Even as a woman in her thirties she knows how people are just by their looks alone. Throughout the meeting, Gray was not able to say anything at all as she was talking with Lucy only.
'' So we will go with this..''. Gray couldn't stop himself from interrupting. '' Why are you picking the time and the place as you like it? I mean don't we have any right to say anything?'' he yelled slamming onto the table in front of others losing his anger.
Even Olivia didn't found it strange. She was just staring at her phone all this while. Julia was taking care of her nails. Hughes was just sleeping in his chair.
Ms.Shouko smiled at him and said,'' I am the one who decides everything here or you are the one who has the power to do t

Before the owner was able to complete his sentence he was interrupted by Noir who comes out in front of them. '' Excuse me, I had been listening to your talks all this while. But I think the way you are insulting this young man is just too much to take. I think you better refrain from your actions of insulting anyone as you feel like it.''She stands in front of Olivia with a smile on her face. Olivia was surprised by how she appeared there. '' Who are you? And why are you talking in his favor?'' asked Julia stepping in front of Julia.'' Me? I am just a customer here. But the way you insulted him irritated me so I couldn't stop myself. I had been in this shop for a while and this young man came here just because I told him to accompany me as I had no partner. And he didn't need to pay the bill for me. I can pay it myself.''The owner was about to say something then, Christina said,'' Please help us to keep our identity a secret.''

He was drinking the coffee all by himself.A woman somehow bumped into him. '' Oh I am sorry,'' she apologized. '' No no it's alright,'' Robin lifts his face to meet her eyes. She seems to be around the same age as him. With long straight hair and black eyes, she was reminding him of a raven. All proud and mighty.'' Can I sit here?'' she asked in a seductive tone. '' Yeah sure, who am I to tell you?''. She sits elegantly revealing her toned legs through the short skirt she was wearing. The top was revealing her bosom as well.Robin was trying his best not to look at her. '' Waiter, give a glass of scotch. I am in the mood to drink today,'' she called while keeping her gaze on Robin.He was wondering why she was drinking so early. The waiter gave her the glass. She drank

Hearing the noise of the opening door both Sophia and Robin looked at Lucy out of surprise. Lucy was frozen to the spot to see her husband along with another woman, on top of each other.'' Lucy,'' Robin managed to speak out her name only. Sophia seeing this touched Robin's face. Robin slapped the hand away. '' Lucy,'' he tried to go to her but she was not letting that happen.Lucy before being able to say anything leaves the place closing the door behind her. '' Wait, Lucy,'' Robin yelled trying to go after her. Sophia was not leaving his hand so that he won't be able to run after her anymore. '' Don't you get it? Let me go,'' he gave a menacing look back at her.She was forced to let him go. '' Lucy waits for me,'' Robin yelled after her. After both of them left two figures came into the room. '' How did it go?''.Sophia smiled at them. '' Best as it could. I bet he won't be able to do anything after this. Should I still stay in

As Robin was walking through the pavement of the city of London during the night he could only see the backs of people passing by. As if the time had stopped and everyone was in a hurry, in their own pace and he was the only one with no hurry at all.The sounds of their clatter and chatter seemed to irritate him too much. He walked past them and managed to find a deserted park there with hardly any people.'' Perfect spot,'' he said in his mind thinking he was one of the luckiest people on earth to be able to spend quiet time all by himself. With this thought in mind, he sat down on the bench. As he leaned onto the old wooden bench with his eyes at the empty sky as if it was trying to soothe him.He lets out a deep sigh thinking about his life had been changing these days. Lucy keeps misunderstanding him all the time. Her siblings are always insulting him because he has no money.Just because of the difference between the rich and poor,

You don't have to lie to me any further,'' she said holding a deep concern for him in her heart.'' You don't have to speak up, for me to understand what you are feeling or trying to say. Everything will be alright. Don't worry.'''' What are you?'' he tried to ask.'' Just stay there until you feel well. That's all I ever ask of you. Until you feel well, I will stay by your side to give you love and support.''She was always by his side in his childhood. Before he realised she was always out there wherever his eyes would see. Whenever he would need anything.She was kind, cheerful, bright and girly, more than this, she could paint. She was able to connect his world to hers through the bright colours. Their worlds overlapped each other.As if through weaving thr

He glanced over her shoulder to see Lucy standing there. His eyes widened and he walked a little away from Christina.What Lucy was doing there was probably one of the only things that he wants to know right now. Lucy was also speechless but then she was walking. Walking towards them.Noir had woken up and was looking for Christina. When she gets out of the hotel she headed down the road, only to see Lucy walking towards Christin and Robin.She hid behind the trees.

So I had been working and got up late. Sorry for the inconvenience.'''' Boss, shall we start the meeting already?'' asked her P.A. She was a woman with long hair and a short temper.
