Let Me Stay The Night

“Mr. Lucas, this is very urgent! Would you please help a brother out?” The technical director tried to get in good with Lucas.

To the technical director’s surprise, Lucas replied nonchalantly, “I know I have a sister, but I never knew I had a brother.”

“Uh… I…” The technical director was tongue-tied.

Sebastian, who was standing nearby, was holding back his laughter.

“Mr. Lucas, I can offer to do your homework for you. I just need you to analyze something for me and give me an idea of how I can find a solution,” the technical director said.

The technical director continued trying to convince Lucas, but all Lucas cared about was what the technical director said about helping him with his homework.

“Can you really do my homework for me?” Lucas looked surprised.

Right then, Sebastian tugged at the technical director’s shirt. “Hey, stop it.”

“I don’t need you to fix the issue for me, Mr. Lucas. I just need you to tell me what to do,” the technical -director uttered.

Lucas was sick of doing his homework and dealing with all those words. Seeing that there was still a lot left to complete, he scoffed and said, “That’s easy. You have a deal.”

For the next half an hour, Lucas was busy studying the program’s issue on the couch while the technical director focused on doing the boy’s homework at the desk.

Lucas soon found all the problems, and he used Sebastian’s phone to list down all the problems in the form of an audio recording.

“Fix the program according to the steps I listed in the audio recording. Feel free to come and ask me tomorrow if you have difficulties understanding them,” Lucas said.

Sebastian was keeping a close eye on Lucas when the latter did the audio recording, and he was astonished. Although I don’t quite understand some of the words Mr. Lucas said, his thought process is spectacular. I forgot how talented Mr. Lucas is ever since Mrs. Hadley banned him from using technological devices!

“Understood. Thank you, Mr. Lucas,” the technical director said.

“No worries.” Lucas waved his hand casually.

Afterward, Lucas walked toward the desk and saw the messy handwriting on his homework. Annoyed, he said, “What’s with your handwriting? It looks worse than a child’s! Have you never attended school before?”

“Mr. Lucas, I didn’t write tidily because I was worried Mrs. Hadley might catch us red-handed. What if she thinks someone did it for you?” The technical director looked troubled.
