'`Do you want everyone to see you as a lout?’ Mathew's voice stopped Nathan as he made another attempt to punch Damian ``Apologise to the President now!” He said authoritatively. “But Dad…” “I'm not your father when we are at work! How many times should I tell you that? Now apologise!” Nathan clenched his fist in anger and bowed his head in shame. “I'm sorry sir” he said as he bowed,but Damian just walked out on him. “I'll kill that bastard!’ Nathan yelled inwardly. “I'm sorry you all had to see that” Mathew apologised to the directors that were with him in the elevator. Nathan managed to keep his anger to himself till the directors got out of the elevator. “Why would you make me apologise to that bastard? I was only trying to defend you!” “Those directors are the most stupid people I have ever known.They might switch sides because they believe you are nothing but a troublemaker. You should behave better in other’s presence. No matter how provoked you are'' —------- Ashle

Damian kept stopping Ruby from helping out and insisted his driver and him would do the work,but when Ruby insisted,he let her carry stuff that weren't heavy through out the time they moved Javier's property. “If you don't mind,I'll make tea for you both” Ruby offered and Damian checked his wristwatch. “No, it's fine. We need to be on our way before the rain becomes heavier” “Thank you very much for today then. I really appreciate it” Ruby said and Damian smiled. She waved at them as they both walked out of her house. The first thing Damian did when he got back into the car was to sneeze because he had been trying hard to suppress it,so that Ruby wouldn't be worried he caught a cold. “Why aren't you driving?” He asked after noticing that the car just remained on a spot for minutes. “I have been trying to start the car sir,but it's not starting. I don't know what is going on” “What do you mean it's not starting?” “I'll try again” the driver said and tried to start the car aga

“Am I in a movie? Or is he practising his lines with me?” Ruby asked herself inwardly. She stiffened. If that was a confession,then she was taken back by how sudden it was. Since when did Damian Stevenson fell in love with her? There was nothing special that might make him fall in love about her. And even her heart was racing in a usual way but she wasn't still believing it was her liking Damian. “I think you need to rest sir” she broke the silence lingering in the atmosphere and ignored the weird feeling she had. "You must have said that because of your tiredness" “I just told you I want to make you my woman. Is that all you could say? I just made a confession” he asked and Ruby hiccuped again. “I'll pretend I didn't hear this sir,and I hope you won't put me in a tight spot by saying something like this again next time. I'll appreciate it if you don't use me to get on your mom’s nerves” Ruby said and the elevator door opened “I'll leave first,then” she excused herself and got o

Ruby remained in her seat and kept sipping the wine Damian had ordered. Though he told her to order food too,but she didn't. “He wants me to be his woman? When he has a fiancée? That liar”She scoffed loudly. For some reason,she found herself being jealous of Veronica. She was sure she didn't have any feelings towards him,or she made herself believe that,but her heart was unnecessarily aching. After taking her time to enjoy the wine,she went to pay the bills,tipped the waiter that attended to them earlier, and left the restaurant. Her heart dropped in disappointment when she saw there was no sight of Damian and she would have to go back to the office alone. She stopped a cab that took her back to the Company. “Is it really true? I heard you are dating Mr Stevenson. I thought we were friends before you became his Assistant. So why didn't you tell me? Esther,who was Ruby’s coworker before she was made the CEO'S Assistant, asked as soon as she sighted Ruby. “Because it isn't true,” R

“What is the issue, please?” Damian asked when he got to them. “The thing is…I…actually” Ruby stuttered. “You forgot to make reservations?” He asked calmly but deep down he hoped what he had just asked wasn't true. If it was, where would they sleep then? And the car wasn't the best option. “It's not like that sir. She only booked a room with us” The attendant came to Ruby's rescue. Ruby could feel Damian's eyes were on her,but she refused to look at him. Now he would see her as an incompetent person who doesn't put her mind to whatever she is doing. “Is any room still available?” “Unfortunately, there's no room” The attendant replied politely and Damian sighed heavily. “It's fine then. We will stay in the room” he said and this time Ruby looked at him. She couldn't imagine sleeping in the same room with Damian, not especially when he made a confession. Even if Damian doesn't feel awkward about it,then what about her? “Do you have another solution?” Damian asked when he sa
