If you are complaining about this little task I gave you,then how will you deal with bigger tasks when you are no longer an intern?

“If making a decision is hard for you,do you want me to give you some time?” Mathew asked and rested his back on his seat. “Actually… I'll” Ruby was interrupted by the loud bang made by the door. They all turned their heads towards the door and Damian stormed in. Ruby eyes locked with his immediately when he entered. He looked away from Ruby and glared at Mathew. “How dare you call my secretary into your office? What business do you have with her,huh?” “Oh,relax Mr President,we were just having fun here” Mathew smirked. “You can do whatever you want but don't you ever call her again. You think you can get her on your side? You think you can use her to spy on me? Dream on, okay? Dream. Unfortunately for you,I don't hire betrayals and greedy people like you. Mess with her again and I'll make sure to gift you something you will never forget!”he said angrily. “Well, looks like we are done here Miss Ruby. I don't want your boss to cause a huge scene.

For a moment, everyone in the restaurant thought the guy had fainted, because the blow sent him flying and falling on tables behind him before his body fell to the ground, making a loud thud. “I thought I died. Oh my goodness!” the guy groaned and everyone except Damian sighed in relief. As much as Ruby was satisfied that he got what he deserved,she couldn't imagine what would happen if the man had died. Damian's face would be all over the internet. “Here is my email address,you can give it to your manager” Damian wrote down his email address and handed it over to a waiter nearby “Round up the cost of damages and send it to me. I'll wire the money immediately” he said “and call the police, I'll like to logde a complaint. This pervert was harassing my Secretary” “You are just a Secretary at the end of the day, didn't you say you were here with your boyfriend?” The pervert said and smirked. Ruby looked away immediately,as she felt Damian’s gaze on her. She didn't call Damian her boyfr

He felt his throat very dry when he woke up,so he got out of bed immediately and left his room. He was so thirsty that he didn't even notice Ashley, who was in the dining room being served breakfast by a maid. He just went straight to open the fridge and took out a bottled water which he gulped down very fast “You must be very thirsty” Ashley's voice startled him and he flinched. “Oh my goodness! You scared me!” “Excuse us. I'll do the rest” Ashley said to the maid and she obeyed. “You came home very late yesterday. Why?” “Because you told me to get Ruby on our side. Mathew called her into his office yesterday,but don't worry,she turned down his offer” he said. Though Ruby hasn't given Mathew a reply,Damian believed she was going to turn him down. “Great,” Ashley said and began to eat. “I know you are trying to make sure everything is going well” Damian said and moved closer to Ashley. “But I really don't like to be questioned like this. I'm not a fool,and I will never forget t

“Here,you need to sign these documents” Ruby said to Damian on a Monday morning and placed some files on the desk. He groaned in exhaustion. For the first time in his life,he went to a club the previous night and now, he couldn't even get rid of his hangover properly because he needed to be at work too. “Oh my goodness,I feel very tired,” he said as he took the files from her. “Tired?Did you work all night yesterday?” Ruby asked with concern. “Work?” Damian asked and chuckled “I look like someone who doesn't do anything apart from work? I was in a club drinking all night” “Oh,then I see why you are tired. It happens when you don't have enough time to rest after going to a club” she smiled softly “If you will excuse me sir” she said and left his office. After working for some minutes on the documents Ruby gave him earlier,he suddenly felt the urge to use the restroom,so he left his work to answer nature’s call. He found a hangover drink on his desk when he got back from the res

“Who would have thought a whole McLaren would request to see me?” Ashley said as she entered the VIP spot in a restaurant McLaren had told her to come. “I never knew that myself” McLaren replied and chuckled “Wine?” He asked and without waiting for an answer,he poured her a drink. “Let's get straight into business. Why did you want to see me Mr McLaren?What do you mean when you said I can get 15% oc your shares?" Ashley demanded answers. “To talk business of course. What else do you expect?And relax,we are getting to that" He took a long sip from his wine. “Mrs Stevenson” he called “Yes?” “You are in a pickle aren't you?” “Pickle? What do you mean by pickle?” “Though your son is now the President of your husband's Company,I can still see in your eyes that you aren't relaxed yet. You are probably still thinking Mathew wouldn't let him be and will still do anything to get rid of him, isn't it?” Ashley exhaled and looked away from McLaren,like she didn't want him to continue rea

“Mr Stevenson?” Her eyes widened in shock when she realised that the man she had just bumped into was Damian. “What are you doing here?” He asked as he assisted her to get up “and…” he looked at her clothes. “Oh,I just went to the club over there to have fun and now I'm going home” she replied and adjusted her dress. “You are bleeding. We should get that treated now” Damian said and pointed to her bleeding knee. “I will take care of it when I get home” she said, hoping Damian would let her take care of it. It was already embarrassing that he saw her in a revealing cloth, going to a pharmacy with him would be so much torture for her “No, it might leave a scar if you don't treat it as soon as possible” Damian insisted and grabbed her hand before she could protest again He took her to a nearby pharmacy where he got meth, cotton wool and bandages. He let her sit on a chair outside of the pharmacy where he cleaned up the wound for her. Ruby kept staring at him as he was cleaning
