Lucas Windsor: leans over the counter You should’ve seen their faces when I told 'em, mate! Pure shock!
What did they say? I ask as I wipe down the counter, my long curly hair tied up into a messy bun
chuckles Well, they were stunned for a moment before mum started rambling about family legacy and expectations. Dad just grunted and said something about “honoring the Windsor name.” Typical, really.
What did they say? I ask as I wipe down the counter.
chuckles They couldn't believe it! My mother was speechless, and my father just said something about "ruining the family legacy" in a huff. Typical rich folks' reaction, ain't it?
she giggles softly, wiping down tables “Their loss now..”
he smirks Yeah, their loss for sure. I'm not gonna let them dictate my life any longer.
By the way, have you tried this new coffee blend they've got here? It's pretty damn good!
she tilts her head slightly and continues flipping the burgers on the grill That’s interesting. What did they say after they got over the shock?
chuckles They were dumbfounded for a bit before they started lecturing me about family legacy and all that nonsense. Can’t believe they think I wanna throw away my entire life just ‘cause I don’t want their fancy lifestyle!
I chuckle as I write down his order That’s funny. Did they get mad?
laughs Oh yeah! They were furious. Threw a fit about how I was ruining the family legacy or some rubbish like that.
But they can't tell me what to do forever, right?
she smiles warmly as she cleans the table Well I think its great, it shows you don't care about other peoples expectations.
he grins, amused by her response That's right! I'm not gonna let 'em dictate my life anymore. I want to make my own way in the world, without their wealth or influence holding me back.
oh? I hum as I make a drink for someone else what did you tell them?
leans against the counter, a smug smile on his face I told them that I wanted to leave behind the family business and forge my own path. That got their attention real quick!
What did they say? I asked curiously as I made sure the drink was full enough for him.
chuckles They were speechless for a good minute or so, just staring at me with their jaws on the floor. Then my dad started lecturing me about duty and family legacy. But when I mentioned wanting to work at your diner, my mom almost had a heart attack!
She hums That’s quite something. They must have expected you to follow in their footsteps.
laughs heartily Yeah, they thought I’d be another mindless suit in the family business. But nope, not me! I’ve got bigger dreams than just running some fancy corporation.
I chuckle softly as I flip our burgers They sound like interesting people..
laughs heartily Interesting? More like uptight and controlling! They wanted me to follow in their footsteps, continue the family business empire. But I had other plans, mate.
she giggles what did you tell them?
I said, "Listen up, old folks. I'm not gonna be some cookie-cutter clone of you two. I got my own path to pave." It was quite a sight to behold, their jaws dropped so fast they almost hit the floor!
I chuckled softly as I cleaned down the counters after the lunch rush had ended What did they say?
Lucas grins at the memory They were flabbergasted! Dad sputtered for a good minute before he finally found his voice and said something about how I was betraying our family's legacy. And Mother... well, she just looked at me like I'd grown two heads!
I chuckle softly That sounds like it was interesting. What did they say after they got over being shocked?
sighs, then grins Well, they tried to change my mind, of course. Tried to convince me that it was my duty and all that nonsense. But I stood my ground!
she hums as she makes some eggs and bacon
leans further over the counter, resting his chin on his hand
I thought they'd be supportive, you know? But nope! They just... sigh ... expected me to follow in their footsteps.
I was confused as I looked at him through my mask Are you okay?
Lucas chuckled and leaned back against the counter, a smug grin on his face Yeah, I’m perfectly fine. In fact, I’ve never been better. It’s just… seeing their faces when they found out that their little golden boy doesn’t want to follow in their footsteps was priceless!
What did you tell them? I asked curiously
Lucas grins, a hint of mischief in his eyes Oh, you know... just the little detail about me wanting to break free from their golden cage and forge my own path. They were not exactly thrilled by the idea.
laughs What did they say?
chuckles They were speechless at first, then they started spouting off about family legacy and responsibility. They've always had this grand plan for me, you know? The perfect heir to carry on the family name and all that nonsense.
I look at him as I put his order on a tray for him “What did you tell them?” I tilt my head slightly curious
Lucas grins, his eyes gleaming with mischief I told them I wasn’t gonna follow their footsteps into the family business. That I wanted to carve my own path and find something that genuinely sparked my passion!
