When Christina left, Robin looked down at the brushes down at his feet.“She created enough mess for me before leaving. Whenever she comes back, a bad feeling always remains.”“Hope she’s not looking for trouble again.”He heaved a sigh and goes back to painting the drawing that he drew earlier.When he goes back home he searched for Lucy. But she was nowhere to be seen.“Where is she?” he goes back to his art room and puts down the canvas before heading towards their room to search for Lucy.“Lucy.” He called, opening the door.But the bed was all folded up and she was nowhere to be seen.“Did she woke up already? Or is she in the kitchen?”.After searching throughout the house, he sits down on the couch and dialed her number.He called her and she picked up after two times.“Hello.”“What’s the matter? Why are you calling suddenly?”.“Yes, that’s for a reason.”“Where are you now?”.“Um…..in the office.”“Office? Why?”.“Isn’t this your day off?”.“Yeah, but….”.“Grandpa sent a mail
Lucy sighs in response.“Fine then, come along.”“You are the only one I managed to fetch among the crowd of people. I can’t just let you go right away, can I?”.“What?”.“Come!”.She and Henry took a taxi and checked out the nearby five-star hotels.They took the first one which is the number one hotel in their city, Angel Wings.Lucy and he took the elevator and went to the counter to search for the manager.Henry waited while she went away.He was doing something on his phone when Lucy came back.“Come with me. He agreed to let us go to their cooking area.” Henry didn’t hear her, so she tapped on his shoulders.“Are you listening?”.He looked in her direction with narrowed eyebrows.“What?”.“Didn’t you hear me?”.“Ah…no.”“God, I can’t believe it.”“Take your work seriously.” She grabbed him by the hand and dragged him to where she was telling him to go.“The manager agreed to let us check out the cooking area. What are you waiting for?”.“We have to check out all the food. I hop
Gray was in the office, talking to someone when Olivia came up to him from behind and tapped on his shoulders.Gray accidentally was about to drop his phone by reflex. He turns around in her direction to see Olivia behind him.His face had gone pale for a second before he composed himself.“Um…what might you be doing here?” he ends the call without letting her realize then tucked it away in his pockets.Olivia stood with a puzzled face. “Were you talking with someone?”.“Um….kind of.”“Why? Do you need anything?”.“Hm……”.“Do you have time a little?”.“Time for what?”.She gave a bright smile back.“I have something on my mind. Would you like to hear about it?”.“Uh…sure.”“Tell me.”Olivia walked past him and took a seat on the chair. Gray turns to her.“What are you planning to do about the function?”.Gray placed his hands in his pockets, lifting his chin.“I gave in charge of the decorations and all. Why?”.“That’s not it.” she sighs.“Then?”.“Are you planning on letting Lucy go
“Go to a five-star restaurant and tell them to give this big order.”“Our place is a small shop. Can’t you understand?”.“And I’m trusting you to provide us with it. Other shops will not accept last-minute orders which Is why we came here to you.”“If you also refuse us, where will we go?”.“And why should I worry about it?” the old woman retorted.“You came here of your own will. We didn’t beg you to come here. Then it’s your concern to think about how you’ll be able to get your order without any problems at all. We are not here to think about it, are we?”.Lucy stopped Henry.“Come here.”“Excuse us for a minute.” She said to the old lady then took Henry a bit away from there.“What’s wrong?”.“Don’t ask me what’s wrong?”.“Why do you want to piss her off?”.“If she gets angry she won’t take the order.”“Yeah, but the way she’s acting with us, is not alright as well you know?”.“How can we let her off when we understand she is wrong?”.“That I can see as well. But getting into a fig
The old woman stared at Lucy for a couple of minutes. Then replied, placing her hands at her sides.“This is for your grandpa. Isn’t it?”.Lucy nodded. “Yes. Because of the task that he has given me.”“I have to fulfill my task in the best way. I don’t want to ruin his reputation or mine.”“Grandma, don’t be so rough on her. If she does need help, then help her out. Can’t help it, we can work it out for tonight, can’t we?”.The old woman thought about it for a second before replying, “if you are insisting so much….then alright.”“But, you have to work hard the same amount I’ll be working.”“Yeah, I understand.”“I’ll work hard.”“Thanks.”“You heard it, girl.” She turns to Lucy with a smile.“Your order is placed. Go back now. We will make the delivery by tomorrow 5 in the evening.” “I hope it’s alright for you.”Lucy smiled back at them.“Of course, thanks for listening to my request. I don’t know how to help you enough. Thanks a lot.” She shook the old lady’s hand, jumping up and d
Robin went to the living room and saw her lying. So he went up to her side and stood right next to hers.“Lucy…..”.“I’m tired to even talk. Give me a glass of water and leave me alone for a bit.” She spoke in a soft voice.Robin paused for a moment before replying, “Sure then.” He went back to the kitchen and brought back a glass of water then handed it out to her.“Here.”She sits up and took the glass of water from his hands.“Thanks.”She took a sip and gulped it down in one go.“How was your day?” he asked, taking the glass away from her.“Quite horrible.”“And why’s that?”.“Well…um….”.She heaved a sigh and took a deep breath, tucking away the hair which fell over her face.“There was a lot of work going throughout the whole day and I….can’t express how much tired I am.”“Oh….what happened at the office? They usually don’t keep you for so long, do they?”.“No, it’s….”.She explained everything to him.“Oh, no wonder you were cooped up throughout the day.”“But, weren’t they awa
His words hurt Lucy like a sharp knife. It’s not like she’s not aware of it. Whenever he attends some family gathering they always find a way to insult him or her. This is quite common in their house.Everything he’s getting insulted for not able to contribute to their family. Even for being an orphan as they don’t know his family background.“He’s always looking forward to meeting everyone, but everyone hates him.” “He’s not supposed to receive this behavior from others.” “I need to cheer him up.” She placed her hand on top of his, giving a reassuring smile when he looked up.“if you want to go, then you should go.”“Grandpa invited all the staff along with their family members. We should go together.”“But-“.“You don’t have to care what others may think about you.” She said with a deep voice.“You should think about yourself more than anyone. And that’s all that matters.”“You got it?”.He paused for a moment observing her face.“Is she encouraging me?”.“She’s…..”.“What’s wrong
“Here’s breakfast,” Robin comments putting down the plate of stir fried veggies which he made a while ago.Lucy was sitting waiting for the toast lost in thoughts.He went inside the kitchen again to bring the toast only to see her siting staring into the space.She didn’t touch her food and was just sitting still. Seeing this he patted her on the back.“Are you alright?”.She snapped back to reality.“What?”.“Does your hand hurt? Should I feed you?”.“Oh, no, I can-“ she looks at her hand, and picked up the spoon, only to drop it again.“Ouch.” The pain was quite severe enough for her not to pick it up the second time.“I told you not to pick it up, I can manage. Put down the spoon, and sit still. I’ll feed you,” he scolded in a gruff voice.“But-“ without letting her say anything else further, he shoved the food into her mouth.“Now, eat it.”“Don’t speak anything, just eat.”She didn’t speak and continued to eat.He takes her to the taxi while carrying her bag for her.When she h
