View MoreThe waiting area outside the executive suite was sleek and silent. Ruby took a seat among the other candidates, trying to keep her hands from trembling. She had barely been sitting five minutes when the office door burst open and a woman stumbled out, sobbing, clutching a crumpled file to her chest as she bolted for the elevator."Oh, he's a mean one," murmured the young man beside her. "I heard he fired his last assistant just because she looked at him the wrong way.""Who's mean?""Luciano Morelli." His voice dropped lower.Ruby's brow furrowed. "If he's so horrible, then why are you here?"“The pay's good. If I'm going to work for a monster, the salary might as well be worth it. Same reason you're here, I'm guessing."Ruby didn't answer. She was thinking about the woman who'd fled in tears, the last three assistants who'd quit within a month, Lorenzo's mocking words about the CEO being brutal. What kind of man makes someone cry in under ten minutes? And what kind of woman willingly
Ruby was still wrestling with the broken strap of her heel when Mr. Garrison's shadow fell across the lobby floor. She froze, fingers tangled in fraying leather and muttered a curse. She had been dodging her landlord for a solid week, but luck had finally run out."Miss Costa." His voice carried the weariness of a man who'd been avoiding this conversation as much as she had. "I've been trying to catch you."She straightened, abandoning the shoe. "Mr. Garrison. I know what you're going to say, but…""Let me guess. Your employer hasn't paid you yet. Payroll problem. Check's in the mail. Did I miss any?"She bit her lip. Those were three of her prepared excuses. "I lost my job. I know that doesn't change what I owe, but I'm looking for work. I just need a little more time.""Three days. That's what you get. Either the rent is paid in full by Friday or I’ll throw you away."She forced a smile that felt like it might crack her face. "Understood. I won't let you down."He grunted something
The morning light filtered through the office windows with that particular shade of gray that promised rain by afternoon. Ruby sat at her desk, fingers hovering motionless above the keyboard, her untouched coffee growing cold beside her elbow. The computer screen had long since dimmed into its screensaver, but she hadn't noticed.Her mind was elsewhere. It had been elsewhere since last night.The stranger's hands. The heat of his mouth on her throat. The way her body had responded before her mind could intervene as if it had been waiting years for permission to feel. She had spent so long believing she was incapable of desire and a single encounter with a man whose face she never saw had shattered that illusion.“What is wrong with me? I should be devastated about Lorenzo. Instead, I can't stop thinking about a man I don't even know.”Her phone buzzed. Bianca again.Ruby stared at the name flashing across the screen. The twentieth call since midnight.She silenced the call and turned
Bianca's apartment was almost dark when Ruby pushed through the front door, her chest still heaving from tears she'd shed in the car. She had driven across the city on autopilot, her mind replaying the scene in Lorenzo's penthouse on an endless, torturous loop. She found Bianca curled up on the couch with a mug of tea. The moment Bianca saw her face, she was on her feet. "Ruby? What happened?"The gentleness in her voice was the final blow. Ruby's knees buckled and Bianca caught her, guiding her to the couch and wrapping her arms tight around Ruby's shaking shoulders."He proposed. But not to me. It was for Noemi."Bianca's face cycled through shock, disbelief, then rage. "Your sister Noemi? Tell me everything."Ruby told her everything. Bianca's voice trembled with fury. "I'm going to kill both of them. Tell me you slapped him.""I slapped him.""Good. But why did you put up with it for so long? Three years and he never made you a priority."The question sat heavy in Ruby's chest.
