CHAPTER 61RUBY’S POVMy legs still wobbled slightly as I made my way up the stairs to my porch. I tried to open the door but it was locked so I pressed the doorbell and Clarissa opened it for me on the second ring.She looked me over from head to toe with suspicious eyes and when our eyes met, she tilted her head to the side and stroked her chin slowly and deliberately. “You guys fucked at the club, didn't you?” she concluded immediately and my eyes grew wide on hearing her say that. Quickly, I looked over her shoulder to see if Sally was awake in case she woke up for dinner and when I was sure she was nowhere near, I glared at Clarissa who was now smiling knowingly and I slapped her on the arm.“Ouch! What was that for? It's not like I'm wrongly accusing you” she snapped and I ignored her as I made my way inside and took off my shoes.“Sally could have been awake. Careful when you use curse words” I told her and she rolled her eyes before closing the door and following me as I made

CHAPTER 63DAX’S POVRuby was glowing. She looked impossibly beautiful as I stared at her from the front of my house and she stared back at me with curious eyes that raked over me from head to toe. It was obvious that she liked how I looked and at that moment, I had an idea and I guessed it wouldn’t hurt to ask her.So I made my way across the road to meet her where she still stood and I watched as shock crossed her face briefly before it disappeared and she kept a blank face while she waited for me.I climbed up her porch and stood before her, my mug of morning coffee still in my hand while I smiled at her and I watched her pupils suddenly dilate as she looked up at me with doe eyes that did unspeakable to me on the inside.Her stare suddenly awakened memories from the previous night at the club. It was a crazy experience for the two of us but also one of the best I had spent with her ever since I moved to Denmark to get back. I was glad when she said she accepted my apology after t

CHAPTER 65RUBY’S POVI lied to Dax. I wasn’t wondering why he was suddenly taking me along with him to work when he didn’t even do that during the two years that we dated. Of course, I was curious but not that curious because I didn't want to care too much about something that wasn’t going to last anyway.I was thinking about the deal I made with Dennis because like he said, I had to get Dax’s trust and I was succeeding which was why he was making me tag along with him to work just because he wanted to spend time with me. That meant Dax trusted me now.That also meant I was going to have access to many other projects and contracts of his that Dennis could snatch away from him and make his company run dry in no time.I was busy thinking about that instead while he drove but I couldn’t tell that to him unless I was insane so I had to lie and make him think I cared too much about wanting to know why everything was so complicated for him when he could just simply explain and make me unde

CHAPTER 67RUBY’S POVThere was an awkward silence in the elevator as the workers waited to get to the floor of their destination and Dax kept on rubbing the back of my hand. I figured he was doing it to calm me down and when I looked at him, his eyes smiled at me.The workers finally got out of the elevator so it was just the two of us and soon, we also got to the last floor so Dax pulled me out when the elevator doors slid open.He didn't say a word until we got to his office and I smiled at his secretary who got ignored by him when she greeted him as we both passed by.“Your secretary greeted you. Why didn't you reply?” I asked him as he pulled me into his office and closed the door after us. Then he turned to face me and shrugged in response to my question.“No reason, I just wanted to get to my office to be alone with you” he replied and I narrowed my eyes while staring at him.“Why is that? Is there something you want to show me?” I asked and he beamed at me slyly while taking s

CHAPTER 69RUBY’S POVThe whole drive to the spa was in silence. A comfortable though, because thankfully, I finally relaxed from my shock and fear of almost getting caught.Dax held my hand throughout the drive and when we arrived, he got out of the car first before getting my door for me and when I got out, I made sure to kiss him on the cheek which earned a flustered smile from him.We both walked into the spa and Clarissa was seated in a corner of the waiting room. Many other women were waiting too and most of them were busy reading through magazines or scrolling through their phones without a care about who came in or got out of the spa.Clarissa sighted us and with a glare, she stomped over to where we stood and folded her arm across her chest.“What took you both so long? I called a long time ago to let you both know I was here already” she asked and there was silence for a while.Simon walked into the spa at that moment and he was carrying four paper bags which meant lunch was
