Chapter 111: Chocolate cake
" Is there no one here? " Lucian spoke, as he walked into the bakery shop.
" Oh, sorry I was busy doing something, h- how can I help you, poor ki- sir? " The shop owner spoke as he jumped up from behind the counter.
" I want to buy a chocolate cake hmmm something like this one, but more chocolate. " Lucian said while pointing towards a cake.
" Okay, I can arrange that for you, do you want me to decorate it? " The shop owner asked as he tried to calm himself down, he got nervous for no reason.
" Yes, please draw some cartoon figures or something, how long will it take to get ready? " He said, and looked at the clock on the wall.
" Umm You can come at 5:30, I'll get it ready by then though you will need to make an advance payment of half the price, since that's necessary. " The shop owner spoke with a smile.
" Oh that's perfectly fine. " Lucian then paid the money for the cake.
" Hey, ask him about the car. " Robert whispered while poking his friends legs.
" Ouch COUGH Ah that's a nice car you have there, is it yours? " The shop owner questioned.
" Yes, I have purchased it not long ago, isn't it such a beauty? " Lucian replied glancing towards the car.
" Your father must be very rich to be able to buy a car like that for you, right? " The shop owner probed further.
" No, he is already dead but he left quite a lot of money before he died. " Lucian said, releasing a sigh.
" Oh I am sorry about that, but it's good that you are handling that money so well, otherwise in today's time there are people who would devour all the money of their nephews and wouldn't even show any regrets. " The shop owner said, glancing towards his friend.
" I have two uncles actually and they took some money from what my father had left, but it's fine I don't blame them. My father had left a big secret fund that's much more than what they have taken, so I am fine. "
After saying that, Lucian said bye and walked away from there, then he sat in his car and drove away.
Only after that, Robert stood up with a surprised expression on his face, Lucian clearly looked rich, his clothes, his mobile, his car and even the amount of money he was carrying in his wallet, it all indicated that he is indeed very rich.
" Didn't you say he is dirt poor? Then what about all this? You didn't knows about the secret fund right? Haha "
" Yes, I didn't know my brother had left a secret fund like that, I should have guessed it he would never leave his son with nothing. " Robert spoke in shock then his shocked expression turned into a big smile, as he added:
" Even my 2nd brother isn't aware of this fund, and from what he said it doesn't seem like Lucian holds any grudge towards me.
Hehe God delivered such an opportunity to my doorstep just the moment I asked for some money, hahaha I am going to be even richer. "
Robert laughed out madly, he was already devising a plan on how he could deceive Lucian again and take all the money he still have, his friend saw this and shook his head, then he walked away to prepare the cake.
...
" Looks like I succeeded. " Lucian spoke, as he read the text that Zero was sending into his mind, she was showing him what Robert was speaking.
[ So what do you plan to do by deceiving him? ]
" Nothing much, just take a few things away from him. " He replied, now he was going to make some preparations for the night, he booked two rooms in a hotel and did a few more things.
Just like Monk was expecting there was going to be a big surprise for him, and it would become a night that he could never be able to forget for the rest of his life or as long as he remains alive.
After everything was done, Lucian went back to that bakery shop after parking his car he went into the shop, now Robert wasn't there, he probably went home to deliver this great news.
" Sir your cake is ready, by the way, be careful with whom you trust and how you spend your money, there are always wolves hiding in sheep's clothing and they attack when you least expect it. " The shop owner said as he passed the cake to Lucian.
" Thank you, I will remember that. " Lucian said, after taking the cake he paid the rest of the money and walked away from there.
" Sigh poor kid, they won't leave him alone even after doing all that. " The shop owner sighed, then he began to prepare other orders.

*DING*
After a while, Lucian parked the car near his house and carried the cake towards the door, then he pressed the door bell and waited outside.
Within a minute the gate opened, Angelina was standing there and beside her stood Tess, after seeing that it was indeed Lucian who had returned, a big smile appeared on her face as she hugged his leg.
" Tess, look what I brought for you. " Lucian said as he showed the box to her.
" Brudder bwout what? " She asked without letting go of his leg.
" Let's go inside I'll show you. " He said but Tess didn't move away from his leg, so he picked her up over the other arm and then walked inside.
" Lucian I bought vegetables and some other things, can you check them? " Angelina spoke following behind them.
" Sure aunty. " He replied.
Angelina has trouble in calculations so she wanted Lucian to check if she hasn't been scammed and ended up wasting money.
After walking, Lucian brought plates and spoons then he set everything up on the dining table, all three of them sat there, and Tess stared at the box eagerly.
" Ta-da A chocolate cake for Tess. " Lucian said as he revealed the cake, immediately her eyes shone brightly, this was the first time she was even seeing a cake so close, and it looked so tasty.
" Ch- Chocwate cwake!! " Tess raised both her hands and exclaimed in a loud voice.
Then Lucian gave some to Angelina, he took some for himself while Tess's gaze followed every piece of cake that moved away, then he gave the smallest portion to her.
" Mwore " Tess demanded.
Lucian added some more and placed the plate in front of her, but she still wanted more.
" Mwore "
" Fine I'll give you more but first finish this, okay? " Lucian said, so she nodded and picked up the plate.
She ate a few spoonfuls of the cake and then put the plate back, unfortunately her belly was already full, she wanted to eat more but her belly said no.
" Tess, do you need more? " Lucian asked.
" No... " she said, looking at the cake.
" Don't worry, you can eat it later. " After hearing that, her mood became better.
After they had finished eating the cake, Angelina began to prepare food for all three of them while Lucian and Tess were busy programming.
