During lunchtime, everyone was busy making the project regarding the files that Shouko had given them. Lucy was trying her hard to concentrate also. But every time she tried to focus everything seemed to be distracting her too much.
While working she could see Christina and Robin on the screen of the monitor of her pc. She closed it out of irritation. '' Why can't I get them out of my mind? Why's this happening with me?''.
She stared at the white blank wall in front of her, but she still couldn't figure out anything at all. Olivia and others sat a little bit across from her. Mary and Kate had been observing them.
As it was lunchtime they left for lunch. Lucy was not getting up from her seat. She tried her best to concentrate on her work, ignoring everything. She is was able to find a way out and started working on it.
After a while, she was halfway done. Julia was keeping her watch on Lucy. Olivia got up and passed by her and glanc
Later that day, during the evening.Lucy came from the office and was about to open the door to her room. But just when she touched the knob she was feeling hesitant.Something has been tugging at her heart ever since the morning. The argument she had with him. Can she forget about it so easily?.The words she had said and the scene that she had seen, could she forget about everything that she saw?.This thought made her squint her eyes and stare at the door deeply. She was brought back to reality with a voice behind her.A woman passed by her while talking over the phone. '' I shouldn't stand around here for so long. Get moving will you? You are not a coward. Be brave.''She took a deep breath and opens the door. She closed her eyes not wanting to see him.She tried to touch the things around her
"Oh my, the look isn't this Robin hood. What are you doing here?" Julia said in a mocking tone while walking towards them.Hearing her voice Robin glanced over his shoulder to meet her eyes.Christina was stuck at the place when Julia came.Julia sneered at Robin. "What are you here for? Running errands for Lucy?"."Anything wrong with it?" Robin asked without hesitation."You sure know how to talk, don't you? Keep your mouth shut. Anyhow," she moved onto Christina."Is this you the most famous artist from abroad? Miss Christina. What are you doing in London? And talking with a poor man like this?" She was insulting Robin."Nice to meet you," Julia forwards her hand for her to shake.Christina took it. " This is our second meeting how are ya feeling here?" Julia asked trying to keep the c
When they were back to their room, Lucy closed the door behind her and went to take a seat on the bed.'' I-'' Robin tried to say something. But he was again interrupted. '' Leave me alone for the moment and don't talk to me.'''' I need to go out with the company we are partnering with within the morning. I don't have anyone to tell that I have a depressed look. Have dinner and go to sleep, I need sleep also.'''' Alright, What about you? Don't you want to eat?''.'' Bring some soup later. It will be better.''Lucy lied down and turned off the lights closing her eyes she tried to sleep. Robin just stood there not being able to say anything.He left the room and walked up to the rooftop. No one was there so he took a seat by the corner.The breeze was cold. It felt good to him. The silence and the
Robin was able to recall all the moments that he had spent with Lucy and Christina. They were not all bad memories. Some were good as well. The strange thing is he had never tried to recall them or think how endearing they are.Even though they had spent so much time together, he's still not able to understand what their true nature is like.At last, he was finally able to have his answer. '' I have realised what you are talking about,'' Robin replied to Noir.'' And what's that?''.'' I love both of them the way they are like. Lucy sometimes acts cruel towards me but that's a part of her charm. Christina has stayed with me longer than Lucy did, but she's the best friend I could ever have. I can't imagine her as a lover yet. But whoever could get her has to be one lucky guy on earth.''He was scratching the back of his head feeling embarrassed. '' But she still has room for improvement just like Lucy. Lucy's stil
Pl, It was at the office. Lucy met up with others at the office. Ms.Shouko arrived later. They were waiting at the office entrance. '' I am sorry everyone, I am late,'' said Ms.Shouko getting up from the car.'' Why are you late today?'' asked Olivia to Shouko. '' It's my doggy, she was not letting me leave the house. And I had the call from my brother-in-law and then we talked for a while that's why we were late. Sorry,'' she apologized.'' What will we be doing today?'' Julia asked stepping forward.Shouko took out her phone from her purse. '' I guess,...we can take a tour around the most prosperous cities in London. Then talk about business as well. After that, we will go and have a fancy meal. After that the party. I can't wait to see you also. I have called all the other co-partner companies as well. We will have a nice talk.'''' Shall we take the car or public transportation?'' Shouko asked staring at their faces. Ever
The next moment they stepped into the shop they were surprised by the interior inside it. It looked like a Chinese shop, quite an old one with old walls along with the pictures and everything.But it gave a royal feeling to the Campbell siblings. They were greeted by an old woman at the gateway.'' Welcome to the shop,'' she said with a smile. '' Aunty, I am here again. And look whom I have brought with me,'' Shouko said in a cheerful tone.The old woman was surprised by the number of guests they were having back then.'' Nice to meet you,'' Lucy said with a bow. '' Same here, now, please come inside.''Shouko took off her shoes and went inside. The others did the same and walked inside the shop.The old woman took them to sit on the tatami mat. '' Please sit here,'' she said. '' This is an old place but make yourselves at home.'
After that, the evening passed by.Lucy was back from the office. She was on the elevator when Noir came in. Both of them were not aware of their presence.Only when Noir dropped her phone she saw Lucy there standing by the side of the elevator.'' She's that woman from before. His wife. What's she doing here? Back from the office, I guess. I am glad Christina didn't come here to meet him and I came instead of her.''When she kept her glances at Lucy, she was feeling even smaller from the inside out. Even at this age, she's independent unlike her. She still relies on her parents.'' Is this the reason why he likes her? Must be so. He always admired women who can do everything on her own.'''' I can't even become as much mature as her. What the heck am I doing with my life? What have I done all these years with it? Nothing,
'' A househusband? And what's up with that profession? I mean what do you do exactly?'' asked someone among the crowd.'' Well, normal things. Washing and cleaning, cooking and folding clothes and then take care of my wife also,'' Robin replied with a smile.Shouko herself was surprised by the way he said all of those things proudly. She was trying her best to stop her laughter.Robin himself knew that no one was going to accept those things and would make fun of him. And that's what it turned out in the end.'' This seems like a good profession,'' said one among the crowd. '' Perfect for men called women.''They burst out in laughter saying that. '' Nanny husband.''Everyone was laughing at him. Lucy felt humiliated back then, the way she was lowering her head out of shame, not able to lift her face because of him. Robin was able to understand that very well.Olivia came in to pour oil in the
