Quarreling among themselves

“Is there anything else that you want to ask of me?” Picado asked turning to them. Lucy stood up on her feet, raising her hand in response. “Yes, please go on,” Picado replied. Everyone in the room stared at her only. “When is this test going to start?”. “Hm….that’s an very good question.” “Though, we wanted to start by this week, but today’s Wednesday.” “As it’s right in the middle of the week, we won’t start right away.” “We are giving you some days to rest, and start from next week. How does that sound? Your grandpa told me to get all of your opinions on this. What do you say?”. “Want to start from next week, or the week after this?”. “What’s the point of waiting for next week?” Gray retorted in a sharp tone. “If there’s going to be a battle anyway then no point in standing still.” “The more earlier we finish, the better.” “I vote for next week.” “Whoever agrees with me raise their hand.” Olivia glanced at Julia, then raised their hand. Then Hughes did as well. Picad

Memories part 1

Robin stood at the doorway, peering inside the room with a keen eye. “Go in and see for yourself,” Chris said, pushing him in the back.Robin stepped inside and stared at the abandoned chairs and stacks of books lined side by side, along with the pictures, etc.He watched them with tearful eyes. He walked towards the chairs and then touched the chair. The instant he touched it, an image ran to the back of his mind.He closed his eyes and recalled a memory playing in his head.The image of his mother sitting, along with him in his lap when he was little while reading a book aloud.“Mom, tell me the story of the brave robin-hood again.”“read it for me.”“You want to read it again?”.“How many times do you want to hear the same thing all over again?”.“I don’t get tired of it no matter how many times I hear it.”“I just love it, Mommy.”“That I can see very much well.”“Come here then. I’ll read it out.”He sat quietly while his mom began to read.“And, that’s the end.”“Young Master.

Memories part 2

“Mom, you always read books and never listen to me. Why do you do that for?” he grunted, pulling at her dress.“I understand that you want to play. But, you should listen to elders as well.”Robin looked down at his feet.“I understand.”“I’m going.”He was about to run away from there, but she held onto his hand stopping him on the track.He didn’t look in her direction.“Why are you stopping me? Don’t you hate me or something? What are you stopping me for?”.“Who said I hate you?”.“I can tell.”“Aww….”. she picked him up in his arms and stared at his face.He was not looking at her in the eyes, putting on a pout face.“Are you angry at mommy?” she asked.He looked away. “No, why would I be angry?”.“I am not angry at all.”“Then why are you not looking in my direction?”.“Come on. Look at me!”.He refused to look.So, she rubbed her cheek against his. “You see, mommy, likes to spend her time here. So, so you should also respect what others like, understand?”.“But…..”.“Older peop

Unfinished conversation

Chris held onto Robin’s shoulders tightly. “Young master.”Robin stared at him. “What?”.“Young master, there’s a reason why I called you in here. And you must know what it is,” he asserted giving a severe face to Robin. Robin could tell from the graveness in his voice. “Yes, I came here just so I could hear what you have to say.”“But, why did you tell me to meet outside? Was there a reason behind this also?”.Chris nodded, lowering his eyes down at his feet.He composed himself and looked Robin straight in the eye.“There’s a big conspiracy going on, which is involving you also, in fact, you are the core point of it.” “What?”. “The people you know as the good ones, are not good for real.” “What do you mean?”.“I mean to say, you must know the true identity of the bad people who want to create trouble and confusion in your life.”“What do you mean? Who wants to do that?”.“That’s someone very close to you.”“Close to me?” Robin furrowed his eyebrows in confusion.“Who are you

No union

Henry looked at their faces and came forward.“Um…..am I disturbing or something? Then I’ll come back later.”“No, you don’t have to leave,” Lucy replied, glaring at Gray.“I’m done with the work from this side anyway. We’ll go together.”“Yeah, leave! You are just wasting the oxygen in the air. Go!” Julia yelled at her.Lucy walked past Gray, then joined Henry.“Let’s go.”Henry nodded and then they both left.Hughes came forward and placed his hand on Gray’s shoulder.“Are you sure you don’t want to team up with us?”.“The aura she’s carrying with her only makes me feel that she’s going to do whatever she can to take us down.”“Grandpa is not letting us use cheating methods either. How will we win?”.Gray sighs and removed his hand right away, turning to him.“If he’s not going to let us achieve the results we want by force, then we have to use a more tactical method to win.”“Let the test start.”“I have my own methods to play.” “We will let Lucy fly to how much she wants for the

Companionship

Lucy and Henry were walking in the hallway together. Henry stopped walking and stared at Lucy’s back.“Um…..was the meeting over by the time I reached there? Or did I interrupt or something?” he asked.Lucy looks behind him and gave a complimentary.“Yes, the important meeting is over. The real task starts next week. Let’s go and join others. I’ll explain everything to you altogether.”“Oh….sure.”They reached their department. Lucy called everyone to gather which they did.Henry was the last one to come as Lucy had told him to fetch something.After he came Lucy took the paper from him and placed it beside her.“So, what’s the important meeting that you had gone to attend?” Chelsa asked, her eyes filled with curiosity.“It’s been over an hour since you came to the office. How will we be able to finish off work for the day?” Zoe added.Lucy picked up the paper in her hands, and replied, “Work is not important at the moment.”Nick tilted his head in confusion.“Then what’s important?”

Fixing

“What’s wrong?” Chelsa asked with a puzzled face seeing Lucy go all silent.Lucy composed herself taking deep breaths. She stood up, staring at them with a straightforward gaze.“Thank you, everyone. I’m grateful to you all for respecting my decision and listening to me.”“I wouldn’t have been able to come this far without your help, so, I hope we’ll have more good times together.”She forwards her hand towards them.“I hope we will be able to all those competitors out there, and win this game. Are you with me?”.Nick came and placed his hand on top of hers. “Yes.”Chelsa also did the same, following Zoe.“Forget about the money I said earlier. I don’t need it.”“If you can become the owner of the company, I hope something good will happen, after all, you are a hard worker.”“This company has a big future if you lead it. So, I want you to win and become the CEO of Campbell Enterprise.” “I hope you won’t disappoint me.” Lucy nodded. “I’ll try my best not to disappoint you.”“You bet!

Her threat

Noir and Robin left together. Chris watched them go.“I wasn’t able to tell him what I wanted to say even now.” he clenched his fists out of frustration.“Hope, I’ll be able to say it by today.”Lucy and her co-workers went to a family restaurant and ate and talked about the test given by her grandpa.They discussed everything while eating. Henry went to the restaurant. He took out his phone and dialed the number of Noir.She didn’t pick up the phone. He again called two to three times, but she didn’t pick up.“Isn’t she able to hear her phone ringing?”.“Why she’s not picking up my call?”.He was about to dial again but then stopped.“Maybe she’s busy, No point in calling any further.”“I’ll just text her.”“That’ll work.”He returned to where the others were.“It was a nice day we spent together. Thank you for this opportunity Chelsa.” Lucy said, standing up.Everyone looked at Chelsa.She became surprised herself why she said that about him.“What? What did I do?”.“You were the on

Her desire

Noir shot up glances at him, as her lips curled into a smile. “You don’t understand?”.“No, I don’t!”.“Why are you telling people to kidnap, Laila? What has she done to you?”.“Hm, she has done nothing, but…..”.“But?”.“Your existence is quite painful for me.”“You are trying to get in the way of my plan.” “And, I definitely can’t let that happen.” “Your plan?”.“Why do you want to reveal me in front of Robin? What will you be getting from this?”.Chris gulped, clenching his fists.“I’m….definitely not trying to do that.”“Then why did you call Robin to this house?”.“Was It just to meet him?”.“Y-yeah…..”.“Don’t lie.”“You were trying to look for ways to say that Uncle and I were plotting something together.”“And don’t even think about denying it! Why do you want to reveal me?”.“That’s……”.Chris heaved a sigh and looked up at her.“Don’t involve my daughter in this.”“Why do you want to get in between young master and his wife?”.“What have they done to you?”.“They love each

A small car accident

Chris sighs, heaving a deep breath.“No matter how much you try. You can’t force your love onto someone else.”“Love doesn’t work like this.” His statement echoed into her ears.She almost backed away in attempt.“You…..”.“You are wrong!” she gritted onto her teeth.“He’ll love me!”.“He has to love me after Lucy’s gone. When she won’t be beside him any longer, he has to love me!”.“And, I’m sure that’s going to happen. You mark my words!”.Chris took a step forward, fixing his posture to give her a straight gaze.“You need to see the reality sitting in front of you.”“Just because Young Master is not familiar to your real identity, you can’t use him like this. He loves his wife, and they both are in love with each other. You are trying forceful ways to tear them apart. At the end, you will only fail and get hurt.”“So, it’s good to back away when you can, and also have the time to do it.”“You’ll never have his love this way. He won’t love you when he learns that you tried various w
