The next morning came.Lucy’s alarm rang off which she turned off after waking up.“When did I fell asleep?” she grunted.She opens her heavy eyelids and looked at the clock.It was 8:30 a.m. sharp.Her eyes widened in shock.“Crap! Why am I so late?”.“Why didn’t he wake me up? Is he cooking or something?”.She pulled over her blankets and gets down from the bed.“This is very careless of him not to wake me up in the morning.”“I need to tell him something.”“Where is he?”.While she was about to step into the bathroom to freshen up, she glanced back at her room.She looked around and realized something.“Oh…..”.“He’s not here any longer.”“How did I forget about this?”.“I….”.“There’s no time for me to mourn for him any longer. I have to go to office. Today’s the start of the final test.”“I have to finish work and catch up on the ranks fast.”“Having the 4th position which I’ll least prefer.”Afterwards, she goes to the breakfast while brushing her hair.Her mom notices her and s
Lucy reached the office on time. Then she starts heading towards her department.“Gosh! I’m so late.”“I should-“.She heard the nearby whispering of the people who were around her.“Isn’t she the wife of the guy who was seen the other day with other woman?”.“I feel pity for her who has to put up with everything.”Lucy ignored all of their whisperings and kept walking.Suddenly, she bumped into someone.“Ah, sorry.”“Can’t you see where you are going?” a remark came from the other side.She looks up to see Julia standing.Julia patted away the dirt from her dress.She glared at Lucy.“Use your eyes from next time. God!”.Julia was about to walk away but then stopped in her tracks and looked back at Lucy.“Did you slept well after what your husband has done to you?”.“Do you still like to sleep next to him?”.“Don’t you feel disgusted?”.Lucy glared at her.“And that’s none of your business,” she added, getting up on her feet.“I’m late. Get out of my way.”Julia smirked and stepped a
The daytime work started everyone was working without taking any breaks.During Lunchtime, Nick gets up from his seat and looked at others.None of them had stopped working and they were still working.“Guys,” he walked over to their desks.“Aren’t you all going to eat? It’s lunch time.”“I haven’t finished my reports yet,” Chelsa replied.“I’m not done as well,” Henry replied.“I need to organize the documents for the meeting 10 minutes later,” Zoe replied in an exhausted tone.“What? Meeting in 10 minutes? I wasn’t aware of it.”“And why weren’t you aware of it?” Lucy added, coming from the side of her desk.She was carrying a file. She handed it over to Chelsa’s desk.“Go through them and make an report what the client will like the best.”“We will be talking over the deal during the meeting and after that we will start the next project and then meeting at evening then talk over the deal and go back home.”“I’m guessing we can finish by 5 or 6.”“Even though you made it sound so ea
“We don’t like your project, redo it!” said one of the clients who were present in the meeting.Lucy stood right in front of them, explaining the whole project to them while her team members stood right behind her.Lucy’s face goes pale.She composed herself and cleared her throat.“What do you mean by you don’t like the project?”.“What don’t you like about it?”.“I mean, what’s wrong in it?”.“We made the project just the way you wanted it.”The client gets up on his feet and placed his hands in his pockets, giving an sour face.“Your grandpa recommended me good service which is why I came here, but he’s proved wrong.”“The project that you made is not upto the expectations that I held for your company and your department.”“I have pointed out our requirements. Do the changes and then come to me.”“We can arrange the meeting one hour later, cause I want to be done with it by today.”“If you can do everything as I want, then only I can sign the deal or else this is over for today.”“
Lucy reached home in a couple of minutes. She was greeted by her mom. "Want something to drink? How was your day? Did everything go well at the office?".Lucy gave a glance and sighs."I can't answer so many questions at once. Slow down a bit." "Slow down? oh, sorry." "You go and take some rest I'll send the dinner to your room." "Did you and dad eat already?"."Uh-huh." "I made sphagetti and......"."Great."Lucy closed the door behind her and starts to take off her clothes. While doing so, she was thinking about something. The meeting earlier had effected her a lot."Our project was no good for him." "A no good." "I can't let that happen tomorrow. I have to be in the 3rd rank at least there's still time for improvement." "I have to work even more hard for it. Even if it takes time I'll finish work and then come back home. or i can start the next work a bit as well." Her phone was beeping suddenly.She searched for it only to find it in her office bag.She takes it out and
Robin said nothing in answer. But just staying silent was not going to be the solution to their problems.Robin sat at home, staring at his phone, hoping to receive a call from Lucy, or a text or a mail.But, no matter how much he waited, she didn’t call him.The second day started.Lucy was late to arrive at office today as well. She first goes to Picado’s office to receive the files.Then she goes to her department.The second she was about to get off the lift, she bumped into someone which made her drop her files on the ground.She looked up at the person only to see Gray standing.He also was carrying files on his hand and dropped them when they both bumped into each other.Gray glanced at the files and looked up at Lucy.“Hey, good morning.”Lucy also looked at him hesitantly.“Morning.”Both the files were of same color, so she picked up the one that was at her feet.“Sorry, I didn’t see you were-“.“No, it’s alright.”“I’m fine.”Lucy was about to walk past, but then Gray remar
“You are running your mouth too much!” Gray yelled, pointing to her direction.“You can’t insult me like that!”.“I can!” Lucy yelled back.“If you can insult me, so I can. There’s nothing wrong with it!”.“Anyway,” she stepped away with an sigh.“I don’t want to waste my breath on you. I have work, excuse me.”Lucy walked past him, without giving him any chance to say anything else in return.Gray glared at her when she left.“You are running your mouth too much Lucy.”“You’ll have to pay a price, for wanting to sound so arrogant in front of me.”“I’ll not digest the mockery so easily. What should I do to get her into even more trouble?”.He was thinking over this for a while. When he reached his cabin, he sits down, putting down the file.He was lost in thoughts.It was then one of his team members came up to his table and said, “Aren’t you going to start working? We have a new project to attend to, right?”.Gray turned to the man, still lost in thoughts.The guy became puzzled.“Is
Lucy observed the face of the girl, it was someone quite familiar to her.“You….”.“Are you alright? Get up!” Zoe held out her hand to Lucy.Lucy holds onto it and gets up on her feet.“I’m fine. No need to worry.”“You don’t look fine, are you hurt?” Nick asked.“No.”“How did you fall down?” Chelsa asked.“It was an accident.” Stuttered the girl who had bumped into her.“I’m sorry,” she apologized bowing her head.“It’s fine, you don’t need to worry about it,” lucy replied.“I hope you aren’t hurt.”“No, I’m not.”She glanced down at the files down at their feet.“I’ll pick them up for you.” She said, getting down on her knees.“It’s alright though-“.“No, no.”She picked them up and handed out one file to Lucy.“Here you go,” she said with an smile.Lucy takes them out of her hands without any hesitation.“Thank you.”“Let’s get going then,” Chelsa said.Lucy nods. “Be careful from next time.” She said to the girl.“I will!”.They reach the meeting room in a while.The client arriv
