Chapter 58: I am Ready.
Lukas looked at the girl in front of him and frowned a little because she was clearly getting pranked or bullied by someone, and he doesn’t like bullies.
"Well, I heard you. Thank you. Can you tell me who you are first while we walk?" Lukas said politely with a smile on his face and then picked up his backpack.
"Yes, my name is Ronda." The girl was extremely nervous, and she even looked young, like too young.
"Alright, Ronda, where do you live?" Lukas asked nicely, as he could guess she was not old enough to study here or she was just a genius.
"I live a little far, but my school is near," Ronda said, then realized her mistake and stopped talking because she just exposed herself.
"Alright. Ronda, tell you what, I will drive you to your home now, but you have to stand up for yourself. Your friend put you up on this, right"? Lukas smilingly asked, he was getting looks from everyone he was passing, but as he was with a girl, nobody approached him.
"Yes, I am actually from Stuart Country Day School. It’s nearby, and my friends saw you this morning and asked me to come here as a punishment and confess my love to you," Ronda said. Frustratingly, she was 15 this year and was getting this kind of treatment on a daily basis.
"Hmm, how about you stop being friends with them?" Lukas asked, and then he entered the garage. Ronda, without a care in the world, followed him inside the secluded garage.
"I am actually not friends with them, they are actually, sigh! Bullies , I want to beat them up so bad, but I will get expelled from school. That’s why. Ronda, saying this, realized they were in a very secluded place, and her eyes began to panic.
"I am also a black belt in Judo," Ronda said in her panic, she was unintentionally going defensive.
"I understand, Ronda. I will just take you home. You are very strong and brave," Lukas said. He also realized the more he talked with an underage girl, the more problems he would create for himself.
Lukas brought out his Ferrari, and Ronda was awed to see a car like this, she had never seen a car like his before, even on TV.
"Very beautiful," Ronda said. She was mesmerized by the car. When Lukas opened the passenger seat door for her from the inside, she immodestly got in.
Lukas just shook his head with a smile. He was quite surprised this girl was a martial artist and a black belt at that. She was a genius in her own right, but she was afraid to fight back.
This has nothing to do with me. Well, I can at least give her a ride.
Lukas took her to her home, it was not that far, and her whole neighborhood was actually quite surprised seeing an expensive car rolling in.
"Ronda, Be brave, you are strong, so letting people know that won’t cause you much trouble, in my opinion," Lukas said while he was still inside the car and Ronda was outside.
"I guess so." Ronda nodded her head and pushed her glasses back with confidence. She decided she would be brave.
Lukas, seeing her look, nodded with a smile, then drove back to his university, then called the coach.
"Damn! Boy, where are you? You didn’t pick up my phone this morning," Henry’s voice came in, he sounded quite angry.
"I am sorry, coach. Where are you"? Lukas asked, he was parked just outside his dorm and was ready to go to Philadelphia as soon as possible.
"I am at the stadium, we have lots of preparing to do, alright? You can just come to the Veterans Stadium by 2 pm. Please wear something nice," Henry said, and then he sounded busy, so after a little bit more talking, Lukas ended the call and drove as fast as he could towards Philadelphia.
He reached the hotel at 1 in the afternoon, so he calmed down a lot, as he was rushing all the way and thought he would be late.
At the reception, the receptionist from yesterday was there, she smiled when she saw Lukas entering the hotel. Lukas smiled back and nodded his head from afar and went there.
" My clothes?" Lukas asked, he was now worried his clothes wouldn’t be here.
" They came this morning after you left, sir. Our butler’s perfectly placed them inside your room, and before placing the clothes, they cleaned your room," the receptionist said with a smile.
Lukas nodded in satisfaction, he now gets why he has paid this much for only staying some days.
"Sir, you didn’t tell me which team you are playing on." The receptionist was a huge baseball fan, and after she heard Lukas was a player , she couldn’t hide her curiosity.
" Well, I actually didn’t play a game yet, you might want to check ESPN today?" Lukas gave her a hint, then winked and left.
" ESPN? Oh yeah!!! They said they will be showing a contract of the decade today live at 3 PM. The receptionist suddenly remembered that Phillies was advertising something like that from a week ago.
" Is he the player? But he is too young to be in the major league. The receptionist dismissed the idea of Lukas being in the Phillies, but she was still suspecting things in her mind.
Lukas reaching his room, saw the room was cleaned and smelled very nice. He first went to the bedroom and was disappointed because Annie was not there.
Lukas took a shower and wore his newly purchased Zegna suit. The suit fit him perfectly, and he was comfortable as well. With the silver-colored suit, he wore his Audemars Piguet Royal Oak to look classy and also wore his gold-chained Patek Philippe Lepine Pocket Watch.
" Nice, I almost couldn’t recognize myself." Lukas, saying this, smiled at the mirror, then applied some newly purchased perfume, took his wallet with his credit card, and left with his car keys.
" I am ready."
