Lucy tossed and turned on her bed all night as she thought about how to go about things with Tom. Was she making the right decision? Would Tom really let her be once she finally did it with him? How was she going to tell him about her decision? When she eventually fell asleep that night she dreamt of Tom all through the night. She woke up very late the next morning and hurriedly ran into the bathroom to brush her mouth. In her haste, she turned the basin tap handle too quickly and it broke, causing the…-

Bryan lay on one end of his bed facing the ceiling, while Sonia lay on the other end facing the wall as she slept comfortably. Bryan turned in her direction when he heard the soft snores coming from her direction. She was really asleep? How could she barge into his life and his bedroom this way? Earlier on she had rearranged his closet and drawers so she could make space for her stuff. After trying to sleep to no avail, he got out of bed and picked up a hoodie sweater which he wore over his t-shirt and…

"Seriously? You mean your brother is interested in Sonia's best friend?" Matt asked in a whisper as they continued eating while Sonia was in the room talking to Lucy. "Yeah. So I need you to help me find out all you can about her best friend," Bryan said, and Matt grinned. "Are you sure you can get rid of Sonia? From the way I see it, if your brother ends up getting married to her best friend, you might have to see her every time you show up at your brother's place," Matt said with a cheerful smile…

Immediately Tom left, Lucy shut the door and walked over to the couch where she collapsed. She lay there with her eyes closed as she thought of Tom. What was she going to do about him? Perhaps she should do as Lucas had suggested? Maybe if she were to have sex with him and let him become her first lover he would stop hounding her this way? Lucy sighed and sat up after a while. She was startled when she heard the doorbell ring again and stood up almost immediately. Was he back? Did he leave something? Or…

"So, how was work today?" Tom asked Lucy as he drove them home later that evening. "It was okay," Lucy said with a shrug as she looked outside the car's window. "Did you eventually meet the CEO today?" Tom asked, turning to spare her a glance, but her face was turned away from him, so he couldn't see it. She had been so eager to talk to him about what she thought of the CEO earlier, but right now she didn't see any reason to do that, "Yes, I did." "And what do you think about him now that you…

Bryan was standing outside the guest bedroom which Sonia was using with his hand raised mid-air as though he was trying to knock. Ever since Sonia disappeared inside the bedroom after she had her breakfast she was yet to come out, and it was almost 5 PM already. Was that how she worked? Or was she sleeping? He wondered. Not that he liked her anyway, but even her unwelcome presence was presence too, and better than the absence and loneliness in the house. He had tried keeping himself busy with one of her…

Once Tom returned to his office he dialed Harry's line and asked him to meet him in his office at once. The first thing Harry noticed when he walked into the office was Lucy's absence, and the next was the frown on Tom's face, "Did you send your assistant out?" The crease on Tom's brow deepened, "Lucy? No. Why?" Tom asked curiously. "I'm just surprised that she isn't on her seat. You know she hardly leaves her office, so I was just wondering where she went to. Anyway, why did you send for me?"…

Lucy checked her wristwatch impatiently for the third time as she waited for Tom to show up with her lunch. She thought about giving him a call to find out what was keeping him but remembered that she didn't even have his phone number. How could she call him her friend when she didn't have his number? She made a mental note to exchange numbers with him when he brings her lunch. It wasn't like she couldn't go down to get her own lunch, but somehow her mind was becoming programmed to expect him to deliver…

Once Lucy walked out of Tom's office she heaved a deep sigh of relief as she collapsed into her seat. She just realized one thing. Calling the CEO a weirdo didn't cut it at all. That was a very big understatement. As a matter of fact, she now believed that calling him a weirdo seemed like a very big compliment for someone like him. He was worse than a weirdo. Why had he called her into his office if he had no intention of saying a word to her? She had just stood there like a statue, staring down at her…

After his conversation with Bryan, Tom decided to leave his costume for later, since he didn't want to go through the stress of wearing it now and taking it off later to go get lunch for Lucy, and then wearing it again. He had thought of asking Harry to send someone to deliver lunch to Lucy on his behalf, but he had decided against that since it would not only stir suspicion among the staff but would also defeat the purpose of the whole thing. It wouldn't make sense if Harry was to ask one of the staff…
