THE HEIR Chapter 8
“But then, where on earth is Javier?” Ruby asked herself randomly as she dressed up for work. “Oh shit! I'm running late!” She exclaimed immediately as her eyes wandered to the wall clock. Knowing fully well that Damian wasn't very nice to her, getting to work late was a way to ask for trouble. She immediately put some finishing touches to her outfit and grabbed her car keys. She decided to be a good secretary and get coffee on her way for Damian. Maybe, just maybe, it would melt his heart. “Hi, can I get an Americano to take away please?” She placed her order after entering a coffee shop closer to the company. She wore a smile immediately as she entered the office lobby, and she smiled at everyone who greeted her. She hastened her pace when she caught a glimpse of Damian waiting for the elevator. She was glad that he also came late to work, so she wouldn't be scolded. By the time she got to the elevator, it was about to close, but she was fast enough to stop it with her leg,

While getting ready to leave the office, Damian's phone rang in his chest pocket. It was Thomas calling him. Damian couldn't help but wonder why he was calling. “Good evening Thomas” he said when the call was connected. “Good evening Mr Stevenson. If I may ask,are you still in the office?” “Yes,why? Is everything fine?” He asked with concern “So tomorrow is Mrs Ashley's birthday and I think it would be a good idea to get her a birthday gift. The real Damian gets her one every year. This year shouldn't be an exemption, don't you think?” “Oh! I didn't even know her birthday is tomorrow. Do you have any suggestions on what she would like?” “I'll leave you to decide that. Goodnight sir” he said and ended the call, leaving Damian to think on his own. Damian grabbed his things and left the office. “See you tomorrow” He said to Ruby who was expecting him to give her some rude attitude. He didn't even wait for her reply and just left. “Drive to any Chanel store around” he instructed t

"Why are you here?” He asked curiously as he got out of his car. “I called Thomas, and I was told you weren't at home yet, so I decided to wait for you out here”, Ruby said, and walked closer to him. “That still doesn't answer my question”, he folded his arms across his chest and waited for her to speak. “When I became your Assistant, I was told to assist you in areas you find difficulty and to also put you through, but I don't think there will ever be a chance for me to work properly if I don't address this particular issue” She paused briefly to be sure he was still with her. “You are being too harsh on me that your sight scares me. I understand that our first meeting wasn't so great, but that doesn't mean I'm incapable or dumb!” “Okay….?”. “It is either you stop being harsh on me or I quit! You don't even try to see the good side of me. All you do is to complain and vent. Now Mr Stevenson, if you really want me to remain your Assistant, I would advise you to do something about

"You got this for me?" Ashley asked, feeling very emotional."Do you like it? Happy birthday, Ashley. I'm so grateful for meeting someone as good as you". Damian hugged and consoled her."Thank you, Damian. I really wasn't expecting anything from you. How did you know about my birthday?""Well, Thanks to Thomas. I would have gotten something better if it wasn't last minute" he said smiled at her."Something better? This is good enough" she said and admired the bag"Now, you should get going to work, okay? We can have a mini-party with Thomas later."--------------Memories of the previous night flooded his memory when he saw Ruby in the office. Talking to Ashley about Mathew's threat made him totally forget about Ruby's proposal to him. Not like he really needed to think before making a decision, he already knew what he wanted.“Good morning Mr Stevenson” Ruby greeted him politely, yet the coldness in her voice couldn't be missed.“Good morning. What do I have on my schedule today?” He

Damian was enjoying his warm bath in his bathtub,when a man wearing black hoodie and trousers carefully entered, obviously trying not to make any sound. He stood In front of Damian's Bathtub in a very creepy way,and when Damian finally sensed that there was someone else in the bathroom with him,he flung his eyes open. “Who the fuck are you?” He yelled and tried to stand up but the man overpowered him before he could. He covered his mouth to prevent him from shouting,and before Damian could grasp what was going on,he felt something cold on his neck and then there was blood. The man then moved away from him while Damian held his neck in pain and fought for his life. The man's phone rang and he took it out from his back pocket. “Don't worry Mr Mathew,I'm almost done with him” he said and the call ended. “Please…..I….d.don’t want..t..to die” Damian pleaded in pain as tears fell from his eyes. The hotel's phone rang in the room and the man left the bathroom to answer the call,then he

You did a good job today” “Thank you baby girl. Show me one” She sai

“Hey intern!” The office manager for Research and development in Damian's Company called out,and a female intern rushed to him. “Yes sir” “You said you studied business, right?” “Yes,” The intern replied. “Good. Why don't you do this one thing for me?My son has no time to do assignments since he is doing some part time jobs” he said and brought out a big book. “Sir,I have to send the ….” “Send whatever you want to send and do the assignment too” the manager interrupted her “Wait,are you complaining? 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? Huh?You should be grateful I'm teaching you how to multitask!” he yelled at her and she flinched “You this little bitch” he said,his voice barely above a whisper. “I'm sorry sir. I'll work overnight” “Is this how you treat interns? Manager….” Damian said and everyone in the office jumped out of their seats nervously. “Manager Santos?” Damian completed

“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. I hope you consider what I said” Ma
