Lucas's pov

"Hello!" I received the call and spoke.

"Where are you? We are at your place." I widened my eyes hearing her voice.

"Mom? What are you doing at my place?"

"Why? Can't i come to see my son?"

"You can but right now I am at akshita's apartment."

"Akshita? My sweet child. send me the address, i am coming there soon."

"My previous apartment, come there."

"Huh?"

"Yeah, mom. I rented that apartment to akshita since she was kicked out from her previous one."

"You take rent from her?"

"I need to mom or else she won't stay here. She doesn't even know this is my apartment."

"Okay, we are coming there soon." And she hung up the call.

I was about to sit when my phone rang again. I looked at the caller id, it was an unknown number.

"Hello! Mr. Lucas Moretti speaking."

"Hello, Mr. Moretti. I am Rayn, Pa of Mr. Rudransh Singh Rathore."

Oh! I had asked akshita to schedule a meeting with them since I wanted to spread my business in India and he is one of the best businessman.

"Ah, yes, Rayn. What can I assist you with today?"

"Your office contacted us last week to arrange a meeting. Since we couldn't reach your office line, I'm reaching out to confirm."

"Ah, I see. Our office had an early closure tonight. Is the meeting scheduled?"

"Yes, Mr. Moretti. Your meeting with Mr. Rathore is set for this Thursday."

Thursday? That's in 2 days. How in the hell are we supposed to go soon? Even akshita is sick.

"Is it possible to reschedule?"

"I regret the inconvenience, Mr. Moretti. Mr. Rathore's calendar is fully booked for the next month, making rescheduling challenging."

"Understood."

"Shall I confirm your attendance for Thursday's meeting?"

"Yes, please proceed with the confirmation."

"Thank you, Mr. Moretti. Have a wonderful day!" As he hung up. I sighed.

The bell rang, I quickly rushed to open the door. There stood my mom and dad. I smiled and let them enter inside.

"Where's my sweet child?" Mom asked excitedly.

"Sleeping. She is sick with fever."

"What?"

"Yeah, she demanded to eat icecream last night and fell sick." I spoke and sighed.

"You shouldn't have left her eat it. Don't you know winter is approaching soon?" Mom scolded me.

"Mom! You don't know her. She wouldn't listen to me."

"You are an idiot! Where's her room?" She asked pushing me aside. I held her wrist to stop her.

"Mom! Let her be, she slept just sometimes back. She needs complete rest."

"Fine. Tell me, how are you?"
