The third wheel

Lucy brought the dress close to her chest. One of the warmest smiles appeared at the corner of her lips.“I love this dress. Thank you.”Robin’s heart fluttered in joy.“She likes it. I chose it for her, and she liked it.”“I’m feeling hungry, let’s go and have dinner,” she said, walking up to him, and wrapping her arms around his.Robin nods.“Where do you want to go?”.“To a Chinese restaurant. I’m craving spices.” She said with a blush.“Spice?”.“What are you thinking? Let’s go!” she dragged him away towards the elevator.Henry leaves the mall right after them.He wore a plain blue jacket and white shirt underneath with black jeans.“tch, I’m feeling so hungry. What should I eat till I get to kill some time?”.Suddenly he spots a Chinese restaurant.“Is this the only place for eating here?”.His stomach rumbled in hunger.“Don’t have the courtesy to choose, do I?”.“Let’s go.”He walked inside and looks around.He searched for an empty seat to see Lucy and Robin sitting down at th

Her resolution

“Is everything alright?” Henry asked with a worried face.“Why did you force her to drink? Don’t you know she can’t handle drinks that much?”.“Force? No, she agreed to “.“Shut up! I don’t want to hear anything from you.”Henry became surprised second by second seeing his actions.“Can you get up?” Robin asked Lucy.“Uh, yes.”“Have some water.”She drank it in one go.“Are you feeling better?”.She nods.“Good, then we should just leave for now. Come with me.”“Are you leaving right away?” Henry asked.Robin looked at him with contempt and disgust.“Yes, we are leaving. And you don’t have the right to stop me.”“I’ll pay the bill left. You do whatever you want to.”“Goodnight!”.Robin carried Lucy by the shoulder and helped her get up.“Bye……” Lucy murmured underneath her breath.“Stop talking and come with me!”.He dragged her out of the door without looking back behind them.Henry was left on the table all by himself.He clenched his fists in anger and clenched his jaw.He exhaled

Futile resistance

Lucy and Robin both return home by taxi. When he reached home, he carried her on his back and brought her to their room. He opens the door with one hand and walks in. He placed her gently on the bed and lied her down making sure that her head was resting on the pillow. Then, he sat beside hers and traced her face with his hands, watching her sleeping soundly. “Why did that guy have to come today? He messed everything up.” He removed his hand and pulled the covers up to her chest. He sat there and looked in the other direction, going all quiet. “It’s late, I should let her sleep.” He got up from there to turn off the lights only to be pulled by a hand stopping him from going anywhere. He glanced downwards to see Lucy holding onto his hand. “Don’t go,” she murmured in her sleep. Seeing this, he stayed beside her till she fell asleep. He patted her head to give her comfort. When she fell asleep he tried to remove his hand, but her hold was strong. “What am I going to do now?”

The last pawn part 1

Chelsa was on the way to their office. She was in a taxi. All that she could think of was what was going to happen to her as she knows the enemy very well.“He’s not going to spare me also. I need to be careful that he won’t be able to insult me in front of her. I know everything after all.”“What If I try to expose him? Will that-“.“Your stop!” the driver mentioned stopping the car.“Ah,” she glanced at the big gate which was the entrance.She paid the tip and got off from the car.“Have a nice day!” said the driver before driving away.“Nice day?” she retorted.“Is this sarcasm? There’s no way I am having a good day as long as he’s in this office.“I need to be aware of him and face him with a clear head no matter what. There’s no room for mistakes. He’s a formidable opponent.”Inhaling a deep breath, she relaxed her muscles and stepped forward into the building.On the way to the lift she kept fixing her hair, she was so preoccupied with herself that she didn’t notice that, someon

The last pawn part 2

Meanwhile, Nick reached the office. He was waiting for the lift to arrive and waited. Dark circles had formed under his eyes from exhaustion. “I have hit my 4th coffee in the morning before coming to the office. I don’t know how I’m going to keep up with anything at all.” “There’s so much work to do.” “I had created the file within one week, and now she’s telling me to finish it in two days. I don’t know how I am going to do it at all.” “I hope Zoe will be coming to the office today. I had informed him about her order.” Meanwhile, in the elevator. “What? Are you scared now?” Nick remarks with a sneer. His lips curled into a playful smile. “Scared of losing your job? I knew you would be!”. “From next time,” he placed a finger on her chin. “You should keep your sharp tongue under control.” She removed his hand right away. “Don’t touch me!”. He glared. “Still haven’t lost all the temper, did you?”. “And here I thought I could give you a chance so that you won’t lose your j

A punch is all that it takes

Within a split second, Nick punched his face of Hughes without any thought.Chelsa’s eyes widened seeing this. She could hardly believe what he did just now. everything happened so fast that she couldn’t see it.It took her some moment to process the words into her mind.“She’s an employee, not a low-life servant!” Nick stated, removing his hand from Hughes's face.Blood was dripping down from Hughes's nose, reaching up to his lips.His eyes turned all red from anger.“It hurts!” he cried out, covering his face with his hands. To stop the blood from flowing out he took out his handkerchief and covered his face with it.“Forgive me, but I couldn’t stop myself from doing that.” Nick apologized, backing away.“Cause you deserved that for behaving like that with her, and insulting her as a low-life servant.”“I’ll make you pay for this! I’ll do it!” Hughes shouted.Chelsa stepped forward about to speak up. But Nick didn’t give her the chance to do it.He took her by the hand and dragged h

Accusations

Seeing this they both went their separate ways feeling embarrassed.He gave a strange look to them.“Is everything alright?” he asked them.Chelsa cleared her throat. Nick went up to his seat without saying anything else.After some minutes pass, the door opens with a loud bang this time.Chelsa and everyone present in the room heard the noise and became alert.Hughes stepped inside the door wearing a grumpy look on his face. His nose had been bandaged and he came in while placing his hands on his pockets.“Is Lucy here?” he yelled, looking here and there throughout the room.This time, Zoe got up from his seat and walked over to the door, and saw Hughes standing.He had a file in his hand.“Um……”.“What might you be here for?” he asked.“Where is Lucy? I need to talk to her! I am her cousin's brother, Hughes Campbell.”“Oh, I’ll go and call her right away, please wait for a little.”“And what’s your business?”.Hughes gave a death glare.“I don’t need to say about it to you.”Nick he

Alibi

Nick narrowed his eyes at Hughes, his face showing no expressions.“Yes, I called you a liar. You have any problem?” he retorted in a sarcastic tone which pissed off Hughes more than he had imagined.Hughes was about to explode, turning into a bomb at any moment without any triggers.Hughes heaved a deep sigh and went all silent.He paused without speaking at all.Suddenly, he gave an icy gaze to Nick.“I have decided!”.He looked away.“I’m going to kick you out of this office, no matter what it takes me to.”Chelsa’s eyes widened hearing the word Kick out.She walked up to Nick and tugged at his wrists.“Why don’t you apologize? This isn’t going to work like this.”“Apologies, maybe he’ll let us off.”Hughes could hear what she whispered to Nick.He smirked and placed his hands in his pockets.“I don’t understand what’s going on here at all!” Lucy admitted, stepping forward.“Who’s lying here and who’s telling the truth? I am confused.”Henry nods in approval.“Yes, I don’t understa

His confession

Hughes took the phone from the man’s hand and then turned on the video recording.He showed it to others.After seeing it everyone’s eyes widened.Chelsa’s throat went dry as sweats formed over her forehead.Henry watched the video very clearly, and after a while, he concluded.“I hope everything is clear to you at the moment!” Hughes stated, staring at Nick and Chelsa.Lucy clenched her fists and went over to her side of Nick.She stared at his face. He could hardly keep looking her eye to eye. His words got stuck in his throat.“I…all of this-“.Lucy slapped him across the face without any thought on her mind.“I wasn’t expecting you to do this at all.”“You ruined my reputation over nothing.”“I’m disappointed!”.Chelsa looked at Nick with a horrified expression on her face.“Because of me, he had to be slapped.”“Everything is my fault.”“Then your brother was telling the truth all this while? Wasn’t he?” Henry comments, stepping forward.Zoe looked at Nick with confusion.“Why di

Victory

Hughes's eyes widened hearing Nick’s statement.“You, scum!” he rushed to Nick’s side right away and grabbed him by the collar.“You are still trying to blame me. I am the one who harassed her? Do you have any proof for your words?”.“You should get your eyes checked. Cause, I wasn’t harassing her at all.”Nick glanced sideways and looked at the man whom he brought with him.“He was with her the entire time, right? He must have seen you harassing her. Didn’t you?”.Hughes glanced at the man who brought the footage.His eyes stopped him from talking anything else further.“I….”.“Speak up! You saw him harassing her, right?” Nick pointed at him, stabbing a finger.Hughes's throat went dry as he was sweating a little also.Zoe came from behind and held onto the man’s hand to stop him from moving.“Confess the truth! We want to hear it.”Lucy, Henry, and Chelsa both looked in the man’s direction waiting to hear his response.That man lowered his eyes away, took off his glasses, and wiped
