Luke's pov
After the meeting, Nick left to carry on planning his mission and Dad left to talk with the spies. I stayed with Marc in his office as he was working his ass off.
I exited Cole's office, after studying for tomorrow's exam. I am a bit worried about Ron. He doesn't sound like himself. He was, I don't know, a bit depressed? He wasn't his cheerful self, maybe I should check on him. I walked to his office and knocked on the door
" Get in." He said
" Good evening sir."
" Good evening." He said as he looked at the papers in front of him," Anything serious?"
Well, something is certainly off with him.
" I just wanted to check on you, are you okay?"
" I am fine, thank you."
That's obviously a lie. How should I help him? I don't want to sound nosey or disrespectful while asking him many times
" Can I help you with work?"
Maybe if I help him he will talk after sometime.
" I don't want help. Why are you so annoying?" He asked as he glared at me
What the hell is wrong with him?
" I didn't mean to annoy you sir, I just let me help."
" Help with what exactly? You just keep butting in."
" I didn't intend to. Can I help you with those sheets?"
" Lucas, go play hide and seek and leave me alone."
" I won't leave till you tell me how I could help you. You are not fine. I don't want to leave you in this state."
" Ugh, what can you help with? The girl that I liked has a boyfriend."
" I-i am sorry to hear that."
Oh, that girl he had a crush on... Okay, everything makes sense now.
" I don't want your sorry. I feel like killing that guy."
" I understand you. But look at the bright side you got to know now before taking a step and getting rejected. Don't worry, you didn't lose anything, one day you will find your real love. The love that will accept you like you are." I tried to comfort him
He chuckled," Look at the kid here giving me some love lessons."
I just gave him an unamused look.
" Thank you for your words but now I don't feel like I am in the mood to process them."
" Can I now work with you?"
" You won't leave it? Okay, take, classify those." He gave me like a multi-million sheet
" Yes sir."
Taking his revenge! The bitch!
" Now, tell me how Heaven is." He asked
" She is fine." I smiled
" You are too little to join old people's meetings."
" I am eighteen, sir, do you know that?"
He is back to the regular Ron
" 18 year old little princess."
The insult! Finally! That's my Ron!
" 18 is an adult. And Marc allowed me to join anyway."
He just smirked," Who's Marc?"
" Marc sir, I mean sir."
