The man behind the Artistic smile Coming to the main house part 2
Some hours later, everyone arrives at the hall, sitting side by side.Lucy was late as she was washing off her shirt. She was on the way, wiping off the shirt with her handkerchief as it was still wet.“Ah, the stain has still here. What am I going to do?”.“Guess, this is not coming out any moment now.”She reached the hall and everyone gave an intense stare at her.She glanced sideways and pairs of eyes followed her.Her grandpa sat in the middle with his pair of glasses with a grumpy face.There was a seat abandoned in the middle, making it seem like was only for her as everyone was already sitting.She glanced at it and turns to her grandpa.“Ah….good evening Grand-“.“Have a seat first! Then we’ll talk!” he replied before letting her complete her sentence.She nods lightly and approached the seat and sat down slowly.She kept her head lowered and placed her hands on her knees. One maid appeared behind grandpa.On the right side, sat Gray’s mom and dad, then Olivia’s mom and dad,

Lucy gulped and turns to Hughes mom.“Aunty, I know that you don’t like me! But don’t take out your anger at them and take revenge against me by firing them.”“You don’t know how much hard working and understanding they are.”She sneered back in reply.“I am able to see it very much well. Which is why they can’t even apologize, can they?”.“My son is so unfortunate to work in a company with so many rude people. Ugh!”.“That’s….”.Lucy kept her head lowered.“I understand what you are trying to say here. Yes, they are at fault for not apologizing.”“But, it’s only because they think that they are equally at fault here, just like brother. So they didn’t felt like apologizing. I don’t blame them.”“You are still covering up for them? The nerve you have, Lucy!” His dad shouted.“Dad, none of them have any wish to apologize. Fire them. Or else this incident will happen once again.”“We should not let the tragedy repeat itself.”“My son’s nose is broken. It will take weeks for it to heal. I

Lucy walked back home. She reached the door and didn’t feel like ringing the door any longer.Still, gathering up all the strength she had, she rang the bell.“Coming!”.Someone answered and opens the door shortly.Robin opens the door with a smile on his face.“Welcome home, come in.”She didn’t look at his face and entered through the door.She walked towards her room, and on the way, Robin followed her.“Give me your bag. I’ll carry it!” he asked.She handed it over and placed her hand on the doorknob.“Don’t bother me for a while, please. And I’m not hungry. Don’t bother me for eating.”“Good night.” She said and closed the door behind her after entering the room, leaving him standing behind the door.“What?”.“Lucy-“.“Leave me alone please.”He retreated his hand and looked at the door.“What happened to her? Why’s she acting this way?”.“IF she wants to be left alone, I’ll give her some space.”He turned away and went to the kitchen. He took the food and placed the food in the

“Who would pull a prank on us like this?” Lucy murmured to herself. “And how did this person manage to find my email anyway? This is our company’s work email.” Robin had done all his work and then sat down on the couch while reading a new magazine. He has made a fresh cup of coffee for himself and reads through the magazine while sipping on it. As ten minutes pass by, he spots news in the upper column. “A new art contest is being hosted in Florence city. The winners will be shown on the billboard for one month and will get a chance to be interviewed, and the articles will be published in our weekly magazine.” “The prize is $100,000. Whoever becomes number one shall be given the privilege of spending one night and two days in a grand hotel for two also.” “The other runner up…….”. “Who are the judges?”. He goes through the column of judges. All of them are unknown to him. He drops the magazine by accident. He stood up and looked down at it. “Will I be able to win this time?”.

Lucy returned to her department thinking about what Olivia said to her on the lift.The moment she placed her hand on the knob, someone placed their hand on top of hers.“Ah, I’m sorry.”“No, it’s alright-“ she looks up to see Henry.“Oh, Henry.”“Good morning. Did you just come like me?”.Lucy nods. “You are…” she checked her watch.“Late.”“But, I guess I will let you go off if you work diligently.”“Let’s go.”He nods.He opens the door for her and then she goes in.When she walked inside she saw Nick and the others present. They were all working even before she had arrived.Lucy glanced at Nick while walking past his seat. She stopped by and stood in front of his desk.Nick didn’t look at her and continued to work.Lucy clenched onto the strap of her bag tightly. Hesitation kicked in recalling how she had slapped him yesterday.Henry saw this from behind, able to read her like an open book.Clearing off all the hesitation that she felt, she stepped forward and greeted with a smile

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. But, from all these days I had been spending time with you all, I can tell.”He closed his eyes and smiled.“You are a leader who’s always cheering up her juniors to achieve even better results. You are always trying to be the supporting force to help them and grow.”“I hadn’t been working for a long time like them. But, even I was able to see this.”“I know you don’t hate them. 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

Lucy returned home and Henry went on his way.Robin was lost in his world while cleaning the living room. Lucy came and saw him cleaning.She came up from behind him and greeted him. “Hello.”She saw that the door was open, so she didn’t ring the bell before stepping inside.But he didn’t answer back to her greeting.She became puzzled so she came forward and called again, “Hey.”He was cleaning by himself ignoring her words.“Can’t he hear me?”.She placed her hand on his shoulders and called, “Are you alright? Why can’t you hear me?”.He snapped back to reality after hearing her words. He turns behind him to see her standing.His eyes widened.“Hey, when did you come?” he gasped putting down the vacuum machine.“Right now!”.“I called you several times but you weren’t listening at all.”“What were you thinking?”.“Ah…..”.“N-nothing,” he scratched his cheeks a little.“I was thinking nothing. You just returned. I’ll bring you something to drink.”He hurriedly left towards the kitche

It’s about Mr. Robin. If you won’t hear it out you might regret it later.”“Regret?” Lucy became puzzled for a second.“What are you talking about?

His dad and Robin appeared sitting in the back of the car, smoking a cigar.“Hm….you know it yourself how much of an amount you are telling me to invest in her, aren’t you?”.“That’ll cost you a lot.” “Are you willing to pay for it?”.Robin looked at him with a straightforward gaze.“I know, but I’m still going to take the risk anyway.”“Hm…..”."You may never see her again.

As long as she is happy, as long as she wins and earns her reputation, I don't care.""I want her to achieve her goal. I'm ready to pay any price."

He closed the door behind him and locked it. Then carried her up to the bed, and placed her on the bed roughly.Christina looked up at his face unable to understand what was going on.“What is he planning to do?”.He held her hands above her head and peered deep into her eyes.Her throat was starting to go dry out of fear and excitement.“Um…Robin….”.He clicked his tongue and pulled her roughly, helping her get up on her feet from the bed.They stood face to face on the ground.He was starting to take off his clothes.
