“Sir… why my age? Single or not?” Madeleine stuttered. She was shocked to hear those words from her boss. Luke chuckled realizing her dilemma, "I think I know a guy that might be suitable for you." Madeleine felt embarrassed for assuming things, "Sorry sir." "So what is your age? And single or not?" Luke asked as switched on his computer. And sent a quick text message to Leo, telling him that he is back in his office. "I am 25 and I am single. Have been single since I joined the company," she answered. Luke raised his brows, "Are you telling me now that the company caused your breakup?" Madeleine blinked her eyes and nodded her head simultaneously, "Yeah, kind of. The last guy I dated had ego issues. He could not digest the fact that I was working as the secretary to the CEO of the Sawyer corporation." Luke leaned into his hand on the desk, "So, I caused your

Leo did not have any patience to stay back at work. He wanted to be alone. He looked for his team leader and asked, "Is it okay if I took the rest of the day off? I am not feeling well?" The poor team leader could not say anything. He did not want to get a rival out of Leo. "Yes, sure, that is fine, go ahead," he tone resembled a frightened person. Leo strode out of the office building. Why was no one helping him?  When he reached his house, he did not even park his car properly. He threw the car keys at the watchman and went inside. He was behaving like an absolute spoiled brat. Anna, who was sitting in the living room while reading a magazine, saw her son. "Why are you back so early? Did you not have any work? Your brother seemed to have garnered one of the biggest projects of the year." She was delighted to receive the news from Samuel. He had done hi

Luke drove inside the Sawyer estate as his father had asked for his presence. He did not know what was the matter."As expected," Anna commented, seeing Luke coming to the estate first thing in the morning. After she messed up with Leo's head, and his talk with his father, Leo had locked himself inside his room. And did not eat or talk with anyone. She found it to be childish but she was glad that her son was putting in some effort. And her comment about Luke's arrival was accurate. Since their childhood, whenever Leo puts up a tantrum, her husband would tell Luke to talk to him. It seems like the same case even now.Luke ignored Anna's comment and went to his father's study room. "You called me so early?" He said sitting in front of his father. "Your brother has gone crazy," David said, sighing. He barely caught up with some sleep last night. He was trying to

Leo, Luke and their father came out of the study room. David invited Luke to have breakfast with them to which he happily agreed. Since he was showered and ready to go to work, he might as well eat here. He had already informed Ruby about having an early start of the day. At the dining table, everyone was present except for Gia. David took a seat in the center. Luke sat beside Leo and on the other side, Anna sat with Robert. It seemed like Robert had taken a liking to having an extended stay here."Where is Gia? Has she not woken up yet?" Leo asked his mother. Anna shook her head, "I have no idea where she is." She glanced at Luke to see if he gave any reaction to it. But it seemed like he was unwavered by the mention of her. She wondered if he does not know that Gia is one that he slept with that night? Or did Gia come home before he woke up?They began the br

They did not realize how fastly the days would roll in. By now, Ruby and Luke had got their second scanning and Ruby had secretly given the scanning photo to David which delighted him more than ever. He spent a good time seeing his grandbaby grow into a little human. And Leo had got transferred and  secured all the shares from Gabriel’s names. Although their little battle about dating Mia was still ongoing, Gabriel had happily congratulated Leo on becoming a shareholder at the Sawyer corporation. It seemed like Mia and Gabriel had come around to accept that they both had romantic feelings for each other. Leo was upset about it but he had let go. Or so everyone thought. This morning, everyone in the Sawyer was awake earlier than ever. It was the day of the board meeting. Leo would be proposed as a new director, and there would be voting of all the board members. And Anna was quite n

Luke's phone rang when he was styling his hair. Today was his father's birthday party. He halted his action on the hair and received the phone call. "Boss!!! You have to hear this," Madeleine said in a loud voice. Luke had to move his phone away from his ears. "What is it, Madeleine?" He asked her. Again, Madeleine's voice came loudly, "I just found out what happened at the party your father hosted." Luke had almost forgotten about it. But now that his secretary had found out, he was curious to know. "Yes, tell me," he asked her expectantly. Madeleine began narrating the flashback, "As per my investigation, that evening, Anna had given some aphrodisiac powder to Gia to use it for your drinks and promised her to create a blackout and she has to make use of the situation to take advantage of your high self. And Gia did just that only until the blackout. When she came closer to you there was a blackout and she had planned to drag you to a room to do the

Anna was pissed off by Gia’s revelation. After Luke took away Gia and David and others followed them, the guests at the party scrambled away and some people almost left the party. Everyone gave one last stare at Anna before going their own ways. Unable to bear the humiliation and shame, Anna strode out of the party hall with her brother, Robert following her. He could not believe that his daughter put them to shame in front of everyone. And as per the pregnancy reports, Gia was pregnant. If it is not Luke’s baby, then whose it is? Thoughts ran through his mind as he walked. “Anna,” Robert called his sister. She gave him a glance and said, “Not now, Robert.” That shut Robert and they soon left the place.   Inside the room where Gia was seated, everyone was kind of tensed up about the situation since it was so abrupt and shocking. Luke came back in

Leo sighs leaning back on his chair. His eyes traced around his new office once again. He had no count of how many times he looked at his office with no expression and no feelings. He surely loved it when he got seated on the board, but right now, he was feeling extremely bad and dumb about not having proper knowledge before getting into the position. Dejected by his dumbness, he picked up the landline and dialed the same number that he had dialed for more than nine times in the past two hours. He patiently waited for the phone call to be answered. “Hello, This is Luke Sawyer’s office,” came Madeleine’s voice. Leo winced at her cheerful voice since he will be making her voice go dull in a moment. “Madeleine, it is me, Leo.” it took a moment for Madeleine to speak again, “Yes, sir. Tell me, what can I do for you?” Leo fidgeted with the paper in front of him, “

Luke had been working in his office since morning. He was as diligent as anyone could ever be. He did not even take a short break. Luke sighed, closing a file. He cracked his knuckles and neck in order to relieve some stress in his muscles and bones. His body was indicating that it is running out of energy and he needs to rest. But his mind was telling him to grab the next file and continue his work.  Luke shook his head and drank some water. He could not let his body take control for this moment. Luke continued his work.  Suddenly, he remembered the meeting that he had to attend in a few hours. He searched for a related file. He looked for the file in his files rack and the shelves everywhere. But he could not find it.  Luke grabbed the phone and dial

Days and months rolled in and Ruby was now in her second trimester. And she had been religiously following a healthy lifestyle. Apart from the headache of finding evidence to convict Anna and Robert, she did not have anything else to worry about. One semester had ended and for the last semester, she had chosen online classes. Since it did not require much theory work. "I have a suggestion to make," Luke said. It was a weekend and they were now seated on the couch in the living room. Ruby was laying her head on Luke's shoulder. "What is it?" She asked without looking at him."You know, the last time when we went to the hospital, we noticed that maternity classes. I think you should join it. It would be better to have a little knowledge about taking care of a baby." Ruby looked up at him and said, "If I have to join, then you will also join because you are
