ADAM was unsure of his thoughts and actions as he gazed at Ruby from afar. When he saw her looking flustered as she stood up and left the office after receiving a call, he felt a strange sense of nervousness.

His mind keeps on asking who Ruby is talking too. And then he heard her calling the person on the line “Babe”.

“Who the hell is babe? Why is it she seems so bothered?”

When she get back on her swivel chair, Adam also hurried to sat down on his swivel chair too and gaze at her intently. She keeps on checking her phone. “What the heck? Who is she texting?” his jaw tightened.

“Ruby! Why are you busy texting? You’re here to work not to fucking text!”

Witnessing Ruby startled due to her loud scream, he felt a sense of guilt from her immediate reaction. He clenched his fist under the table when he noticed Ruby walking towards him.

“Sir Adam, can I take a leave for a week?” she asked causing his forehead knotted.

“Why?”

"I have something important to do, sir.”

I went to the market because I'm going to cook all your favorite dishes.""Gosh, I told you that you didn't need to spend a lot. Just being with you, Auntie, and Uncle is already enough for me.""Tss, this only happens once in a blue moon so just let me do this. Hmm, by the way, are you ready to accompany me for a week?" Danrick asked her with a broad smile on his face, referring to their vacation.Ruby was about to respond when their Auntie Carmela entered the living room. "Oh, Danrick! Son, you're already here.

I'll just help in the kitchen," their auntie said mischievously, before finally leaving.When Ruby and Danrick were left in the living room, she immediately leaned on the young

    A moment of silence prevailed between Ruby and Danrick. Meanwhile, he distanced himself from her. "Anyway, babe, get dressed. We needed to head back to the house. Auntie texted that we should all have dinner together. Tomorrow, we can go back here to explore the surroundings."She finished the last sip of her coffee and then glanced at Danrick. "Okay, I'll just change my clothes. I'm sure Auntie Carmela has cooked a lot again."Ruby hurried back to the room and changed. She chose to wear thick blue jeans and a pink long-sleeve shirt. Then, she put on white mittens.Upon returning to the living room after changing, she found Danrick waiting for her. When he heard her footsteps, he turned around. Upon seeing her, he smiled. "Why do you look so beautiful even in simple clothes?"She rolled her eyes. "Why are you such a sweet joker?"He chuckled softly. "I'm not trying to sweet-talk you."

    ADAM remains rooted to his spot, what happened recently remains replaying on his mind."Ruby is here... with that asshole?” He thought he could finally breathe easy now that Danrick had resigned and wouldn't be competing for Ruby's attention. Little did he know that it only added to his annoyance.His face crumpled when he saw Danrick wrap his arm around Ruby's waist. It was a move typical of men who wanted to mark their territory with their girlfriends."Are they a couple?" he couldn't help but ask himself. If they were, why did Ruby allow that intimacy? Assuming they were together, he found irony in the situation, considering that he was the one who took Ruby’s virginity.He took a deep breath, and as he estimated that Ruby and Danrick had returned to the dining area, he also walked back into Miller's house."Mr. Whitlock, join us for dinner," Mr. Jacob Miller said with a warm smile on his face."Yeah, Mr. Whitlock, you should dine with us," his wife added in agreement.

    AFTER dinner, they gathered in the living room to talk and catch up on things. Adam decided to stay at a nearby hotel instead of driving back to his condo, as he wanted to tease Danrick and Ruby by staying in the area. Uncle Jacob offered Adam to stay at their house, but he politely declined, not wanting to disturb the Miller couple."It was nice meeting and talking to you, Adam," Uncle Jacob said with a smile."It was nice talking to you too, Mr. Miller. I have to go now. Maybe we should talk again tomorrow," Adam said as he hurriedly left.Ruby frowned as she watched her boss walk away. "Are you upset that Sir Adam didn't bid you goodbye?" Danrick's voice came from beside her."Of course not! I'm just annoyed by what he said earlier.""Oh, really? Which one? That you have no job to return to or that he found a replacement for you so quickly?" Danrick teased her.“Both.”“But why?”"Tss, let's not talk about that jerk! It's past ten o'clock, so we need to sleep now," Ruby said

    THE two remained in each other’s arms when Danrick's phone suddenly rang. He took it out of his pocket, signaling for her to wait. After a brief moment, he faced her with a worried look."Who was that on the phone?" she asked."It's the former finance director of my uncle's company. He wants to meet and discuss some things before passing on his responsibilities to me," Danrick replied."I thought you were going to be the CEO right away," she joked."Nope," he chuckled. "Uncle said it's part of my training. Once I handle and overcome this, I'll be the next CEO."She nodded. "When are you meeting the former finance director?""Right now. He's waiting for me at a restaurant," Danrick answered."Okay," she said, shrugging. "Why do you look worried though?""I'm thinking about you, how I'll take you home if the restaurant is in the opposite direction and-"."Babe, don't worry about me, okay? I'm old enough. I can take care of myself. I'll just take a taxi," she reassured him.“Are yo

    IT’S already nighttime when Ruby arrived at Danrick's house. She noticed that Danrick seemed anxious and lost in thought. To capture his attention, she cleared her throat, prompting him to swiftly face her and gave her a forced smile. "Oh, you just got home, babe?"Ruby nodded, "I have just arrived. I couldn't ride a taxi immediately, so I decided to wander around the nearby mall before heading home." She lied but it seemed like Danrick believed her.She approached Danrick and sat beside him. "Are you okay, babe? Is there something bothering you?" she asked with full of concern in her voice. "Tell me. Hmm, let me guess… it’s about your conversation with-"Danrick did not let her finish talking. "It has nothing to do with the finance director I talked to earlier.""So? What is it then? Do you have other problems?"Danrick gave her another and forced a smile, causing Ruby to worry. He had never acted this way before.Then Danrick averted his gaze, he said, "Um, Babe, Auntie Carme

    "WHY were you surprised? Don't you want it?" She shook her head. "I want the job, sir." Mr. Cordova smiled and handed her a piece of paper. As she read what was written on it, she saw that it was her appointment as the secretary of the president of ALV FINANCIAL. When she looked at the validity period of the appointment, her eyes widened in disbelief. The appointment was valid for up to ten years. She looked at Mr. Cordova in astonishment. "Sir? Ten years?" The man nodded. "Yes! Sign it, and you can start today, but there are some things you need to know before signing it." Ruby furrowed her brow. "What's that, sir?" He handed her a white folder. "Just read what's inside that folder, Miss Castillo so you can be enlightened." Instead of reading it, she set the folder aside. In those moments, she was overwhelmed with joy, and whatever was inside that folder did not matter to her anymore. All she could think about was that she had a job again. She quickly signed her appointment. T

Ava thought that maybe he left her after what happened to them last night."Trevor!" she called his name, but she did not receive any response from him.She went out of the nipa hut and called him again. She looked around, but she still couldn't find Trevor.Disappointed, she sat on the edge of the bench outside the nipa hut. Until she didn't notice that there were tears running down her cheeks."What if he goes back in Fairbanks? What if all the good things that he did to me in this resort were all just a lie?

Tell me!" he said bitterly."Tss, that's not important, Trevor!" she snorted in disgust and immediately stepped back to get away from him."Ava!" he shouted, but she just kept stepping back away. "Stop! Let's talk properly while—”Trevor didn't even finish what he was going to say because suddenly Ava groaned in pain."Ouch!" she shouted and she was surprised when she lifted her foot. Even though it was dark, Ava could feel a liquid dripping from her foot. And she was certain it's blood."Hey, what happened?" he shouted worriedly and ran as he was approached."I stepped on something sharp. I don't know what that is."He immediately touched her foot and it's actually bleeding. "Calm down, okay? I'll treat this wound."

You have your own suite, right?" she snorted at Trevor, who had been lying on the bed while busy on his cellphone."Yes, I have. But I prefer to stay here.""Tss, Trevor, you're just wasting your time.

I mean you are here, okay? Don't bother Allison because she's in Singapore now!"Ava laughed again. "Why? Is it because she has lost hope of getting all your wealth?
