“Is that Lucy?” he dashed towards the bathroom right away.He stood outside the door and knocked on it.“Lucy!”.“Are you alright?”.“Can you hear me?”.“Hey!”.She gave no response back. He stood there all puzzled unable to understand what was going on.“Lucy!”.He heard another groaning noise coming from inside the room. He was able to understand she was in pain or something else.“I should check her out. What if she’s not in any condition to call out?”.“I should go inside.” He placed his hand on the doorknob feeling hesitant.“Is this alright for me to “.He kicked aside all the hesitation and without a second thought enters through the door.“Lucy, are you alright-“ his eyes searched for the figure only to see her sitting on the ground with her knees hugged closer to her chest.The shower was on, and she was sitting there getting wet. Water was dripping down from her hair. she sat with the white towel wrapped around her chest which was already drenched with water that came down f

“Why did she call me suddenly?”. Christina puts down the phone.Suddenly she received a call from Richard.“Yes.”“Noir called me.”“What did she talk about?”.“Just getting enough information about my whereabouts.”“Oh.”“Maybe she doesn’t mean any harm. But still, be careful. Don’t leak any information about you.”“Sure. I’m hanging up for now.”She puts away her phone and looked out through the window.“Noir, what exactly are you planning? I just can’t get the suspicion off.”“How did she know Uncle was talking with me earlier in the morning?”.“Was she spying on him?”.Noir cuts the call and sits down on her bed with a thumping sound.“Gosh, she’s so nosy.”“I wonder if she suspected me or anything like that.”“But the way she was talking, she sounded quite strange.” “I wonder why?”.“If she’s not working with Uncle, then he would have said something about her to me right? There’s no point in him lying to me.”“Maybe, all of it is just my imagination and nothing else.”Meanwhile,

The next morning came.Robin had gotten up faster than Lucy, so he went to draw outside while carrying his canvas in hand without telling Lucy as she wasn’t awake.He searched for a spot to do it, but couldn’t find any suitable places to do it.In the end, he decided to go near the lake nearby their house. It was a 20-minute walk from there.He sits down on the green grass and watched the lake. Ducks were swimming away while the ducklings were following behind them.He took out his painting things and started to draw.At first, his mind goes blank thinking about what to draw. But after a lot of time, he decided on what to draw.When he was in the middle of drawing there was a woman with a similar resemblance to Lucy sitting near the lake playing with the ducks and feeding them.He drew it with a smile on his face.“Didn’t think she was going to be an inspiration to draw.”At last, he finished drawing in a couple of minutes.He stared at it with a satisfied smile on his face.“Finally!

When Christina left, Robin looked down at the brushes down at his feet.“She created enough mess for me before leaving. Whenever she comes back, a bad feeling always remains.”“Hope she’s not looking for trouble again.”He heaved a sigh and goes back to painting the drawing that he drew earlier.When he goes back home he searched for Lucy. But she was nowhere to be seen.“Where is she?” he goes back to his art room and puts down the canvas before heading towards their room to search for Lucy.“Lucy.” He called, opening the door.But the bed was all folded up and she was nowhere to be seen.“Did she woke up already? Or is she in the kitchen?”.After searching throughout the house, he sits down on the couch and dialed her number.He called her and she picked up after two times.“Hello.”“What’s the matter? Why are you calling suddenly?”.“Yes, that’s for a reason.”“Where are you now?”.“Um…..in the office.”“Office? Why?”.“Isn’t this your day off?”.“Yeah, but….”.“Grandpa sent a mail

Gray was in the office, talking to someone when Olivia came up to him from behind and tapped on his shoulders.Gray accidentally was about to drop his phone by reflex. He turns around in her direction to see Olivia behind him.His face had gone pale for a second before he composed himself.“Um…what might you be doing here?” he ends the call without letting her realize then tucked it away in his pockets.Olivia stood with a puzzled face. “Were you talking with someone?”.“Um….kind of.”“Why? Do you need anything?”.“Hm……”.“Do you have time a little?”.“Time for what?”.She gave a bright smile back.“I have something on my mind. Would you like to hear about it?”.“Uh…sure.”“Tell me.”Olivia walked past him and took a seat on the chair. Gray turns to her.“What are you planning to do about the function?”.Gray placed his hands in his pockets, lifting his chin.“I gave in charge of the decorations and all. Why?”.“That’s not it.” she sighs.“Then?”.“Are you planning on letting Lucy go
