Semua Bab Falling for the CEO : Bab 41 - Bab 50

“It’s a little wonder you were the best graduating student” Nate commented as they shared a laugh They talked about their college experiences. Ruby went on to tell him about how she dated a guy who didn’t like peanut butter and jelly. “He must be a real loser then,” Nate laughed again. “Who the hell doesn’t like peanut butter and jelly?” They had ordered another set of fries and shared a plate. Ruby had just fifteen minutes with him and he wanted to make it the best. It hurt so much but he successfully put up a bright smile. Why it hurt so much wasn’t clear to him, it wasn’t like she meant anything to him.It reminded him of when he lost his father. Mr Jacobin had shown signs of recovery and the doctors said they were going to clear him in a week's time. Grace put in all the effort, she picked out the best of his suits for him. After being sick for months, everyone was happy to have him back on board. Nate remembered vividly how excited he was when he heard the news. He

The night slowly crept in as both sat on the bench, preoccupied. They’d sat in silence for thirty minutes, not an uncomfortable silence though. The lounge was almost empty as the passengers looked for where to pass the night in. Soft jazz music played on the speakers as they watched the nursing mother put her baby to sleep. Everyone was tired from the day's events and needed a good night's rest. The airport staff tried to compensate them by offering them food. “It’s getting late” Ruby commented as she sized her luggage.She packed the essential things she needed and had planned to have the rest moved to her when she was in Columbia. It didn’t occur to her how much stuff she had until she started packing. She had tried selling so many things but that only reduced it by a bit. “We should get going then” he said as he stretched his legs.His eyes felt heavy. It was a day he could never forget, a crazy one but every minute was worth it. Ruby weighed her options. The drive ba

A moan escaped her lips as she savored the taste of the buttered chicken. The dining was covered with a variety of dishes, the maids went all out. “The chauffeur would drive you to the airport tomorrow” Nate said as he cut through his chicken Ruby nodded. She was too tired to be bothered about her flight. She had had one of the longest and most unbelievable days of her life. Ending up in Nate’s house wasn’t part of the plan but it happened anyway. “Why are you being so nice?” She asked, looking him in the eye.She still felt guilty for keeping everything from him. It would have made her feel better if he was mean to her especially since she felt like she was betraying him. “Count yourself lucky, I’m not always nice” he chuckled, flashing her his pearly white teeth “I have something to tell you” she announcedGuilt had eaten her so much, she lost her appetite. She figured since she was moving the next day, she could as well tell him the truth and save his company “W

Ruby clutched the phone as she scribbled something hurriedly on the back of the book. “A telecommunications company?” She asked, to be sure had heard Anderson correctly. Just like other days, Anderson decided to pass the night on his yacht with the captain at the steering. When it came to Nate, It wasn’t just about the business for him. Nate had taken almost everything away from him. In business school, he was the best student before Nate came. Everyone looked up to him and respected him, a couple of times, he won most likely to succeed. One of the perks that came with being handsome and popular was having a flock of girls around him. He loved the attention and all that came with it. All that changed when Nate came, it was almost as if he existed no more. No one paid him as much attention, everyone had Nate’s name on their lips. As if that wasn’t enough, Nate went on to be the most successful businessman and won the award every single year. Ruby listened to him carefully, sh

She tossed for the umpteenth time. After a long and emotional day, it was only right that she had a good night rest but that wasn’t forthcoming. After her call with Anderson, three cups of chamomile tea and thirty minutes of pacing around she decided to sleep. The sheets were so soft she had almost thought they were made of cotton candy. The house was so quiet she could have sworn if a pin dropped, she would hear. Maria had returned to her room after ensuring Ruby was well pampered.Ruby groaned as she pulled the blanket over her head. “Why can’t I sleep?” She asked herself as she pouted It was unusual for her as she always drifted off to sleep immediately she touched the bed. Sighing, she moved to the door and placed her ear against it. “Just one sound” she whispered as she leaned in more.She had to admit she was spying on Nate. Her anxiety was over the roof especially since she hadn’t heard him leave his room after their quarrel.She was barely resisting the urge to
