Anna’s next agenda for the day was to convince her husband, David to not give his approval for Luke’s relationship with Ruby. She was quick to be on her feet and look for her husband.
David was in his closet getting ready for the day. He had planned to pay a visit to the company.
"Oh.. you are getting ready. Where are you going?" Anna asked her husband. She did not know his schedules and David made sure of it.
"Just a visit to the company," David said and carried on with his clothes.
Anna waited for a few minutes in silence. David sensed her silence and turned to face her. "What happened? Do you have something to talk about?" He asked her. Anna nodded her head as yes.
"Yes, it is about Luke," Anna said. Sh

Mia will also come," Ruby said, rubbing her dress.Luke squinted his eyes, "That looks like a new dress," he commented and grabbed the juice glass.Ruby sat next to him and proudly said, "It is a new dress. Your dad spoiled me yesterday with some new dresses and accessories."Luke almost spit the juice and Rosa dropped the spoon onto the floor. Neither of them were expecting that from David Sawyer. In fact, they both wanted to confirm it again."You mean, Mr David Sawyer brought you new dresses and accessories?" Rosa tried to cross check Ruby's words. Luke also paid a

“What are you still doing up?” Luke asked Ruby when he saw her come out of her room. Right now, Luke was sitting in the living room and checking the accounts files that Mason had given to him. He had not got any time to check those files during office hours as he was caught up with other work. So, he had brought it home to check after dinner. And that was exactly what he was doing right now. He usually uses his home office to work but he wanted some free space and comfort, so he had chosen to work in the living room after the others went to sleep. Ruby slightly jumped when she heard the voice. She held her chest and felt her heartbeat rapidly, “You scared me.” Luke could not help but chuckle at her expression, “I did not know you are a scaredy cat.” Ruby was annoyed at his comment. She filled her water bottle and came to the living room. She sat beside Luke and said, “I did not know you were a ghost who w

The alarm rang loudly in Gia's room. But she was still being a lazy ass and got out of the bed. Today is her first day of college here and she was warned by her aunt to be punctual. Gia was also assigned to do something else as well. Gia groaned and twisted her body. She peeped out of the blanket and grabbed her phone which was laying on the bedside table. She turned off the alarm and threw her phone on the bed. She took another 5 minutes to sit up on the bed and rub her eyes, trying to wake them up. Gia forced herself to get out of the bed and went to the bathroom. Another hour passed by the time she was showered and got ready for college. She came downstairs to the living room and dropped her bag and entered the dining area. "What's for breakfast?" She asked loudly

"Shall we?" He asked Ruby, who was sitting next to him. As he had promised last night, he was going to drop her to college first and then carry on with his work. Ruby nodded her head, giving her consent.The drive went fairly well. Except for the incident at a traffic signal."You just want to show off that you have a handsome guy drop you to college, right," Luke said. It was an attempt to tease Ruby. But her response was epic.Ruby smirked at him and replied, "If I wanted to show off a handsome face then I would have called Gabriel." Luke shut his mouth and concentrated on driving. Seeing Luke's silence, Ruby tho

Gia angrily entered the classroom. Her nostrils were flaring because of the anger inside her. She was walking mindlessly and that made her bump into a hard surface. She looked up only to see a handsome boy standing in front of her. He was wearing loose jeans and a t-shirt. His hair was styled and he had a cheering gum in his mouth. Anybody could guess he was the bad boy type."I did not see you," Gia said. She was not the kind of person to say sorry to anyone.The boy smirked at her, "That's okay darling." Although Gia did not like his attitude, she did not say anything about it. She was not ready to mess things up in college. She was here for a reason."Are you in this class as well? I am new here," Gia said, faking a smile. The boy smiled at her and replied, "Yup, I am in this class as well. And it's great you hav

Gia sat in the coffee shop near the college. She had called Adam earlier and told him to come to the coffee shop. It was more like she threatened him to ruin his life if he did not show up. She had ordered a cup of coffee for herself. She was sipping off it while she waited for Adam. A tall man entered the coffee shop and looked around, trying to spot someone. His eyes traced most of the shop but he can't seem to find the person. So, he picked up his phone and dialed the number. At the corner seat, he heard the ringing and went there. “Are you the one who called me here?” He asked Gia, who was seated in a position that reflected as if she owned the place. “Are you Adam Rogers?” Gia asked. The man nodded his head, “Yes, that is me.” Gia stared at his appearance and she was beyond disg

Madeleine fixed her hair and exited the restroom. She had taken a quick break to fix herself for the meeting that she has to attend in half an hour. She hummed a song that she had heard somewhere and reached her desk. The telephone rang and she was summoned by her boss, Luke."Sir, you called me?" Madeleine asked as she entered Luke's office. He nodded his head and gave her a sheet of paper. Madeleine went through it and looked up at her boss with a flabbergasted expression."Sir, are you sure this is the step you are going to take?" She asked."I thought I was the boss," Luke said while his eyes fixed on his laptop screen. Madeleine hesitantly asked another question, "Sir, do I have to send an email to all of the mentioned here?"Luke smirked and shook his

In fact, he was the one who would put in extra effort and make sure the contracts went through smoothly. Right now, he is in the process of signing a fresh contract with some new clients. When the client was about to sign the contract, everyone heard a commotion outside the conference room. Since the door was closed, they only heard the muffled voice. Luke turned to Madeleine and signaled her to check what was happening outside. She nodded her head and immediately went towards the door. Before Madeleine could step out and speak, Alan, one of the fired employees, shouted, "Where is Luke Sawyer? We want to talk to him." Madeleine hissed at his voice, "Please low
