~~FIVE YEARS LATER ~~Tyler's POV;"You're blocking the entrance." Catherine apologised and said after moving away from my cabin, "Sir, you have a meeting with Norman's company at 11 o'clock and lunch with Mr. Hamilton. And..." Before she finished, I asked, "Don't you know I don't like to have business meetings at lunch with anyone? How so? How many years have you worked for me? How can you not remember this little thing and keep forgetting it?" She apologised again and said, "I will ask his assistant to reschedule the meeting, sir." And she left. I sat in front of my desk and turned on my computer. Unwanted files and projects piled up in the trash. Didn't I delete them yesterday? I sighed as I opened the current project to look at it. I called Catherine and asked her, "Have you started working on the new brand I asked you to work on? What level is it at now?" "The ad planning team is done with the layout and the production department found the place for the shoot, sir. We're r
Lucy's pov;While I was waiting in the lobby, I saw Tyler heading straight for the elevator as soon as he stepped inside the company. Should I talk to him? "What are you doing here?" Daniel asked me as I looked at the elevator. I turned to him and asked, "Do you think this will work?" He sighed and said, "If you want to know, come with me instead of staring into space." Daniel and I entered the elevator and when the elevator car went up I felt all eyes on me, so I locked my eyes on the floor instead of looking at them. Daniel put his hand on my shoulder and said, "What's on your mind?" I shook my head and said, "I'm starting to doubt the plan we came up with."He took his hand from my shoulder and said, "Don't worry about it, I'll help you if anything goes wrong." When the people in the elevator got off on the fifth floor, I asked Daniel, "Can I ask you something?""Yeah, what is it?""We've never been on good terms with each other even for a day. And, we got into a scandal beca
Lucy's pov;Someone knocked on the door, waking me up. I brushed my eyes as I got up. Wait, who's knocking on my door? Nobody knows where I live. So who could it be? I put on my clothes and looked through the hole before opening the door. This is Daniel. How did he find this place? I opened the door and asked, "How do you know where I live? Are you following me?" He walked in like he owned the place. I closed the door and said, "I asked you a question, sir." He sat down in a chair and said, "It doesn't matter to a big shot like me." I smiled and said as I walked up to him, "Well, what are you doing here?" "Well, I came for you." "Why?" "The ad planning team is having a little meetup with the newly recruited models which includes you." I sat on the bed and asked, "Is he coming?" "Hold your horses. The CEO of a company does not engage in such activities." I got up and said, "I'll get ready then." Daniel didn't leave, he just sat there like a rock. "What are you still doing here
Lucy's pov;When I entered the office, I saw the models who had been chosen for the work, so I went to them and sat next to them. Owen walked into the room as he yelled into the phone, "Last time when you were caught, it was hard to get rid of that reporter. Don't make a mess as much as you want to -" he stopped for a moment when he saw us staring at him and continued on the phone, "Come to the office in ten minutes." And hung up on whoever he was talking to. He smiled at us and said, "Excuse me. I will briefly introduce TA company's rules because most of them are new here. There are three rules you must follow when working with us. First, do not promote other products while working with us. Second, you cannot work for another company until your contract with us ends. Third, if you are in a romantic relationship, wait until the contract is over. That's all for today. Did you all sign the contract?" As we nodded in unison, he said, "Sweet. Thanks for coming, guys. And one more thing,
Lucy's pov;I apologized to Owen about yesterday, he said, "It's all right. I heard from Mr. Brooks what happened. How is Mr. Anderson?" "He's fine now." He nodded and said, "Go and join the other models." "Thank you." he smiled at me as I walked over to the other models. Today was an outdoor shoot in some dense forest, I bet I leave this place with a tanned face and hands. Celine dressed really well, so I complimented her, she whispered, "We'll be twinning today." "What?" I was surprised to hear this from her because she was wearing a crop top with ripped shorts. I talked to the costume designer about the clothes, but he didn't agree with me. I walked up to Owen and asked him, "Didn't I say I don't wear dresses above the knee or dresses that show my skin?" "Everyone is fine with that, Lucy.""But I'm not. I'm not happy with the clothes you're asking me to wear..." As I argued with Owen, Tyler asked, "What's going on here?" When did he come here? I didn't realize he was ther
Lucy's pov;After a week I came to Mr Anderson's house, there were not as many people there as I expected. I saw Larisa and Lorelei in the living room. As soon as they saw me, they approached me and Larisa asked, "What are you doing here?" "I came to see Mr. Anderson." Lorelei, "We won't let some lowlife meet our grandfather. Get out of this house already." "I don't need much time. I'll be quick." When I tried to enter, I was pushed away on the floor, Lorelei asked, "Who are you to visit him as you wish? It's called trespassing." Diana helped me up and said to these girls, "Why are you acting like Hinderella's half-sisters? Don't you have manners?" She turned to me and said, "Come with me, let's go see him." While Diana and I were on our way to Mr Anderson's room, I asked Diana, "Everyone sees me as some nasty person. I didn't want to come here, but I don't have a choice to see him anywhere when he's in this state." "It's okay. You don't have to explain anything to me." And smi
Lucy's pov;Finally, the filming of the advertisement was successfully completed. Owen clapped his hands and said, "Since the shooting is over, don't leave yet and stay for the celebration dinner." Celine whispered to me, "You can't avoid this one." And laughed in my ear. When I looked at Catherine she didn't seem to care and was talking to Owen about something. Looks like I'm joining the dinner too. Catherine called Tyler's name and asked, "Mr. Ackerman, come join us for a celebratory dinner." When Tyler refused, everyone joined in to ask him to join them for dinner. I sat quietly and watched what was happening around me. Tyler agreed and everyone jumped for joy. When I looked at him, he looked away and walked into his cabin. After an hour everyone came to a nearby restaurant for dinner. Celine asked Catherine with a hesitation, "Are drinks allowed in this celebration?" "What can we call a party without drinking?" Owen asked her with a laugh and started pouring drinks for everyo
Lucy's pov;I came to the location where they're looking for an advertisement, to find Tyler among the crew. I finally found him talking to his secretary, Catherine. I went to him and showed bunch of white roses.Everyone stopped working and started looking at us. I ignored them and said to Tyler, "White roses. It reminds of a new beginning in a relationship, purity and a fresh start. It represents my heart that wants a second chance from you." He said, "It looks like someone researched the meanings of roses overnight. But you can take them back. I don't like flowers." And he spoke to Catherine, who was standing by his side. Are you ignoring me? Well, I don't have a choice either. I took Tyler's hand and gave the flowers saying, "This is yours now. It's your wish to do whatever you want with it. But please don't throw it away. It looks beautiful and smells really good." When he looked at me without uttering a word, I started to walk away as I said, "Stay tuned for the next flower, M
