “Could it be the staff?” Lucas opened his eyes, rubbed them, adjusted his hair before he personally went to open the door since he locked it while he worked.“Hello sir, did you sleep well?” It was not any other staff, but it was his faithful Butler. “James? Why are you here so early?” He asked recalling that he made sure to see James off first before coming to his office. “Yes, I did go home, but I came back early with a cardigan and I figured you might also need to go to work early today, so I thought of taking over from you so that you can go and rest firs
