RUBY was not mistaken in her thoughts. Because each passing day, Adam did nothing but make her suffer. However, she endured all of it just to stop her heart from loving her boss. She needed to feel annoyance and anger towards him so that her anger could surpass the love she felt for him.One morning, she suddenly woke up feeling like her stomach was being dug up. She hurriedly ran towards the sink to vomit. She clutched her stomach while throwing up in the sink.After vomiting, she looked up to her reflection in the mirror. She looked pale.She held onto the edge of the sink as she felt dizzy. She squeezed her eyes shut and leaned against the cold tiles of the bathroom wall. While waiting for her breathing to be regulated, she pondered what she had eaten the previous night. Perhaps that was why she vomited and felt dizzy.When she opened her eyes, she breathed a sigh of relief as she slowly felt the dizziness fading away. Once she was sure she was okay, she rinsed her mouth and was
RUBY once again faced the computer monitor and continued working until she realized it was already lunchtime. If she didn't feel her stomach grumble, she wouldn't have noticed that it was almost twelve noon.Ruby stood up and was about to go to the canteen when she saw Adam leaning on her table and eating... a cupcake? She stared at him. She didn't even notice his approach there. Has she been standing there all this time?Adam looked up, and his eyes caught hers. He offered her the cupcake he was eating. " Want some?"She quickly shooked her head. "No, I'm not hungry," Ruby replied, but her stomach growled at that moment. She bit her lower lip and silently scolded herself.She heard Adam chuckle. "You always lie."With that, she felt like he meant something else. It seemed like it wasn't about what she just said.Ruby froze in place as he suddenly cupped her chin and leaned towards her to share the cupcake he was eating. She quickly moved her face away from him and stepped back as if h
AFTER Adam pleaded, Ruby was instantly reminded of the recent things that happened in the office between Amethyst and Adam. She couldn't control herself, she pounded her fist on Adam's chest as tears streamed down her face. She kept punching his chest until she ran out of strength. Her cheeks were damp with tears. Her sobs echoed in the elevator."Enough! Stop your lies!" she shouted at Adam. "All that comes out of your mouth are lies! Stop bothering me! I don't want this! I don't love you! You mean nothing to me! I don't care about you! I hate you!" she huffed. "Enough, Adam, please?"The elevator filled with silence. Only Ruby's sobs could be heard.After a few minutes, Adam spoke. "A piece of advice, Ruby. Stop listening to your brain and start listening to your heart instead. The heart is what's used when loving, not the mind. And I believe that you love me. Because you wouldn't cry if you didn't love me." The elevator stopped at the thirteenthy floor and it flew open.“Get read
AFTER Adam deposited Ruby on the bed, He quickly removed her clothes. Her blouse was soaked in vomit, so he needed to take it off. As he removed her blouse, he swallowed hard when he saw her full breasts. Adam quickly averted his gaze as he felt his manhood suddenly awaken. "Shit! This is not the right time!"He then took off Ruby's denim jeans, leaving her panties on. He did everything to avoid looking at her fair thighs. Adam knew the effect it would have on him, and it wouldn't be good for their current situation. He understood why Ruby didn't want to accept his feelings for her. Ruby did not trust him with her heart, and he knew it. If his memory served him right, he hadn't done anything to earn her trust.Adam sighed and stood up. He left the room and headed to his own room to get clothes that Ruby could wear. When he returned to the room, he saw her sitting on the floor.Adam approached Ruby and sat beside her. He brushed away a few strands of her hair covering her face. He star
RUBY sat on the seat next to the window. When she gets on a plane, she consistently chooses a seat by the window to look at the clouds."Is your head still hurting?" She turned to Adam. " "Why do you care if it still hurts?" she replied. She remembered his emotionless face earlier, and Ruby was annoyed."I have Advil here if your head still hurts. Just tell me." She glared at Adam and looked back out the window.After a minute, Ruby felt the plane take off. A minute later, when the plane was in the air, a stewardess asked Adam, "Are you comfortable, sir?" the stewardess asked him.She felt annoyed seeing Adam smile at the woman. Hmp, this man is really untrustworthy! What a flirt! Ugh!“Yes, it’s comfortable. Thanks for asking.”The stewardess giggled and Ruby stopped herself from rolling her eyes. Flirt!“Do you need anything, sir?”“Oh, is that so?” the woman sounded disappointed.“No, I’m good,” Luke said with a broad smile on his face.“Please tell me if you need anything. Anythin
ADAM moved closer to where she was sitting and continued to stare intently into her eyes. She couldn't help herself and immediately confronted him."What's going on between you and Amethyst? I thought she wasn't your fiancée, so why is she acting like that?" she asked directly.Adam also sat down beside her on the edge of the bed. "Amethyst was my lover," he said, taking a deep breath. “And before I met you, I admit, I screwed her more than my fingers can count.”Her heart tightened in pain, but she had to know.Adam continued talking. “I also admit that I was a jerk before. Maybe, what’s happening to me right now is considered as my karma and—”“I don’t care about you being a jerk! What I'm asking is, what is Amethyst to you? Once and for all, Adam, be honest with me. If you're just fooling me, if you're just playing with me, please... tell me. So I know how to play with you too. Because if I give you a chance to prove the love you're talking about, Adam, I'm telling you now that you
