“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
In the morning,the sunlight reflected through the bus window, casting a faint glow on Ruby's face. Her eyes slowly opened as she raised her hand to shield her face from it.“Can you close the windows?” She asked as she wiped her face but she got no reply,so she staggered out of bed to close the window entirely and also put down the curtains “That woke me up” she said to herself. She made her way to the mini fridge in the bus and took out a bottle of water. She felt so thirsty and gulped the water immediately. It was when she wanted to return back to bed that she saw Damian, whose hands were now placed on the side of the bed she stood up from.“Huh? What am I doing here?” She asked herself out of shock. Then the memories of how she struggled to go into Damian's bus the previous night despite how drunk she was flooded her mind.“Oh my goodness! I need to get out of here before anyone sees me” she said and began to grab her things in a hurry.“Are you just going to leave like that? W
As soon as they were told to start,the two teams began the search. At first the game was fair and the teams were both able to follow the red signs until Nathan and Veronica were lucky enough to be ahead of Damian and Ruby.“What are you doing?” Veronica asked cluelessly as she watched Nathan erase the red marks.“We might be ahead now,but they can meet up with us anytime soon,I need to make sure we win no matter what”“So lame” Veronica said and hissed “This was your plan all along? To erase the marks?”“Yes and we are going to win with the so called lame plan”“Do whatever you want. I don't expect you to be as desperate as I am. We have different goals” she said and continued following the marks which Nathan kept erasing as they passed by it. Ruby and Damian kept walking in the path the last mark they saw led them to and they were beginning to think something was wrong but none of them said anything about it and kept hoping they would find one soon. Until they got to a route wit
The rain became heavier as Damian had guessed,but the two weren't really bothered about it because they were both having the best time of their life playing and romancing each other in the rain. Later in the evening,when it was getting close to night the rain began to reduce, making it possible for them to walk under it since staying there when it was dark could be dangerous. Everyone except Nathan was really worried about them when there was no sight of them while Veronica was just worried about Damian. It would be one of the happiest things that has ever happened to her if Ruby got hurt,so she wasn't concerned about her.“If anything should happen to Damian,then I'll kill you for real” she threatened Nathan as she paced up and down in his bus.“Instead of worrying about someone who is probably having the best time of his life with his girlfriend,why don't you enjoy yourself too? With me”“You're crazy if you think I'll warm your bed twice” she hissed. Then the sudden noise from
“He needs to go to a hospital as soon as possible” the nurse they employed for the trip said as she examined Damian in her tent. “He has a high temperature too”“The Ambulance is on its way. It will just take a long time for it to get here” Ruby said, trying hard to calm down.“Well,I will do everything I can do for now. You don't have to worry too much” she assured.“Thank you” she said as she held Damian's hand tightly struggling not to cry.“You need to rest too. You were both in the rain for a long time”“Then can I rest beside him? I can't leave him alone here”“Oh,are you two in a relationship?” The nurse asked and Ruby nodded positively.“But no one knows, it's a secret”“Then you can. I'll make sure no one enters” the nurse assured her and Ruby laid down beside Damian with her arms around him. They were finally able to stop the fire,but the bus was totally burnt. They were all still in shock about the fact that one of them could have died during the trip if not for her ankl
The room door opened and Esther and some other three employees Damian had never seen before entered with a fruit basket in Esther’s hand.“Mr Stevenson!” Esther exclaimed in excitement when she saw he was awake. “We were really worried about you” she said and went to drop the fruit basket beside the one Ashley had brought earlier.“We thought Miss Ruby would be here and we would just drop this instead of waking you up” an employee said.“That's really thoughtful of you all. Thank you very much” Damian said and smiled broadly at them “If you are ever tired of the hospital food, you can always call me. My mom runs a restaurant” Another person said and went to sit on the couch to make herself comfortable.“Thank you very much….” “Harper” the lady told him her name.“Thank you very much Harper” he repeated and this time with her name included. Damian thought they would soon leave since they were all always shy around him,but when he saw that none of them was leaving. He became bother
Ruby still wore the same outfit she wore to the hospital with Damian which he noticed and instructed her to go home and freshen up. Convincing her to leave was a bit difficult for him because she was defiant. She kept insisting she couldn't leave him alone in the hospital,and it was when Damian called Thomas to come down to the hospital that she finally left.“Has your so-called girlfriend come to visit you at all?” Thomas asked as he helped Damian to wear his jacket because he wanted to go out to catch fresh air.“What if she hasn't?”“Then it shows she doesn't actually care. It's time for you to discard unnecessary people and do what Mrs Stevenson wants. You agreed to do everything as her son before she saved you”“I’m doing everything as her son. Do you know how difficult it is for me to call someone else my mom? But I still always call her that. I'm very sure her son would never agree to an arranged marriage If he is smart and knows what he wants”“Don't talk about the late youn
Melissa walked into Sky Tower View on a Saturday morning, expecting to visit her sister Ruby as planned. With the lock combinations memorised, she let herself in, only to be surprised by a scene she wasn't expecting. Ruby and a man were fast asleep on the couch, cuddled in each other's arms. Melissa's bag slipped from her hand and it fell on the floor. She knew Ruby as a single woman, and she always tells her everytime she met someone new. Melissa composed herself, picked up her bag and took a seat on a nearby couch to wait for the couple to wake. She knew it was creepy to watch them that way,but she did it anyway. She kept tapping her foot on the floor as it took them eternity to wake up. Finally, Damian's eyes fluttered open, locking with Melissa's gaze. He let out a startled yelp and jumped out of the couch, fear etched on his face. It was just him and Ruby in the house last night so how did a stranger enter?Ruby was woken up by Damian's scream,and also let out a terrified cr
