By the time Lucy was done with her work for the day and it was closing hour, she dialed Tom's line to know if he was still very busy and how much longer she would have to wait for him since she could hardly go into his office now when he was most likely in the middle of a meeting. He had mentioned something about having an important meeting with investors at around closing hour, so she knew she would have to wait for a bit. But she wanted to know how long she was going to wait so she could look for ways…-

The car was silent as Harry drove Mia and Jeff to Tom's residence. Each of them was occupied by their own thoughts. While Harry was thinking about Henry Rosewood and how to help Mia make sure he signed the divorce documents without drama, Mia was thinking about her phone call with Henry and her father, and wondering what they planned to do next now that they knew she was alive.

The tension in the room was thick enough to choke on. Mia's voice, barely a whisper, hung in the air as the phone speaker crackled on the other end. The weight of the past and the uncertainty of the future pressed down on her, each heartbeat a drumbeat of anticipation. Jeff, his hand tight on Mia's shoulder, exchanged a worried glance with Harry. A beat of silence stretched into an eternity, punctuated only by Mia's ragged breathing. Then, a voice, colder than the winter wind, cut through the…

Even though Harry was there for serious business, he couldn't help but look around at the apartment he had gotten Tom on short notice for his crazy pursuit of Lucy. Now it seemed like all of that had happened such a long time ago, when it was only three months ago. "I'm sorry to bother you in the middle of the day," Harry said as he focused on Mia, and then shifted his gaze to Jeff as he wondered why they had not answered the call immediately, and why it seemed like there was some sort of tension…

835 The Talk Show (2) "Oh, my God! I can't believe I just told the whole world I was a stripper," she whispered, her voice thick with emotion. Candace considered this, a flicker of hope rekindled in her eyes. Perhaps the shame she'd carried for so long was misplaced. "And they didn't judge you," Andy pointed out, "In fact, Alicia seemed to think it was empowering." Candace considered this, a flicker of hope rekindled in her eyes. Perhaps the shame she'd carried for so long was misplaced.…

834 The Talk Show (1) The plush velvet armchairs sat empty under the stark glare of the studio lights. Anticipation crackled in the air as a hush fell over the audience. The morning's episode of the prestigious Eric Howell Live promised an exclusive. As the cameras rolled, Harry strode onto the stage oozing a confident aura.

833 I Was Desperate After Lucy's conversation with Amy, she returned to the office to join Tom. "So, where were we, Mr CEO?" Lucy asked with a grin. Tom, who had been engrossed in his phone, looked up at her approach and jerked his head towards the door. "I guess she has been informed of the funeral," Tom said and Lucy nodded as she sat on the edge of the desk close to Tom. "Yeah. She is leaving now. By the way, I will be leaving the office by eleven. I need to pay a visit to the factory. I…

832 Team Meeting The insistent trill of the phone sliced through Amy's restless sleep and dream. It wasn't a dream filled with laughter and sunshine, but a restless one haunted by the echoing silence of Miley's absence. She fumbled for the phone, blinking away the remnants of the dream and the dull ache in her chest that had become a constant companion these past four days. "Hello?" she rasped, her voice thick with sleep and grief. "Amy, it's Mom," came her mother's voice, laced with a tremor…
