Trying to keep his cool, he told his dad, "Don't worry, I've got this." He then hung up.

Just then, Luna rushed into his office, all flustered.
"Tim!" Seeing her, Timothy's worries lightened a little. He always tried to keep it together in front of his woman. "Nana, what's wrong?" Luna was on edge. "Tim, my company needs more money. That lawsuit hit us hard, and we can't bounce back fast enough. If you don't help, I might go under!" Timothy's forehead vein popped. Not this again. Always asking for money, without a single thought for Lucas Corporation's share price.
Timothy's mind wandered back to the days he spent studying finance with Lucy. She would not have missed the signs of trouble in the share market this morning, not like this.
Lucy had been by his side, learning the ins and outs of finance and even teaching herself how to paint. She had an eye for detail that Luna seemed to lack.

He pulled away from Luna, frustration written all over his face. "I've got the funding issue under control. We'll talk later.

"Why are you being so mean, Tim? Don't you likeanymore?" she demanded. "I just need your help with scompany funds."
Timothy could not help but feel a mix of anger and amusement at Luna's demanding ways. He found himself missing Lucy's understanding nature. How had he overlooked Luna's flaws for so long?
Luna was always strong-headed, never played fair, and did not seem to dig think things through. She even had trouble running her own company.
On the other hand, Timothy admired Lucy, who kept her business running him. smoothly and always listened to him. Next to her, Luna just did not interest him anymore. He sighed at Luna. "Can't you just stop causing trouble? Don't you realize that Lucas Corporation is in a really tough spot right now?"
