THE next day, Ruby arrived at the office early. As she reached the parking lot, she felt relieved not to see Adam's car."Thankfully, he hasn't arrived yet! I can relax in the office without any worries," she thought to herself.She hurried to the elevator. She was slightly surprised when a beautiful and sexy woman entered. The woman exuded a model-like aura with her figure and graceful demeanor. Their eyes met, and Ruby managed a forced smile, followed by a respectful nod. The woman reciprocated with a smile.She was about to press the button for the 13th floor when the woman did it instead.Her brow furrowed as she pondered what the woman's purpose on the 13th floor could be. With only the CEO's office located on that floor, she couldn't help but wonder.Meanwhile, the elevator dinged, signaling that they had reached their destination.The woman departed first.She followed her and her eyes widened when she saw that they were heading in the same direction. Who is she?The woma
ADAM is struggling to resist apologizing to Ruby for what happened between her and Amethyst. Despite wanting to clarify that he and Amethyst have no relationship. Another part of his mind finds pleasure in seeing her hurt and jealous. It had been a week since she became his secretary, and during that time, he had only stolen kisses from her, fearing that going further might lead to her resignation or worse, and it might affect her mental well-being. Despite his internal conflict about making her work difficult, he can't think of any other way to keep her in his life. Adam has already broken three of his rules, and he is certain that he will break the remaining rules within a month or two. As he stared at the ceiling, he reflected on the rules he set for himself.The first rule was to never engage with a virgin, because they tend to be clingy and demanding. However, Ruby proved him wrong. She was not clingy or demanding, but rather strong-willed and had a captivating personality
RUBY still couldn't believe it as she gazed at Adam. His eyes were closed, and he breathed softly.Is he asleep?She sat beside this handsome creature and gazed at him intently.A deep sigh escaped her lips. "You know, if it weren't for that bathroom girl who is now your fiancée, maybe I would have forgiven you." She spoke bravely, knowing that Adam was asleep and wouldn't hear her. I'm upset with you for believing that I could still accept you after the hurtful words you've said to me. And now, with the presence of Amethyst adding to the burden that I felt right now. However, I’m more upset with myself because, despite everything, I still find myself wanting to accept you, even though I know it will only lead me to more pain and tears in the end."The look in her face softened as she looked at Adam’s handsome face. “I hate you! I hate you, Adam Whitlock, for making me love you!”She gazed at him for a few minutes before waking him up. "Hey, Sir Adam, wake up!"He opened his eyes
RUBY doesn't care about what Adam might think of her confrontation with Amethyst. All she knows is that she needs to leave his office before the embarrassment she caused escalates. She hurriedly made her way to the parking lot and quickly drove the company car towards her apartment. Gosh! What happened to me? Why couldn't I control my emotions and my mouth?When she reached her apartment, she couldn't sit still. She paced back and forth in the living room, crossing her arms and biting her nails. She pondered on how she would face Adam again tomorrow. She couldn't be absent at work as he might get mad at her once more.What if I just cook lunch for him tomorrow? It could be my peace offering for the embarrassment I caused him. Feeling exhausted from thinking, she suddenly laid down on the couch in the living room. Before she knew it, she had fallen asleep, lost in thought.It was already dark outside when she woke up. She quickly got up and glanced at the wall clock. Gosh, it’s
RUBY didn't react immediately. "You brought a lot of food," Adam continued, not hearing any response from her, "I can't finish this alone."She let out a nervous chuckle. "S-sure, I'll eat with you."Adam furrowed his brow. "Are you okay, Ruby?"Her dirty thoughts fled when Adam spoke again."Yeah, I'm okay and-" she was cut off as he suddenly fed her a spoonful of food.She gave Adam a disapproving look, but he just laughed. "Eat up, Ruby."She quickly chewed and swallowed the food. Ruby was about to continue what she was saying earlier when Adam brought his lips close to hers. She held her breath as she waited for his next move. Her heart pounded loudly as he slowly bridged the gap between their lips.But instead of pressing his lips against hers, his tongue touched the corner of her lips like he was licking off something. Her breath was caught in her throat as she waited for Adam to pull away.When Adam pulled his lips, there was a mischievous glint in his eyes. “Were you expect
RUBY closed her eyes and gasped as Adam inserted his hardness inside her. She couldn't help but moan loudly from the intense pleasure it brought. Adam groaned in pleasure and leaned in.She was still lying on the conference table with her eyes closed. Adam was settled between her open legs. Adam caressed her cheek. “I’ve missed you so much, Ruby.”Ruby opened her eyes and she was welcomed by the sight of Adam, looking at her softly and…lovingly. It seemed like she made a mistake. Her mind was still cloudy with lust and pleasure, so she might be seeing the wrong things.She smiled at him. “Really? You missed me?”She nodded and began to move with him inside her. Ruby tightly shut her eyes and started moaning. "Ohh, God... Adam." Then he moved inside her again, this time at a slow pace.Ruby's body rose in pleasure from Adam's touch. She didn't know where else to hold on as he gradually increased the pace of his movements inside her."Adam... Adam... Ohh... Ahh..." Ruby moaned cont
SHE refrained from speaking right away and simply gazed at him before eventually speaking again.""I lied to you, Ruby."Her forehead knotted. "What the hell are you talking about?""I lied when I say that screwing Amethyst is better than fucking you..." He let out a deep breath before he continued to speak. "I like you more than Amethyst. I really do. And what happened in the conference room proves it."She burst out laughing. "It doesn't matter. Your apology doesn't mean anything to me. No amount of apologies can alter the words you have spoken. Once said, they remain unchanged and cannot be retracted no matter how many times you seek forgiveness.""Ruby, please...let me explain.""What else do you need to explain?" she stepped away. "I know that Amethyst is better than me, and you don't need to rub that in. I know my place in your life. I'm just your secretary, and she's a model. I understand that I'm not the type of woman you'll take seriously. I'm just someone you'll play with. S
ADAM took heavy steps as he entered the elevator. Until now, he still couldn't believe Ruby's words from yesterday. He hoped she would reciprocate his love, thinking she might also love him, but that was contrary to what happened. He wanted to prove to Ruby that his love for her was genuine. However, he didn't know how or where to start.The elevator suddenly chimed, indicating he had reached the 13th floor. As he entered the office, his eyes immediately met Ruby's. She looked away at first, so he quietly walked towards his swivel chair."You want coffee, sir?" she asked formally, and now she’s already standing in front of his desk.He was taken aback by her way of asking. It felt cold and overly formal. "Yes," he replied promptly.As Adam pondered his thoughts in the elevator earlier, he quickly found a solution. Yes, he needed to treat Ruby the way he did when he used to punish her. A punishment mixed with love. This way, they wouldn't need to avoid each other in the office. He had
