chapter 5-5 who is Mr Lucas?

I see my father escorting a man to our car park. Sudden the man looks up straight to my window, our eyes met... What? It's Mr. Lucas. He smiles and smirks. I quickly close the window, my heart racing. I fall back onto the seat near the window, knowing that James, my loyal bodyguard, has noticed my reaction. Just as I try to gather my thoughts, the door to my room suddenly opens.

"Oh God! Lucian! How are... you? I really missed you," I exclaim, excitement flooding my voice as I see my younger brother standing there. He looks tired and stressed, and I'm relieved to see him.

"Jessy! I'm happy to finally pay you a visit after months of not seeing each other. Sister, let's have a discussion," he says, his voice heavy with a sigh.

I motion for him to come in and take a seat. "Of course, Lucian. Sit down. Tell me, what's been bothering you?"

He takes a deep breath and begins to share the challenges our family's company is currently facing. "I just don't know how ruthless I've become. I never back down, I'm always strict when it comes to work, all to succeed. But now, I have a problem with my relationship... Abigail broke up with me. She says I'm a workaholic, and despite my efforts, our company is still heading towards bankruptcy," he admits, his voice cracking.

I can see the pain in his eyes, and my heart aches for him. I reach out and place a comforting hand on his arm. "Lucian, remember that success isn't just about being the toughest. It's also about being adaptable, empathetic, and smart. As for your relationship, if Abigail truly loves you, she'll understand your struggles and be there for you. But remember, always be yourself, express yourself, and have faith in yourself. Don't try to become someone else just for the sake of success."

He manages a small smile through his tears. "Thanks, Jessy. I needed to hear that."

"Anytime, little brother," I reply, giving his arm a reassuring squeeze. "Now, let's focus on finding a solution for the company's troubles."

Lucian's expression becomes more determined. "You're right. We'll find a way to navigate through this. But what's the next step?"

I smile, feeling a surge of determination myself. "The next step is to gather all the information we can about the company's situation. We'll analyze the challenges and potential solutions. And most importantly, we'll stand together as a family to overcome this."

Lucian nods, his confidence growing. "You're always the voice of reason, Jessy."

"Let's face this challenge head-on," I say with conviction. "We're strong, and together, we'll turn things around."

As we sit there, united in our determination, I can't help but feel a renewed sense of purpose. Little do we know, our family is about to embark on a journey that will test us in ways we never imagined.
