||Lucas||
Lucas was determined to quit his job at MoodSpresso and stayed at Michael's place for the time being. He had yet to inform his parents about his decision. Not because he forgot but, because he was certain that they wouldn't even care.
As how Michael mentioned to him before, he had to start living for himself.
Today was January 4th, the day Lucas planned to meet Liliana. The lady suggested they met at Palm Leaf Square, one of the largest shopping malls in the capital city.
Lucas just agreed because the mall was just thirty minutes away from his home. The promised time was ten in the morning. He got out as early as eight thirty, trying to get away from the suffocating atmosphere at home.
'Am I making the best decision?'
Lucas' mind repeated the same question. He spent his time walking around the nearby park next to the mall. The winter air almost froze him but, Lucas kept himself active by walking and jogging around the park.
