The man behind the Artistic smile Final task
Henry’s eyes widened in response when he saw the text message from Chelsa. He covered his mouth with his hand as his eyes widened.“This is Noir’s number. Why did she contact Chelsa to approve my application?”.“Why didn’t she even told me back then?”.Chelsa puts away her phone and sighs.“No matter how much you deny, none of this is gonna work.”“I have enough proofs against you.”“So, you should listen to me.” “Admit what your true motive is.”“You still have time.”Henry’s face goes pale. He looks here and there searching for the answer to her question.Silence remained. She looks up and comments, “You don’t want to admit it, do you?”.“Fine then. We’ll play your way.”“I’ll go and show this message to Ms.Lucy.”She turns away towards the other direction about to leave, but then Henry grabbed her by the hand.“Wait!”.“Don’t go.”“I’ll tell you everything. Don’t say anything to her right now.”Chelsa smiled.She turns around to see him.“Glad you are so smart for your own. It s

Lucy comments with a smile, “Hey!”.“What were you two doing together?”.“Any problem?”.Chelsa smiled and shakes head in disapproval.“We had gone for a drink together.”“How’s work?”.“All done?”.“The desserts haven’t arrived yet.” Chelsa moved to their side while Henry stood where he was standing.Zoe examined him a little and became puzzled.“Why’s he so quiet?”.“Okay, then let’s go and arrive near the food section again. When she’ll calls I’ll go and get her.”They start to walk away. Henry watched them go. Nick noticed that he was standing still, so he came up to him and patted him on the back.“Why are you standing here?”.Henry looked up at him with a worried face.“Uh….”.“Get going. Come!”.He dragged Henry away from there.After some minutes.The old lady who was supposed to give the delivery had sent her granddaughter in the van to deliver the desserts.She parked in front of the gate and stood there waiting for Lucy to arrive.“Should I call first? Or go and check?”.Li
The man behind the Artistic smile All for nothing
She thinks over this for a moment then sighs. “Alright then.” “I had already contacted her for several times. If she told you to say this to her there’s nothing I can do other than believe in your words.” “She already paid, so I really can’t do whatever it happens to the order after I hand it over.” “I’ll give the trays to you. No point in wasting my time here any further.” Gray’s eyes lights up with an smile. “That’s great.” “I’ll tell you where to place them. Send them over.” “Sure.” When Lucy was done with her work, she stared down at her phone to check the time. Only to see it was over 5. Chelsa came from behind while she stood in the food corner. “It’s over 5. Why’s the order not here yet?”. “The guests will come by 6, right?”. Lucy turns around her and nodded. “They were supposed to arrive on time, I called them half an hour ago and they still didn’t arrive yet.” “I should contact them again.” “Yeah, that sounds good.” “I’m going to bathroom. Call me if you nee
The man behind the Artistic smile Hanging on a thread
Suddenly, the image of Gray and Olivia flashed into her mind. “I hadn’t seen Julia and Hughes around her that much throughout the whole day.” “But, I had seen them all around me whole day.” “There has to be something about it.” “There has to…”. “Do you suspect anyone?”. “The one who took it goes by the name of Harry, and he’s an guy.” Between Gray and Hughes, Gray’s image became stronger in her head. She looked up at the direction of the main building and rushed out of there. Chelsa came back from the bathroom and saw her rushing without looking at her direction. Seeing this she walked up to her and reached out her to stop her only for Lucy to leave from her side without letting her catch her. Chelsa was shocked. “W-what?”. “Where’s she going in so much hurry?”. “Hey-“. Lucy had already vanished by then. “Guess, she’s not listening.” “I’ll wait for her to come back.” Lucy searched for Gray and walked straight towards his cabin. She opens the door and walked inside o

Nothing came to her mind, and she started walking, aimlessly without any sense of direction.She walked and walked and reached the food corner, in the backyard where everything was taking place.She glanced at the lights, mic, and stage, and everything made her feel even more depressed than before.She heaved a deep sigh, and turned her back on them before walking towards the other direction.She was wandering off aimlessly.She goes over to her department and closed the door behind her.Then goes over to her seat and sits down. She relaxed her head onto her seat and stared off into the space blankly.She searched for the solution to her problems but the answers were nowhere to be found.Nothing came to her mind. She searched for alternatives and all, but nothing came to her mind to fill up the rest of the desserts in such a short time.No restaurant will take her order, no matter how much she’ll pay. In the first place, where will she be getting the money from? The money grandpa ha
The man behind the Artistic smile Resolving things
“I will try my best to make it alright.” “Don’t worry, I’ll try whatever I can to help you out.”“But, how-“.“Just have faith in me.”“You’ll present the desserts to the guests on time. And that’s a promise.”“You just don’t panic and try to handle the situation in the meantime.”“Alright?”.She nodded.“But still, what will you do? There’s no you can persuade brother Gray.”“We don’t have any proof against him.”Robin sighs.“We may not have any proof against him. But that doesn’t mean he hasn’t done anything at all.”“He has something which he is also aware of himself. So, you don’t need to feel bad for him at all.”“He has to pay for his sins, this time.”“All four had tried their best to belittle you in front of others all the time. This is the time they pay for all of this.”“You’ll not be ashamed in front of others, I can assure you that.”He said with assurance.She couldn’t help but smile for anything.“Can I believe in your words?” she asked, gulping down.Robin smiled.“Yo
The man behind the Artistic smile Before everything starts
Lucy nodded hesitantly, “Yes, all because you didn’t butt in.”Julia glared at her.“What do you mean by my butting in?”.“Nothing.”“She has some sharp tongue, doesn’t she?” Olivia comments, coming from behind.Olivia smiled back at Julia, then at Lucy.“But, the food is quite good. I tasted it myself.”“Is that so?” Julia remarks.“Yes.”“Why are you all chatting around here?” Hughes comments from behind.Hughes was all dressed up in clothes. Everyone looked at him with surprise.“Where’s brother Gray?”.Olivia pointed in the other direction.“He’s there greeting guests. What do you need him for?”.“Oh, I need to get the stage and lights. Forget about it, I’ll tell this to him only.”“And you all, Grandpa-“.Picado gets up on the stage and cleared their throat standing in front of the mic.Everyone looked in his direction.“There he is, go and gather around the front seats. Grandpa might call for us any moment.” Hughes said to them.Lucy nodded.“Let’s go then,” Julia and Olivia le

Picado started speaking. “Today’s the annual function of our Campbell corporations limited.”“I thank all the guests for coming here to this very beautiful evening.” “This company has come much far with the help of all the people working alongside, its employees, and the most important person, the CEO who made all of this possible for us, Mr. Huston Campbell, the owner who founded this at the age of 25.”“Even though his health is not doing very well, he still managed to come today.”“Let’s welcome, Mr. Huston on stage.”Everyone was clapping in response.Grandpa arrives at the stage along with the help of Isabella and Gray’s dad who has arrived at the spot. Picado assists him along.He was in his wheelchair, facing all those people. Picado held the mic close to his mouth.“Is there anything that you want to say to all the people who arrived?”.“Yes.”Lucy and others were sitting in the front row watching him from a close distance.“I’m very much happy to meet to see the happy face

The night seemed to long, but eventually it passed by.In the morning, Lucy woke up and brushed her hair.After brushing she goes to have breakfast.When she finished eating she goes to her room for one final time.Suddenly, her phone started ringing.She looks around, searching for the source of the noise.And found it sitting on the bed.She picked it up and looked at the screen, only to see none other than Chris’s number displaying.“Who’s this now?”.“Hello, who?”.“I’m Chris, thanks for picking up.”“Chris? Who’s that?”.“I need you to come to a place, please come immediately.”“A place? But where?”.“I’m sending the location, please come by 9, it’s urgent.”“9, but why?”.“You need to know something. It’s about Mr. Robin. If you won’t hear it out you might regret it later.”“Regret?” Lucy became puzzled for a second.“What are you talking about? Please explain.”“You only need to hear this, nothing else.”“I’m hanging up for now. I’ll be waiting.”“hey, hello-“.Lucy stared at h

After that, wedding preparations were going in the Bradley household.Everywhere there are lights, decorations many guests are invited for it.While Richard was reading aloud the name of the guests he was inviting, Robin was just staring out at the door without listening to him.His dad noticed this and called, “Are you still wishing that your wife will come back and waste this marriage?”.“You are already divorced. Stop daydreaming.”Robin turns to his dad with an worried face.“What? No, I’m not thinking about anything like that.”“That’s written all over your face. Stop looking at the past and move forward with the future.”“you will have a new life with a new partner. Why don’t you-“.Christina came from the other corner of the room.Richard spots her and smiled. “There she is, your would-be wife. Come here dear.” Robin looks out to see Christina.“Sit beside him. I want to discuss about your dress and everything. We don’t have much time so we have to hurry up and arrange it.”
The man behind the Artistic smile The Divorce agreement
“Divorce papers sent by Mr. Robin.” Replied the man in a cold tone.Lucy’s eyes widened in shock.“What?”.“Mr. Robin wants to break off this marriage, which is why he has sent me these papers along with his signs. If you sign them then this agreement will be complete.”“After this, you two will no longer be husband and wife.”Lucy’s whole world crumbled. She couldn’t believe anything at all.The lawyer handed out the papers to her to review.“Have a look.” Lucy peeked at the file, still unable to believe it.Then she picked it up gently, and starts to check inside.Robin’s sign remained there by itself.She ran her fingers across the signature.“I know it’s quite sudden news for you to take,” The lawyer began to speak.“But, even you knew it yourself, that this day was going to come eventually.”“You two had been staying separated for over a week, so he finally made up his mind.”“He don’t want anything to do with you, so please if you feel the same, then sign this agreement.”“This

You didn’t eat since the afternoon.”Richard looked at his son.“Oh, he didn’t eat, why?”.“He was worried for Ms. Lucy, that’s why.”“Oh?” Richard glanced at Robin and began to talk.“I met her today face to face. Quite an enthusiastic spirit considering they are the Campbells.”“I invested quite an large amount of money today.
The man behind the Artistic smile Victory at last
His dad and Robin appeared sitting in the back of the car, smoking a cigar.“Hm….you know it yourself how much of an amount you are telling me to invest in her, aren’t you?”.“That’ll cost you a lot.” “Are you willing to pay for it?”.Robin looked at him with a straightforward gaze.“I know, but I’m still going to take the risk anyway.”“Hm…..”."You may never see her again. Will you still risk it?" his eyes were serious when he looked at Robin. Robin takes a deep breath, "I don't care. As long as she is happy, as long as she wins and earns her reputation, I don't care.""I want her to achieve her goal. I'm ready to pay any price." Richard clicked his tongue, "I hate brainless monkey's like you. Hard to think you are my son." “Alright then.”“I don’t mind helping you out.”“As long as you get to divorce her in the end, I don’t care.”“I will,” Robin said, taking a deep breath.“Good then.

The man behind the Artistic smile The final request
The next morning.By the time Lucy’s team reached office, she had already arrived and started working.“When did you came?” Nick asked, putting down his bag.“Quite an couple of hours ago. You all sit down and start working.”“The meeting will be in 11, then we will focus on the next one after the deal is signed.”“There’s no time to waste, hurry up!”.“Ah, yes!”.They get into work, and attend the meeting.

He closed the door behind him and locked it. Then carried her up to the bed, and placed her on the bed roughly.Christina looked up at his face unable to understand what was going on.“What is he planning to do?”.He held her hands above her head and peered deep into her eyes.Her throat was starting to go dry out of fear and excitement.“Um…Robin….”.He clicked his tongue and pulled her roughly, helping her get up on her feet from the bed.They stood face to face on the ground.He was starting to take off his clothes. She adverted her eyes right away.He finally unbuttoned his shirt and now stood topless.“Kneel!” he commanded in a harsh tone.She was startled when he yelled.“Uh…..”.“Are you saying-“.“Kneel!” he said again.“On the ground?” she stuttered.He nodded his head sideways.She glanced down at the carpet lying at her feet and gets down on her feet.“Kneel as a dog does!” he added.She changed her posture and sat just like an obedient dog does.She looked at his face and
