Jaxon POV
It's been two nights since I last saw that girl. Her red hair and blue eyes were able to melt me like butter. I don't know why she went to a bar, dressed in cooperative wear, but I'm sure she has a reason. Apart from the reason where she got drunk only after a sip, she managed to touch me. It's been years since I had any physical contact. But, this girl not only patted my back, we also spent the night together. I thought I would have an anxiety after her touch but, I was fine. Who is she? How is she able to have this much effect on me? I turned away from the window and my eyes met with the cash on the desk. Also, how dare she leave behind some money like I performed some service? I was also stupid enough to bring the money back to my house. I want to meet her again. I must see her again. I want to confirm if her touch really has no negative effect on me. But before that, I must focus on my job. As the new CEO, I can't show any weaknesses. .... That's what I wanted, till I arrived at the company on Monday morning. The name was boldly written both in front and above the company. It's not a small company. Father never told me it's huge. BB Design Company. It's a famous company that has many collections that are wanted by most celebrities and also, politicians. And right now, I'm the new CEO of that company. "Mr Rodrigo, are you alright?" My assistant, Felix, snapped me out of my thoughts. I looked at him and looked back to building. "I'm fine. Let's go in" I said. Felix led me to the elevator that went up to my new office. It was huge and bright. It had a glass desk and leather chair. I like it. My father entrusted this company to me, to see my competence, I'll have to do well to earn his trust. "What's on my schedule today?" "You only have to familiarise yourself with the company and the employees. The real task starts tomorrow" "Hold a meeting with all leader and assistant of each team. I want it today after lunch" "Yes sir!" He said and started scribbling on his tablet, with a stylus pen. Slowly, I sat on the leather twirling chair in the office, looking at the door and the sofa. Few days ago, my father called me back into the country, just so he could hand me his inheritance. He divided his companies amongst all of us and gave us three months to see who will produce the most results. That person will inherit his properties. My siblings only see me as a thorn. After all, I was born from a different mother, I'm twenty years older than they are and most of all, I have SAD. I neglected people and never got close to anyone after my mother was killed, by someone I don't know. I never had the chance to investigate because of the phobia. But now that I've gotten used to my anxiety, I'll be able to uncover the truth about my mother's death and also... Become the heir! Since my morning was less busy, I decided to take a walk around the company. It was huge, so I'm sure I'll avoid touching anyone. Even if I do, I have my gloves on. Felix walked behind me as we left my office together. As we walked around, I heard the employees gossip. They were aware that they were having a new CEO, but do not know it's me. They even stole glances at me, wanting attention from me. "Oh my.. he's hot. What department is he from?" I smacked my lips. The walk was getting tiring already. I've only walked around the ninth and tenth floor. "What team is on the eleventh floor?" I asked Felix. "The design team" he replied after taking a glimpse at the tablet. "That'll be the final floor for today" I said and entered the elevator. The elevator dinged and parted open. We were on the eleventh floor. It was the most busy floor in the whole company. I should have avoided it to prevent getting touched but... "WHAT THE FUCK?!" I heard a scream from the room behind me. It was the break room. "Oh please, don't scream now Maya. What if someone listens to you?" A familiar voice asked. "That son of a bitch broke up with you after five years and... You don't even care. If I were you, I'll cut off his dick and throw it into the ocean" the first girl said. Her voice was loud, that I can hear what she was saying... Hold on! Why am I listening to their gossip? I can't believe I brought myself so low to listen to those girls, gossiping. "Let's go, Felix" I said and turned to leave. Suddenly, that familiar voice came again. "I'm glad you're not me, Maya. He found someone he loves, all I can do is wish him good luck with his life" "But, he took credit for all of your designs. Are you just going to let him go?" Designs? If I remember correctly, that red haired girl talked about something similar to that. She could also tell that the shirt I was wearing that day was BB design and she.. she was the one who designed it. I turned around immediately and pulled the door open. The two girls looked at me. One of them had black hair, that stopped under her jaw. She had make up on, together with a pair of glasses. While the other girl... Ah! She's the one. The one from that night. She saw my face and shot her mouth wide open. Of course she's surprised. "Who is this? How can he just barge in like that?" The dark haired girl asked. "Shit! What are you doing here?" The red haired girl asked, stomping her feet towards me. Felix was about to stop her from getting close to me, but I signalled him to stop. "Ruby, do you know him? Is he new here?" Her friend asked. So, her name was Ruby? Well, it fitted her perfectly well. "Yes. He's the one from that night" she whispered to her friend but, it was loud enough for me to hear. "Why are you here? Didn't I give you enough money that night? Are you here for more?" The corner of my eyes twitched. I was upset. She thinks I'm here because of money. How poor does she think I am. "Ruby, look at his clothes. Does he look like someone who lacks money?" Her friend got closer and whispered to Ruby. At least, she's not as stupid as Ruby. Ruby looked at me from head to toe and finally noticed. "Why are you here?" She asked again, this time she was looking nervous.Ruby's POVThe man from that night. That's the nickname I gave him. I didn't know his name, so that's what I could call him.I thought I would never see him again. Because, I didn't want to. But, I saw him in the company, in my team and also...inside the break room. Who the hell is this man and how did he manage to get into the company?I thought he was here because he wanted more money. But after listening to Maya, I'm not sure he is here for that. He looked more dashing than that night and he was wearing one of the latest designs done by our company. Since he's rich enough to buy that, I guess he's not that poor. "You have the nerves to leave behind that cash, don't you?" He asked me. We are both alone in the break room. Maya betrayed me and left, with the average looking man that was behind the man from last night. I should stop calling him that. "I thought you needed it" I replied, avoiding his gaze. Is he going to hurt me?"How's your pussy?" He suddenly asked. I didn't know
Ruby POVThe meeting ended after thirty minutes and I was the first person to leave the conference room. It was stuffy for no reason even if it was one of the largest rooms in the company.My hand was on my chest, I could hear my heart racing rapidly. He knew I was working here. I suddenly remembered that night, how I groped his chest and spent the night with him. "Fuck, I want to die" I grumbled and pushed the elevator button."Who's dying?" A voice sounded from behind.It's Rowan again. Why is he suddenly stalking me? Maybe it's too early to say that. We are both heading to the eleventh floor. The elevator door opened and we both walked in. I silently folded my hands while Rowan stood beside me."Have you known our boss before? He kept on looking at you" He asked and I gave him no response. I made sure he can't even hear me breathing. "I feel like you're avoiding me because of that night, Ruby" he turned to look at me. "Are we supposed to be buddies now that we've broken up?" I
Jaxon's POV After having that meeting with the employees, I was unable to think properly. I also couldn't get Ruby off my head. I really must have hurt her that night. How could I have slept with her when I wasn't drunk. I was just surprised that there was finally someone who could touch me without me getting affected in any way. She didn't wear a glove, neither did she wash her hands. If I get closer to her, she might help me cure my anxiety. That way, I'll get my father's property and also... Find the person who killed my mother. "Felix!" I called my secretary who was standing opposite me. He looked like he was busy, seeing how he kept staring at splendour. I better not distract him. It's my first time handling a business. Ever since I developed that social anxiety, I've been locked away. All my lectures were done online. I'm not going to remain uneducated because of an anxiety. No way!Felix was the first person I met, after my father. He knows about me, through my father. That
Ruby's POVIf this man ends up calling my name with that sweet, calm voice of his, I might end up falling in love with him. Heat always rises up to my cheek whenever he does that. I don't hate it but right now I'm still brooding over my last heartbreak only to figure out the reason he broke up with me was to be with my highschool friend who also hates me. I have a lot of people who hate me, except for my lovely family and Maya. Well, I might end up adding Jaxon to the list. I turned my head to stare at him and caught him staring at me. Why is he staring at me?Huh? The car already stopped moving. "Aren't you going to take it?" I turned to him again and saw he was giving me a white small bag. What was in it? I don't know. I was thinking too deeply about him that I didn't realise when he got out of the car to buy me some.... Painkillers?"What is this for?" I queried, staring at the five tablets that were in the white bag. There was even some syrup and a balm. He's basically telling
Ruby's POVIt's been five minutes since Jaxon dropped that bomb... I mean, news. I can't believe Rowan was his nephew. I can see why his response to his introduction during the meeting was just 'hmmm'. Rowan also wasn't interested in impressing the boss. I feel like there's a secret to that. Why is this happening to me? Why? It's not as if I cheated on Rowan but, as long as no one knows about our one night stand, I guess we could both keep it as a secret for a long time. The issue is this man... What does he want? He can't just bring a girl to lunch without wanting anything. "Ruby?" He called my name and I snapped out of my thoughts. "What?" I asked."You've been staring at me for too long now. Do I have something on my face?" He asked me. What the hell? Does he have something on his face? Well... Beauty!!!It's not as if I could tell him that. I cleared my throat and let out a sigh. "So, tell me, what do you want with me?" I asked, keeping my serious face on. He stared at me. I
Jaxon's POV Meeting with Ruby was the greatest decision I made today. The look in her eyes, I'm sure she would agree with whatever I want. I just need to give her the two days she asked for and I'm sure by then, she would give a clear response. Felix pulled over the car in front of my house, the one father prepared for me. It's a great thing I don't have to live with him and his other sons in the Green mansion. Apparently, the fact that Rowan works in the company I'm given to, he's just going to act as a spy for his father, who is also my elder step brother. "Boss, we're here!" Felix's voice snapped me back to reality. I unbuttoned my suit jacket before opening the door. "What time do I pick you up tomorrow?" Felix asked, making me pause before I threw my legs out of the car. "Same time. We have something to discuss with the designing team tomorrow morning. Schedule a meeting" "Yes, boss" he said and I finally left the car and slammed the door. Still wearing my gloves, I walked
Yesterday was hectic. After returning from lunch with Jaxon, no...my boss. I seem to be more hated by everyone than before. It's not like I care or anything. I could close down this company if I wanted since my father is the largest shareholder here, however, I'm not ready to reveal myself. I slept early last night only to wake up to seeing messages on the company group chat. They were all talking trash about me. I ignored it, just as I should and dressed up for work. A plain black skirt, peach shirt, with a cute scarf around my neck and a pair of ordinary black shoes. That's my outfit for the day. I rushed into the company, showing my ID to the security man. I wasn't late to work. In fact, I'm early. There was going to be a meeting related to what Jaxon... I mean, my boss, told me yesterday. Walking towards the elevator, I received a call from my mother. She's the worrying type. I hurriedly answered the call and moved to a corner so she won't keep on calling. "Hey mom!" "Hey
Ruby's POVAfter receiving Jaxon's threatening message, there's no way I'd stay back. I rushed to his office. I even used the stairs, because the elevator refused to open.Why on earth is he doing this to me?I thought he was gentle and calm, but he really is vulgar. I arrived in front of his office and was about to touch the glass door when it flung open. An average looking man with glasses, walked out, holding some files. He stared at me and I stared back at him. We were both silent for some seconds. I recognized him. He's Jaxon's assistant. However, I can't remember his name. "You must be Ruby" he said to me. "Ah yes, I am. Is the boss inside?" I asked. I almost called him by his name, but thank goodness, I held myself back. "Yes, he is" he replied.I shoved him aside and rushed into his office. Felix didn't follow me in. I started panting immediately I entered the office. "You're three seconds early. How lucky" he said, staring at his watch. This handsome asshole! I gritted
Ruby's POVJaxon and I got to my house around 10am and it's already 3pm in the afternoon. Should I just say we had a five hours sex? Jaxon is a beast, he's a monster. How did he get it to be hard for the whole five hours?Is he some kind of sex greek god that's reincarnated to the modern world and also in his handsome and well built body?"Can you move your legs?" Jaxon's voice snapped me back to reality as he brought me a cup of hot chocolate.Is he supposed to ask me that? I'm seated here, unable to move my legs while he was walking about with his face glittering."Don't talk to me!" I frowned at him, taking the cup of chocolate from him. He knelt in front of me wearing an innocent look on his good-looking face. He was already fully dressed like he didn't do what he did. "I'm sorry, I couldn't control myself because I heard you slept with my nephew. I was jealous" he grumbled like a child. He's so cute that I wanted to stroke his head. Thanks to his jealousy, I'm unable to move. I
Writer's POV Pushing her panties aside, he slipped his finger inside, earning a moan from her. His finger worked wonders on her insides, touching all the right places and setting her on fire. Her toes curled when he added another finger. In and out his fingers went, driving her crazy. "Oh my God, Jaxon!" She moaned, grabbing the sheets. "Just fuck me already" she screamed. "We're almost there. Now you come help me with this" Jaxon said, tugging at his pants. Slowly rising off the bed, Ruby plucked out the buttons of his shirt, flinging the shirt to God-knows-where. As she watched him take off his pants, she dipped her hands into the waistband of her panties and slipped it off. Tossing it across the room, it landed on Jaxon's shirt. Just before he could climb back into the bed with her, she stared at his hardened self and a sudden urge to have both her hands and her lips wrapped around him overwhelmed her. He smiled when he saw the want in her eyes. "You wanna touch this, wife
Writer's POVAfter Jaxon and Ruby managed to sneak out of the company, Jaxon drove to Ruby's house. Ruby couldn't stop thinking about why and how she managed to invite Jaxon over to her house. She was living alone in a huge apartment, but she acted poor in the company. She hoped Jaxon find anything suspicious. "You live here?" He asked as he drove into the compound and cut the engine."It belongs to my aunt. She allowed me stay here while she work abroad, since it's closer to the company" I lied, wearing a serious expression."I see. It's huge for you to stay alone. Is the security tight? What if there's a robbery? How often does your aunt visit?" He asked. He was really worried about her. But, she couldn't tell him that there are few guards hiding at every corner of the house. The security is top notch, thanks to her brothers. Her older brothers were way overprotective of her than her parents, especially her older brother who is a celebrity. If he knows that she brought a man home
Jaxon POVA few hours before I broke the news to Ruby. The night before, when I almost got intimate with Ruby. I could have sworn I lost control when I got on top of her body. I touched, kissed and did whatever to her body. But, she left before I could go even deeper. The next morning, Felix came to pick me up. He helped me select my suit and also prepare breakfast. And while I was with him, I forgot I wasn't wearing any gloves."The deadline with the design submission is tomorrow morning, boss. How do you plan on selecting the best designs?" "I already have someone in mind. I'm just giving her the opportunity to shine before her colleagues" I replied. Felix was silent for some seconds before he spoke again. It looked like he was cautious. "It's the red haired lady. Ruby, was it?" He asked. I stared at him, before humming a reply."I heard she's bad news. She's rumoured to be hot tempered" he added. "Don't listen to rumours, Felix. She's very good with her hands and trust me, you'
Ruby's POVJaxon was looking forward to continuing this relationship in a more intimate way. That's his way, but not mine. All I want is to use him and prove to my parents that I can get a husband without their help. His heavy body leaning on mine, was making it really difficult for me to breathe properly. He's really seducing me and I feel it's working. I really want him to touch me. But, if it happens, it would be the second time sleeping with this man. My ex-boyfriend's uncle. I know I'm not cheating, it just feels weird. A sigh escaped my lips as I shook the thoughts off my head. I've agreed to it, there's no going back. "What are you thinking of when I'm in front of you?" His voice snapped me back to reality. His bare chest that was exposed in front of me. It's so clean and hard. "Do you want me to strip you naked also?" He added. "Get off" I shoved him aside. He landed on the couch and I moved away from him. He smirked, staring at his palm. "Your body is really soft, Ruby.
Ruby's POV Maya held onto me as we left the company. I never wanted her to act like my personality soldier, but she preferred to. The rumours about me grew even worse thanks to Jaxon buying me a dress. How did they know he bought it for me? "Hey, I know you're not worried about your reputation. But, you can't let these folks look down on you" She said to me, wearing a worried look on her face. Maya had always been the one worried on my behalf. I still don't get what she wants me to do. Walk up to them and hit them or use my daddy's authority to get them fired. That'll definitely expose my secret, which I have to hide for the next two and a half months. "I'm fine, Maya""I'm not" she frowned, clenching her fist. I sighed as we got outside the company. I slowly looked around and slipped something into my pocket before shoving it into her palm. "Why don't you spend some time alone? That'll clear your mind""You're giving me your black card? Seriously? Do you think I'm just going to
Jaxon's POVThat white dress looked perfect on Ruby. I made a great choice. With her looking like that, I guess the rumour about her would reduce even more. I was staring at the computer screen, waiting for the meeting hour. On the other hand, I still couldn't wait for tomorrow. I would be able to touch Ruby and maybe, cure myself. What if it doesn't work? What if it's just a waste of time?No! I can't think negative today! Ruby should be able to help me. She must be able to help me. I'm desperate, desperate to get my hands on my father's property, desperate to find my mother's killer and also, desperate to get my revenge. I need help for all of that, more help than I can count. For now, I'm alone. No one is on my side...yet. "Sir..." Felix called. He had a worried look on his face. I turned to look at him, as he held onto some documents. He is already preparing for the meeting that's starting in about ten minutes. He really is a hard-working assistant. "That dress, did you buy it
