Worthless In Their Eyes, Perfect In His Chapter 108
The date soon came to an end. We spoke about a couple of other things and I noticed Adrian glancing at me. Anytime I turned in his direction, he pretended like he wasn't looking at me and looked away. I felt irritated. I wanted to flash at him and tell him to stop staring at me. It was getting really annoying at the moment.He stood up and walked towards my table. My heartbeat quickened and I was shocked at why he was coming closer. Malcolm turned towards him.Adrian stretched out his hand for a handshake with Malcolm. “I'm one of the business partners at your company. I didn't think you would recognize me.”“Oh, Adrian… It's great to see you. I almost forgot that you were the one.”Adrian smiled, then he turned to me. “Hello ma'am. I hope you're enjoying your time here.”I forced a smile and replied to him with one word. “Yes,”He returned to his seat and I noticed him wink at me. I almost puked. How disgusting. Did that bastard just wink at me? I was sure that he was never intereste

There was a slice of chocolate cake on the plate. But that wasn't all. There was also something on the plate that made my heart beat faster. There were words written with icing on the side of the cake. I read them and my heart beat a bit faster. “Will you be my girlfriend?”“Malcolm?” I muttered as I narrowed my eyes at him. “What is this, Malcolm?”He took a deep breath and faced me. “Ruby, I know we've had our differences. I know it was a contract agreement, but now I'm asking you to start over for real without a contract binding us. Will you be my girlfriend and grow with me?”I nearly spat out the water I was drinking. I was too stunned to think of a proper response to give. It meant Sandra's guess wasn't wrong at all. Sandra had already predicted that he wanted to ask me out. I opened my mouth to say something, but no words came out. I was lost for what to say.Malcolm kept looking at me. Creases had formed around his forehead. I wondered if he was already thinking that I wouldn'

I felt uneasy that very moment. Why exactly was he looking at me that way? Was there something on my face or was it something about my dress? I didn't know. His mouth was even wide.He closed his mouth and smiled. He stood up and held my hands. “Ruby, you look stunning. The dress suits you perfectly.”I smiled. “Thank you.”Gosh. He almost gave me a heart attack. Was it because of how beautiful I looked that he kept looking at me like that.“I'm sorry to keep you waiting.”“Not at all. It's my pleasure to be kept waiting. A beautiful angel needs all the time to get dressed.”I almost blushed, but tried hard to suppress it. Malcolm had his way of playing around with words and just giving me butterflies in my belly.I was very curious about what he wanted to tell me this evening and I remembered what Sandra said and wondered if it was true. Well, I was about to find out. He stretched out his elbow and I placed my hand in it.Sandra waved at me from the corner where she stood and I waved

I returned to sitting on the sofa and I still had my sketchbook in my hand. I sat cross-legged and placed the sketchbook on my thighs as I drew. I made a drawing of a living room scenery, although I didn't draw it exactly to look like Sandra's living room. I still added some similar things like the flower by the side and the television.I kept the sketchbook aside on the chair and in a short while, I felt my eyes flutter. I was feeling sleepy and I couldn't help myself. Maybe it was because I kept waking up in the night to check my father's message that I didn't get any sleep at all. I yawned. I felt really sleepy. I still had to keep the dinner with Malcolm at mind and I hoped I wouldn't oversleep and pass the time.Who cares? Even if I overslept, Malcolm was the one who offended me and he was the one meant to stay up to wait for me to arrive. I rolled my eyes at the thought of it and yawned again. A thought that I didn't know could resurface actually did.An image of Adrian popped u

I walked to the box and pulled it closer to myself while I sat at the edge of the bed. I looked at the canvas which was placed at the corner. It was the mixed media piece that I had submitted for the art competition that had caught Marilyn's attention. I couldn't help but stare at it. That seemingly simple art was about to open huge doors for me.I looked away and focused on the box. I opened it and brought out a sketchbook and some pencils. I was just going to draw something while I was waiting for evening to approach. I couldn't blame myself for looking forward to the date. It meant that I hadn't fully gotten over Malcolm. In fact, I hadn't gotten over him at all. The thought of that made my cheeks redden and I tried to suppress the blush.Malcolm wasn't a bad person. He really wasn't. I had stayed with him during the contract period and he hadn't treated me badly. It was only when he initially proposed that I stopped working when he felt it wasn't safe, but he later apologized for

I woke up again in the middle of the night and checked my phone to see if I had gotten any message. There was nothing. I felt nervous. Was my father playing some kind of prank on me? He couldn't just send such a message and leave me feeling unsettled about it. At least there had to be a follow up, that explained things about it. I contemplated once again if I should ask, but later changed my mind.I slept off and when I woke up, it was the next morning. I saw a message from my workplace that said the gallery wouldn't be open today. I felt sort of relieved. Even though art was my dream, I still felt sort of tired from working at the gallery.I crashed back into bed and Sandra returned from the kitchen and met me still lying in bed. She glanced at the wall clock.“It's 9 am, wouldn't you go to work.”“Work is cancelled for today. The gallery isn't opening.”Sandra didn't say anything. She left the room and returned later with two mugs of coffee. She handed one to me and I thanked her. I

Ruby's POVAfter the man left, I wanted to hope that it wasn't June that was in the bathroom. She looked too sassy and strong-willed to tolerate such nonsense from anyone.I walked towards the toilet and met her crying while seated on the floor. She didn't notice me until I touched her back to comf

Ruby's POVI felt slightly relieved as I got off the call with Sandra. She had promised to make herself available so she could join in the shopping.Sandra was sharp-mouthed, and I'm sure she could give June a good warning if she tried her crazy attitude with her.“I'm at your gate.” Sandra texted

Ruby's POV I didn't know where I got the boldness from, but I ignored her and stood up from the table since I was already done eating.“Thank you, Malcolm,” I appreciated, before proceeding to clear the empty plates.She looked at me rudely, and I'm sure she was upset that I brushed off her questi

Ruby's POV I sank into the soft mattress, still trying to embrace the reality that I was now married. Even though it was a one year contract, the thrill of it refused to leave my chest.I never envisaged my marriage to be one without a proposal, engagement, and wedding invitations and walking down
