Chapter 62: Reactions.
Sergeantsville, New Jersey.
Keem, who was seated in her living room alone with a remote watching TV, suddenly tuned to ESPN. She was a huge fan of the Phillies, and seeing there was an event going on, she also stayed on the channel.
She was quite excited to know there was a player that was getting signed today, and he was a genius and will be pitcher for the team.
As Keem was watching the TV, she saw a very handsome man entering the stage. He was wearing a silver-colored suit, and he looked like a heartthrob.
Keem instantly stood up with shock because she had just met this boy some days ago, and after he left, the townspeople convinced her that he was here just to flirt with her and get her father’s money.
"Looks like they were wrong. He is getting so much money, and he’s so young, there will be a line of girls for him." Keem said while seeing the TV, she was quite impressed with Lukas, who was her age and getting signed with a major league.
"What happened, sweetie?" A middle-aged woman came, she was very gentle-looking, and her appearance had a resemblance to Keem. She had dark chestnut-colored hair, and it was pulled back in a loose braid.
"Mommy, come here. Uncle Simeon said Lukas was a very bad boy, right? That he was greedy and many mean things"? Keem asked while she waited for her mother to approach her from the back.
Her mother came and looked at Keem, then her eyes automatically went to the TV, and seeing the boy, she felt this boy is very good-looking.
"Yes, people in the town said a boy came in to check on you, and your Aunt Theresa also said he looked greedy," Keem’s mom said, then sat down beside her daughter.
"Well, that’s the boy they mentioned." Keem pointed at the contract signing Lukas, whose every movement was getting captured by people with cameras.
" Well, he certainly doesn’t need our money, and the way he is signing a hundred million dollar contract, he was here really to do the charity. Next time you meet him, you must invite him to our home to have dinner," Mari said with a gentle smile on her face. She would like her extremely religious daughter to have some kind of relationship, at least with a boy.
" I don’t think he will come, though, we behaved so badly with a god-loving person," Keem said with a frown on her forehead.
Mari, with her fingers, gently swiped her daughter’s forehead to ease her forehead of frowns, and cupping her cheeks with both hands, she said " If God wills it, he will come, if God doesn’t, he won’t. We don’t have control over what he does, right?"
" You are right, Mommy." Keem instantly recovered from her little worries and focused on the TV.
Yankee Stadium, New York.
Joe, who was doing push-ups in the dressing room, was looking at the TV with the entire team present. Everyone was chilling as they just finished the practice, and seeing a new genius pitcher come in, they also wanted to know more about that.
" Hey, Newbie, you faced that boy, right? How is he " A player asked, and you could see his jersey number 2 and name, Jeter.
Joe just stood up from the floor and was walking out of the dressing room when, as he was about to go out of the door, he looked in Jeter’s direction and said, " He can throw a fastball at 115 MPH."
Hearing this, the whole Yankees dressing room went quiet, they looked at each other with astonishment in their eyes.
" He was joking, right?"
" Well, one thing I know about this newbie is he never jokes."
Cafeteria, Princeton University.
Half an hour ago there was an announcement in the whole university to check on ESPN because a student of their university was getting signed into MLB, and students and teachers gathered in the cafeteria, although at first no one cared that much, but after hearing the deal was hundred million dollars, people gathered to see.
" Oh boy! That is a freshma"n
" I saw him playing in the field, he struck out everyone."
" He is so handsome."
Anya and Ashmika, who were watching this in their apartment while eating a pie, looked at the zeros after the one that was flashing when they were announcing how much Lukas was getting.
" No wonder," Ashmika said. She was really worried about using Lukas’s money, but seeing him earning hundreds of millions, they will now go crazy.
" Yes, he’s too handsome," Anya said. She had this huge crush on Lukas, but now it seems it was impossible for anything between them.
Film Studio.
Annie, who was wearing a medieval outfit, came and sat on the chair. Today’s shoot was finished, as today was the first day director was going easy on the cast. After just a single shoot, they packed up. The director was also taking them to lunch.
The whole cast reached a pretty standard restaurant and sat down. Annie was wearing a beautiful cream-colored overcoat, and she also sat very gracefully in the restaurant.
"Holy shit, look at that monster of a contract, he is getting more than our whole movie budget," the director said while pointing at the TV.
Annie looked at the TV, and seeing Lukas, her heart almost melted away. She was actually missing him, and seeing him on TV, she felt lonely even when she was in the middle of everyone.
Back at the conference.
Lukas signed off on the fake paper and smiled at everyone present.
" Alright everyone, now you can ask questions, but remember he is very new to this, so one at a time," Ed Wade said after taking the fake contract paper from Lukas, and he put it inside a black-colored leather folder.
" Lukas, I am from the Daily Star. Can I ask you a question?" A reporter immediately stood up and asked a question directly to Lukas.
" Of course, go ahead," Lukas said with a smile.
