Saying this he left his bedroom and locked the door from inside, he didn’t want to see her face, it hurt him a lot, but he was not a weak man, who would cry over it, but he was very hurt and he wanted to be alone for some time.
Catherine signed the document and walked out of the house without even thinking for once.
Lucas thought that she would at least try to explain, but he was wrong.
Lucas didn’t sleep the whole night, the next morning he went to visit Alex and Alice, they were surprised to see him early in the morning.
Being mother Alice understood that something is not right with him, she immediately asked him, “Luc, what’s the matter?”
Lucas didn’t hide anything, and told his parents everything; it came as a shock for all, that Lucas had divorced Catherine.
They knew how much he loved Catherine, how much he pampered her, but what she did was really bad.
Alex and Alice consoled Lucas and suggested to him to be strong, but inside they were a little happy that their son was out of such a mean relationship.
Lucas spent the whole day with his parents as it was the weekend, he felt so satisfied today being with them he felt like he had forgotten them in keeping Catherine happy.
After that day he didn’t even bother to know where Catherine went, he immersed himself in his work.
Alex handed over his position to Lucas; Lucas was very busy in that. Lucas’s secretary retired and Carol took over her position.
Lucas was quite impressed with the way Carol works, even though he was loaded with work but Carol manages his schedule in a way that he gets free time for himself.
It’s been a month since Carol had started working as Lucas’s secretary. Today Lucas came a little late to the office, when he entered the office floor, he saw Carol arranging a cake for one of the colleagues, they all looked very happy.
That colleague said, “Thank you so much Carol, no one have ever done this for me”
Carol smiled in response and all enjoyed and cut the cake, when Carol noticed Lucas’s presence she immediately walked to her office and brought her iPad, and headed to his office.
Lucas was sitting on his working chair; Carol entered after knocking, and gave him his coffee and told him about his day’s schedule.
When she was about to leave, Lucas said, who didn’t hear anything that she said, as he was lost in her beauty.
“What did you get doing this?”
Carol didn’t get his question and asked, “Sorry, Mr. William, what are you talking about?”
Lucas continued, “What did you get for bringing a cheap cake for your colleague who is not related to you?”
Carol smiled and said, “Mr. William, it not about the cheap cake, it’s all about the happiness she felt, and one more thing Mr. William gifts are not cheap or expensive, it’s about the feeling you have for the person”
“A cheap gift can also make people happy, as you have seen just now, only expensive gifts can’t make anyone happy” saying that Carol left the office.
After Carol left Lucas was lost in thoughts, as much as he knew, he was able to make Catherine happy with expensive gifts only.
He always thought that money can buy all the happiness in the world, but today he realized that he was wrong, not all things can be bought by money.
He cannot deny that he saw a new perspective on life because of Carol’s little act, he was really impressed with the way Carol thinks.
For a moment he thought that that person would be lucky whom Carol would marry, but the next moment he felt jealous of an unknown person, his heart told him that she can only be his; she can carry only his name, he can be the only man in her life.
A month passed and everything was going fine, Carol was great in her work, and Lucas also took over Alex’s position properly.
Alex and Alice were on vacation for the whole month so when they came back to the city, they went to meet their children one by one, surprising them.
First, they visited Alexa, everything seemed to be fine at her end, she looked happy. Alice was happy that her daughter got the right life partner.
After that, they went to meet Daniel, but Daniel was not at home. When they called him, he said he was out of the country for some race.
At last, they went to meet Lucas in his office. When they reached the office, no one stopped them, they directly headed to the president’s office.
When they entered the office they saw Carol and Lucas working. Carol was very happy to see Alex and Alice. Alice always liked Carol. She walked forward and hugged her.
After exchanging a few words, Carol left the office to arrange coffee for them.
Even after Carol left the office, Lucas was still looking at the closed doors, he looked a little lost.
Alice noticed it and cleared her throat to grab Lucas’s attention.
Lucas was pulled out of his thoughts when he heard Alice, he smiled awkwardly and asked, “how was your vacation?” to divert their mind.
Instead of replying to his question Alice said, “I really like her, I will be very happy if she becomes my daughter-in-law”
Lucas understood his mother’s intention and said, “Mom, you really think I am going to trust any woman anymore, please don’t push me in all these again. I can never trust or love someone in my life”
Alice said, “Lucas, you cannot judge everyone like this, all girls are not the same and moreover…”
Before she could continue, Lucas interrupted her saying, “Mom, I don’t want to talk about it”
