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.

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

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?

Due to this problem, even if it didn’t take much time for to rectify and the public know nothing of it except the smoky rumors, it still set the company back for a while and it took another while before they could rectify the problem.
