LUCYMy temples pulsed with a throbbing ache as I navigated through the bustling airport with my two energetic kids in tow. Jay, the mischievous nine-year-old, bounded ahead, his eyes filled with wonder at the vast expanse of the terminal. Vicky, my seven-year-old son, trailed behind, his eyes alight with curiosity.As we made our way to the departure gate, my headache intensified. I desperately needed a moment of respite from the constant clamor surrounding me. However, my hope for a peaceful moment evaporated when I noticed Vicky engrossed in a flirtatious exchange with a little girl around Jay's age.Vicky had always been precocious, his charm radiating effortlessly. It wasn't uncommon for him to capture the attention of those around him. But this time, his innocent attempts at flirting seemed to irk the girl's father, who stood nearby, his brows furrowed in mild irritation.I quickened my pace, gently coaxing Vicky away from his newfound friend. "Come on, sweetheart. Let's not bot

LUCY As soon as I sat on my seat, I plugged in my earphones and closed my eyes. Jay and Vicky sat in the back, as Vicky wants a window seat and Jay doesn't like strangers.I tried to sleep but I can't just sleep anytime and anywhere unless it's night and I'm home.At one point, I gave up and sat straight, removing my earphones. I was confused when I saw Jay glaring at the man beside me and blushed, realizing who he was.He is the hottie from before. And also the pervert who catcalled me. Argh. I don't like him.''Jay, are you okay?'' He still looks angry.''Yeah mom, he is just being an Idiot'' He said, glaring at the pervert.It's nothing new to me. Jay just doesn't have a filter and speaks his mind. Still, this attitude will bring him nothing but trouble.''Jay! This is not how you speak to elders. What did I tell you?''''Give respect to elders'' he muttered, looking down. I hate seeing him like that.Though he looks arrogant and rude, I know he won't snap at others without any re

LUCY"So you came all the way from New York to just quit?" Nat asked, raising her right eyebrow. Oh, how I wish I could do it.We are currently in my room. I'm unpacking my clothes and Nat is sitting on my bed and eating my chips. I too want to eat, but If I start eating chips, I can't stop and I have so much unpacking to do.So, back to her question, yes, I resigned.After my little staring contest with the Electric green eyes guy, I realized that he couldn't see me and he was just looking at the building before he took off.I mailed my registration to my boss after I got home. Though I got an earful of scoldings, he respected my decision and, since I'd not officially started working here, it was easy."Yes, now tell me, do you know anything about Moretti's?" I asked while arranging my closet.Nat started choking hard. I immediately went to the kitchen and brought water for her."Are you OK?" I asked, sitting beside her."W-Why are you asking about them?" She asked while placing my c

LUCY ''I-I'm.. uh. I'm so-" No wait! Why the hell am I trying to apologize? He deserves it! "Umm.. y-you shouldn't do that!! It's inappropriate. Don't ever ki-kiss anyone without their consent'' I said and ran away for the second time.This time I used that private elevator because, for one, no one could see my flustered face and two, I may never get this chance again. This time I know I'm going to get fired. I groaned and stomped my foot.I went directly to Mr. Agosti's office and took leave, saying that I'd complete my work at home. He agreed as it's just 3hrs and tomorrow is Saturday.I packed all my stuff and kept it in the corner of my desk. Well, if I'm going to get fired, at least I should be prepared. Right?I took my phone and messaged Lia.Me : I'm going home. I'll explain everything later. Do you remember the school timing? Pick up Vicky and Jay on your way home. Tomorrow I'll tell Gemma to prepare your favorite Chicken Casserole.😁Nat : And don't forget to buy a choco c

LUCY''Umm.. You there?'' I asked, waving my hand in front of her face.She blinked a few times before composing herself.''Why do you want to know about them? Is it because they are your company's rivals?''''No, it has nothing to do with the company, it's more complicated. Actually, why don't you have my number? It's too late now, give me a call when you are free!'' I said, giving her my card.She looked hesitant, but took it with a nod.''Thanks for the ride Lucy''''No problem''....''Who do you think is best?'' Mr. Hottie asked, placing some pictures on his desk.''We need to select one of them for our new product, I'm counting on you.'' He went back to signing his files after pushing them towards me.I sat in front of him and went through the pictures. There are some new and some are top models.After going through their social media accounts and some websites, I selected a new model. She is 5.8ft tall, blonde and has light green eyes.Her name is Elvira D'Oro and I think sh
