RUBY"What does that mean? What are you even trying to say when I am sitting here, leaving all my work behind trying to help you? Is this the time to accuse me of trying to actually impress your grandmother? And what if I do make a good first impression, what will that even do? I really don't get it," Ruby argues back, clearly confused of what he really wanted."I don't want her to see you in a good light because then she would never stop talking about you. You aren't the girl I described to her, I don't want you to live up to her expectations," he explained and Ruby quietened down as he started getting to the point and it started somewhat making sense. "I don't want her to like you because me and you, we'd never happen. At first, you were doing a good job by doing nothing and repelling her, but now, it's like you're actually trying to make her approve you.""I.. that wasn't my intention. I didn't want her to hate me which might be a problem later on for me. Why would I ever want to cr

EMBERShe hated being riled up, both mentally and physically, especially by someone who knew what effect that has on her and then again, it's all intentional. She hated feeling weak or domesticated by someone who knew how to control her and it just worked right into their favour, whether she wanted it or not.Ember immediately left that room and was determined to wait outside. It was an invasion of privacy and even if he wanted to include company laws, there's a basic sense of morals that Ember was following. She didn't need an intrusion or didn't need to become the intruder. So, she stood outside.In a couple of minutes, he walked out of the door of the waiting room, completely changed into his casuals. A white trouser and the blue striped shirt with the top button loosened. She found her breath hitching for a moment because of how he looked even better than what she had envisioned. He looked incredibly hot with his slightly rolled up sleeves and casually tucked in shirt. He just look

EMBERZaire stood there, watching the news with very skeptical eyes. He was not just thinking of what was going on but also letting his mind wander around many directions. People had already switched to their phones to read more about their story and the news articles that had possibly circulated all over the internet because it was indeed a huge news. The half of them were very interested because Travis Prescott was a huge deal everywhere with no publically known dating history. This was the first ever and through word of mouth, they all knew how close Ruby was to Florence because of her position. The other half were interested because they knew or heard Ruby's name around even though Sarte Company's name hadn't been associated with Ruby yet but once the media gets to know about her being with Sarte team, it would spread widely over. Ember realised that might be one of the reasons for Zaire to look that serious. All the fears that she tried to escape for her and for Ruby, they had c

RUBY"She won't be sent back so you can keep your company protocols. It's actually good that you fired her, maybe now my love would agree to join my company so we can work together," Travis Prescott took Ruby's hand and kissed it while Zaire, Ember and everyone else outside the glass window watched in plain shock.Shaken and completely frozen up, Ruby stared back at him unblinking and made an effort at making him let go of her hand but it wasn't really working. He wouldn't let her go and that smile just stayed on his lips. He had just made their dating rumours confirmed without even asking for permission and that was making Ruby's blood boil. "What are you talking about? You should let her go immediately, we all know you're trying to trap her into something that's none of her business so quit this act," Ember stood up for Ruby but she was already too far deep into it, beyond the saving Ember could provide. "I'm not here to fight, nor do I have anything to do with any of you. I can't

EMBERHis weight was obviously a lot on her so she stumbled back as well, trying to hold him upright, but he was leaving all of his weight on her as he continued to hug her. She slowly stepped back, letting him further into her room and then she somehow closed the door shut behind her. She entered the room further, trying to keep her balance when he finally backed up a little, raising the weight from her. He was just testing her in that way."I guess it was a good decision firing Ruby, you are living alone now. And judging by how you won't come to my room, maybe because it hurts your little ego, it'll be easy to just see me drop by.. like this.. in any state," he said, more like rambled on without worrying about how honest he was. So he had actually believed Ember had intentionally not come when he had asked her to. Now she couldn't explain how much she couldn't have waited for that night."I.. will take you to your room, come on," Ember said, trying to un-hear and ignore everything he
