"Nothing dad." He replied further.
Soon enough, a cracking sound came from the door and a young man dressed in a glittering attire stepped into the place with a broad smile hovering on his face as he walked forward.
He bowed immediately his eyes met with the men, not daring to raise his head up even for a single moment.
"This is Mr. Edward." Luts father announced, "he is going to take you round my establishment once you are back to health." He smiled.
"Nice to meet you, Director Edward."
The words seemed to cause some strange reactions, making his face to quickly break up into cold sweat as he shuttered with the words in his mouth.
"Nice to meet you, too young master." He replied with his voice laced with so much respect as he eventually made his way out of the place.
Days turned into week and treated more like a king, and finally, he was okay and it was eventually time for him to leave.
The racing of his heart increased even more as he was taken off in the car by Mr. Edward who seemed to be really frightened of him.
"What about dad and sister?" He inquired with a strange look on his face.
"They are preparing for something big. But I don't think that you should worry about them. I am sure that there is more than enough that they are not here to see you off personally.
But anyways you don't have to worry too much. I will be taking you home with me." He soon announced once again.
They had always been with him during the time that he was sick but when he was eventually discharged, they were nowhere to be found.
Back at him, dropped off and Lut was lost in the state that lay before him. For a while, he could not move out from the point that he was standing, startled by the beautiful scenery that stood before him and it was looking more like a dream.
Even though he already knew that this belonged to him, he could not help it but feel amazed at the exclusive sight of it.
The raising of his heart increased faster and they eventually got into the house and he was led off to his room.
Having the best meal that he had ever had in a really long time, he had a sound from the door that made him jerk off from his steps.
His feet swayed off to the door and he wasn't expecting that his father was the one that was at the door and his lips quickly broke off into laughter.
"Hi dad." He quickly said, trying as hard as he could not to feel awkward.
"Do you like the place?" His father inquired and his eyes almost popped out from his eyes sockets at the sound of its words.
"Like it? I freaking love this place." The thoughts eventually steamed off from his head but he didn't dare to spit the words out from his mouth.
"I like it dad." He quickly replied but it wasn't looking like he was ready to step out from the place anytime soon.
"I wanted to talk to you about something. Can I come in?" He finally said and Lut quickly nodded his head.
His father walked off into the room and eventually sat at the end of the bed. The countenance of his face was more than enough to get him worried but he decided that he was not going to show it.
He could see that his father stopped for a while. Even though it was a blood relation, they were still getting to know each other so the air before them still seemed awkward.
"You wanted to talk to me about something, dad? I'm all ears." He said trying his best to be encouraging.
Mr. James nodded with a smile before turning around once again towards his child and muttering.
"I have been running this business for quite a while but I don't want you to build your wealth on my workings. I want you to build your wealth on your own." He said.
Lut continued to listen to what he was saying. He already had images in his head that his father was rich but he didn't know how rich he was.
"I know that you are already in college since I have had to do a lot of digging up about you and I also know that you have had a pretty rough life too. I am sorry for not being there and I promise to never leave yourself." He continued to say.
"However, the world isn't really as we see it to be and you won't be able to grow stronger if you lie in wait in my hands. It's certain that one day I will be gone and it might be too late." His speech was long while Lut was doing his best to catch up with it.
"So I wanted it to flow into the same line that you are working. I wanted it to be that you make a business on your own from the capital that you are going to be given." He said.
Quitely, he brought out a card from his pocket. Even though it was looking all nice and shining, it was a little bit confusing since he had not seen any card that looked like that before..
He finally took the card off from his father, his eyes still going on through it before quite a multiple time.
The look was silk and premium. Enough to get anyone to shift their gaze in its direction. But as premium and silkily that it was looking, it still didn't pass for a normal bank at.
Even though he was poor in his previous life, at least he knew what an authentic card should look like.
"But why isn't it looking like a normal card dad?" He finally inquired with his father's lips breaking into a smile immediately he heard the words and he said.
"Because it isn't a normal card. It's the purple card that has about a billionaire dollars. Half of that should be used for your business while the remaining half of it should be used for your living expenses." He explained but Lut could hardly hear further of his words as he was still lost for quite a while thinking about the amount that was just mentioned.
"A billionaire?" An enquiry escaped from his lips with his jaws still far apart with so much shock.
Latest Chapter
Making amends
She could cover her bills if Lutenant bluntly refused to. She glanced at him, but he was totally ignoring them, his eyes on his phone, as though their discussion didn't exist. She could feel the unspoken anger even though he hadn't said anything. “Well, we'll have to use the bus first. It will take us down to the consortium, where we'll get our cars and go down to the restaurant. Have you grabbed your things?” “Yes, I have. Everything is in this bag.” Claudia muttered, touching the bag that was slung over her shoulder. The bus approached the group of three, parking at a distance ahead of them. For the first time since Claudia had interrupted their discussion, Lut spoke. “Are we ready?” Nodding, Aurora found herself wondering if Lutenant's anger towards her was because of her persistent need to push herself forward, or if there was something else attached. * For the first time in days, Richard made it to
After hours
By the time the sun had set and the rest of the team members who had come to the outskirts had begun to leave for their various homes, Aurora was hungry and aching so badly for her bed. She smiled at Lutenant, who seemed to the brightest one of them all, how he was still smiling even after such a long day was baffling. To her, it was what made him their superior. Because she couldn't even imagine herself smiling after such a tiring day. “So, what do you say? What is your suggestion? Which buildings do we start working on first?” Aurora almost told him that she performed better as a worker when her stomach was filled and she had eaten, but decided to clamp down on her words by smiling instead before replying. “Definitely the administrative building. It looks okay, but a little painting needs to be done. We're going to be having a lot of clients come in, right? If that is the case we need to make it look very good, comfortable for ever
Bail or betrayal
Her social life back in college was good. It was just that life grew serious after a while, and she retreated into her shell.But she always tried to have fun whenever she could.“We're hoping there are no damages whatsoever to this company, right, Mr Frederickson? Tricking us has its consequences, you know.”It was one of the lawyers, a stern faced man called Terry speaking.Mr Fredrickson shook his head.“I would never do that. I support whatever Lutenant is about to do here and respect him and his company way too much. I can't do that.”“Good. If that is the case, you can sign the final document releasing the company which was once yours to its new owner.”The scribbling was done in a few minutes.Aurora watched Lut stand to his feet, a spring in his step. She could literally see the happiness on his face and his every movement.“Thank you for this, Mr Fredrickson. I cherish this opportunity to lead your company, and trust me when I say I will do my best to maintain the standard yo
The take over
Moving in the bus alongside two lawyers from Jimmy's law firm, which was the firm that his company always patronized, Lutenant James felt ready for what was the final lap of the company he had just purchased.He wasn't happy. In fact, he was elated.He had seen what he was about to do grow from an idea to reality. And without doubt, he was going to do everything in his power to make sure that the company got the status that he was aiming for.Next to him was Aurora, who was gradually sipping her iced tea.Staring at her lips briefly, he knew that trying to forget that he had kissed her during Natalie's housewarming party was never going to happen.The kiss was at the back of his mind, reoccurring, time and time again no matter how hard he tried to avoid it. It seemed inevitable.“You've looked at my tea so much that I'm beginning to worry you might want a taste.”He laughed, running a hand through his hair.“I admit that I should've brought something along with me, even water at most.
Under the radar
“Oh, I understand you well, sir. But getting in touch with this transport company will do us a lot of favors.” She paused, looking around for heads nodding in agreement, and when she saw it, she continued speaking. “The consortium is a huge institution, and I know that at one point or the other, we're going to need multiple means of transportation. This is where they come in.” It was just a contribution, but Lut felt worried. Why was it looking as though she had sabotaged the meeting? He couldn't wait to end it. Claudia always succeeded in making him so nervous no matter how hard he tried to hide it. “That's a brilliant contribution, Claudia. I like that. Oh,” Lut added, smiling and raising his hands as though it was clasped in prayer. “Forgive me for not introducing her sooner. Everyone, this is Claudia, our new intern. She's working under Aurora for the moment, so you're going to be seeing a lot of her and hearing a lot of those b
Work force workshop
Because director Edward had given her the permission to be under Aurora, Claudia had followed her to the hall where executives had their meetings. Seeing her there made Lutenant uncomfortable, but he didn't show it. Instead, he tried to focus on the team members that Aurora had chosen. They were all good workers. Ranging from Mr Green, to Doctor Gregory, Alicia, Aurora herself, and Mr Bedford. Lutenant had worked with them previously on the Deja Vu project, and could attest to how hardworking and creative they were. He needed people like them by his side if he wanted the new company he had just purchased to move forward. “Thank you all for coming here. I'll try my best to be as brief as possible because in an hour or two, we'll be on our way to the outskirts where y'all will take your first tour around the company we have just bought.” He paused, looking at each and everyone of them. He knew Claudia's eyes w
