Greg's Dreaded Return

Who Is This Man?

''Were you expecting me not to double up when I found out that Lucy, the little Lucy of back then at college had become incredibly wealthier than me?'' Greg asked.

Lucy shook her head.

''How vain can you be? That's not what our friendship is about,'' she said and leaned her back on the wall.

She was sitting on the only chair that was on the balcony.

Of course, Greg left the seat vacant for her to use.

''But Lucy, I'm a man. Besides, you stopped wanting to hear from me. You stopped taking my calls. You of all people. Remember I used to be the one running away from your calls because you were pressing me with your money and connections...'' Greg said and paused to have a laugh.

''Ah! Come on, don't be like that,'' Lucy said and joined Greg in laughing.

Meanwhile, on the other side of the door, Margaret Ban stood, trying to hear what Lucy was talking about with this man.

Who was the man by the way? And since when did Lucy start hanging out with the likes of her somewhat vicious uncle?
