"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.

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
Fractured bliss
“Well, Darren usually handles all this kind of stuff, you know. But come with me, if he sent you my way, then it's for a reason.”“Oh, I'd surely love to work with you, miss Aurora. I need your guidance and that helping hand.”Despite the fact that she was pleased to hear herself being described in that manner, she decided not to show it. She smiled shyly, and at that moment, the elevator stopped.“Here we are. I'm sure you know that I am Mr Lutenant's personal assistant, and that I handle most of his work for him, especially when he's busy. So for the moment, you're going to just watch me, and take notes.”She opened the door to the first office before Lutenant's own, which served as her office.It actually looked like a hallway or a passage before Lutenant's office,but she didn't mind. To Aurora, the size of an office or the extra space would never determine her output.She loved her job, and wanted nothing more than to prove that she could always be counted upon when needed.“Well,
A valuable asset
“Oh, it's fine. I wouldn't have done most of it without Aurora, by the way. You're her boss, right? I saw you guys dancing earlier on. She's a keeper, you know? Quite harsh and strict, but she knows what she wants. Ain't that right, boys?”Lut smiled, even though he was slightly tirritated. He knew it was a men's thing to talk about women, but wasn't he about to get married? Some things were best left unsaid.The two men, who were taller versions of Carl to him, grinned, and shook his hand.Just then, Natalie and Aurora approached the circle, smiling.“Our best guests are about to leave, babe.”“Oh, yes,” Carl said with a huge smile. “Lutenant here was just telling me.”“I owe you a gift, Natalie.” Lut said as the group made their way to the door to see him and Aurora off.“Oh, thank you. I'll be expecting it. Don't miss too much, Rora. I know you won't see food like mine in a long while, which means you can start coming down here to eat if you miss my cooking so much.”The group bur
A breath away
“Thank you everyone for coming once again. You've made something as common as a housewarming party a memorable one for me. I won't forget this, ever.”Aurora watched the entire mini speech with a special kind of warmth in her heart. She had never seen Natalie so happy.“One, two, three!”The crowd counted with the couple as the knife came down. There was scattered clapping, and then it was then readjusted into a beautiful round of applause.Grabbing a flute from an attendant who was walking by, Carl raised the flute.“Everyone, grab a glass please.”“Aurora? Can you help us make a toast?”Aurora had not seen that coming. Naturally shy, she raised an eyebrow and felt her skin burn under the gaze of the entirety of everyone who was in the room. However, she made her way to the front of the crowd, then raised her flute.“To a life of happiness, endless celebrations and every good thing in the world. To Natalie and Carl!”“To Natalie and Carl!”There were clinks as flute brushed flute. Sh
House warming bliss
The roar was deafening. Two pops followed, and in a minute, she was drenched with alcohol. Aurora smiled in satisfaction, enjoying the shock and surprise on her best friend's face.Carl slipped out of the crowd in a moment, holding a card that said boldly, “Welcome to our home, Natalie. I will always love you.”Natalie burst into tears on seeing the card, and immediately fell into his arms.The crowd burst into a series of cooing, and Aurora stole a flute of champagne from an attendant’s tray, chugging it down and satisfying her thirst.“When…when did you do all of this, Carl? How did you plan this?” She looked at the crowd and the decorations, her hand scratching the back of her neck in confusion.“I wouldn't have done it without the help of your best friend here, Aurora. She helped me. We did it together. You have a wonderful friend, babe. She's a keeper.”“You knew?” Natalie asked her, as she struggled to wipe the tears from her eyes.“Of course I did. Can you imagine Carl doing al
