MasukRUBYI never expected I would get something from our date. Well, I meant physical things, not merely happines and comfort.But I should have anticipated this as I was dating a billionaire, whom money is never a problem for. Even dating him in the past got something, either flowers, a little souvenir or a little jewelry once he lied to me was a fake--it was before I knew the real of Wyatt. And as his wife, the gifts increased, almost every month.I smelled the boquet of red roses in my hands. After the jewelry store, we visited a florist and bought a big boquet of red roses from it. Wyatt specifically requested all had to be red roses because red would scream my name. Ruby.I only rolled my eyes, but accepted whatever he gave to me. I love roses, though, especially the ones coming from him."They say women prefer jewelry above anything." Wyatt commented next to me. We were on his car, heading home with Ron was driving for us. "But you seem to like the flowers more." He added.I inhaled
WYATTOf course, I remember.How could I forget such an important day when I found her attractive and click to be more than friend? I always thought about the possibility, even though she might have interpreted it differently. She thought we were just friends. Meanwhile I considered those times as the time to get to know her better.But, whatever. The result was the same, anyway. She is mine, then and now.Ruby stopped in her tracks, looking at me sharply. "You were teasing me." She threw the accusation, huffing.I snickered because it was true. I wanted to see her reaction when I forgot such an important day. Perhaps, I would try to put my acting out for forgetting our first anniversay. "Are you really mad at me?" I repeated my question.However, she spun around and resumed his steps, forcing me to follow her. "No.""I spotted your horns before." It was fun to tease her, so I kept going."I don't have horns." The reply came out as sharp as her gaze earlier."Then what am I seeing?" I
RUBY"I love that. Let's go for a city walk."I couldn't stop the excitement from coming out through my voice answering Wyatt's invitation. He asked me out, which had been a long time just for two of us going out. We hadn't had Austin back then, so every day felt like a date. Now that, Austin is present, quality time means Wyatt, Austin, and me. So yes, I was excited about this.I was waiting for Wyatt in my store. Lately, I had been busy preparing my store for my leave, which only a week ahead.Why rushing?It was a crucial time, so we had to work as a team to face Foster. That meant we better sticked together than being apart."Are you sure you want to go a date with me? You seem to be preoccupied with your book."I quickly lowered my book and met Wyatt's clear blue eyes in a snap. A smile then crept onto my face as I welcomed him. "I'm bored waiting for you."He acted surprised then looked around. "I think you couldn't have been bored at this time."I followed his gaze and found my
WYATTA week later, I went to nearby town to meet Alex Foster.Yes. I agreed to meet him after learning what his intention was. He offered a reconciliation, which I found odd. I should have been the one do that, shouldn't I?"Have you ordered?" Alex asked after some time of greetings. Even as the one initiated this meeting, he was late."Let's straight to the point. I have many things to work on." I replied shortly, my voice was firm.Alex swallowed as he adjusted his position. "Can you stop it, Wyatt?"A few days had passed since I launched the first move, so the damage was escalating by now. Not only their subsidiaries were affected. It was spreading to the main company, striking down their stocks."What do you mean?" I acted innocent, although everyone knew I was the one behind all their misery.His expression darkened. "You know exactly what I mean." He gritted his teeth.I sniggered. "I just enlighten the public.""It will destroy my company if you keep doing that." He tried to m
WYATTThe next days went like a blurr. I was dealing with my works and Foster, ensuring every details matched our plan. Or if not, we would react immediately so that our plan was still going with no or little detour.As for Ruby, she was working with the store as I heard more customers were coming, which double-folded their sellings. It forced to speed up the hiring process so she had five more staff now. Then she was overloking their training process of the new recruitment as well as the old staff because they would have new role attached to them.She was thriving so nothing to be worried.Then, our son. Austin requested to go to the school so we had Ruby drop him off and Mom would pick him up at lunch. After that, Mom and Dad would take over for watching him--they insisted so we let them."Boss." Ron called, drawing my attention from my laptop. "Alex Foster's secretary just called me."A frown instantly appeared on my forehead. "What does he want?"Ron shook his head. "She didn't st
RUBYHow could I forget that we were not alone and there were spectators in my house?Of course, they would witness and what I got was a teasing.From Mom."Look, Austin. Don't you see they're so lovely hugging like that?"I froze the moment those words escaped her lips. Okay. Wyatt had declared our relationship and we had done this in the past. Still, it gave me an effect like it was my first time, like I fell in love with Wyatt for the first time.I withdrew myself to face them, still having Wyatt's arm on my shoulder. Mom was smiling with a teasing look. Meanwhile, Dad only flashed a quiet smile.What about my son?Austin paused to look at Wyatt and me before rushing in our direction. "I want to be hugged, too." But he already had his arms wrapping around our legs.Wyatt snickered then lowered his body and hugged him in crouching position."Mommy, too." Still, Austin asked for me with pleading eyes.Thus, I did the same, and now we had Austin's arms wrapping around our necks."He's
