Damian's eyes widened in confusion as he witnessed the intimate scene before him. His mind raced with questions. Why was Veronica, his supposed girlfriend, embracing his enemy, Nathan? What was the nature of their relationship that allowed such a display of affection? He cleared his throat loudly, announcing his presence, and Veronica sprang away from Nathan, her haste only fueling Damian's suspicions. "I came to check on you," Damian said, feigning nonchalance, and his tone was neutral. "I'm exhausted and think I need to head home and rest." Veronica's response was laced with nervousness, her words tumbling out in a rush. "Yes, of course, let's go. I'm done here." She swiftly intertwined her arms with Damian's, her gaze avoiding Nathan's as they bid him a hasty goodnight. As they departed, Nathan's eyes lingered on the pair, his expression sceptical. "Are they truly in a relationship?" he muttered to himself, his voice barely audible, his eyes narrowing as he adjusted his suit. So

"Let's pay the President a visit," Mathew said to his Secretary, his voice firm and decisive. With a swift gesture, the Secretary pressed the button for the tenth floor, their destination. As the elevator doors slid open and Mathew stepped out of it,his presence commanding and authoritative,Ruby's eyes widened in surprise, her heart racing with anticipation. She sprang to her feet, her mind racing with questions. What did Mathew want? Why had he come to the tenth floor unannounced? She wasn't new to the fact that Mathew’s presence around Damian was never a good news and meeting him with Damian’s current situation was a bad idea “How can I help you sir?” she asked politely.“The President is in his office right? I need to see him”“The President?” Ruby asked as she thought of the best thing to say that would make him leave.“Yes,the President,” Mathew said with an irritated expression.“He is in but actually you will need an appointment. That is what he said, everyone needs an appoint

"Texas?" Ruby asked, incredulous. "Out of the blue, you dropped this bombshell on me?" Damian had just arrived at work and that was the first thing he said to her. Damian, freshly arrived at work, seemed unfazed. "Matthew called me on my way here. He needs me to convince a rancher in Texas to sell his property to our company." Ruby's eyes narrowed. "And why am I tagging along?" Damian sighed, rubbing the bridge of his nose. "Because, Ruby, I'm still getting accustomed to being back, and I can't do everything on my own yet. You're my secretary, and I need your support, isn't that your work here?" He asked rudely. Ruby's confusion persisted. "A ranch? What do we need a ranch for?" Damian's patience wore thin. "I don't know, Ruby! According to Matthew, it's a deal he's been trying to close before I returned, and now the rancher insists on meeting our new president which is me before finalising the sale. Now no more questions,we are leaving tomorrow” “Tomorrow?’ Ruby eyes widened in

“Damian?” She called out in surprise, unable to believe he was actually standing in front of her room. The shirt of his pyjamas were unbuttoned revealing the nice view of his body that she has so much missed “Do you need something?” She asked him but there was no reply. He just stood there,his face downwards with his hair covering his face which scared Ruby a bit. She has never seen him that way when they were dating so she had no idea of what was going on. Then something clicked on her head, something she hoped it wasn't. Sleepwalking! She has slept with him a lot of times and he has never sleepwalk. But then,it began to make sense,he probably sleptwalked to the pool and slept off there. “How come he told no one?” She asked with concern. “I want to sleep" he said,his voice barely above a whisper and raised his head to reveal his widely opened eyes. She immediately went to her bed and took her phone to record him so that he wouldn't think she was the one who brought him to her ro

As Damian cuddled with Veronica, his gaze drifted to the bathroom slippers Ruby had given him. He suddenly felt the need to return them to Ruby immediately since she would also need them. "I need to step out for a minute," he told Veronica, who lifted her head from his chest, curiosity in her eyes as she watched him get out of bed. "Where are you off to? Do you want me to come along?" she asked, her voice laced with a hint of suspicion,her gaze still not leaving him Damian tried to sound nonchalant. "I just need to return some slippers to my secretary, Ruby. She might need them." Veronica's eyes narrowed, her gaze fixed on the pink slippers. "I'll take care of it," she said, her tone firm, as she got out of bed and pointed at the slippers. "Is that the one?" Damian's heart skipped a beat, realizing that Veronica might question Ruby of why her slippers were with him. His sleepwalking was to be a secret and Veronica might pressure Ruby into telling her. "Ah, yeah, that's the one,"
