Nothing came to her mind, and she started walking, aimlessly without any sense of direction.She walked and walked and reached the food corner, in the backyard where everything was taking place.She glanced at the lights, mic, and stage, and everything made her feel even more depressed than before.She heaved a deep sigh, and turned her back on them before walking towards the other direction.She was wandering off aimlessly.She goes over to her department and closed the door behind her.Then goes over to her seat and sits down. She relaxed her head onto her seat and stared off into the space blankly.She searched for the solution to her problems but the answers were nowhere to be found.Nothing came to her mind. She searched for alternatives and all, but nothing came to her mind to fill up the rest of the desserts in such a short time.No restaurant will take her order, no matter how much she’ll pay. In the first place, where will she be getting the money from? The money grandpa ha
“I will try my best to make it alright.” “Don’t worry, I’ll try whatever I can to help you out.”“But, how-“.“Just have faith in me.”“You’ll present the desserts to the guests on time. And that’s a promise.”“You just don’t panic and try to handle the situation in the meantime.”“Alright?”.She nodded.“But still, what will you do? There’s no you can persuade brother Gray.”“We don’t have any proof against him.”Robin sighs.“We may not have any proof against him. But that doesn’t mean he hasn’t done anything at all.”“He has something which he is also aware of himself. So, you don’t need to feel bad for him at all.”“He has to pay for his sins, this time.”“All four had tried their best to belittle you in front of others all the time. This is the time they pay for all of this.”“You’ll not be ashamed in front of others, I can assure you that.”He said with assurance.She couldn’t help but smile for anything.“Can I believe in your words?” she asked, gulping down.Robin smiled.“Yo
Lucy nodded hesitantly, “Yes, all because you didn’t butt in.”Julia glared at her.“What do you mean by my butting in?”.“Nothing.”“She has some sharp tongue, doesn’t she?” Olivia comments, coming from behind.Olivia smiled back at Julia, then at Lucy.“But, the food is quite good. I tasted it myself.”“Is that so?” Julia remarks.“Yes.”“Why are you all chatting around here?” Hughes comments from behind.Hughes was all dressed up in clothes. Everyone looked at him with surprise.“Where’s brother Gray?”.Olivia pointed in the other direction.“He’s there greeting guests. What do you need him for?”.“Oh, I need to get the stage and lights. Forget about it, I’ll tell this to him only.”“And you all, Grandpa-“.Picado gets up on the stage and cleared their throat standing in front of the mic.Everyone looked in his direction.“There he is, go and gather around the front seats. Grandpa might call for us any moment.” Hughes said to them.Lucy nodded.“Let’s go then,” Julia and Olivia le
Picado started speaking. “Today’s the annual function of our Campbell corporations limited.”“I thank all the guests for coming here to this very beautiful evening.” “This company has come much far with the help of all the people working alongside, its employees, and the most important person, the CEO who made all of this possible for us, Mr. Huston Campbell, the owner who founded this at the age of 25.”“Even though his health is not doing very well, he still managed to come today.”“Let’s welcome, Mr. Huston on stage.”Everyone was clapping in response.Grandpa arrives at the stage along with the help of Isabella and Gray’s dad who has arrived at the spot. Picado assists him along.He was in his wheelchair, facing all those people. Picado held the mic close to his mouth.“Is there anything that you want to say to all the people who arrived?”.“Yes.”Lucy and others were sitting in the front row watching him from a close distance.“I’m very much happy to meet to see the happy face
A big car arrived at the front gate. A man stepped out and opened the door. Robin comes out of the car dressed in a black blazer and white shirt with a red bow tie looking quite handsome. Chris also came out from the other side and joined Robin. Four more people came out along with Chris.They all stared at each other. Everyone had been dressing up the way Robin was dressed. Chris stared at the office building and glanced back at Robin.“Young master, you didn’t explain the whole plan to me yet.”Robin turns to him, placing a hand on his shoulder.“Just believe in me.”“Do as I say and no need to worry.”He looked at the four people who came with them.“You four!”.Everyone looked at Robin with surprise.“What is it?”.“Stick together for now. Though we will need to get separated along the way. For the time being, follow me.”They nodded. All four of them are the butlers of Bradley mansion who work with Chris.Chris sighs turning to Robin.“Come.” Robin leads the way through the gat
Robin heads towards the places he was supposed to search. He passes through the eyes of other staff and searched them out. The other people who came with him were doing the same thing. He was done checking out the previous two places, but couldn’t find anything.He starts to feel frustrated, but regaining his composure he starts searching for some more places. But the next one was not the one he was searching for also. He takes a cup of coffee and heaved a sigh, then came over to the side of the window and peeked out.“This is no time for taking breaks. Why am I wasting time here anyway?”.He takes a sip of the coffee and looks at the other wing. He noticed something.There was a woman standing at the window, as if looking out for someone who might be approaching her. Her behaviors were quite suspicious.He became confused so he observed her for a while. Suddenly, their eyes met and she hides herself from him right away closing the window. She covers the window by pulling the curtai
Robin’s eyes widened in shock.“What? She left right in front of me and I couldn’t catch her?”.“Which floor is she going to anyway?”.“I should take the stairs.”He starts running following the direction where the elevator was going.“She might be the key to finding the room where the desserts might be kept by Gray, I can’t let her get out of my sight.”“Lucy, I will help you.”“Now, let’s call the last member of the Campbell family, the youngest daughter, Lucy!”.“She has been promoted recently to a good position because of the results of her hardwork and dedication towards her company.”“Let’s give her a warm greeting everyone!” Picado yelled.Lucy gets up on her feet, but her feets were stuck to the ground, making her unable to walk.“I…...”.“Why can’t my legs move?”.“Come here, Lucy!” Picado called from above the stage.Lucy looked up at him and smiled, tucking away the hair that fell over her face.“I can’t let my nervousness get the better off me. I have to go to the stage an
Robin held his breath, as he informed his people about it. He observed the woman in front of him very much clearly.“If she gets out of my eyes, then I might lose the chance of helping Lucy forever.”“I have to prove myself useful.”The woman goes inside, but kept the door behind her locked.She was inside for a couple of minutes. Robin became puzzled, and takes a step forward after looking here and there.“Strange, even though this is their hideout, why’s there no one guarding the place except this woman? Did he had no more people to work for him or what?”.He observed from a distance, but the curiosity of coming closer to the door was too much to resist.He looked sideways again, and goes to stand next to the door. He peeked inside through the keyhole to see the woman standing next to a big amount of boxes.She was opening one, where desserts were lying inside.“That’s…..”.“The desserts Lucy was telling about.”“Then, this is the room!”.“I need to tell others!”.He sends his locat
