Lucy was still contemplating on whether to go over to Tom's apartment or wait for him to come over to hers when he knocked on her door. She looked down at the oversized black t-shirt she was wearing over her leggings and decided she looked decent enough before opening the door. Tom took in her appearance in one glance and his lips twitched in amusement when he noticed she had tied her hair on a ponytail once again and was back to wearing her glasses, "I hope I can get used to both versions of you…-

Bryan unlocked his phone and noticed he had several missed calls from his manager and Mia, but ignored those as he opened his Instagram app and went to his page to check out his tags. He saw the pictures Sonia had tagged him to and then groaned when he realized why Mia had picked out a yellow t-shirt. He was trying to end things with Sonia not wear matching outfits. Why was Sonia coming to see him all of a sudden after staying under the radar for some days? What was she trying to do? Was this some sort…

After eating, Bryan returned to bed and dozed off while waiting for Sonia's editor to contact him. He slept soundly for some hours until the insistent sound of his ringing phone roused him from his midday slumber. He placed his pillow over his head to block off the sound, but each time the call ended, the phone started ringing again, until he had no other choice but to reach for it to see the identity of the person who was bent on disturbing his sleep. "Are you calling to tell me you have found her?"…

Lucy shut down her laptop when she finished working few minutes to closing hour and picked up the documents she needed to return to her secretary. She knew she could easily call her secretary over to pick them up, but she needed to be sure the staff in her unit were all doing their job and not slacking off simply because she was not around to monitor them. She stopped outside the office door when she heard the conversations going on inside. "Do you think perhaps the boss likes her? I mean she just…

An hour before the close of work Lucy raised her head from the laptop in front of her when her phone rang out. She picked it up and her lips curved in a smile when she saw the call was from Sonia. She had been holding back from calling Sonia since she felt she was disturbing her a lot lately, especially as she knew Sonia was busy writing a new story and didn't need to be distracted, even though Sonia would never complain. "Hey!" Lucy greeted fondly as she stretched her legs under the desk. "Guess…

Bryan's eyes felt really heavy when he opened them and saw that it was mid-day already. He had binge-read Sonia's novel until past 6 AM, and now he wanted nothing more than to sleep all day. He reluctantly stood up from the bed, remembering that he was going to call the publishers of Sonia's novels. After cleaning up, he picked up his phone and dialed the publisher's number which was written on the novel, he didn't have to wait for too long, as the call connected on the sixth ring. "Hello! Mason…

Tom had an amused smile on his face as he watched her eat, "Do you like your new office?" "Sure. I honestly don't care about the office though, since I spend most of my time looking at documents and not at the office," Lucy said, looking around the office with disinterest. "Is there a reason you love working so hard? Like maybe you want a big promotion?" Tom asked curiously. "What promotion could be bigger than this? I should take Mr. Harry's job? or the CEO's office?" Lucy asked with an amused…

Harry raised his eyes from the document in front of him and looked at Lucy who just walked into his office. "He won't be coming in today," He said, in response to her unspoken question. While watching her closely. He had to admit that she looked more pretty wearing her hair down and without her glasses. "Oh! So what am I to do?" Lucy asked, feeling very relieved that she didn't have to face a boss she knew was likely going to be difficult. It wasn't like she wasn't curious to know what he looked…

Lucy who was sitting in the front seat of the car with him, tried to refrain herself from speaking, but after a few minutes she gave up the struggle, "What sort of a person are you?" "Me?" Tom asked, pretending like he had no idea what she wanted to talk about. "I'm sure we are just two in the car," Lucy aid irritably. "It's possible you were speaking to yourself out loud. I noticed you tend to voice your thoughts a lot," Tom said, turning to look at her with a straight face, even though he was…

Lucy woke up with a start once she remembered she was resuming at her boss' office that morning, and she quickly glanced at her bedside clock to make sure she hadn't missed the sound of her alarm. Thankfully she was up early, and it wasn't even six yet. She sat up and picked up her phone which was on top of the bedside drawer. Tom had said the boss loved communicating via texts and emails, so maybe it was best she made it a habit checking her mails now. Her heart skipped a beat when she saw a text…
