Third person point of view
Leo was the first one to wake up. He finished his routine and went down to cook. He wasn't cooking lunch because Luke told him not to and finished cooking the breakfast. Luke complained that it would be too much work and that it will be too tiring to even make lunch. So Leo didn't object it. Luke got dressed up and walked to the kitchen. Luke saw Leo drinking juice standing near the table. He walked over and stood in front of Leo. " You are cool now ? " Leo asked looking at Luke.
Luke rolled his eyes. Leo put his glass aside. " You don't believe me ? " Luke asked folding his hands. Leo shook his head. Luke hoisted Leo and made him sit on the table. " Hey ! Be careful ". Leo was taken by surprise. " Why so ? " Leo looked away. " You always say you will be gentle but you never are. It is the same every time so.... " Leo's voice died down at the end. Luke chuckled moving closer to Leo's neck. " You speak like you don't like it ".
Leo gulped and blinked a few times. Luke's breath was hitting his neck. He could feel Luke's breath reaching his ear. " You always moan in pleasure and still complain. Not fair ". Luke's lips were grazing his ear shell. Leo could feel his face and ears heating up. He could guess that they would've turned red by now. " Shameless ". " Not my mistake. You look so damn beautiful. Um hmm.... How do you expect me to be a nice guy ? " Luke laughed and pulled Leo's face closer by holding his chin.
" Tell me. Yes or no ". Leo only kept staring at Luke without uttering a word. Luke moved closer like he was going to kiss Leo, but bent a little to the side to pick up the juice. Leo stared at Luke with disbelief. " Ridiculous ". He couldn't help but scoff. He clenched his teeth and Luke took a sip from the glass. He smiled and pulled back Leo who was about to leave. " What now ? " Leo was clearly pissed off.
" Ohhh~~~ Don't be mad ". Luke smiled teasingly. Leo only continued to ignore Luke. " This juice tastes weird ". Leo frowned. " I don't think so. I just drank it. It is good ". Leo picked it up again and took a sip. " It is good ". Luke kissed Leo catching him by surprise. Leo's eyes went wide. Luke pulled away smiling. " Now it is good ". Leo couldn't hide the smile. Luke cocked an eyebrow. " Bleh ! Too cheesy ". He walked away and Luke cracked up.
David was speaking to his assistant and heard a knock. He looked over to the door to see Dean, his best friend and also a business partner. " Hey, come come ". Dean walked in with a smile. Dean took a seat in the chair. " I will call you later ". David said to his assistant, who bowed and left. David then turned to Dean. " How are you ? " " I am fine as always. What about you ? " " Like this, as always ".
They both shared a laugh. They spoke about various things. " Give me a minute ". Dean nodded. David was on a call and Dean waited sipping his green tea. He found a file on the table. It caught his attention. He put the cup aside and picked it up. It was something regarding an art gallery. Dean has always been interested in them. So he was looking through it. When David came back to see Dean looking at the file, he couldn't help but question it.
" You are interested in it ? " Dean looked up. " You know I've always liked them. It looks good too. What is this about ? " David rubbed his chin thinking about it. " Since you are interested, why don't you invest for it ? " David could see the shine in Dean's eyes. " Are you sure ? " David nodded. " I will give you the details, you can just go and contact them ". " Thank you man. I will surely contact them and make an appointment ".
David chuckled at how enthusiastic Dean was. David gave the contact information of Leo. He had them because of the deal from before. Dean asked his secretary to make an appointment, the earlier the better. When Leo found out about this, he asked Zara to make an appointment the next day. Zara did as ordered and informed Dean as well.
Dean walked into the office with Zara escorting him. Zara knocked and opened the door. Leo looked up and stood up with a smile. He walked up to Dean for a handshake. " Please take a seat ". Dean thanked him and sat on the couch. " I've heard you wanted to meet me. Can I know why ? " Dean smiled. " I heard that you were interested in putting up an art gallery and wanted someone to invest in it. So I wanted to personally meet you to speak about it ".
Leo was surprised. He remembered rejecting Luke's offer and Luke even told him that he terminated it. He didn't suspect that Luke might be behind it. If Luke says he did, then it is. So he gave it a thought. " Really ? I am really thankful for your offer. I am so happy to finally be able to put it up ". Dean smiled. " I am very happy to invest in it as well. It has been a while since I've found someone with a great potential. So I wanted to invest in your work ". Leo smiled.
" Thank you for the praise. I am not that great. I am grateful that you are willing. But there is a slight problem ". Dean knitted his eyebrows. " Can I know what it is ? " " The thing is; I am currently working in the company. I don't think I have time to look after both of them. It is going to take some time before I can work on my gallery. So if you don't mind it, I want to ask for time. Once I hand it over back to my mother, I will be able to do it ".
Dean was thinking about it. It might not take much time, so he can wait for a while. He slowly nodded. " Sure. I can wait for some time. You can let me know about the other things as well ". Leo nodded happily. He spoke to Dean about the other matters. They shook hands once again when Dean decided to take his leave. " It is nice to meet you. I am very happy to work with you ". Leo smiled.
" I should be the one thanking you. I will be able to achieve my dream because of you ". " The pleasure is mine. Have a nice day ". Dean left the office and Zara went with him again. Leo smiled happily. He didn't expect this to happen. He wanted to inform Luke immediately.
Luke finished a meeting regarding a contract with another company. The CEO was there along with his secretary. " We are very happy to be able to make a deal with you ". Luke just smiled. " I heard that you cancelled a contract with a big company to go after some cheap company. Is it true ? " Luke raised an eyebrow. The CEO was shocked because of Luke's bluntness and turned to his secretary. The secretary made a guess and whispered in his boss's ear.
The CEO understood what Luke meant. Luke looked up with a strong gaze. " I don't know what you are up to, but I don't want a scar on my reputation later if something goes wrong. What do you think ? " Luke smiled. The CEO smiled awkwardly and cleared his throat. " I will make sure that we make proper decisions ". " That is good to hear ". Luke nodded. They left soon after. Luke knew that Leo was stressing about a few companies cancelling their contracts without proper reasoning.
Luke knew very well that it was because Kayla was collecting information about the companies and giving them to her father. Luke was not dumb. So he planned out a few projects which wouldn't affect him much and was contacting the companies. Their company was always at the top, so none of them rejected his offer.
They also knew very well who to mess with and with whom they shouldn't. So each one of them was slowly accepting his offers. Luke raised his fist for a bump and Ken smiled as he did. They knew their plan was working. Besides these Ken and Luke together have planned it out, to make sure that Kayla's father was going to have a hard blow this time.

Author notice :
My BR loooves Luke's cockiness. ðð So our conclusion was 'Luke......is Luke after all'. ðð
It has been a while since I saw bad boy Luke. I like it. ðð¤©
BR : I want it.
Author : I got it. (laughs)
BR : Now go do what you were doing.
Author : Fine.
That was a 7 rings reference. We just lost it please don't mind us. The work load of project is too much that we are like that now. ðð
Kayla was totally messing with the wrong person to begin with. She needs to learn her lesson. ð
And Leo is going to achieve his dream. We are proud of our son. ð¥ºð¤§
I wonder if you remember David. ð𤣠I wouldn't be surprised if you don't. So it was the one who actually Luke asked for investing in Leo's gallery, but terminated the contract later because Leo rejected it. I guess this helped. I couldn't explain it any better.
Also I would like to thank everyone who has added my book to their reading lists or libraries. It means a lot. Thank you for all the love. ð¤
