THE FOLLOWING MORNINGLucy steps out of her room, going through her bag and searching for something with utmost seriousness. She looks up when she heard sounds of plates and stops on her track when she finds Olivia setting the table for breakfast. Narrowing her brows, Lucy walks quietly towards Olivia who didn't seem to notice her presence until she clears her throat noisily."Well, look who decides to make breakfast today" Lucy teases.Olivia ignores her and left to the kitchen and returns with the last item. She finished setting the table and sits opposite Lucy."Exited about your new job?""Isn't it obvious? I mean, am excited and nervous. Can't believe am finally going back to work after all this years.."Olivia chuckles. They begin to eat in silence and it didn't take long before Lucy speaks up again."By the way, am still curious about last night and even when I keep asking, you keep saying it's nothing. Tell me, Did something happen to the premiere party? You returned earlier t
Tapping her feet on the ground, Lucy holds her tommy, groaning silently in pain. Thankfully, she's the only person in the elevator, which gives her the opportunity to visibly express her pain. She's so unlucky today. First, she got stuck in traffic and now she suddenly develops bellyache which got her wondering why it has to be today.. her first day at work.Frustration etches on her face and she wished it would just go away. It's not her time of the month yet, but she has to endure the bellyache until lunch break to get medicines.Lucy braces herself up and pretends to be okay as soon as the Elevator stopped and pulled open. She rushed out and almost immediately, bumps into someone and it aggravates her even more when she lands on her butt."Dammit.. Can't you watch where you're going?" She snaps, lifting her head up and staring at the stranger with anger in her eyes.She's not usually like this, rude and angry..... But her bellyache and the fact that she's already so late on her f
It wasn't all just a misunderstanding. He's standing right before her and they're both staring at each other. Even if she keeps avoiding Seeing him, she can't run away this time. It's too late. But why is he here? What is he here to say? Is he here to tease her? Why can't he just go out of her life completely?For Maynard, he's happy he finally gets to see her after all this time. She has become more beautiful than she is before. Now that she's before him, he suddenly lack words to say but he knew he had to say something, so as not to look like a complete lukehead."Olivia..." Maynard calls out in excitement, taking a step closer and wanting to hug her so desperately, but she sidesteps him by moving behind Sage who stepped forward in a protective manner, still not taking his glare off Maynard.Maynard felt disappointed and embarrassed that she sidestepped him and the strange man who had interfered like he was going to protect her is pissing him off.He throws an harsh glare at Sage
Olivia rubs her forehead and sighed for the hundredth time since they left the industry. Her forehead was knitted together in a frown and it's beginning to give her a migraine.Why would he want to see her after this years? Why would he want to speak about the letter he keeps sending? Looks like there's more to why he came to industry than what he claims.She hated the fact that she had to speak with him. She thought she'd be able to avoid him for the rest of her life, but how would she, when he suddenly showed up in her life."Are you okay? You haven't touched your ice cream yet?" Sage, whose eyes have been fixed on her this whole time asked."I lost my appetite" Olivia responded.Sage clenches his jaw. He has been trying not to show how angry he is and he kept wondering what was Maynard doing at the Industry. Why did he suddenly show up. The fact that he had tried to speak to Olivia in private annoys him.As long as he's still friends with her, he would never allow Maynard get close
STUDIO 54 CLUBHOUSEPushing himself through the crowded dancefloor, Maynard makes his way to the favorite spot he and Mark Townsend always uses.He saw Mark seated and sipping from his glass of alcohol with a half naked lady in front of him, dancing seductively and displaying her endowments.As soon as Mark sees him, he got excited and stands up to give him their usual bro hug but Maynard wasn't at all in the mood. He simply marched pass Mark and went to sit, still fuming in anger over what happened with Sage.Mark Townsend and Maynard have always been childhood buddies.Just like Maynard, Mark is the only heir to the Townsend family, raised by his grandfather. He had gone on vacation for a year and only just returned few days ago to assume his position as the new CEO of Townsend Group."Can't believe you got punched by some random guy.!!!" Mark laughs out after Maynard explains what actually caused his bruise."Is it that funny uh?"Mark tries to stop himself from laughing but he j
LATER THAT DAY"Are you sure you want to be here Olivia?" Sage asked, rushing behind her as she maneuvered her way through the crowd, to the spot where the entire team were already seated.Olivia stopped on her track and turns to Sage. "I'm really damn serious and am gonna be drinking to my heart content"She turns away and moved over to where her colleagues were and they were all just surprised to see her joining their hangouts.Sage shakes his head and joins them after seeing how serious she is. There's something off with her right from the moment she agreed to tag along.She seemed nervous and restless as well, like she's trying to get her mind off something.It felt to him like she was scared of something or someone and that's why she wanted to have him around. He had asked and all she said was that she was perfectly alright.The entire team were going crazy, drinking, chatting and laughing and it was crazy. Sage did not say a word but Just sat and kept his gaze fixed on Olivi
Olivia woke up to the sound of running water coming from the Kitchen area. She sat up and rubs her face, still recovering from the alcohol she had last night."Can't believe I had so much to drink" She mumbles to herself. She notices that the sound of running water had gone off. She really can't recall anything that happened last night, apart from the time she was dared to give Sage a kiss.How she got back home, to her room.. is still a mystery to her."Lucy!! Is that you?" She yells but got no response. She had no idea if Lucy returned home last night and her phone...She looks around for her phone and found it Lying on the side of her bed. Who could have placed it there? She had left it on the floor, refusing to go close to it, like she'd get burnt if she did.She manages to hold the phone. It's no use, the screen is broken, she'd have to get a new one. Tossing the phone to a corner, she got off the bed and puts her flip flops on and makes her way out, dragging her feet lazily beh
A MONTH LATER Unknown to Olivia, she has been under watchful eyes. Her every activities are being monitored, When she leaves her home, to the industry and where she goes there after and even who she hangs out with.It's none other than Maynard. All this time, he couldn't stop himself from wanting to know about everything that have happened to her over the last two years.With the help of his driver Henry, he was able to get the information he needed and also where she resides.But it bothers him more to see that she has been doing so well and living her life to the fullest without him.He can't help but question himself..Has she really moved on from him? Does she really not think about him?What annoys him most is the fact that Olivia hangs out with the Sage guy all the time. Seeing them eat out and the way she laughs and Jokes with him drives him crazy.What gave her the right to joke around with a man? Most times, he doubts if they're really just friends like Henry had reported.
