Between The Leongs
Dilemmas

"Alright, today's meeting is quite up here. I want everything to be revised to be completed by tomorrow afternoon at the earliest. Please, cooperate with the division heads concerned as responsible." Close Lucas, without wanting to linger immediately he left a meeting room that the results were not satisfactory Lucas.

"Good, sir."

The division heads and the representatives of each division who were participating in the inspection meeting hurriedly stood up and saluted with a sense of remorse. They're lucky, Lucas just got word that he got a letter from Asteria, so he tries to end the day with a cool head reluctant to let anyone ruin his mood.

"Good day, Mr. Lucas." Hello to the receptionist.

Lucas nodded his head slowly in response, about to pass him by just like that. However, the receptionist spoke up again.

"Sorry, Sir. The Great Lord has been waiting for you since half an hour ago in your room."

"Why tell me now?" Ask Lucas.

"Sorry, Sir. But, the Great Lord asked me not to tell you, because he knew you were having an inspection meeting."

Sighing in a lazy breath, Lucas continued his steps towards his room. Preparing to meet Grandpa who honestly still feels foreign despite the passing of time since he was legally appointed as part of the Leong family. Meredith opens the door for Lucas, then shuts it back down, letting him in alone for the sake of privacy.

"Grandfather," Lucas called Tian who was struggling with Lucas' table, turning his back to Lucas.

After reading the letter lying on Lucas' desk, the old man turned as if he had done nothing, "Ah, back? How's the meeting."

"Not very satisfying, but, not a big thing." Lucas helped him sit on the sofa for guests. "What's Grandpa here for? Is there a problem?"

"I came to just look around. Are Bryan and Demian still coming to interrupt?"

If Lucas had not remembered that his relationship with his Grandfather was not at all familiar, he would have laughed at his childish uncles and always tried to remove Lucas from office. "Not really, maybe they finally realized it was a waste of time. And I'd rather wait until I find the right time."

"Be careful, don't give them the slightest gap. Remember what the reason I brought you to this family is." Tian tightened the staff, then stood on his legs. Her flat-faced face said she was not happy. "I heard you came late to an important meeting because you were looking for a letter that the receptionist threw away because she thought it was a prank."

Lucas bowed. He was wrong for that one. The first letter from Asteria a few days ago almost got carried away into the garbage dump, the reason was exactly as Tian explained. The desperate Lucas did not think long, and almost forgot all his responsibilities in search of the letter. Because for Lucas the letter was very valuable to him. "Sorry, I'm wrong, my lady. I won't repeat the same mistake, Grandpa take it easy."

"Dignify!" Tian called his assistant, unwilling to care about the reason Lucas presented. The door opened, and Ignati then entered to help her walk. "Rethink everything, before turning back to backfire for you. You forgot what Chris's end is? Don't let you end up as pathetic as your father. I don't need people to fail." Tian's sweat was loud, before he actually left.

Lucas's heart was struck by his father being looked at one eye. And he couldn't defend her. Throat's choked. She pulled off the tie on the collar, panting.

"Good afternoon" Sapa Lucas broke the silence.

The pair who arrived before him, did not give much reaction in response to Lucas' presence. A waiter poured tea into three cups on their table.

Sipping the tea, Lucas asked. "Who will start the conversation?"

"Just go ahead, Mr. Lucas. I want you to suspend custody of Asteria in court."

"Why should I do it? I still stick to my thoughts on our previous meeting, Mrs Sabrina." Strictly Lucas, alternately staring at Sabrina and Navis in front of him.

"Suspend, and I will personally grant permission for you to meet Asteria under certain conditions." Obviously Sabrina is heavy-hearted. "Asteria knows you now. I can't possibly ban it, or make up a lie because you're definitely going to count on my mother and show up again before Asteriakan?"

Lucas was silent for a while, his conscience feeling guilty hearing Sabrina's charges were on target. Yes, Lucas did it for the sake of being able to get time to at least catch a glimpse of every growing Asteria. "What are the conditions?"

"First of all, keep acting like an uncle and never think about telling Asteria who you really are. Second, in the future you can not arbitrarily bring Asteria without my consent and the time you get will follow the flow of your role, as well as the time you get, at least that time was the equivalent of the average time my friend met my son. Think carefully, I'll send you the agreement paper soon." Sabrina pulled her chair back, and got up.

"Wait, requirement number two-"

Navis growled, "Bri, you go to the car first." Her request. Sabrina looked at him worriedly. All the time he knew Navis, he had never seen Navis when he was upset, let alone angry. But now, he could feel Navis' anger lured away. "Navis, man,"

"I won't do anything bad. Don't worry. I'm just gonna talk to him alone, for a second." Dielususya dear head Sabrina.

Lucas captures the appearance of the couple ring on each of their ring fingers which he realizes is different from the couple ring he saw at the Asteria birthday dinner. His premonition immediately gave a signal that was not a good sign to Lucas. He was too busy for that reason, until it was not realized that he and Navis were left at the table.

"Mr Lucas? Can we talk now?" Navis' voice was quieter than before. He managed to master himself like the true figure of Navis.

"Yes." Yeah."

Navis. "As per which my fiancee said earlier. He only gives two conditions that you must follow. Regardless you feel as ready Asteria. Okay I understand your position, although I don't know for sure your reason. Please, appreciate my fiancee. You may feel guilty and responsible for Asteria even though you actually did nothing wrong, but you must remember who raised Asteria so far with great difficulty? You know his mother, right? So I assume you know exactly how heavy my fiance's situation in raising Asteria."

"You've even hurt him too deeply by involving his mother, but he instead offers a deal. Wh why? It was because he thought of Asteria's happiness."

"If you really feel as an Asteria Father, at least this is what we can live together for the happiness of Asteria. But if you refuse. Personally, as someone you don't consider. The real father Asteria had all this time, will personally sue you into court. And make sure you can't hurt the two people I care about the most."
