"There's no use of staying here now, better go to another lawyer and finalize the divorce", said the officer and sat on his chair. Alex was still on cloud nine, he has been given a second chance to fix everything with Cindy. He was ecstatic while on the other hand Cindy didn't move a bit.
She slowly moved to his table and slammed her hands on the table loudly grabbing everyone's attention in the room. She slowly looked up as she uttered, "It's been 8 years, since we got divorced, at least that's what we've been thinking. Does it look like a joke to you!?" Hearing Cindy's roar Alex was brought back to reality, he was no longer having a small party on his mind.
Cindy: Do you even have the slightest idea about our lives!?
Alex quickly moved forward and grabbed Cindy's hand, he got closer to her ears and whispered, "It's no use, let's go or we'll be in trouble".
Alex looked up at the officer who looked scared from Cindy's sudden burst of anger and asked, "What are you going to do about this?"
Officer: He is going to be punished and will compensate all the victims.
He looked straight into his eyes coldly, "Hope the punishment won't be disappointing, officer", and walked away grabbing Cindy's hand.
Cindy: Hey, slow down. What are we gonna do now?
Alex suddenly stopped and looked at her, "We need to go back to Office first, we have taken enough break".
Cindy: Let's go to my place tonight.
Alex jokingly replied, "Are you that eager to spend the night with me right after getting to know I'm still your man?"
Cindy's face turned red from embarrassment, "You're such a pervert! I meant we can discuss there about our divorce".
Alex instantly stopped on his feet making Cindy bump on him, "Why did you stop like this all of sudden!?"
Alex stared at her coldly, "It's been 8 years Cindy, don't you think we should give it a try now that we got one more chance?"

Wearing a beige suit, Isabella walked in with style holding a bouquet of chrysanthemums. She walked to the front desk and asked, "Is Mr. Robinson available?"
When Laura recognized who was standing in front of her, she quickly greeted her, "Hello Miss Lawrence, I'm sorry he isn't available at the moment".
Isabella: I see, when will he be?
Laura: He went out with one of his co-worker, he will be back soon.
Isabella: Oh, alright.
After few seconds of awkward silence, Laura asked with cautiousness, "Would you like to wait in his office?"
Isabella was quick to answer, "Alright, I'll wait there", and walked away.
Laura: Alright...

Melissa walked in her apartment exhausted. She dropped on her bed and released a heavy sigh, "How did he know?" She murmured. She recalled her conversation once again with Matthew as she stared at the dark ceiling.
Matthew: Why was he in China?
Melissa hesitantly replied, "I don't know what you're talking about", and looked away.
Matthew sighed, "Look Mel, I know you love him a lot, but that guy doesn't even give a damn about you, ok? Remember he didn't even stop you when you walked away alright?"
Melissa nodded, "I know, There's nothing between us".
