He couldn't seat back and have his faith decide on what he suppose as Butler Andre making a convincing deal with the lawyer, but in actually fact Butler Andre had gone a long way in complying a huge list of situation girl from respectable family using what he thought to be Marcus choice of girls preference into brunette, body size, appearance and so on but what he didn't tell Marcus that this action of his had cause a stir in the city and he had accidentally activated a hidden clause in the will further decreasing the time limit further. He could so see Marcus Grandfather staring at him every moment saying " you couldn't still couldn't get a wife within a week after you held a auction" although he was rather calm when he was with Marcus internally he was confused ,he knew that they had less than a week before they really lost everything for real, tomorrow there was already a hundred billion dollars set to go to charity a few minutes after midday and he haven't told Marcus the situation

Marcus was currently bruising himself in work he was currently looking for a offered that would require someone to pay the Lucas industry a huge amount of money so he could have it emblezzed into a private account while the company will be forced to take money from their storage tank or proceed with the term of contact without the funds since he was basically untouched since basically owned the company in a way but luck wasn't in his way this time as has have found a deal that meets his requirements.

Seeing that Marcus was getting a little bit aggressive with his research Butler Andre quickly spoke" Young master I think that we should take a short break, we could go to the Void restaurant and have a meal their and I have let go some of the workers in the Mansion since we are not able to cater for them but we promise to have them back once the situation becomes stable "

Since he was a little hungry he didn't hesitate to agree with Butler Andre's request and about the latter part of his sentence he knew that he had no choice since they were currently having to tighten his belt, he almost had Butler Andre carry a lunch box for him to work for food. All the running matter that the family was running on was from huge storage of material they have and the Void restaurant that Butler Andre spoke about was one of the neutral zone that his Grandfather left out of his will since it was owned but his late wife in fact she owned it and use to work their as a chef and it was their first had their meeting place before he turned it into a five star restaurant which he and Marcus loved to go and almost all the chef was familiar with him.
