Lauren walks to the cafeteria. Once she reaches there she looks around searching for two familiar figures. Just then she hears her name being called out.
"Lauren! Here!!" She turns around towards the direction she was called and she saw them, they were waving their hands in the air trying to gain her attention. Once she finds them, she approaches them and takes a seat in a chair beside them.
" I pity you, Lauren. " Noah says with a sad smile on his face.
"But I am angry with you..." Zoey speaks with a pout as she looks up through her eyelashes. Lauren awkwardly smiles at them and look away. She felt much more. "Why can't you control yourself around him, huh?" Zoey says again finding the situation to messed up. Lauren shrugs off unable to answer the question. She couldn't answer that question when she asked herself. Then how would she be able to answer Zoey?
"Guys... can you lend me notes? I have been missing them a lot. " Laurens says trying to avert the questioning atmosphere. Zoey sighs and nods her head. " I will hand you today's and Noah will lend you yesterday's, okay? And about the previous notes take one by one. Or we can help you. " Zoey says looking fumbling inside her bag. She grabs two of the notes and place them on the table and dragging it towards Lauren.
"Here are mine. " Noah does the same. Lauren grabs the notes and places it inside her bag feeling grateful. She then glances up at them with a grateful smile. "Thank you so much, guys. I don't know what I would be if not for you two. " She says making the other two chuckle.
"Uh? What happened to your temples? " Noah questions with furrowed brows as he sees through her hair, finding a glimpse of white bandage. Lauren awkwardly smiles caressing her bandage as they eye her suspiciously and worried.
"Its... uh... I was in the library helping the librarian stock some books on the shelves and got hit by a book. " She says avoiding their gaze. All of a sudden she felt as if she was growing smaller within their gaze. She shifts uncomfortably clearing her throat.
"Shouldn't we head for class?" Lauren questions her glance wavering between them and the cafeteria. "I am making this clear Lauren, you will sit in between us. Got that?" Zoey says pointing at Lauren then back to the space between them. Noah smiles finding Zoey cute. Lauren nods her head fervently.
"Lauren, here have something before going. " Noah says handing her the box with a few slices of pizza which they had left for her. Lauren widens her eyes beaming with happiness as she attacks it.
"T-Thank youuu..." Lauren mumbles with her stuffed mouth. The other two chuckles watching her eat in delight.

"Sir, We have talked with Ms. cal and she is ready to speak for us. When should we call the reporters for a conference?" Jamie says with certainty, causing Ethan's eyes to waver in bewilderment. Jamie stood motionless as she revived no moment or reply from him. She eyed him cautiously anticipating his reply. Ethan blinks his eyes and comes out from his trance. He clears his throat.
"Okay then. Held the conference tomorrow approximately at 11 Am. "
Jamie nods her head walks to her small compartment. She then grabs the telephone and dials to the managing department. The rings go and the call is received.
"The conference will be held tomorrow at 11 am. Prepare for the requirements and I will handle the press. " She ends the call once she conveys the message.

Ding~ Dong~
"I am coming!!" Sarah yells making her way towards the main door. She then grabs the doorknob and opens the door revealing Oliver standing outside with a smile on his face.
"Hey! Oliver!" Sarah says inviting his inside with a welcoming smile on her face. Oliver greets her making his way inside. "How are you? It's been long since we met. " Oliver says taking a seat on the couch.
"Yea, it really has been long. I am fine and you?" She questions standing in front of him. "I am fine." He replies with a smile.
"Do you want a drink? " Sarah questions
"Yes, just a glass of water. " Sarah makes her way to the kitchen and pour a glass of cold water. She heads back and serves him. He grabs the glass and sips it. Sarah then makes her way upstairs. She enters their shared room and saw William reading a newspaper on the couch.
"Honey, Oliver is here. Come downstairs. " Sarah says and William nods his head grabbing the newspaper and walking downstairs along with it.
"Hey! Oliver!!" William greets walking towards Oliver. They hug each other patting each other's back. "How are you, buddy?" Oliver questions with a wide smile on his face. "Just fine, I guess. You?"
"Same goes with me. " Oliver replies with a grin. Sarah chuckles shaking her head as she was accustomed to their behavior making it obvious that they get along well.
Then they all take a seat on the couch.
"How is it going on with the company?" William questions being serious all of a sudden. "He is doing good enough. I feel like they will clear the rumors soon. " Oliver replies nodding his head with his hope to have his assumption be true. William regards his intention with a smile and a nod. Tho he also had the same thoughts about the current situation. Or say they have faith in their children and their capacity.
"I think the same. " William says in approval.
"Let's not talk about the company, kids will handle it. " Sarah says interrupting them. They snap their head to her with furrowed brows. "Then what?" William questions confused over her words.
"I mean to say let's talk about their marriage. " Sarah says grabbing their interest. They nod their head and focus on her. They keep staring at her as if they were anticipating something from her. Sarah frowns taken back by their behavior. She keeps staring at them.
"Aren't you gonna say anything?" Oliver questions feeling stressed by the silence.
Sarah sighs "I said let's talk about their marriage not that I have to say something. " William and Oliver exchange a glance and laugh sheepishly.
"Then? What do you think we should do, honey?" William questions
"I am thinking when should we inform them about marriage. And should we really need to use a contract as Barbara said before?" Sarah pours out her thoughts among them and the other two males ponder over her words. Silence took over them.
"I think we should if they reject the marriage. " Oliver speaks out his thought as he was still considering the thought.
"But I feel bad having to force Ethan to marry. The fact that he may love someone else is eating me up. " William says heaving an exhausted sign making the other two nod their head in agreement.
"But I assure you that doesn't like anyone, I remember telling you that he hates girls?" Oliver says stressing the fact he had said again and again.
"What?!!" Sarah yells making the other two snap their head at her shocked. "Ethan likes b-boys? And why am I knowing this just know?" Sarah continues feeling betrayed and shocked. William and Oliver exchange an amused glance. "Uh..." Oliver was trying to explain to her what they actually meant.
"Actually, Yea... Ethan hates girls. He doesn't even look at them. " William says trying to suppress his laugh and Oliver observes William and Sarah with wide eyes and mouth shut trying to swallow the laugh wanting to erupt out free.
"No!! How the hell did this happen? How can they marry and live happily? It's impossible!!"
She yells standing on her feet as she eyes the two males who tried to keep their laugh inside with a constipated expression. But the lady was completely unaware of their intention.
