The man behind the Artistic smile Returning home
Robin left home. He didn’t look back behind him. Lucy’s Mom saw him leaving the house. She and her dad had gone to visit some other cousins because they weren’t invited to the party.“Where’s he going?”.“Dear, help me take off my shoes.”“Coming.”He was walking through the road aimlessly without any sense of direction.Suddenly, the sky became cloudy and it started raining slowly little by little.He ignored the rain and continued to walk. His clothes were drenched in rain. Raindrops falling down from his head onto his eyes making his vision blurry.He didn’t look at the road when he was about to cross it.He just wanted to get away from everything. Get away from here to feel better and relieved.All of a sudden, he came in front of a car.He didn’t look up and only bowed his head, looking sideways he tried to cross the road.“Wait!” a voice called from behind, stopping him.He turns around to see a figure coming out of the car.Noir came out with an umbrella in her hand. She came u

Noir came from the sidelines.“He’ll be staying for the night.”“He has nowhere to go at the moment.”“Nowhere to go?”.“What?”.Chris rolled his eyes, then turned to Robin.“What is she saying now?”.“you heard her right.”“I came here to stay for the night-“.“And a couple of days,” noir added, gripping his shoulders.“Couple of days?”.“What happened to you after you ran after Ms. Lucy?”.“Is everything alright between the two of you?”.Robin’s throat goes dry hearing his question.“I….”.“Please don’t question him any further. He’s already feeling tired to answer so many questions.”“Why? What’s wrong?”.“He’s tired and also wet. Please give him a change of clothes.”“Oh, yes.”“What about you?” Robin asked her with a puzzled face.“Me?”.“I’ll be leaving for now.” “My cab is waiting outside the gate.”“Oh, but where is it?”.Robin asked, looking out at the door.The car had already left by then.Noir was surprised. “Did it leave already?”.“Wait, let me check.”She goes back to
The man behind the Artistic smile Staying at home
Robin and Noir takes a seat on the sofa after turning on the flashlight.“I’m going to find the candles then,” Chris said to Robin.He nodded.“I’ll stay with her.”Chris called some more butlers and they all went to search for it.Chris and others returned a while after that. They lighted up the candles and the living room became a lot more visible now.“Do you feel better?” Robin asked Noir, who was holding onto him and her whole body was shaking up in fear.Noir nodded.“Can you let go of me now?” he asked, patting the back of her head.She removed her hands from his clothes slowly.She looks around lowering her eyes at the bundles of candles lined up one after another.“I’m sorry for bothering you,” she murmured.Robin glanced at her.“No, there’s no need to feel bad about it at all. I know myself how much you are scared of the dark and lightning.”“Where’s Chris?”.“I’m here.” Chris added, coming from behind.“I had gone to see the power point, and I think that the power outage h
The man behind the Artistic smile A broken heart
Robin goes to his bed and lies down, covering his eyes with his hands.“I don’t feel well.”“The thought of Lucy not staying by my side suddenly, worries me, I don’t know why.”“What are you doing, Lucy?”.“Why did you told me to leave from your side?”. “I…..”.He closed his eyes, trying to adjust his eyes to the darkness in the room, though the room wasn’t that much dark as there was one candle lit in the room.A few minutes passed, and then there was a sudden knock on the door.“Are you asleep?” an woman’s voice called from outside the door.He gets up on his feet, and walked over to the side of the door.“Who came at this hour?”.“Noir, is it you?”.“Yes, me.”“Open the door, I have something to talk about with you.”“Uh, okay.”He opens the door slowly. Noir stood there with an half-smile on her face.“Sorry for bothering you.”“No, it’s alright. Come in.”“Thank you.”He closed the door when she walked in.“Have a seat.”He said showing her the chair.She takes a seat gently, an
The man behind the Artistic smile First morning in his house
After her mom left, Lucy opens her eyes and gets up on the bed.She stared down at her hands and clenched her fists out of anger.“Why did I had to act out like that for nothing? Mom must have been feeling bad about it, right?”.“I am taking out his anger on others for nothing.”When his face flashed into her mind she lies down on the bed, and snuggled her face between the pillows.“Everything is……I can’t even imagine what tomorrow is going to be like.”The morning came.Robin woke up only to see that he was sitting on the ground by himself along with Noir right beside him who was asleep at the moment.“Why’s she sleeping here with me?”.“Hey-“ he was about to call her but then stopped himself.He smiled and gets up from the ground.“She might be feeling cold. I should tell her to sleep on the bed. What’s the time?”.He glanced at his phone to see it’s only 7 in the morning.“Oh shoot!”.“7 o’clock. I need to wake up Lucy so she can get ready for office. But before that I need to do l
The man behind the Artistic smile Passing days
Afterwards, they have breakfast together. Robin and Noir were quite silent. It was until Chris came from behind and served them juice.“Young Master, I already informed the electricians.”“They’ll be coming within two hours.”“Oh, I see.”“But, I have to say, yesterday’s storm was something else, wasn’t it?”.“All the flowers in the garden are in worse condition when I checked.”Robin was not listening he was absent minded thinking of something else.Noir saw this, and tapped on his shoulders.“Are you alright?”.Robin adverted his eyes to her.“Ah, yes, I’m alright.”“You focus on eating.”“This omlett is good. What did you use to make it different?”.“Oh, that Billy, our new chef made. He’s hired by your dad for cuisins.”“I see.”“Is Mr. Lee still taking care of our garden like before?” Robin asked with an plain face.“Yes and no at the same time.”“He comes once a week and instead of him, his daughter comes here to tend the garden.”“Oh, when did he had a daughter?”.“After you le

Her mom and dad both were surprised.“What’s wrong? Are you alright?” her mom asked in a frantic tone.Lucy takes a sip of water and puts away her phone.“I’m fine,” she added, wiping away the corner of her mouth.“How did you choke?” her mom asked.“That’s……”.“Nothing.”The article contained the pictures of Robin and Christina hugging onto each other while the party was going on.“He did made it to the headlines, didn’t he?”.“What if my parents find out about it?”.“How will they react to this? Will I be able to handle-“.“Why am I even thinking about this?”.“I don’t care what everyone thinks about him.”“I should focus-“.She goes through the article one again, then goes through her call logs.“No missed call or any incoming.”“He doesn’t care about anything, does he?”.“Forget about him!”.“These peonies are all taken care of by me, you can clearly-“ the gardener looked at Robin who was going through his phone, checking the call logs.“No call. Why would she call anyway, right?”
The man behind the Artistic smile First day of the competition
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
