“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

Ashley was very angry after getting the information she needed from the workers that she couldn't wait to get to Damian's office and fire Ruby. She couldn't believe the reason Damian turned down Veronica was because of his Secretary. But fortunately for Ruby,she wasn't in her seat when Ashley came in,so she just entered Damian's office instead and slammed the door behind her. “What the hell?!” Damian got scared with the way Ashley entered. He spat out the toothpaste in his mouth and rinsed his mouth. “What are you doing here?” “So it's really true. Judging by how you are just brushing your teeth” “What do you mean?” he asked as he stepped away from the basin in his office. “I heard you slept over at her place. Your Assistant,I mean” “Yes,I did,so why are you angry?” “Why I'm I angry? Really? You are choosing someone like her over McLaren's daughter? What good can she do for you or the Company? She is just a lowlife girl,who was lucky enough to be your Secretary! This wasn

“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
