Chapter 35 Susan

• The meeting was not successful, and Lucas lost the company. He was still so young when both his parents died and there was no one responsible enough to take up the leadership affairs then. Due to mismanagement, the company lost a lot of funds and many competent workers left, leaving the company in a state of bankruptcy. Lucas was hoping that when he’d graduated from college, that he’d be able take it up and drive the company forward and back to its former glory but it was too late, the best option now was to sell off the company and return the money to the shareholders, there was no chance of revival anymore. It was truly a tragic moment for him and the whole day had been nothing but gloomy, he thought as he dunked on the twentieth bottle of alcohol spread across the floor of his hotel room.
• He was purely wasted but the alcohol didn’t seem to do him any good. He needed something more; he needed solace, he needed comfort, he needed a shoulder to cry on. Amelia and Bambi weren’t here, nanny wasn’t here, and he couldn’t go to see them now even if he wanted to, for the flight wasn’t till tomorrow.
• He got up from the ground all wobbly and put on his jacket and slippers. As he left his room, he had no direction in mind, he just wanted his legs to carry him anywhere they wanted to. They carried him to the hotel bar, maybe more drinking would help, he thought as he entered, sat on a chair and signaled to the waiter to serve him a glass.
