Chapter 28: This is Your Shop?

Click!

Luck, the maid who accompanied him to his room, locked the door as soon as he entered the room.

He tried to open the locked door to make sure, but of course, the door did not open.

"Locking the door is the right decision but..." said Luck with a smile on his face.

Looking at the other door to the toilet in the room, Luck said, "There's another door here."

...

Thinking that his mother might be at home and that it would be dangerous to suddenly appear in his own room, Luck decided to enter the house normally and went through the toilet door in the room he was locked in.

'I must have been out for a long time in Gliese, it's already late at night,' Luck thought as he walked in the door of the house and realized it was pitch black inside.

'Mum must be asleep if the lights aren't on, thank God.'

But suddenly the lamp flashed! 

Although his eyes were blinded for a moment by the sudden light, when he came to his senses, he realized that what he feared had happened.

His mother was sitting on the sofa, looking at him with red, angry eyes.

As soon as Cocktail, which Luck had taken out of his room and brought into the living room, saw Luck, he started singing, "Mummy's angry! Mummy's angry! "he started squealing.

"Shut up your bag of feathers!" his mother shouted angrily at the bird.

Luck realized that his mother was really angry when Black was nowhere to be seen and Smart was warning him.

Luck ran to his mother with a worried voice "Mummy, what happened to you, your eyes are red!

Do you have high blood pressure, get up, and let's go to the doctor!"

Pushing Luck, who was examining his face with fake concern, his mother said, "Cut the nonsense! You know my eyes turn red when I get angry!"

Luck "Are you angry?" with fake ignorance "Why are you angry mummy?"

Luck's mother realized that Luck didn't know why he was angry. "Where have you been since yesterday?" pointing to the clothes he was wearing in Gliese "And what are you wearing?"

"Since yesterday?" Luck froze in surprise. Looking up at the clock he saw that it was 23.15 'I went to Gliese at noon if I haven't been home for a day like my mum said... oh my god I've been gone for about 36 hours!'

Luck looked at his mum as he broke out in a cold sweat and thought, 'Now I'm fucked.'

Luck's mum, who started stomping her foot, said, "I asked you a question! Where were you and what are those clothes you're wearing?"

There was a storm in Luck's brain. 'Oh my God, she must be so mad she's stomping her foot!

How am I going to explain where I've been since yesterday? What about the clothes I'm wearing!'

His mother's voice grew colder as she realized that Luck was silent and looking left and right

"And why is your phone switched off? Didn't I tell you it would be on when I called?"

When his mother asked Luck about his phone, Luck seemed to feel that his soul had left his body.

"I went to a costume party! I must have lost my phone there!" Luck didn't know how to explain the clothes he was wearing, so he told the first lie he could think of.

"Costume party?" his mum sighed "If you're going to lie, at least lie properly..."

Luck shook his head in denial "I'm not lying!"

"First you said you were opening a burger joint...now a costume party...what's going on with you?"

Luck didn't know what to do when he saw his mum getting up and coming towards him, but he was surprised when she suddenly hugged him.

"You know you can tell me whatever it is, right?" No matter what your habits or preferences are, I'm your mum and I'll always love you, okay?"

'Habits? Preferences? What the hell? 'he thought, but when he thought of the silk nightgown he was wearing, Luck shuddered at the thought of what his mother might be thinking.

Shaking his head hurriedly, Luck said, "No Mum, it's nothing like that! I'm not lying to you! In fact, if you don't believe me, we can go to the burger place I opened!"

His mother's hug suddenly tightened. "I said don't lie to me! What burger joint!"

Breathing in pain, Luck said, "I'm serious, I opened a hamburger place! We can go tomorrow morning!"

His mother slowly loosened her embrace and looked skeptically at Luck's face, but saw no sign that he was lying.

"You're serious."

Nodding his head in agreement like a chicken, Luck said, "I'm very serious, it's been a while, I was thinking of taking you there anyway."

After talking to his mother for a while, Luck retreated to his room and breathed a sigh of relief.

"I narrowly avoided disaster."

Woof! -Owner-

Luck looked at Black poking his head out from behind his bed.

"Did you come here to hide from Mum?"

Black seemed to nod in agreement.

Woof! -That woman is scarier than cats!-

...

 The Next Morning,

Luck was walking happily with his mum, who had taken half a day off work, as he left his house early in the morning and walked to the shop.

'I can convince my mum to quit her job after I show her that Monster Burger is making good money...' he thought.

"Where's your burger shop?" his mum asked as they both walked.

It was clear from her mother's voice that she didn't expect much, but her eyes, which were constantly looking around, revealed her curiosity.

"Almost there" a smile appeared on his face "Are you very curious?"

His mother rolled her eyes "What am I curious about, it's just a small hamburger shop, how many customers can you have a day..." 

Although it was only 9 o'clock in the morning, you could see people queuing in front of a shop.

His mother pointed to the shop in front of which people were queuing and said, "Look at this, this is what a real shop looks like, people are already lining up."

Seeing the shop pointed out by his mother, a smile appeared on Luck's face.

Taking out the old phone he kept at home from his pocket, Luck sent a short message to someone and put the phone back in his pocket.

"A real shop huh."

Luck took his mother's hand and started to walk towards that shop and his mother was surprised "Are we in the queue too? 

Luck's mum misunderstood his intentions and said "We didn't have breakfast to eat at your shop, you don't need to buy food here."

Luck gave his mum a mischievous smile "No we're not queuing".

As they walked past all the people waiting in line and towards the shop door Luck's mum said worriedly "Luck we have to queue, we can't just get in front of people."

Just as Luck and his mum got to the door of the shop the door opened.

"Welcome, boss!" 

It was Albert who opened the door and welcomed Luck and his mum.

Luck's mum looked from Luck to Albert, her mouth hanging open in surprise.

"Boss?"

Amused by his mother's puzzled expression as she tried to understand what was going on, Luck said, "Welcome to my shop, Mum! Isn't it a real shop? Hahahah!"

Looking up at the two-story shop, his mother said, "Is this yours? Are you joking?"

Luck giggled with pleasure, "No, it's mine."

When his mother lowered her head and looked at Luck, her eyes suddenly turned cold "What the hell did you do? Where did you get the money to open this place?"

Luck was surprised by his mother's sudden change of mood.

'Am I really such a loser that I can't make money?'
