"What"
"Nothing"
An awkward silence once again engulfed the room as they both just stared at each other.
All Richard could do once again was sigh. He leaned back on his chair and checked the time on his expensive wrist watch.
It was exactly 4 pm.
"Alright, so Lucious we will continue the session tomorrow. Still I am hoping that you will change your mind........ please do.I owe a huge favor to your godfather, and helping you to get rid of this socialising problem is the least I could do to replay that debt"
Richard said, taking off his glasses and putting them at the left corner of the desk before proceeding to rub his eyes.
" "
The sound of the door opening resounded. Lucious was already at the door, he did not even bother to listen to all of Richard's blabbering. He pulled the door and after taking a glance at the therapist, left the room leaving a tired Richard alone. Now he can have some personal time.
The corridor of the eighth floor was not very lively. There were hardly any rooms on this floor that were bought. This was because the building was built only recently and only the lower floors were bought till now.
Doors to one of the rooms opened and a boy wearing black shirt and jeans appeared.
He went to the lift at the end of the vacant corridor. The lift arrived and opened up, he stepped in the empty elevator. Pushing tthe button to the ground floor he tapped his feet on the floor.
The lift reached the ground floor and the door opend up.
Lucious left the building, comming out under the open sky, his white skin glowed in the shower of the beautiful sunlight.
He started walking towards the mansion which was not very far away from here.
Buying such a mansion in proximity to the market in a big city like Akron was indeed expensive, but then again money was not an issue for William. Working for CCD was a profitable profession after all. You get all the money you want, admiration of general citizens And support of various business groups who want you to sponsor their products. And that was when you were not a squad captain.
Of course the supers were not allowed to reveal their real identity as it would heavily impact their personal life so all of this was done while wearing a costume and using an alias.
But it was still greatly profitable nonetheless. They are literally a celebrities, the only thing different is that their real identities are not known.
One would expect that due to his unnatural appearance Lucious would garner quite a lot of attention on the streets but that was not the case. In fact no one even notices him until they are looking directly at him or they bumped into him.
His presence was very......thin, it was like he was not even there, just like some inanimate object.
This was another thing that was unnatural about this young man.
Walking quietly on the footpath, looking at the display items on the showcases of various shops and the tall buildings on both sides of the wide road Lucious was walking home when something attracted his attention.
There was a cafe on the opposite side of the street to him. If he remembered correctly then this shop was not there last week when he came here for the session. It must've opened the previous week.Such were his thoughts. Lucious halted his steps and stared at the cafe.
The cafe was not that big but still looked nice, there were some people sitting inside the cafe as can be seen from the transparent windows. It looked like a place which would be perfect for some guy who wants to take his girl to a date without spending too much money.
Lucious checked how much money he had on him. After all he cannot cause a scene on the street just for some dollars.
Crossing the street He reached the opposite side of the road.
Up close he noticed that there were actually quite a lot of people here for a cafe which just opened.
Still staring at the people in the cafe, he entered inside.
The cafe was certainly good, not very luxurious but still nice. It had recangular compartments seperating each set of seats. The seats were facing each other and each compartment had space only for two. It looks like the cafe was build keeping in mind the privacy of couples that usually come to such cafes.
Observing the place Lucious started looking for a seat. Most of the sittings were occupied either by youngsters however there were some married couples also. Lucious managed to find one empty seat, one in the corner opposite to the window.
He had just sat there when a young waitress who did not look any more than 25 dresses in typical waitress uniform approached him. She had dark blue hair, black eyes and a pretty face with sharp features. That paired with her cold face made a good combination.
"What will you be ordering sir.... "
She spoke in a cold voice.
"A cup of coffee, I suppose"
