Billionaire's Identity

Chapter 28

******* Freya's P.O.V *******

For one second I felt the ground beneath me shook when I saw Leo with a girl in his room last night. When he said she's his cousin I felt instant relief. Destiny is such a sweetheart. We have so much in common. Every year I spend my time at Howard's during thanksgiving. But this year I want to celebrate it together with Leo. 

My phone rang breaking my chain of thoughts. 

******* Lucas's P.O.V ********

By the time Freya had a shower and came out of the bathroom I wanted to surprise her preparing breakfast for us. This is my first time cooking, especially for a girl! 

I opened the pancake mix and poured some water according to the instructions. Looks like the consistency of the mix is good enough. I spread some butter on the flat pan and then I poured the batter. Everything seems perfect for now but crap how to flip this fragile thing? Looks like it's gonna fall apart any second. It's time for chef Lucas to use his special talent in flipping. I grabbed the handle of the pan and flicked my wrist confidently and there goes the pancake, landed straight on the floor. Another one, another one. I am now an expert in landing pancakes straight on to the floor. 

"Is this a new way of making pancakes? Please teach me too" Freya yelled from behind teasingly. 

"I just wanted to make breakfast for us for a change" I scratched my head embarrassed. 

"Come here, it's easy if you use a turning spatula, just like this scoop under the whole thing like this", she taught me how to make a perfect pancake. 

I proudly placed my yummy pancakes with maple syrup on top and some fresh orange juice on the table. 

"Umm delicious" Freya licked off some syrup dripping from the corner of her mouth. 

"Leo, I gotta tell you something" she mumbled stuffing more pancakes into her mouth. 

"What is it?" I slurped my orange juice. 

"It's Stella, she wants me to help with her wedding shopping. Seems like I'll be staying this week at Stella's but I'll be back by Thanksgiving" she said. 

One week! One whole damn week without seeing her? I just wanted to scream out NO but I know I can't do that, she's no employee in my company that I could control. 

With Freya gone I went back to my penthouse and good that I got the time to discuss our new Home Robotics project with Shimura's company. I gave some dictations to Destiny on the things she needs to prepare.

After a couple of days, the hub has reopened. If not at home I can at least meet her at work! To my sheer disappointment looks like she took some days off from the hub too. Shit, Gavin! Didn't you find a better time to marry? 

"Guys!!!" Pilot screamed excitedly. 

"What's up Pi"? Karen asked on behalf of all our questioning eyes. 

"I have got the record deal with MUSiK MOD" his eyes are sparkling diamonds. 

 "I know you are gonna make it one of these days Bro" Baron fist-bumped Pilot. 

"Thank you so much, Leo, for letting me know about the auditions" Pilot hugged me. 

I knew Pilot is a talented guy. I just didn't want such a talent to go waste. So I asked Destiny to order MUSiK MOD which is one of our subsidiary companies to arrange auditions. I don't know why did I even care about Pilot but it seemed the right thing to do. Though it is a short time I grew closer to the people at the hub. For a change the people I work along with actually like me. Seeing them happy makes me happy. After Freya's remark at Walton, I freakin gave a salary raise to all my employees following the success of the 5G launch. This girl is something else, her righteousness is contagious!

Somehow I got through the week keeping myself busy with the business stuff and work at the hub. It's finally Thanksgiving tomorrow and I can see Freya again.

It's early morning and the familiar bacon and toast smell surrounded me. I knew Frey's home! When I ran towards the kitchen I found someone, not to my taste.
