THE LUCAS’S MANSION*
Mr Lucas was seated in his study as he tapped his fingers comtiously on the desk. He has been doing that for an hour and it was pissing him out.
His mind kept wandering about the relationship Josh had with Asha. He just couldn’t stop thinking about it, there must be a reason she slapped him in the restaurant and he vividly remembered when Josh warned him not to touch Asha.
” First it was Camdan, now Josh? What is really going on?” He muttered as he gently massaged his forehead.
A sudden knock was heard on the door and he inhaled deeply.
” Come inside.” Mr Lucas said.
The door pushed open and his private investigator walked in and bowed briefly.
Mr Tucker acknowledged him with a nod and sighed.
” Did you find out anything?” He asked as he placed his hands on the desk.
” Yes sir and it’s something shocking.”
” How shocking could it be that your voice is trembling?” Mr Lucas asked and without saying a word his private investigator walked to his desk and poured out pictures from an envelope.
Mr Lucas adjusted his spectacle, as a man who’s aging, he’s eyes sight are getting gloomy. He picked up the pictures and took a closer look at them.
” Who are they?” Mr Lucas asked as he squinted his eyes while pointing at a picture of a ladyand a girl child.
” That’s the waitress and the child alongside with her is her daughter.” The investigator explained and Mr Lucas dropped the pictures on the desk.
” So what has that have to do with what I asked you to look into? If she has a child, how is that my problem?!” Mr Lucas half yelled as he banged on the desk.
” It also concerns you sir, because that child is your grandchild.”
” What did you just say?” Mr Lucas asked unable to believe his ear. His private investigator must be joking right?
” What am trying to say is that, child the waitress is holding is Young master’s child.” The investigator said and Mr Lucas banged hard on the table.
” What nonsense!”
” It’s not nonsense sir, I buried a recorder in Josh’s suit few days ago.” The investigator said as his mind flew back to what happened few days ago.
***FLASHBACK***
Saturday…10:45am*
Josh hurried downstairs as he held his jacket on one of his hand. He carried the car key and wanted to head out of the house when Mr Lucas investigator walked up to him.
” Good morning Master Josh.”
” Mr Dovan… it’s been a while. How is everything?” Josh asked with a smile.
” Everything is fine but are you ok? You seem to be in a hurry.” The investigator said and Josh nodded his head.
” Yes, I need to go see someone.”
” Oh really? But your father called for you.” Mr Dovan said and his smile faded.
” Where is he please?” Josh asked as he wondered why his dad was looking for him.
” He’s in his study Master Josh.” Mr Dovan replied and Josh quickly left heading to his dad’s study.
Mr Dovan looked at the jacket Josh kept on a chair and smiled Triumphantly. He carried it and inserted a small pen in the inner pocket before dropping it back on the chair.
After a while Josh came back and Mr Dovan looked at the jacket briefly before averting his gaze to him.
” My dad wasn’t in his study when I got there…Can you tell him we will talk when I get back? Am already late for my outing.” Josh said with a light smile.
” Of course Master Josh.” Mr Dovan simply replied and he uttered a thank you before leaving.
***END OF FLASHBACK***
” So he was going to meet Asha?” Mr Lucas asked.
” Yes and here’s the recording of their conversation.” He handed the record over to Mr Lucas and Mr Lucas played it.
” Oh, my God, this is unbelievable.” Mr Lucas said with a sad sigh as he finished listening to the recording.
” What should we do sir?”
” Just keep watching for now.” He said and Dovan replied with a nod.

THE LUCAS’S MANSION*
The whole office has been scattered with files and Camdan wasn’t helping as he kept littering the place with more files.
He would throw files and scream afterwards like a psychopath. His eyes has gotten swollen as the result of him crying all night. He had refused to go home and refused to see anyone who came to the company.
Nicole came inside and saw him crying on the bare floor and she shook her head in pity. She moved close to him and helped him on his chair. He was so weak to do anything and he barely eats anything.
” Sir why have you decided to do this to yourself?” Nicole asked and he scoffed.
” Just leave please.”
” Sir, I know you are hurting which I don’t know why or who made you this way…You need to stop all of this.” Nicole said and he banged on the table.
” Get out Nicole… just leave now!” He yelled but she didn’t flinch as she would have done as usual. She wasn’t scared of him anymore and that she was sure about.
” No, I won’t leave because you are losing your mind and that needs to stop!” She retorted and he widened his eyes in surprise. He had never seen her talk to him this way before.
” What did you just say?”
” I said you should stop this madness and focus on your job as a Ceo…do you think that if the chairman kept the company running this way, it could have been this successful?” She asked and a tear dropped from his eye.
” How could you speak to me this way… ain’t you scared of losing your job?” He asked and she smiled.
” Am not scared right now, so you need to stop all this madness. You think if the chairman comes now and see this office this way, he will be happy? No, he won’t… So now get up your bum and ask like the boss you are. I will come check up on you later.” She said and quickly walked out leaving no room for arguments.
Camdan facepalmed himself as tears rushed out of his eyes.
” You are making me go nuts Asha.” He muttered.
