This made her feel disgusted all of a sudden. '' I should just stop thinking about it.''
Meanwhile, When Robin was done with a shower and all his phone was beeping. The call was from Christina. He doesn't want to talk to him, so he ignored it. But then she called again.
He sat on the corner of the bed and kept thinking about the quarrel he had with Lucy. Christina called again. He had no choice but to pick it up. '' What is it?'' he asked.

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.

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.

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.
