Chapter Seventy Five; A Celebrity Kind Of Lifestyle “It’s very simple, don’t worry, you can handle it, I want you to fix me an appointment with your boss.” James said those words, saying his demands straight to the point without beating around the bush.“What? 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. Well, actually it’s
Chapter Seventy Six; Very Proud Of Him.After some minutes, the Secretary entered with two cups of coffee on her hand, pretending as if she didn’t know who Lucas was, she proceeded and handed him and Mr. Galileo both cups of coffee and excused herself.“Drink.” Mr. Galileo motioned for him with his hand as he held the cup with the other and took a sip of the coffee, “Delicious isn’t it?” He asked Lucas who nodded his head.“Yes sir, it’s delicious.” Agreed. 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
Chapter Seventy Seven; From A Bar Tender, To A Bar Owner.“Okay, they’ve agreed to meet there.” Henry reported back and Lucas beamed with excitement.Some minutes later, Lucas was done with his work at the office and decided to go over to the Luxus Pub.As soon as he entered, the staff acknowledged him with great respect before they went back to their work.Lucas nodded and told everyone to continue working and nit mind him, that’s as what they did. 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
Chapter Eighty, A Funny Situation What kind of thing was this? Was this intentional or did someone really spoke his drink?Lucas went to the kitchen to check on the same drink that the man was drinking and it was not the same.He looked at people’s orders and saw that some people had ordered the same thing with him, but non of them were acting weirdly or shouting that they had been drugged.That was how he knew that this matter was very particular to this man only, so he focused his attention on him.He went back to check on him in the restroom and saw James looking very tired on the side of the space right in front of the stalls, the two of them were looking at each other as if they had been fighting.Lucas was right, The man suddenly picked race and was ready to tackle Lucas, “you are the one that owned this place right? You spiked my drinks, is that how you get your customers, I will report you to the police.” The man’s voice was slurpy, but they were able to get his words.And fr
Chapter Eighty One; So You Finally Got My Number Lucas looked at the two people were were looking so innocent, they actually were nothing, but just a pond in the plan of the person, he decided to let them go, only on the account that they both report to him if they hear from the woman again.Not that Lucas was going to do anything for them, but the people didn’t know and were more than willing to do just that. After that had been taken care of, Lucas had an impromptu insoection of all the food, snacks and drinks there, and found that there was nothing wrong again.Haven taken care of that, Lucas had a short meeting with his security, he told them to be more vigilant and repeat anything weird that they may have seen at anytime.Once that was all done, Lucas looked at his wrist watch and saw that it was already five twenty, time for him to get up from work had already passed.He sighed and relasexed sinec he had already taken an excuse.

Chapter Eighty Two; A long Day For Two“Vienna? What are you doing here?” Lucas asked, a little surprised to see her come in there and most especially in that style.Somehow, the way she tied her scarf and was wearing dark sunglasses even though it was already evening hours reminded him of the person he had earlier caught trying to defame his new business.Both the man and woman said that the lady who sent them was covering her head in the same manner, so you can’t really blame him for over thinking somebody’s simple outfit. “Why are you looking at me like that? Is there something stuck on my face?” Vienna said when she noticed how he was just looking at her without moving for a while, almost as if he was scrutinizing her.She felt a little bit self conscious and subconciously touched her face with the tips of her fingers just to be sure. “Oh no, you just look different today.” Lucas immediately responded as he came back to his senses. “Oh really?” Vienna suddenly blushed and rais
