The Formidable Heir

I CHOOSE THE SECOND OPTION!

Lucian is extremely perplexed. Today's incident is giving him a lot of headaches.

At first, he lost his job. A job he had labored so much for and when he had thought it was all over for him, he recalled his friend Jaxson and called him for help only to realize that Laura made a post against him and he has become a celebrity on the internet without a possibility to be helped.

That entirely broke him and made him conclude that it was best he committed suicide as there wasn't any other reason to keep living but once again, just as he was about to leave to go do that, a sudden luxurious car pulled over in front of him, and an anonymous old man approached him and told him a history that is meant to be his.

He is still processing all that and trying to digest it all but now he is faced with two choices to choose one. Two tough choices!

And to make matters worse, he isn't allowed to think them over.

It's frustrating the hell out of him! In this state of mind, how can he make a decision? His head already feels like it wants to explode!

Gosh, how can so many life-changing incidents happen in just a day? Not just a day, in a matter of minutes? It's so frightening!

"We wouldn't put all of this on you if we didn't have to, young master. We've assessed your managerial prowess and determined that you are the only one capable of handling this.

"Your father is in a big crisis, if you are good enough as we think you to be, you can prove yourself as a nice assistant to him. After all, you are his son and our one and only heir!

"But if not, you can take the $10 million and live as a normal person. Your father sure doesn't want you to be involved in any danger.

"He only came to you because as I said earlier, you are the only one that can help. In all, it is your choice to make."

Lucian forces a bitter smile. Here the old man goes again! How is that supposed to help? Like, is that supposed to make him feel better?

The old man says it like it's all easy to make a decision when it isn't in any way!

If he accepts the $10 million and continues his normal life, doesn't that make him a bad son who doesn't care about his so-called father?

Also, if he accepts the CEO offer and ends up failing the task, doesn't that make him a failure in the eyes of his father?

How the hell is he supposed to make a choice now? This is making him really lost. He doesn't know what to do.

And the worst part? This is the best time his sharp mind chose to be blank! How frustrating can the day get?

At this time, while Lucian is still trying to come up with a decision, Seth and Laura walk out of the company, holding hands, snickering, and being all lovey-dovey.

At the sight of them, Lucian tenses, all the hairs on his body standing on end as if sculptures.

He makes to hide behind Chad's car, but it's too late as Laura spots him just before he makes his move.

"Hey there, loser. Are you still here? I thought you would have been dead by now! Ouch, did that hurt? I guess not enough to compare to the fact that you lost your job on your day of resumption and can't bring yourself to go back to the pit you call home!" She yells loudly enough for everyone to hear.

"Oh, wait, did you actually try to hide? Well, I'm not surprised. That's exactly what losers like you do. They flee when people like us pass by! Hahaha!" She laughs out loud.

Seth chuckles. "You are so good at this, baby," he pecks her. "But I think you are missing something. Look at that car and the old man," he points to the luxurious car and Chad and sneers. "He must be trying to beg from that rich old man. Hahaha, I guess he now knows his place!"

"I must have missed that, baby. You can't blame me. You keep blinding me with kisses, how could I have seen that?" She asks seductively and begins rubbing his chest.

"Haha, at least you get what some loser over there can never get. Moreover, your lips are so sweet and succulent, how can resist such? I can't even seem to get enough!"

Laura flushes beet red. "You will make my cheeks hurt, baby. Stop."

"Haha," Seth caresses her hair softly. "It's so sweet watching him beg, isn't it?"

"It sure is, baby," Laura giggles.

Seth laughs and moves his gaze to Lucian. "Hey, pauper, you should come beg me once in a while, okay? I've always had a kind heart, yunno? Maybe I can give you some of my leftovers. You are not required to thank me, but you are most welcome. Hahaha."

"Aww, you have such a kind heart, baby. The world would be a much better place if there were more people like you," Laura puckers her lips and kisses him on the lips.

Lucian clenches his fists and grits his teeth. He feels so furious. They continue to mock him at every opportunity! He feels like making them his punching bag!

But, unlike Lucian, who is blazing hot, Chad is just standing there smiling at him. What else can compel his young master to make a decision if not this? If only these two cretins know who they are talking to in such manner! If only they know!

Lucian makes to charge at them. He really wants to end this thing right now, but a thought strikes him when he takes a glance at Chad, who can't stop smiling. He is the heir of the richest family in the world!

Why should he fight them when there are so many ways he can make them pay if only he embraces who he truly is?

Now, he knows what to choose! Yes, they have just helped him come up with a decision!

Isn't it interesting that they were the ones who made his father find him and are now the ones who also just helped him make a decision?

He ignores them and turns to Chad, his jaw set in a hard line. "I choose the second option!" He declares coldly.
