"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

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

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?

“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

For a moment, everyone in the restaurant thought the guy had fainted, because the blow sent him flying and falling on tables behind him before his body fell to the ground, making a loud thud. “I thought I died. Oh my goodness!” the guy groaned and everyone except Damian sighed in relief. As much as Ruby was satisfied that he got what he deserved,she couldn't imagine what would happen if the man had died. Damian's face would be all over the internet. “Here is my email address,you can give it to your manager” Damian wrote down his email address and handed it over to a waiter nearby “Round up the cost of damages and send it to me. I'll wire the money immediately” he said “and call the police, I'll like to logde a complaint. This pervert was harassing my Secretary” “You are just a Secretary at the end of the day, didn't you say you were here with your boyfriend?” The pervert said and smirked. Ruby looked away immediately,as she felt Damian’s gaze on her. She didn't call Damian her boyfr

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
