Chapter 317 - Crying for their lost friends... (1/2)

This arced Reuben's interest and he threw daggers at Veronica who was going on blabbering about that so called handsome actor. His jealousy increased and he freaked out, ”Stop saying other man's name in front of me. I'm much more handsome than your so called hollywood actor..”

Veronica looked at Reuben like she had seen some alien and asked, ”What do you mean by we can't discuss about any other man in front of you guys? We definitely can..”

Neil leaned back on the chair and said leisurely, ”He didn't mean all of us. Reuben meant to say that only you can not speak about other men in front of him but Lucy or Amy can..”

Reuben threw daggers at him by his eyes but before he could retort back at him, Henry growled at him, ”Even Lucy also can't praise other men… Yeah, but Amy can..”

Neil and Jack's smile turned into a smirk as they shared an understanding look with each other while Amy burnt in anger and jealousy, seeing Henry being so overprotective about Lucinda...

Veronica and Lucinda just stared at them being puzzled with the sudden change of conversations but ignored it later completely...

Reuben and Veronica started bickering with each other more and more by each passing day while Henry and Lucinda's closeness also grew stronger, making Amelia more insecure while Neil, Jack, Louis and Andrew remained same…all protective about the girls...

----

After another five years…

Two people left from the group which was a huge shock for everyone.

Andrew's sudden death was a big shock to everyone, specially for Reuben and Veronica who were the most close to him.

After Andrew's death, both Mr. and Mrs. Jones also shifted to another country with Amelia as city S was filled with Andrew's memory which was really unbearable for them..

First few months were really difficult for everyone as Jack also left the country for his higher studies. Lucinda also tried to distant herself from everyone and no one knew the actual reason behind it...

Reuben, Neil and Henry became busy with their work as the new responsibilities of being the CEOs of their own companies had been a lot for them to handle…

Whereas Lucinda and Veronica were busy in their own courses and Willa also had came into the picture till then.

This was not which they had expected at all. So Reuben thought to bring everything back to it's place as he really couldn't see his friends in grief, crying for their lost friends...

He was also very much hurt but his heart ached more whenever he would see his happy pill, the always smiling Vero was becoming silent day by day..

So he decided to talk with Lucinda and Veronica for the betterment of their whole group...

”Lucy.. Tell me what had happened that you're distancing yourself from us?” Reuben asked as he had called Lucinda to meet him in his office and now they were sitting alone in Reuben's cabin.

”Nothing bro. You are just thinking too much..” Lucinda replied.

Sighing deeply, Reuben said ”Fine.. I'll not pressurise you too much. But whenever you think of sharing anything, just call me...okay?”
