She stopped trying to grab her papers and just looked at Matthew.
Matthew felt more and more uncomfortable as Lucy watched him. He finally gave up and handed the papers back to her with a sad look in his eyes.
He really just wanted his wife to spend more time with him. Why was it so hard? Lucy took the papers and dove back into her work, not noticing Matthew feeling lonely next to her.
Could Matthew be upset with his wife? No way!
He could not be mad at her! She was his wife, and he was supposed to adore her no matter what. What about the big ball of frustration inside him that he could not let out, though? What was he to do about it?
Quietly, Matthew pulled out his notebook and started planning. He called Kent and asked, "Did you do what I told you to?"
Kent answered quickly, "Yes."
"Then let's finish this up," Matthew said without showing any emotion.
He put away his silly side and turned serious and tough, just like a top businessman should.

Just when Timothy thought he could relax, he got hit with more bad news. The shareholder with 20% was selling their shares. At this rate, Lucas Corporation would have to change their name because it would not really be the Lucases' anymore.
Timothy's head was spinning. He called his dad in a total panic to tell him what was happening. His dad was so mad he even broke his teacup "What's going on? Timothy, have you gotten yourself into trouble again?" he yelled.
Timothy tried to explain, but he could no get his words out. He had not really gotten into any trouble lately. Well, unless he counted Lucy and...
Timothy's sudden silence tipped off his dad that something was up. "Is this about Mr. Leon again? Didn't I tell you to go and apologize to him yourself?"
Timothy gritted his teeth.
