"What? Missed me?" Kelvin majestically walked to a sofa close by and sunk himself in.
"How lucky you are kelvin today. Else you were gonna be late for Dave's meeting by eight"
"Hmm. Really? He's holding a meeting?" Kelvin repeated.
"Yes. And I wished you were late today as always then maybe Dave would have to deal with you....maybe deny you of your salary for a month. Sounds fair" Lara walked up to him folding her hands.
Kelvin smiled" Little Lara .. how can you think evil of me? Are we not a team? Or .....maybe you're still angry from the little love tip I gave you? Don't blame me ..you're too blame for exacting it so poorly"
"You.....you still have the guts to talk after your shameless behavior? What a jerk!"
"Don't blame me for that... besides, unlike you who's jinxed in love, I'm highly lucky! Look how my luck drove me to work early." He boasted.
"I'm jinxed? What a mean jerk" Lara snapped.
"Don't mind him. I'm the one who came to his apartment when he was still in bed and beat him up. I figured it was high time he took his work seriously and become more punctual" Gabe who had take a seat too stated with a calm smile.
Kelvin glared angrily at Gabe. "You talkative! Do you take Pleasure in humiliating me?! You should be glad I let you off for disturbing my beauty sleep. Next time I'll lock up my house from invaders like you"
"Then I'll kick the door down" Gabe replied. He might be calm but he knew how to return words.
"Here you are bragging about luck. You're even unluckier than anything! Just tapped from Gabe's luck" Lara then looked at Gabe and Ryan. "Everyone get ready for the meeting by eight. That's all" She walked out of the office room.

Lucas didn't sleep through out that night. He was literally awake throughout, lying on the couch and looking up the ceiling. The day had broken and the sun out.
It was already 7:50am and no one was up in the house. Lucas sighed as he slowly sat up. He looked around. He was feeling bored and looked for something for do.
Looking at sunni's room door, knocking there wasn't an option. Perhaps it was one of the rules she had placed of staying away. He thought.
Then he stood and strolled the sitting room admiring the place as he came across a sweeping stick. He stared at it as he slowly recalled it.
"This is the object people us to clean the floor...." He picked it up and then began sweeping the floor. The instrument was easy to use that he felt satisfied with it.
He cleared the sitting room and then while raising up the pillow on the couch, an envelope fell down.
He picked it up and opened it only to see some money in it. Ignorant of it, he sighed as he threw the envelope with money on the floor and swept it along.
Then with the basic knowledge of this chores, he packed them up in the dumpster and threw them out outside.
Satisfied with himself, he then went back to the house.

Sunni was done taking her bath and dressed in her plain blue shirt and black skirt above her black leggings. She had her hair loosened as always.
After that, her phone rang and it was from Hana. "Hello? How's your date going?"
"So-so....He had something urgent so he left, he'll be back soon. But that's not the problem, wanna tell you something"
"Okey. Speak"
"Well as a good friend of yours, Before I left, I decided to give you a red pocket (Money)"
Sunni's expression lit with a smile" Really??"
"Yeah. I forgot to tell you, just remembered it now. Well i put the huge money in an envelope and hid it under the couch pillow, you have have it"
"Really??? Oh my gosh thanks a lot! You're the best!"
Sunni quickly cut the line dashing out to the sitting room in excitement. "My money!"
She saw Lucas just entering. She didn't care about his whereabouts but rather went straight to the couch, tossed aside the pillow looking around for the money.
"Where is it?" She asked looking around as Lucas came in.
"What are you looking for ?"
"Don't bother me, I'm looking for my envelope of money!"
.
"Envelope? Money?" He repeated
"You won't know....I'm looking for a paper like object that my friend said was kept here...so don't bother me" She searched thoroughly but to no avail.
"Well I saw something here......"
Sunni quickly paused looking at him fiercely and curiosity."Where is it??"
"Eh.....I threw it away.."
Sunni exploded "You what?!!"
"I was cleaning the place with this sweeping instrument I found and I saw such thing on this couch. I figured it was trash so I threw it along with the other garbage..."
"What??! You're the trash! How could you do such a thing to me?!" She snapped.
He was confused at this expression of hers. Do humans get angry when you throw away garbage?
Sunni didn't know what to do with him. She was panicking and at the same time worried with fury. She didn't know how to handle him right now she was just .....angry!
Just then she heard the garbage truck pull outside. she quickly panicked. " Where is the garbage can?"
"Outside..."
Without waiting , she dashed outside in a rush heading outside.
Few seconds later she was down and the garbage truck had just left.
"Hey! Stop! " She yelled trying to run after it but it was long gone. She stopped halfway panting. Both hands on her knees.
"That was my money you left with....." She was so angry that she felt like a crying.
Now what was she going to do now. She could only recall the face of the annoying Lucas
"That evil guy....was sent to sip me dry of any money coming my way! You old hag! Lucas!!"
"What?"
She stopped and quickly turned to look at him. How did he come behind her so quick? It was like he had appeared
