"I...I have to go," she stammered, her voice cracking.”Take me to the hospital… It’s dad”She hung up, her eyes meeting Ryan's for a quick second Ruby stood up and picked her arm bag up, “Let’s go then” Ryan quickly grabbed her arm before she could walk away “Ruby,right…give me your business card.” he spoke with a firm but calm Ruby let out a shrug and brought out her card and handed it to him.

He maintained an expressionless face as he got to the table, his jaw clenched “Grandpa…” Ryan uttered, nodding to the brunette who sat beside his grandfather, he noticed she was holding an envelope, a brown envelope that looked like it had cash in it.

Chapter 5“Emily…you’re still sleeping? c’mon wake up!” Ruby scowled as she attempted to drag her best friend out of the bedSlowly, as if lifeless, Emily opened her eyes. She lay in the bed motionless, inhaling the fresh scents of baked treats, she squinted her eyes, trying to make the time out of the wall clock that hung just above the board nailed into the brick building. It was 12 pmShe gasped, “How could I have been in bed for so long? Ugh…my head aches so badly” as she palmed her face with one hand, rubbing her forehead with the other.“Well, we both slept quite late you know…and besides I figured you must have been so tired, I was hesitant to wake you up at first,” Ruby said, handing her a cup of water before turning her direction to the kitchen “I can’t believe I have wasted most of the day already” Emily shrugged. She got up from her comfort duvet and walked into the bathroom, a few minutes later she emerged, water dripping from her delicate skin as she flawlessly dapped th

He arrived at the dining area and reached out to grab the back of a chair to have his breakfast,The air was filled with the smell of freshly brewed coffee and baked pastries.

Chapter 3Emily stood there, unmoved by what she heard.“I own this place…And you sure don’t know who you’re talking to”Her culprit declared, a sly smile curling up at his lipsTo her, it's not like it changed anything in their current situation, she didn’t give a care in the world. She didn’t even realize when Ruby was dozing off in the car behind her“So? That still doesn’t give you any right to just do whatever you want” her voice sounding venomous "Oh, come on. It's just parking. Don't be so uptight…and as the owner of this building, I can park anywhere I want to…and you can’t do anything about it” Ryan chuckled, his arrogance radiating like a shield. Now feeling annoyed, she burst out “Uptight?? So you own this parking lot too, you think you can own anything you want think the world revolves around you, don't you?"Emily's eyes flashed,a sudden sense of anger washed over her “Yes!” he responded, sounding authoritative.
