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.

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 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

After a lot of thought, Robin decided that he’s not going to ask Lucy who she was talking and keep it to himself.Lucy came out of her room, and Robin and she had dinner together. But none of them spoke any word to each other and just ate quietly.The morning came.Henry woke up with a call from Noir. He called her back as he couldn’t pick it up in time.“Good morning,” he said with a yawn, stretching out in his bed.“What time does your morning start from, can you tell?”.“Why? Around 8.”“I called you ten minutes ago, but you didn’t pick up.”“Sorry, I fell asleep late last night as I was talking with Miss Lucy on the call.”“Lucy? Wait, her?”.“Yeah.”Noir took a moment to respond to this.A smile formed on her lips.“Then? What were you talking about with her?”.“Well….she’s opening up to me a lot. She had some argument with her husband, and right after that I called to check up on her and then she said everything.”“Oh?”.“Now, that’s some great progress.”“Are things on bad term

Henry returns to his seat and sits down. Then he took out his phone and texted Noir.“The atmosphere is the same as you had predicted it. Go ahead with your plan.”“Alright. I’ll inform you a bit later.”Robin was at home. He was taking out the clothes to dry. When he came inside he sat down on the couch, then stared down at his hands.Heaving a deep sigh he heard his phone ringing.He searched for the source of the noise to see it sitting near the kitchen.He walked over to the side of the table and picked up the phone.He saw Noir’s name on the screen.His eyes widened in response.“Why’s she calling suddenly?”.He answered the call.“Hello!”.“What’s up?”.“Are you free to talk?”.“Um….kind of. I have to take the laundry in if it rains. That’s all.”“Oh, alright then.”He went to the couch and sits down.“We hadn’t seen each other for so long.”“Want to meet up?”.“Meet up?”.“Why suddenly?”.Noir sighs.“I hadn’t seen you which is why I thought of meeting up. Why don’t you want to

“What is this guy up to? Why’s he not here? “ she grunted, sitting with her arms crossed, with her one leg on top of another with a grumpy face.Julia who sat beside her was doing something on her phone.“Calm down sister, he’ll come,” she said in a casual tone.Olivia sneered hearing that.“Calm down? I had been waiting the whole afternoon for him and he’s not here! I didn’t had lunch yet, I’m dying of hunger.”“Then go and eat up, I’ll be waiting. To mention, I ate my lunch while coming here. Unless you want to eat you can stay here.”“But, please stop nagging, it’s not good for my ears.”Olivia clicked her tongue as she rubbed her eyebrows out of irritation.“I’m nagging because I feel irritated sitting you here playing with your phone. Take your job seriously!”.“And what are you doing anyway? Let me see.” She snatched away Julia’s phone and checked it.Only to see pictures of Lucy and Henry taken together.Her eyes shot wide seeing that. She stared at it carefully.Julia face pal

Olivia got out of her seat and gripped onto Julia’s hand tightly. “Let’s go and see why brother Gray told you not to inform me anything about this at all. What is it that he’s plotting, I need to know.” “I need to see him right away?”. “What? But why I have to-“. She dragged Julia towards the door without her own will. “Listen to me!”. “I’ll be going for drinks,” Lucy said to Henry, sitting donw. “Oh, great. Did he gave approval?”. Lucy gave a light smile. “Kind of.” “Anyway, let’s finish food, lunchtime will be over soon.” “Ah sure.” “I’ll see if I can go and meet that person if I have time on my hands. This job was most important anyway.” In Gray’s cabin. Olivia appeared in front of his cabin along with Julia who was literally dragged to come because of her.
