Jaxon was practically vibrating with anger and exhaustion when he finally got home in the evening. His whole body felt heavy and he could feel a headache coming but he ignored it and pulled off his jacket which he threw on the couch and removed his tie, with an annoyed sigh he unbuttoned his shirt and made his way to the kitchen. He opened the last cabinet at the top and took his favorite mug. He walked to the coffee machine and started it up. A smile made its way to his lips as the smell of fresh coffee hit him. He picked up the cup and took a sip of the pure black liquid. He felt refreshed as he went back to the living room and sat on the couch. He brought out his phone and started going through mails, replying to the important ones related to the projects he is working on and ignoring the ones he deemed irrelevant. His phone screen lit up and a text message from Damon popped up on the screen.“I just sent you a copy of the contract we will be offering Mr. Lee tomorrow, please
Chapter 60Damon pulled up at the large apartment complex and checked his phone to make sure he was at the right building. He didn't know why landlords liked having similar looking buildings right next to each other,he thought wryly as he glanced down the street to see two more nearly identical apartment complexes.He made it to the front of the building before his phone chimed in his pocket. He reached for his phone and saw Jaxon's contact flashing across the screen. He wasn't surprised because he swore Jaxon had the uncanny ability to call him at the right time. He definitely knew Jaxon was calling to ask about any developments. And warn him off doing anything that he didn't ask, Damon thought with a smile.He flicked the screen and took the call. "Hello,""Have you arrived?" Jaxon's cool voice came through the line."I've just arrived. I'm outside the apartment complex as we speak." He replied. He shoved his other hand into his pocket and looked down to admire his shoes. He had
Chapter 61 Jaxon was taking care of a few things before they would leave the house, even after killing Kevin, he still did not feel satisfied. The bastard should have suffered more.Jaxon already informed Ruby they would leave in an hour and a half to beat the traffic.There was still time on her hands so Ruby decided to pamper herself and take a soothing bath instead of a regular shower. It was a hot day out so she opted for a dress instead of a pants outfit. She chose a floral dress that hugged her bust and flared at the waist, showcasing her nice figure. The dress stopped a few inches above her knees so her legs were on display.Satisfied with her appearance, she glanced at the clock for the third time in the last hour noting that there was still twenty minutes before they left.She met Jaxon in the living room casually scrolling on his phone. He stopped when he heard her footsteps then looked up and froze. Ruby cleared her throat and Jaxon blinked rapidly before standing on his
Ruby was still flushed as the car came to a halt in front of a modern mansion. She was still overwhelmed by all the sensations that went through her body in such a short span of time.She shyly glanced at Jaxon who was waiting for the driver to open the door for him and their eyes locked.“Like what you see Gem? You can ogle me all you want later but shall we go meet your in-laws first?” Jaxon smirked as her blush got darker.He got down from the car and stretched his hands to help her out.Immediately she got down, he grabbed her waist and steadied her.Ruby felt like running back home and hiding away in the safety of her soft bed and duvet.She felt embarrassed as the guards gave them a funny look.She looked up and glared at Jaxon who was looking so calm and composed which was the exact opposite of how she felt.She felt like kicking him for doing that when he knew fully well that they would be visiting his family.She wondered just how good he was at keeping his emotions in check
Ruby stared wide eyed at Keith and she felt lost for words as his question kept repeating itself in her mind.I’m dead.How am I supposed to reply to that? I can’t allow them to find out that we haven’t had sex because we are not really a couple and neither can I lie that we have cause my stupid ass might start to stutter judging by how nervous I’m feeling right now. Ruby thought.Well technically we almost had sex she thought and blood immediately started rushing to her cheeks at the thought of their car adventure, in the office as well and ke kisses her.“Well grandpa we are both very healthy adults and married so of course we uhm do what every married couple do and stuffs” She laughed nervously and grandpa smiled.“I’m not referring to stuffs Ruby, I'm talking about sex. Do you both have sex with each other or is Jaxon too busy to make time for that?” Keith stressed on the word sex and Ruby awkwardly coughed.She can’t believe her in-laws are interested in their sex life and she cu
Chapter 64The drive home was much smoother than earlier. The traffic had since slowed down so Ruby could sit back and enjoy the ride. Ruby found herself yet again staring out the window and completely spaced out."... Ruby?" Jaxon's voice pierced through whatever trance she had been in and she blinked rapidly."Hmmm... Sorry, I was lost in thought." She told him. Jaxon only glanced at her before he continued."I was asking what my grandfather told you." He said, then looked at his phone. Jaxon glanced at her again, briefly, before clearing his throat. Ruby visibly jumped and then offered an apologetic smile."Lost in thought again?" Jaxon asked and she shook her head."I was just thinking." Jaxon didn't say anything and continued to look at her expectantly."Well?" He said impatiently."Oh, we just caught up on things." She rushed out."Is that all?""Yes, nothing special happened." With a slight nod, Jaxon went back to tapping away on his phone. Ruby assumed that it had to do with b
Chapter 65Warm sunlight filtered through the bedroom window and Jaxon found himself enjoying it. The view was nice and there was no noise from traffic since it was still quite early.It was just past seven but he was fully dressed and would head to work in a bit. He wasn't like some people who whiled away their time by lying in bed. He lived strictly by the motto that the early bed gets the worm.He was still looking out the window when he heard the door slam and the soft pad of footsteps approached him. He turned around to reprimand Ruby for entering without knocking but all thoughts left his head at the sight of her. He felt his throat close up and he couldn't get any words out. He was thankful he still had the self control to not gape at her.She had just woken up and had come straight to his bedroom. He wasn't exaggerating. Her dark hair fell around her like a shawl and her eyes were still a bit glazed from sleep. She still had her waking up face which consisted of pouty lips an
Ruby felt giddy as she twirled in front of the changing room mirror. She looked amazing in the beautiful strapless black dress she wore, it looked simple and hugged her figure in all the right places.She opened the curtain and walked out in confident strides. She stood about two feet apart from the sales assistant who was holding two extra clothes for her and the lady’s stunned expression was all the confirmation she needed.She flipped her curly hair and smiled at the sales assistant.“How do I look?” Ruby asked and slowly tailed so the lady could see the dress in all its glory.“You look amazing! I guarantee that when your husband sees you in this he won’t be able to take his eyes and hands off you.” The lady replied excitedly and Ruby laughed as she thought about Jaxon complimenting her.“I’ll take it and the other two, I don’t have to try them on.” The sales assistant nooses and Ruby walked back into the stall to change back into her black cargo pants and white cropped top.The s
