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.

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

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?”

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

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
