A Love Story in San Francisco

Chapter 5: The Devil in Your Heart

With his face swollen and currently unfit to meet clients, Lucas was temporarily relegated to analysing material for others at the firm, a job that amounted to the bulk of his internship phase, and Lucas felt unlucky.

The day after the move, James brought his new colleague, Peterson, to meet a client, Billy Trust.

Before Peterson left, he asked Lucas for detailed advice on his previous report, and then after some in-depth thinking, he revised his thinking for this report, and succeeded in saving tens of millions of dollars of investment.

Lucas is very curious about how to do, so and Peterson close to ask him through, the results of Peterson is very polite but obviously very perfunctory said: 'I don't know, I'm also very strange, may be today is very lucky it'.

Lucas is not a fool, he was very disgusted with Peterson's perfunctory reply, but before we left, I was very sincere and told him the whole story, but now it's good, take all the credit and do not tell me about the situation. He was beginning to realise that these colleagues were all approachable, polite and educated on the outside, but in their hearts they all harboured a selfish demon that saw everything around them as its potential prey. He may have been too disciplined, coming into the company with the aura of an outstanding graduate, but was slow to deliver results. He was panicking, but didn't dare to talk to Emma about it, he was afraid that Emma would worry about him.

Emma since nearly violated, on Lucas some dissatisfaction, when rented in Tenderlion is Lucas's intention, originally Emma would like to rent in the east of the security change point, the results of the Lucas must act macho, both to bear their own rent, but also their own to pay back the student loans, so can only be rented in the Tenderloin. Lucas was a man of many talents at school. His face was extremely handsome, with a strong angular jaw and a high nose that formed a tough exterior. However, the most attractive thing is his powerful eyes, they are deep and full of wisdom, as if they can see into people's hearts, revealing an unspeakable charm. When he opened his mouth, the humour that flowed from his language was even more compelling, and he could always make those around him feel relaxed and happy with a witty joke or a clever metaphor. His presence was like a vivid picture that one could not help but be drawn to him. However, after work, she felt more and more depressed by Lucas, every night Emma wanted to talk to Lucas more about his work, but Emma often confused financial terms, Lucas also has some deliberate concealment, and gradually like to lead the topic, Emma had to relentlessly talk about every day to see the rich people and agents.

On the night that Perterson recovered his investment, Emma was lying in bed chatting to Lucas:

‘You know, this Catherine's family asset agent, Alongso, is a handsome 30 year old guy with a pair of blue eyes and brown hair, kind of Hispanic looking, and he manages a billion dollars in assets, and says he can give out $10 million a year to charity.’

Emma shapes up to say she met the agent today

‘How was he able to get this family trust to manage, I'm so envious, I wonder if I could get him to invest a little bit on top of High street Capital? ‘

Lucas said casually as he was preoccupied with his own performance.

‘Then why don't I ask him out next time to talk about it? ‘

‘Emma, that's not very nice, will it affect your work’

‘It's part of his job to help the rich with their asset allocation, I think it's just a matter of giving him another option, he needs investment advice from organisations like Highstreet Capital too, it should be fine, come on Lucas’

‘That's great Emma, thank you so much, I love you.’

Lucas then kissed Emma, one kiss wasn't enough and then another and then the two hugged each other for a second.
