She opened the door and walked inside. Looking everywhere for the bag, she found it in a far corner. The place was left the same when she had pushed Olivia down onto the table.
Picking up her bag, she heads towards where the others were.
“I’m here,” Lucy stated announcing herself as she walked inside the room.
She placed her bag on the table and sits down taking out her laptop from her bag. At a swift pace, she turns it on and was doing something by herself.
Shouko and others were sitting down, seeing what she was doing by herself.
In a couple of seconds, Lucy’s face turns pale out of fear. She searches everywhere and the more she does the more her face becomes white.
Shouko had been patient with her for a while but she couldn’t take it so she asked, “Are you done giving us

“Everybody wants to hear the truth, right?” Gray asked, walking up to the center of the room.“Yes, we want to hear it,” added Shouko.“Then I hope Lucy won’t interfere till I stop talking. It’s my request.”“What? And why should I do that?” Lucy shouted.“Cause this way, I won’t be able to go ahead in the conversation without you interrupting. Please shut up a little.”“Fine then, Miss Lucy, please don’t interrupt him. We have already wasted so much time all thanks to you.” Shouko’s statement made Lucy step back in response.“Alright then,” she replied.“I won’t interrupt then, take your time.”Gray clears his throat and placed his hands on his both pockets taking a deep breath he began to talk.“Mrs. Shouko, This project is created by all four of our siblings. And +we all have worked

The air around Lucy was making her feel suffocated, all the things that were going on in her mind were the scene that happened in there, a farce which she hadn’t expected.All the crowd inside the cafeteria was making her chest tighten. The air tasted like poison, and she couldn’t breathe any longer. She rested her head on the table closing her eyes. The coldness of the table was helping her smooth. The humidity in the air was making her feel sloppy.In a while, the crowd cleared away and the place was all quiet again. Her phone beeped for a minute. She tried to search for her phone without getting up. It was in her bag, and she opens up her phone. It’s a text message from her husband.“How did the signing go? You got the deal right? How should we celebrate this?”.Her eyes narrowed onto the part ‘Deal’. She placed aside the phone and rested her head on the table again. When she opened up her eyes she could imagin

Gray's face became pale and he was startled seeing the figure. Lucy was standing there with her arms crossed in front of her chest wearing a smirk on her face. She was leaning onto the wall. She got from the wall and walked over to their side.Olivia was alarmed by her presence and glared at her by instinct."Congratulations," Lucy extended out her hand to him. She gave a warm smile"Going to the celebration party after this? Aren't you going to ask me out?".Hughes came forward and asked, " Why? You want to be invited?"."I don't mind coming if you want me to. Want to invite me?". "Invite you?" sneered Julia pointing her finger at her."We have no obligation to invite you." "Don't sound so cold. I'm happy to see all getting the contract. Take me to the after-party. I want to go." Seeing her assertiveness Gray pushed aside Julia and came to talk with Lucy by himself."What's the problem? why are you acting well with us all of a sudden?

The moment Olivia said those words, Lucy sat up from her seat and slapped away the cup of tea sitting in front of her onto the table, making it fall to the ground. It broke away into a split second, as the tea scattered onto the marbled floor. The noise drew the attention of the staff and the people inside the café in the first place.Lucy glared at Olivia and Gray with cold eyes.“Don’t even take his name from your lips. They don’t suit him at all. He’s more sincere and honest than you all. Goodbye, and thanks for the tea.” Lucy stated, her voice was not too loud but it echoed in their minds for a while even after she had left from there. She marched out of the cafeteria without looking behind her.“That nerve. Where’s she getting that from?” Julia added.“Don’t know. Maybe from him,” Gray hinted towards Robin.“Don’t you think he’s getting too much these da

While walking down the streets all by herself, Lucy kept watching the people passing by happily, and she felt, that she was the only unlucky and unfortunate one out of everyone.“He’s with her, trying to live his life happily. I should also, try to do the same without focusing on her or his life.”“We shall go to the town square, that’s the direction of the hotel also. What do you think about it, Robin?” Christina asked.“Sure,” he nods without looking at her face.He was absent-minded as he could only think about Lucy at the moment. About what she might have been thinking at the moment, where she might be, or what she might be doing.Lucy crossed the road, and went to the other side, all of a sudden there was a loud noise of gun firing.It drew her attention and she looks behind to see a man holding onto a gun towards a man with a suitcase.“Give me the bag, I want the money,&rdqu

“Wait up Christina,” Robin called. Christina picked up her pace and started walking faster than ever without looking in any direction.“Chris, wait up.” They were running onto the streets with one chasing after another.But Christina wasn’t going to listen to him no matter what.“Don’t chase after me,” she shouted running towards the main street.All of a sudden a car came in front of her without any warning.“Watch out,” shouted Robin and pulled her away from there to the other side of the pedestal street.They both fell onto the ground with him holding onto her from behind.The car crashed stopped in the middle of the road, without hurting anyone.The crowd gathered to see that.“Can’t you see before jumping into the streets? You were about to die there lady!” shouted the driver inside the car.“She didn’t do this on purpos

Christina glanced over Robin’s face when he said that. She had been observing something for a while, so she decided to ask him about it.“You....are having problems because of me, right?” she asked, staring down at her hand.“I am the reason why you and Lucy are going through troubles in the first place. You like Lucy a lot, don’t you? And I’m the one who’s trying to keep you two apart. Aren’t I?”.“ You don’t like me anymore, right? You feel uncomfortable around me. Don’t you? I am the reason behind your misery.”“You are wrong about it!” Robin stated. His eyes turned to Christina. He brought her closer to his body, by wrapping his arms around her shoulders.“You are already making me feel at ease. I know you ever since you were little. You can never make me feel suffocated. The only one who’s making me feel suffocated is me only. I just don&rsquo

He knocks on the door and steps away from the doorstep. No answer came. He knocks again several times but Lucy didn’t open the door.“Why is she acting this way towards me?”.“Should I call her?” when he was about to take out his phone, he noticed that the door was half-open.He opened it and walked inside.Going inside he noticed the light from the window coming inside the room, making the room dimly lit. All the lights were off making it hard for him to see.“Lucy, are you inside?” he called, his voice almost breaking resonating in the air.“You are home,” a voice replied.He searched for the source of the voice to see that Lucy was sitting beside the sofa with her bag scattered down onto the floor. She was staring onto the tiled floor, her gaze unmovable.“Welcome home,” she said.“Um…I am home. When did you come back?” he stuttered w

Will you still risk it?" his eyes were serious when he looked at Robin. Robin takes a deep breath, "I don't care.
