Chapter 6

Be thankful for all the struggles you go through. They make you stronger, wiser and humble. Don't let it break you let it make you."

Lucas was already late for work and the Manhattan traffic wasn't helping to ease his anger and frustration. He was currently in a taxi going to work after leaving Alicia's. He wasn't the type of be late; he hated it.

Few minutes later Lucas was entering his company with the same clothes from yesterday. Though he cared less about public opinion, he couldn't help but have a glimpse of his subordinates and the look on their faces told the whole story; "he didn't spend the night at home, prove he is wearing his clothes from yesterday," " This is unlike our boss,"

All sort of thoughts were written on the employees's faces and for some odd reason he seemed to be concerned but he wasn't going to show them he cared.

He walked directly to his office but precisely to Luna's desk first.

Luna was the reserved type which suited him because of how cold and reserved he also was but today Luna looked tensed; this worried him, this wasn't good news.

All Luna said when she saw Lucas was

" Mr Sandoval is waiting for you in your office. It seemed urgent Sir."

Luna knew how tensed and uncomfortable Lucas and his Dad's relationship was. She knew better than allowing his Dad into his office without informing him. She mentioned it seemed urgent so he was going to let it slide this one time.

Lucas became even more tense. He hasn't seen his dad in a while. Considering they had such a tense relationship, Lucas wasn't enthusiased to see his Dad and not at this time.

However his dad was in his office and he had no other choice but to go see him.

So after responding to Luna with a curt nod to her statement, he walked towards his office with so many thought in his head.

Gabrielle

After having lunch near her uni, Gaby received an urgent call from her Dad requesting her presence at the company. To her relieve she was done for the day. She decided to inform André of her sudden departure.

Gabby immediately took her leave. She tipped the waiter and decided to leave. Gabby then decided to take the public transport today. Though Manhattan's sun was hot it was not scorchty; he wind blew nicely and calmly; the sky was blue and complemented its environment; the Manhattan traffic was as hectic as always . It is always a wonderful day like today. Gabby got into the public transport and reached her father's office in no time.

No bad omen could disrupt her good demeanor.

Her dad's business which is known as Sanchess Co was known for its chic and modern grandeur. The mesmerizing building was made of glass and had taken over 5 years to terminate it . The glasses were filtered blue and though it was modern it also gave off some Ancien vibe. This building had about 25 floors; nothing too extravagant or too much. Gaby always felt proud of her dad's hard work and looking at where it is now, one can conclude that it paid of to start such project.

Gaby entered the building and was greeted by that well-known office paper and work fragrance. Every one was busy around moving things here and there and making sure everything went accordingly.

Every time she entered this building she couldn't stop herself from savouring how beautiful it was and how it always seemed to be looking more and more beautiful as though it was rebuilt. Gaby knew that if decided to savour the beauty of the company she will stay here the whole day with this thought in mind she made the decision to take the classy elevator to the 20th floor to her Dad's office.

Luca Sandoval

Luca who had come back from Alicia's was currently sitting in his office opposite his father he and his dad had quite a strained and unstable relationship. Ever since his mother died, things had been tensed between them. So his dad visiting now after several months was out of the blue. To make things worst, he came at the wrong time.

"What do you want?"

Luca asked.

"Is that how to greet your dad who you haven't seen in years?"

Luca just sat in his chair, not bothering to answer that question. He wasn't about to chit chat with his dad.

"What do you want?"

Luca repeated.

Luca's Dad was furious. He had had enough of his son's immature behavior and always treating him like a nobody. He gave birth to him after all.

" Luca I see you are still the cold hearted guy I knew from years ago. If this is how you want it to go, be my guest. I'll go straight to the point. You are marrying an old friend of mine's daughter knowing us you will not agree I have a deal for you."

"You will not object to this deal. I have a good deal which you won't back down from."

Luca was not happy about this. His dad who hadn't really supported him throughout his life couldn't just come into his life and decide his future.

"Father I don't know what you think of me, or what makes you think I will agree to this estúpido idea you must be dillusional and stop thinking I am the son you knew from years ago."

"Luca this proposal will really interest you."

After hearing this deal there was no doubt that his dad knew him more than any other person did.

Gabrielle

When Gabriel entered the elevator she continued to admire the beauty around her. She finally arrived at the 20th floor. She went ahead to walk some distance more. She just realised she hadn't actually sat down to contemplate and think about any possibility of why she was urgently being summoned by her father.

She began to feeling anxious and worried. She hoped nothing was wrong.

All of a sudden her happy self and demeanor wasn't assured to stay for long.

I am sorry for the late update. Exams are getting near. Man is got to learn.

See you guys next Monday.✨
