Ruby's POV

The rest of the day at the museum went fine. Andrew showed me a few more things after lunch. How to handle the loaned pieces when they came in. Where to store the packaging materials. How to fill in the condition report for each item before it got logged into the system. It was all straightforward and I picked it up quickly.

It was a quiet, normal day where nothing went wrong and nobody said anything mean to me, not even my wolf and I just did my work and went home.

I did not think ab

  • 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 POV “Please sit.” Malcolm added, motioning to the swivel chair opposite him.I lowered myself to the chair, my knees slightly knocking against each other. My palm rested against the desk.He cleared his throat faintly and began.“There are no surprises here. You already know the main thing,

    Ruby's POVI doubted if I could sleep through the night. Since I and Sandra left the meeting, my mind had been unsettled. While I sat in a corner of the house, wondering what my tomorrow's punishment would be, Sandra was the exact opposite of me.She twirled around in the room, clutching her contra
