Lucian a twenty years old yong adult who lost his parents at the age of ten ,he inherited his family company as the sole heir and his demanding nature and expectations have earned him a high reputation as a strict and ruthless boss.
After a particularly grueling day , Lucian's drive home interrupted by a call from his girlfriend (Karen )
Karen : hey
Lucian : what
Karen : I'm sorry but I can't do this anymore
Lucian : do what exactly
Karen : umm to cut the story short, let's break up
Lucan ok ( he said then ended the call)
"As Lucian navigated the evening traffic, his mind still preoccupied with the day's events and the abrupt breakup call, his car was suddenly hit by another vehicle. The impact was jarring, and Lucian's stoic demeanor momentarily faltered as he assessed the damage and situation."
"As Lucian stepped out of his car, his anger intensified upon seeing the delivery bike jammed into his vehicle. And to make matters worse, the culprit was a young woman, frantically apologizing as she assessed the damage. Lucian's gaze narrowed, his tone icy as he demanded, 'You're driving a delivery bike? Do you even know how to operate a vehicle?' The woman's eyes widened, and she stuttered out an apology, but Lucian's irritation only seemed to grow
Lucian: sorry , is that all you know how to say
Pearl : mm what else should I say, and umm well I don't really have any money right now
Lucian : so , won't you pay for the damages you have caused
Pearl : sir please , I gat no money, please bear with me and I gat to deliver this order ( she said while entering her bike then she drove away)
Lucian watched pearl drive away frustration simmering instead of chasing after her, he decided to head home , hoping a cool shower would calm his racing thoughts
As he arrived at his sprawling mansion, the gates swung open and he drove up to the entrance, stepping out of his car, Lucian felt a sense of relief wash over him. He entered the grand foyer, dropped his keys on the console table and made his way to his bedroom
The luxurious space, adorned with sleek furniture and artworks, felt like a sanctuary , Lucian shed his jacket, tie and shoes then headed to his ensuite bathroom
The warm water cascaded down his body easing his tense muscles. He stood under the showerhead, letting the water wash away the stress of the day
Refreshed, Lucian wrapped himself in a towel and walked to his closet , he dressed in a comfortable attire a crisp white shirt and dark jeans . downstairs he poured himself a glass of fine scotch and stepped onto the balcony, overlooking the meticulously manicured gardens
The sound of phone buzzing broke the silence. It was his assistant Noah, calling to discuss urgent business matters. Lucian hesitated, then answered before diving back into work mode
After the call, Lucian switched off his phone before sitting down on a plush outdoor sofa on the balcony, he sipped his scotch ,feeling the smooth liquid warm his throat .The stars twinkled above, and the city lights shone like diamonds below
As he sat there Lucian's taught drifted back to pearl, and his anger resurfaced, he recall her careless driving and her lack of concern for the damage
Meanwhile pearl went back to her small apartment , exhausted from the day event she took a long bath then brushed then after that she wore her night gown and laid on her bed , her taught then drifted to Lucian, she felt a pang of sadness, recalling his angry.
Pearl : I wonder if I would ever see him again or if he would report me to the delivery company (she taught)
As she drifted up to sleep, pearl's mind played a surprising trick on her, she dreamt of Lucian stern face soften into a smile and she felt a strange sense of comfort
Meanwhile Lucian went to his room, laid on the bed and fell asleep, his mind still wandering back to pearl.
