"How about expanding the business?" Harvey suggested

"To what? Wanderlust is about cars, and what we do everything with them. Opening different branches is not an option until we complete our studies," Raiden said popping a cherry in his mouth "Now that we'll go to Ithaca to study, it's going to be harder,"

"We could always hire someone, Archer," Harvey said

"We could. But it's always better when we do it ourselves," he countered. And boy, he did have a point.

"But we got to focus on our studies too," Harvey said "It's not like we could stop it and focus on business. And we can't shut Wanderlust either,"

"I know," Raiden answered, deep in thought.

We can't shut Wanderlust either.

We can't. We can expand it. Make it a brand. Hire people. And work in it a few months harder and then we can focus on our studies. Besides, our college doesn't start until mid-September.

"Guys, we could make Wanderlust a brand," I planted slowly.

"Explain," Harvey encouraged me to say further. And Raiden was looking at me with an intriguing face.

"Well, we already modify automobiles as our clients demand. Then, why don't we fabricate models keeping in mind our clients' demands? Ford, BMW, Volkswagen, Peugeot, and other brands are doing the same. What will make us unique will be the style, design, and specifications of our models? What the usual cars have with modifications, our models will be manufactured with those. And we aim for people's comfort," I explained, pouring my ideas

They both looked at me dumbfounded and admiration. I could see a proud smile stretch out on their faces.

"That sounds really nice. It's going to be hard with so much competition. And not to forget all that work it'll come with. Also, it's going to be expensive as hell for starters. And if we fail, then all that money? Pfft-" Harvey voiced with wide eyes.

"Not to forget we will have to dedicate way too much time to this if we make our first model. We'll need sponsors. And more mechanics and engineers, graphic designers... We're no experts and we definitely need expert advice. Hell, we aren't even professionals, and we still need a fucking degree," Raiden said running his hand through his head.

"You guys are right," I admitted.

Now that I think about it, right now there was no way we could pull it off due to the lack of knowledge. And we knew it.

"It's a great idea, but we need to hold it off until we complete our studies," Raiden concluded

"Yeah," Harvey nodded "So, what do we do now?"

Back to where we started. What do we do to bring up Wanderlust?

That's a million-dollar question.

"Let's go to the beach. You guys need a damn break from all this. Ideas aren't going to pop in your heads if you keep sitting here like idiots looking at each other's faces. Come on, let's have some fun right now. I'm sure, you guys will think of something later," Iris finally spoke up after watching us three discuss and come to no end for an hour.

"She's right. We need a break," I agreed "Come on, boyz, the beach is calling,"

"I swear I will chop off your balls and feed them to a fucking cat once I catch you!" Iris sprinted at Harvey who was running away from her after throwing her in the water.
