The man behind the Artistic smile Soothing her
The afternoon meeting started. Chelsa and the others were also present. Henry sat right beside Lucy, handing her the files she might need. “So, last time’s performance….”. “Give me the blue file,” she said to Henry. He nods and searched it out, then handed it over right away. “Thanks.” When she tried to get out of her seat, her shoulders brushed against Henry’s but she didn’t realize. As the meeting came to an end, Lucy came over to Henry’s side and helped him to stood up. She faced the clients and smiled. “Without the help of our new employee we couldn’t present today’s presentation. Everything happened because of this fellow.” She patted him on the back while praising him. Henry stared at her with surprised eyes. Nick saw this, and could only feel irritated every passing minute. “We are not inferior to that guy.” Chelsa murmured loud enough for Zoe to hear. “But she never praises us in front of others. This is ridiculous.” “Maybe we are not so special to mention about,

“What are you saying? I am not at fault?”. She’s lost: unable to see anything clearly that he could see very well. She’s unable to separate right from wrong.“And this is what’s going to help me achieve my goal much easier.”“I may not have been working here for too long.

Even if they act badly with you, you can’t hate them from the inside out. Cause, they are not bad at all, you are convinced by this.”“And that is why!”.He stares at her with confident eyes.“Give them time.”“Time heals every single wound. As time will pass by, they’ll start to forget about the incident. When they’ll be able to forget it, y

Why’s he not here? “ she grunted, sitting with her arms crossed, with her one leg on top of another with a grumpy face.Julia who sat beside her was doing something on her phone.“Calm down sister, he’ll come,” she said in a casual tone.Olivia sneered hearing that.“Calm down? I had been waiting the whole afternoon for him and he’s not here! I didn’t had lunch yet, I’m dying of hunger.”“Then go and eat up, I’ll be waiting. To mention, I ate my lunch while coming here. Unless you want to eat you can stay here.”“But, please stop nagging, it’s not good for my ears.”Olivia clicked her tongue as she rubbed her eyebrows out of irritation.“I’m nagging because I feel irritated sitting you here playing with your phone.

What is it that he’s plotting, I need to know.” “I need to see him right away?”. “What? But why I have to-“. She dragged Julia towards the door without her own will. “Listen to me!”. “I’ll be going for drinks,” Lucy said to Henry, sitting donw. “Oh, great. Did he gave approval?”. Lucy gave a light smile. “Kind of.” “Anyway, let’s finish food, lunchtime will be over soon.” “Ah sure.” “I’ll see if I can go and meet that person if I have time on my hands.

Robin gave a puzzled look at her.“What?”.“Nothing,” she adverted her face away, trying to hide the grin on her face.“My heart almost skipped a beat when he touched me like that. Why am I falling for him when my intention is to make him beg for me?”.“I didn’t came here to fall for him!”.“I need to watch out, or else-“.Robin pulled onto her cheeks with his both hands.“Why are you not looking at me? What are you thinking?” he asked, turning her face to his direction.“W-what…..are you-“.“This is so funny!” he chuckled.“Your cheeks are so soft. I might get addicted to this.”“He’s totally teasing me!”.She tried to remove his hands away.“Stop…..”.He removed his hands with a chuckle.“ You are so fun to tease.”“Yeah, right.”“Finish your food, it’s getting cold.”“Ah, yes.”He stared down at his place and smiled a little.“You haven’t changed ever since we left school.
