The man behind the Artistic smile Li's confession
“Finally it’s lunchtime!” Lucy grunted, stretching out her arms. Her table was filled up with files which were left to be checked. She rubbed her eyes and yawned, pushing out her chair she was about to get up. Only to be greeted by Henry who came up to her desk. “Are you done with work for now?”. She looks at his direction, giving a smile. “Yes. I finished for now. But, There’s still lots of work left for now. How about you?”. “Um….the files for the next meeting is still not done. I’ll ask Senior Nick to go ahead with the preparations. Maybe he can help us out, can’t he?”. “Maybe!”. “And if you are going to talk about that with him, tell him that I asked for the previous file. There was some mistakes in it.” “You checked beforehand?”. “Yes, but forgot to tell him. My head is not working lately.” “Ah, I can understand!” he replied. “Why am I talking about work only? Didn’t I came here to do something else?” he cried out from inside out. “I need to ask her out to have lunch

When Noir got back to the room, everyone’s attention turns to her only.“Noir, wait a little. I’ll make lunch for all of us,” Nancy said with a smile.“Ah, sure.”“I’ll help out!” Ri said in an enthusiastic tone.“Oh, thanks Ri!”.“Let’s go to the kitchen then.”She nodded.“You two wait and talk. We’ll be done soon,” Nancy said to Robin.They both walked past Noir and went to the kitchen. Noir stood there thinking of something.Then she also rushed towards the kitchen following after them.“I’ll help out as well. This way we’ll finish faster. And I’m quite hungry.”“Thanks for helping us Noir.”Robin watched her with an confused face.“Since when did she become so much enthusiastic about cooking?”.“I never knew she loved cooking. Weird.”“I have to help them out and finish eating before they end up eating. Or else, My plan would be ruined.”Noir was helping them out whatever the way they could.Lucy and Henry reach the café which he wanted to take her to after a while. Lucy was quit

At last after a lot of struggle, Noir managed to bring Robin out of Nancy’s house, finishing their lunch.Ri and Nancy both came to see them off at the doorway.“It was fun to spend some time with you after so long,” Robin said with a smile, turning to Nancy.She also smiled back.“It’s nice to see my old students again. Thank you for visiting. Come again when you’ll have time.”“Sure, I-“.Ri was tugging at his shirt.“Come again, someday.”Robin stared at her face and patted his head.“Sure. You can come and visit my house also. We’ll have fun.”“Sure!” she said with an excited face.Noir tapped on her arms anxiously. Sweats formed all over her forehead which she kept wiping off with her handkerchief.“Noir, come again for visiting,” Nancy said.Noir looked at her and smiled. “Sure.”“How are you two going to leave by the way?” asked Nancy looking out towards the gate.“We are….”.“Going by taxi,” Noir responded in quite an enthusiastic tone.“But the taxi we came by is not here.

The man behind the Artistic smile Caught red-handed
Lucy carried her purse and walked out through the exit. She thought about waiting by the side of the door, but people kept coming in and out. So she felt disturbed and stood at the front of the store waiting for Henry to come and join her while searching for a taxi.Two taxies drove past her and she was unable to catch up with them in time.She kept looking at the taxi stand to see if she could find a taxi or not.“I hope we can reach the office on time.” “We have the next meeting to attend to, and lots of work also.” She checked her watch. It’s 1:50.“I have ten minutes before lunch break is over. Can we reach so fast?”.She heaved a deep sigh and fixed her dress, looking at the taxi stand impatiently.Her eyes followed the people who were waiting in line impatiently.Suddenly, she noticed a pair who came from the opposite direction towards the taxi stand.Her eyes got stuck to the face of the man who was carrying a woman on his back.She rubbed her eyes and looked closely to see a

Lucy’s stone-cold eyes met with Robin’s surprised face.Both went silent unable to speak a word.Noir also looked at her with a surprised face.When tried to speak up, the driver asked, “Why aren’t you getting in? I’ll start driving, the other two passengers are late.”“We’ll get in right away,” Henry replied.“Please move a little,” he said to Robin.Lucy grabbed him by the hand, stopping him.Henry looked at her with confusion.“We aren’t getting in this taxi.”“Please leave,” she said to the driver.“Weird people. Then why did you waste my time anyway?”.“Anyway!”.The driver started the engine and drove away.Before Robin was able to say anything, the car drove past Lucy who kept staring at them.“S-stop the car, please!” begged Robin, banging at the window.“Don’t!” Noir held onto his hand, stopping him from stopping the car.He gave a puzzled expression back.“What are you doing?”.“We should wait for them, Lucy is-“.“Out with her colleague. I could see that very much well.” No
The man behind the Artistic smile Broken apart
Henry and Lucy stood beside each other watching the car drive away.Her eyes followed the car. Henry tapped on her shoulder, drawing her attention to him.“What?”.“Don’t mind me but, wasn’t that your husband?”.“Who’s that girl? His sister or something?”.Something struck her heart when he asked her that question.She stared down at her feet, then replied, “She’s not her sister. She’s his childhood friend.”“Childhood friend? Oh, that’s why she was sitting so close to him.”“But, didn’t he inform you that he’s going out or something?”.“You were surprised to see him for a second, weren’t you?”.“That’s…..”.She was unable to reply to his question, cause that was not possible for her to answer it.“I’m sorry to interrupt your private matters,” Henry apologized.“You don’t need to answer it.”“Anyway, let’s go and catch a taxi. We are late. Lunch break will be over soon.”She nodded. “You don’t need to apologize for anything.”“But, I also went out without informing her about it. I’m a

Lucy and Henry reached the office. While the meeting started, Lucy had been all silent. Henry was explaining the reports to Zoe, Nick, and Chelsa.“So….that’s all for today. I hope you don’t have any more questions to ask.” Henry added, putting down his file beside Lucy.“I have a question,” Chelsa added, raising her hand.“What is it?” Henry asked, taking a seat.“I don’t understand that we have to submit the reports by today. I mean, it’s going to take at least two days to finish this. Whose idea was it to finish this today?”.“Miss Lucy’s,” Henry replied.Everyone turns to Lucy who was lost in her world.Henry tapped on her shoulders to draw her attention to him.She looked sideways in confusion.“What?”.“Didn’t you hear what we were talking about just now?” Chelsa asked.“Uh….no.”“Did you say something?”.“Yes, why did you tell us to submit the report by today?”.“Oh, did I?”.“Yes, you did.”“Oh, that must have been a misunderstanding on my part. Sorry about this.”“You can sub

“Why are you showing this to me?” he yelled.Noir tensed up.“W-why, did anything happen?”.“Why are you reacting this way?”.Robin took some deep breaths, and sighed.“Forgive me,” he covered his mouth with his hands.“I just recalled the fight with Lucy regarding this competition.”“And then, lost my temper.”“Sorry.”Noir looked down at the flyer, then looked at Robin.She placed her hand on her shoulders, and said, “It’s alright. You can tell me what’s wrong with you. I don’t mind.”“Tell me, I’m here to listen to you.”“Why are you angry about this art competition? Why is it irritating you?”.“Tell me.”He explained everything about their fight to her and she listened to everything quietly without answering back.After telling everything, he looked at the flyer and sighs.“It’s how everything started in the first place.”“But, why did you refuse to join the competition?”.“Because dad is the one sponsoring for the competition.”Noir’s eyes widened in response.She took the flyer
