Meanwhile, back at the office. After listening to everything, Nick and Chelsa both are shocked and at a loss of words.

They sat down listening to Zoe when he slapped her hand away. Zoe seemed to be depressed from what Chelsa could see. He held his head low, as Nick patted him on the back.

“Please get over this, it’s not such a big deal.” Chelsa said in a soothing tone.

“It didn’t happen to you. What would you even understand?” Zoe retorted back with a glare.

She clicked her tongue and stood up right away.

“Then remain depressed. Nobody even wants to help you out. Loser!”.

“let’s go Nick! There’s no point trying to sooth a barking dog. Let him stay by himself. We have work to do, or else Boss will get angry at us as well for him. They say that you should never help someone out of courtesy. I can see it very much well.” She said in a sarcastic tone.

“But Chelsa, you are being too harsh towards him. You can see his condition. We can’t leave him alone like this. This is not right.” Nick a

  • The man behind the Artistic smile    Rundown house and the bulldozer

    Robin’s dad arrived in front of the gate with a bunch of men behind them. He kicks the gate violently and walked inside without any kind of invitation at all.This may seem too rude to anyone as he kicked the gate instead of just opening it with his hands. Robin stood up on his feet seeing his dad approaching.His eyes widened and his body tensed up, cause he didn’t expect him to arrive today.Bruce also tensed up to see Robin’s dad.His dad walked over to the side of Robin and they both were facing each other at eye level.“How are you, son?” he asked with a forced smile.“And you, Mr. Hamilton, how are you doing as well?” he turned to Bruce.Bruce clenched his fists tightly, gritting his teeth.“How can I not be well when you are looking out for us so much? I’m better than ever because of you.”“Yes, yes, I can see that in your eyes very much well. But, I don’t know for how long you’ll stay well.”Robin furrowed his eyes in confusion.“Dad-“.Richard raised his hand, stopping him fr

    Robin opens his eyes, to hear the familiar voice which he recognized right away. The woman glanced back and their eyes met. It is Noir who arrived at the spot and stood in front of Robin before the bulldozer hit him.His eyes widened seeing her face.“W-what are you doing here?” he yelled.“To protect you of course, now shut me and let me do the talking.”She stepped forward and looked in the direction of Robin’s dad.“Uncle….” She ran up to his side.“Why were you trying to run the bulldozer over his body? Have you gone nuts or something?” she asked him.“No, and who told you to come here? Let him do his work. Why did you stop it?” he grunts, glaring at her.“You must have lost your mind when he didn’t want to listen to you. I understand your frustration, but just because of that you can’t murder your son for the sake of some strangers can you?”.“Yes! I can!”.“You have disbelief in my abilities? I can show you what I can do and can’t.”“Uncle, be reasonable. He’s your son. At this

    Robin sneered, “Is this your new game or something? Why are you apologizing suddenly?”.His dad furrowed his eyes in dismay.“I feel wrong about my behavior that’s why I’m apologizing. What kind of a behavior is this towards your dad? Is this how I have raised you Robin?”.“And did you forgot yourself what kind of behavior you have behaved with all of us here? You told the bulldozer to run over us cause we were not giving up this house. And now you are playing the victim here, don’t you have any shame?”.Seeing the situation growing even more complicated than it’s already is, Noir stepped forward and interrupted them without thinking.“Robin!”.She stood beside his dad faced him.“He has realized that his actions are wrong, and because of that he’s apologizing. Why don’t you understand his feelings at all?”.“Calm down and listen to what he’s telling you. He has no bad intention at all.”Robin raised his eyes in suspicion.“And why are you trying to cover for him? Were you the one who

    Robin stepped forward and turns to Noir.“Even if I believe that you are telling me the truth. I still don’t believe dad is apologizing for his deeds. Can you prove this is not an acting?”.“How can this be acting?” his dad interrupted yelling.“I am apologizing for real. Believe me!”.“When you have done so many bad things to me, you are telling me to believe in you?” Robin retorted.“You wanted to destroy this house. Why will you suddenly become kind, right?”.“This has to be some sort of acting or sorcery. Make me believe you.”Richard sighs, fisting his hands tightly.“He’s testing my patience. I need to calm down.”After taking some quick breaths, he asked, "Then what do I have to do to make you believe in me? I'll do anything." "Just say it!".Robin glanced at Bruce. Bruce patted Robin's back."Your dad is apologizing so much. Don't you think you can believe in him and forgive him? I mean.....if anyone realizes what their mistake is, that's the most important thing, right? Forg

    A man bumped into him while passing by, and he snaps back to reality. He looks around and then noticed his phone lying underneath. He got down onto his knees and picked it up right away. “I need to go back home, I can fix it later.”He ran in the direction of his house and eventually reached home.One hour ago,Lucy was standing near the gate of their office waiting for the car that gets her every day. Meanwhile, Henry also came from behind and stood there. He kept watching out to grab a taxi or something.One came and then he talked with the driver and came back. Then the second one came, and he came back as well. Then the third and fourth one.When he was standing, disappointed she walked up to her and placed her hand on his shoulder.He turns behind him to see her standing.“Hey, Boss?”.“What are you doing here Henry?”.“Oh, I…waiting for a taxi to drive me up to…..but none of them are going in that direction so there’s nothing I can do here.

    Lucy’s eyes froze to the figure which stood in front of her. How is this man even able to accuse her even without any proof at all? Isn’t he the one who promised to stay by her side no matter what?Then how is he able to accuse her blindly?“Lucy!” Robin called out.“Answer! I’m waiting to hear everything from your very own mouth.”“Please…talk!”.Lucy lifts her hands and pushed away his hand from her shoulder, watching him with stupefied eyes.“How could you even think that I was cheating behind your back?”.“You don’t believe in me?”.Robin’s throat went dry hearing that. He fisted his hands out of frustration.“I…it’s nothing like that-“.“Then what is it like? The way you were accusing me, it only proves that you had no faith in me which is why you asked that question, right?”.“How could you even think that I was cheating on you with another man?”.“But-“.“I thought-“.“He’s the new employee who joined our department today. As he couldn’t find a taxi I gave him a ride back home.

    “You don’t have to cook for the day, leave it!” she sighs leaving his hands.“What? But why?”.“Your hand is hurt severely. I can’t let you cook like this. Leave it, I’ll do it for you.”“But-“.“No buts. You go and just give me what you’ll be cooking today. I’ll handle it.”“But-“.“Hurry up!” she walks straights into the kitchen without listening to him.He helped her and they cooked together.Meanwhile, back inside the room, Lucy lay down on the bed with her face resting on the pillow.All that she could remember were the words Robin, and about the conversation which they had earlier.“Why am I thinking about his words all over again? I told him I don’t want to see his face nor talk about this. But I’m thinking about him only. Why?”.“Just forget about him!”.He kept moving back and forth in the bed and lay down on her back. She looked at the ceiling for a while, then her eyes slowly travel to everywhere in the room.Her eyes stopped at the photo frame on the table. They are the pi

    She finished her food and left. Robin took the plate of food arranged for Lucy and walked up to her room.He stood in front of their room, lowering his eyes at the food, wondering whether to knock in or not.After heaving a deep sigh, he knocks on the door.“Lucy, are you awake?” he called.No answer came.“Lucy!”.“Is she sleeping? Must be.”“Lucy!” he again called several times. As she wasn’t waking he had to go back to the kitchen.He washed the dishes, hoping for her to wake up, but she didn’t wake up at all.“Where am I going to sleep like this? She has locked the door.”He went back to his art room and closed the door behind him.He looked around searching for a place to sleep, but there was hardly anything comfortable to sleep on.He went back to the living room and lay down on the sofa, though it wasn’t comfy, but a better place to sleep on than the wooden floors in the art room.He turned off the lights and lay down while staring at the night sky from the window.
