“How could you talk that way with Noir? She’s one of our best friends, have you forgotten that also?”.
He got up from his seat in response, clenching onto his fists tightly.
“No,” Christina moved closer to Robin.
“I haven’t forgotten that. But you have to accept the fact that she’s interfering in our matters too much. She is supposed to support me. But instead of that, she’s going against me, becoming trouble in my track. For what reason? I want to know.”
Christina glared at Noir, with her raised eyebrows.
"You are acting this way towards your friend? How could you talk this way with your friend? Do I deserve this?" Noir's words were echoing in Robin's ears.

Meanwhile, back in the hotel,Christina was laying in the arms of Robin, as they were lying in bed.Noir hadn’t come back in their room yet.Robin could only feel ashamed of the words which Noir said to him before she left.“You know,” Christina raised her head hovering over Robin.“I managed to win the first prize in the art contest. That’s why I am so happy. And you know the additional prize with it?” she asked.“Additional prize?” he replied without looking away.“Yes, your dad called me.

“He’s not a barking dog,” shouted Lucy, her voice echoing in the room.“He’s one of the best husbands in the world.

I’m going to sue you for acting this way towards me, you know?” Olivia retorted with a sneer.Gray came up to her sister very quickly and tried to help her get up.“Sister, are you alright? What have you done Lucy? You raised your hand against her just because she said some words?” Gray added, with an astonished face.“How can you act this way towards your big sister?

In her opposite direction, Gray and his siblings were sitting. All of them had a smirk over their faces. “Please sit down for the signing process. We don’t have much time left.” “Have you already picked whom you’ll do the deal with?” Lucy asked. Mrs. Shouko takes off her glasses and placed them aside. Giving a nod of approval. “So please have a seat.” Lucy sighs and felt somewhat at ease to hear that. She walked inside the room and sat in front of Olivia and others.

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.

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.

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
