Chapter 31
Damian couldn't believe there was someone on earth who would be wicked enough to contaminate elderly people's food with a deadly chemical. All because of what? “Let's go to the hospital where they are all admitted. We are paying for their surgeries” “You look so tired” Ruby said because ever since Damian heard the result,he became down. “We can go tomorrow or I'll go alone,you should rest” she suggested. “Rest? People are dying and they need to be saved as soon as possible. Though the chemical wasn't from the Company,those people believe it is a fault from us. I'll drive if you are too tired” he said and took the car key away from Ruby. “No,I'll drive instead “ she snatched the key back from him and headed outside before him. She also felt sad about the discovery they made but she was sure Damian would be feeling more sad than she was. He was the CEO and if those people die eventually,he is going to be the centre of public resentment. She would just be a Secretary in the end. S

The security men at the hospital quickly rushed in and tried to stop Damian,but he didn't let go of the man. He totally ignored the voices that were calling him crazy. “Call the police,then I'll release him. This bastard is a murderer and he deserves to rot in jail for what he did”. “Do you have evidence to prove what I said? Let me go now before the police comes else everyone will see you as a crazy young man” “How about you let the police come first and see what will happen? Worry about yourself and not me” When the police finally came,Damian handed the man over to the police and explained what had happened. He also gave them the recordings he made just in case the man wanted to deny it like how every criminal does in movies. “Are you happy now that my husband has been taken away? He has a daughter who can't wait to open her eyes and see her parents again! What am I supposed to do now that her father has been taken away?” The wife asked Damian with her hatred for him obvious.

“How did you know he was the one responsible for all this?” Ruby asked Damian as she drove back to their hotel after the man had been taken away by the police. “I overheard him talking to his wife and I made a recording in case he was going to deny it” he exhaled and closed his eyes “But I know he didn't do it on his own. Someone made him do it” “Someone who has enough money to pay for his daughter's surgery and would gain a lot when the public is against you” Ruby said. “Exactly. But he refused to say who the person was and claimed he did it on his own” he said “but I'm sure it is Mathew” he muttered to himself. “Oh, before I forget. One of the Grandmas at the hospital invited us for dinner at her place. She wants to show her appreciation for helping her husband” “Okay” that was all Damian said before he slept off. When Ruby got to the hotel garage and saw that he was still sleeping,she decided to remain in the car and let him sleep instead of waking him. At first,she decided t

Ruby groaned loudly when she woke up. Her head was banging so much that it felt like it would explode. “Oh my goodness!” She exclaimed as she held her head in her hand. Then it dawned on her that she wasn't in her hotel room and even if Damian had transported her back home,the place doesn't look like her house. She tried sitting up,but then,she felt a masculine hand grasping her waist. Its grip was firm and possessive. “What did fuck did I do last night? I didn't sleep with some stranger, right?” She asked herself inwardly and she turned her head slowly to see who was beside her. Her eyes widened in shock when she saw it was Damian. “Holy shit!” She exclaimed and began to try her best in releasing herself from his grip. After a lot of attempts,she was finally free and she ran out of the room immediately. “You have woken up? I'm making you a hangover stew right now” an elderly woman said and Ruby smiled as she moved closer to the woman calmly. “Can I ask you a question please?” “

Ruby began to pack her things when they got back to their suite. Damian had told her they would be returning to the city the next day since they were done with what they came to do and there were a lot of things he needed to attend to at the company. She gasped all of a sudden and stopped folding her clothes as the fragments of what had happened when she was drunk began to come together. She was already told she kissed Damian,so she was glad she didn't remember it herself but now that everything was coming back to her memory,she realised Damian kissed her back when she kissed him. She began to search the bed for her phone because she was dying to tell someone what she remembered. After three attempts of calling her sister,she gave up and decided to call the friend college gave her. Grace. Back in college,the two of them were very close and told eachother everything,but after college, they rarely saw each other and just talked on the phone and that reduced the connection they had in

Chapter 36
Ruby stood outside the hotel,her eyes fixed on the departing car till it disappeared into the distance. Though she claimed she doesn't like her boss and whatever kiss they shared was a mistake,she still felt jealous. She felt like a bride who was abandoned on the altar for another woman. With a heavy sigh, she spun on her heels and went to the hotel bar. She had nothing to do in the suite so instead of just staying there alone,she would rather go drinking. “Can I get a drink, please? A strong one” she said to the bartender. As she sipped her drink,her eyes narrowed replaying what she saw. She couldn't believe her boss who was always all over her, claiming he likes her would just leave her alone like that and follow a woman who he claimed wasn't his fiancée. “Liar!” she said and tightened her grip on her glass “Can I buy you a drink?” A voice said and she turned to look at him. Well he was good looking so maybe spending a night with him will make her stop thinking about her

“Is this the time to make him feel what I felt?” Ruby asked herself as she made eye contact with Damian. “Do you know him?” Mark asked when he saw how Damian was staring at them. “Oh,yes he is my boss' ' Ruby said and looked away from Damian. “Thank you so much for this. I'll use it well” she smiled broadly at him “Oh, there is something on your clothes' ' she said intentionally and removed the invisible thing on Mark's cloth. “Thank you” Mark smiled at her “Have a great night” he said and left her. When Damian saw that Mark was gone,he strode towards Ruby before she could try to enter the house. “Who was that?” He asked immediately when he was standing in front of her. “Oh,him? He is a friend sir” Ruby said intentionally so that Damian wouldn't suspect she was trying to make him jealous. “A friend? I see you have a new neighbour” he said as he watched Mark enter his apartment. “Why are you here sir? Shouldn't you be resting?” “Get dressed. You are buying me my dinner tonigh

Chapter 38
Spending her Sunday evening eating dinner with Damian made Ruby laugh softly as she got ready for work. A part of her was happy she would be seeing Damian again at work. As she was applying her make-up,her phone rang and she picked the call on the first dial. It was Damian. “Come to my place. I need your help with something here. We will go to work together” his voice was cold and that made Ruby wonder what was wrong with him. “Okay sir” she said and Damian ended the call. She quickly put some finishing touches to her makeup and before leaving the house, hailed a cab to Damian’s house instead of taking her own car. When she got to the house,the front gate was opened for her and she entered. She sat down and patiently waited for Damian to come downstairs. “Would you like some tea?” His maid asked her. “No, thank you,” she replied politely. Finally after minutes of waiting,Damian was done dressing up and he came downstairs. As he walked down the stairs,Ruby couldn't help but to

“I'm so sorry Ruby. I didn't know things would turn out this way” Grace apologised,her voice barely above a whisper. “It's fine. I'll do my best to sought it out” “I have an idea” Grace said and Ruby turned to her to hear the so-called idea she had. “You said your boss likes you, right. Why don't you ask him to do you the favour of coming with you? He definitely will agree if he actually likes you” “You are definitely out of your mind. And besides,that might put me in trouble with his supposed fiancée. She is scary” Ruby said, recalling how possessive Veronica was everytime she sees her with Damian. “If he says he doesn't like that woman,then believe him and go for what you want. I trust myself when it comes to matters like this” Unlike Ruby who always tries her best to stay away from things that would cause trouble for her,no matter how much she likes or wants that thing,Grace was the opposite. She was daring and would always go for what she wanted. “Thank you for your idea,

Chapter 40
The next weekend came faster than she expected,so she had to go on the trip since she wasn't able to come up with a better excuse. “Yes,I don't have a boyfriend! Is there something wrong with it?” She practised the reply she was going to give anyone who tried to talk down on her as she put her things inside her car trunk. After about two hours of driving,she got to the hotel they would be staying in Montauk for the weekend,she became happy when she saw Grace at the hotel lobby. “Hey! Finally you are here” Grace said and hugged her “Where is everyone else?” “I don't know. I haven't seen anyone since I came too. I guess we are the early birds” Ruby nodded as balanced her box well. “So I was thinking” she began to say “Can we room together? To cut cost” She suggested to Grace. “Room together? Definitely not” “Why?” Ruby asked and grabbed Grace’s hand. “Because you are not staying in your room alone. I got you covered” Grace said and tucked her hair behind her ears, waiting
