Veronica gazed intensely at the picture of Damian and the unknown woman that Ashley had sent her, but she wasn't convinced. She felt that Ashley was missing something. She called her secretary through the intercom, and within a minute, her secretary was in her office. "Can you show me the picture of Mr. Stevenson with his unknown girlfriend that was trending on their company website?" she asked. "It's been taken down, but fortunately, I saved it," her secretary replied. "You saved it? Why?" Veronica asked, leaning forward on her desk, her eyes fixed intently on her secretary. "Because I knew you would ask for it one day," her secretary replied, and Veronica nodded in approval. She had known her secretary long enough to know that she would anticipate her requests, and whenever she couldn't fulfil them in the past, Veronica would become upset. "Good thinking," she said, stretching out her hand. "Let me see." She took her secretary's phone and compared the pictures. The difference w

Ruby had spent the whole weekend at Damian's place. She slept in his room and of course the two of them made love every chance they got.“Should I go over to his place today?” Ruby asked herself as she couldn't forget the loving moments they shared together How she woke up on Sunday in his shirt to make him breakfast. Damian had gone to the kitchen to help her,but in the end he became a total distraction because he couldn't keep his hands to himself. He kept caressing and kissing her which Ruby also loved so much. She giggled loudly as she remembered everything and an adorable pink crept on her cheeks as she was lost in her thoughts reminiscing everything that happened between them during the weekend. She began to search her desk for anything that could give her a reason to go inside his office. She smiled broadly when she saw a document she should have submitted to him last week and sprang out of her seat. Her heart raced in anticipation as she walked towards his office. She

The eviction notice hanging on her door caught Ruby's attention in the morning when she was about to go for work. She picked up the paper and saw that she had a month to move out.“Is she crazy? What the hell is this?” Ruby asked herself and angrily,she tore the paper. She was distracted by the sound of the landlady clearing her throat and obviously trying to avoid her.“Good thing you came just in time. What do you mean by having a month to leave?”“I'm very sorry Ruby,but that is what the new owner of the building wants. She wants you especially to be out of her building. I don't know what is going on between you two, but there's nothing I can do” the landlady said and Ruby wondered who her enemy was. But she just couldn't figure it out.“Who is the new owner? Give me her phone number now” she demanded. Suddenly,a car screeched to a halt in front of her, splashing water on her and she gasped as she looked at her soaked outfit. The driver's door swung open and Veronica got out of i

Ashley's gaze was fixed on Ruby as she walked closer to them. She has a frown that indicates she doesn't like what she has seen.“I asked you what you were doing?” She asked again,her tone firm.“She is just fixing my tie Ashley. You shouldn't read into it” Damian intervened before Ruby could talk. Ashley narrowed her eyes,her gaze still lingering on Ruby,“I'm not trying to be rude to her,but I'll appreciate it if you do your tie yourself. There was once a rumour about you two,I don't want to hear another one. Anyone could have seen you two and misinterpreted the situation”“I'm sorry ma’am” Ruby said, daring not to look at Ashley’s face. Ashley's expression softened slightly and she turned to Damian.“Why are you here by the way?”“Because I'm joining the meeting. I need to be updated about the plans for the 40th anniversary. I just came to check in you first”“Well,we are going for the meeting too” Damian said and began to walk towards the elevator.—--“We need to come up wit

“She moved?” Veronica scoffed after her Secretary had told her Ruby had moved from her apartment “Where does she stay now?” She asked as she rested her back in her seat and folded her arms across her chest.“She moved to Skyview towers ma’am”“There's no way she could afford that place. Damian definitely paid for it” she muttered to herself “You can go” she said to her Secretary. She hated the fact that she couldn't make Ruby homeless but at the same time,a part of her was happy that she didn't move into Damian's house. That would have infuriated more.“I'll make sure to get you to kneel before me!” She said and clenched her fist —------ It has been weeks since Ruby moved into Skyview towers and the place was everything she has always wanted. Luckily for her,her neighbours were Frank and Wendy, and they have been nice to her since they came back from their honeymoon. The D-day for the Company's trip finally came.

“To make the trip fun and competitive,we have a lot of games planned out for this trip” the anchor said and everyone clapped happily. “One of the things we will be doing first is the treasure hunt. Look around you,you will see there are differences in the tent, right” he said and gave everyone time to study the difference in the tent. The one with a ‘Number one’ tag was a camping bus that has a comfortable chair and table with lots of refreshments placed outside of it just like the camping bus set aside for the executives, while the one with a ‘Number Two’ tag was just a tent bigger than the rest and it also has a table and a chair outside but without refreshments. The number three was smaller and the hierarchy of the kept going down until it got to the last number which was a sleeping bag. “It will suck to get a sleeping bag” Esther said and Ruby nodded in agreement. “I can't imagine it” “Now,the number tag each group gets will be the tent you will be getting. Now divide you

“What team are you from?” Rita asked Esther as they lay on their bed. ”Research and Development team” “Oh. And you are the CEO'S Secretary” she said to Ruby and she nodded. Unlike the rest who are so chatty,Ruby wanted all of them to sleep as soon as possible so that she could sneak out,but it seemed like the darker the night became,the more energetic they were. She got out of bed when she couldn't wait for them anymore. “Are you going out?” Taylor asked her and everyone stared at her. “Yes…actually,it feels so stuffy in here so I'm just going to go for a walk for a few minutes,or hours…it depends “ she stuttered. “Yeah,you are right. Should we go together?” Vanessa asked and began to remove the bedsheet covering her body. “Wait!” Ruby screamed and startled everyone and that got her a questioning look from them all. “You are acting weird,” Rita said. “Actually…I like to walk alone” “Then we will be behind you and not interrupt you. You are a lady,and walking alone can
