Lucy went home that night after the interview was over. It was really a stressful day for her because she stayed there till evening. If it wasn’t for that lady’s advice she could have gone home in the morning but she just hopes it’s worth it . “Who’s there? Is that Lucy?
Bianca and Cherry, who was freaking out inside the house worrying what must have happened to Lucy, immediately ask as they heard a knock outside. “Let’s go check it out, maybe it could be her! Cherry utter in a low whisper tip toeing to the door as Bianca told her to be shut while she went to the kitchen and brought out a wood.
“Why are you bringing this wood Bianca! “Just chilled okay? I’m suspecting the person to be those assassins which had almost come last month. Bianca uttered fearfully as the voice shrugged in but they couldn’t comprehend who owns that voice out of fear. Just go to that side while you open the door and immediately, I’m gonna use this wood and hit the person. Biancr explains as she nods her head. “Okay! One… Two…. Go! Cherry opens the door slowly making Lucy ponder what was happening Inside even before they open the door for her to make her wonder.
“Ahhh it’s me! Lucy screams out on noticing their plans. ” Okay.. okay back then guys! It’s Lucy! Cherry utter as she closed back the door and then stared at Bianca who was panting and grunting helplessly in fear.
“It’s me Bianca! Lucy reminded her as they put her in embrace. ” Thank God you’re here Lucy because we actually thought maybe you got kidnapped! The two of them chorused like some bible verse which they’ve recited.
“Awwwn, you guys shouldn’t have worried. You know the interview was filled with a lot of people and guess what? I think I’m lucky to be among the interviewers so I will just wait patiently tomorrow for the news.

*The next day*
Lucy woke up, took her bath and dressed herself up as she waited patiently for her phone to ring for goodness. Her two friends had found their way to their working zone and she was the only one who was at home at the moment. Just then, her phone rings. Hoping that it was good news, she jumped to the table where the phone was charging at the moment and picked up the call without checking the caller in excitement only to find out it was one of the guys which was disturbing her till now. It was “Tyler”
“Please don’t hang up on me! The guy pleaded over the phone as he found out he wasn’t the person she had expected him to be. ” I have warned you many times to stop disturbing me, haven’t I? I aren’t interested in you, okay? “Okay please just come out, you will see something! The guy uttered as the call came to an end.
Lucy, who was really eager to find out what the guy was talking about, really opened the door and then walked outside. But it was none other thing than him. He actually came to her with his car.
“Surprise! The guy roars out happily hoping she will be surprised just as he had thought but nothing like that actually happened because she was angry at him. How could he just come to her house without letting her know of it?
” Tyler; what’s the meaning of this? What are you doing here huh? Have you come again? Why are you really doing all this? Have you lost your mind? Lucy asks as he walks towards her and then smiles.
“I haven’t lost my mind babe! I really want you and I’m doing all this for you to accept me. I want you in my life. I want you to be my girlfriend, and then… Fiancee and then we will get married.
Lucy burst into laughter immediately as she shook her head in sympathy with him. “Enough of this joke now! I think you can leave! Lucy utter and just then, her phone rings as she picks it up immediately. Her face filled with excitement when she found out that the people calling her were from the interviews yesterday.
*Good day dear! I’m sorry to say this but… Out of the sixth interviewers you were the only one who failed woefully in the question which we have sent and for that, you and one lady were selected for failing our questions woefully. Lucy doesn’t know if she were to cry at the moment or laugh because she doesn’t seem to understand the woman’s speech.
“I’m speechless! Can you please be more specific about this! Lucy asks in curiosity. “Okay! Here we go! Sorry if I was too frank in this ironic speech I was saying, but let me be serious now! You and one girl had been chosen! So come to the company right now and it will be explained and describe to you everything you will be doing.
The caller said before the conversation ended. Lucy jumps up and down in happiness as she smiles, forgetting her sorrow.
“What happened? Why are you smiling? Tyler asks as she spares him a glance. ” Well.. I just got accepted to work in a company! Lucy said in excitement expecting Tyler to be happy for her as well but he didn’t. Instead he was furious and asked why he applied for a job in another company when he had.
“Seriously; can’t you tell me you were in need of a job? I could have given it to you babe why are you doing this to me. Tyler utter angrily on watching Lucy walking out of him.

Stella wakes up the next day only to see herself tied to a tree. “Is there anyone there? Somebody should help me! She utter very scared of the dark which she was in. “Mother please where are you? Come and untie me from this tree please I promise not to betray you again.
She cried out but nobody was around and just then, she felt the scent of a human. A special human for that and it was none other person but the Little girl she always dream off. ” Aaaaaaaah! The little girl screams on seeing her.
