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

The news of Damian turning down Veronica on their blind date was no longer a secret. How it circulated around the public was something no one could give an explanation to. Angrily, Veronica closed her laptop after reading the comments under the news. People were mocking her for being rejected. She was a beautiful lady whose shoulders were always up and though people don't say it,it was always obvious that they were jealous of her. The news of Damian turning her down was satisfying for people who didn't like her.“I'm very sorry ma,I'm trying my best to bring it down on the internet” her Secretary quickly apologised when she saw how infuriated she was.“It's fine. Everyone would think it's true if we bring it down” She closed her eyes “They should all wait till our marriage would be announced. No one can turn me down”. The door of her office opened and the sound of someone chuckling and clapping disrupted the silence in the room.“Do you have an appointment? You can't be here i

'`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

“If you will excuse me then” Ruby quickly collected the jacket from Damian and rushed out of the office. “I heard you like someone” Veronica said as she approached Damian who was returning back to his seat. “Is she the one? I saw the way you were looking at her” She placed her bag on Damian's desk and folded her arms across her chest. “Obviously you did and that is how I would have looked at you if you were my assistant that needed help” Damian said. He dared not give Veronica clues that the woman he liked was Ruby. It would be a bad thing for Ruby. “True. What was I thinking? That you would choose someone like her over me?” She scoffed “I guess I might as well be your Assistant for you to be nice to me” She said,her voice barely above a whisper. “Yes. Because she is better than you are” Damian replied inwardly “Why are you here?” “I'm here to tell you that you are free to like anyone and have sex with them if you want,but don't ever think we are not getting married because you re

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
