” I thought you were a humble and kindhearted person. But I was wrong about you. You are a wicked man with a good mask. ” she said, fuming in anger.

It took a few seconds for Steven to analyze the situation and understand what happened in his absence. He saw her teary eyes and appreciated that she showed her emotions without crying.

” Ruby…I didn’t mean it ” Steven tried to explain to her. Before he could say anything, Ruby stormed out of the room with a heavy heart.

Ruby never thought of such a situation in her life. Steven ran after her to apologize as he took the situation in the wrong way. He saw her walking out with tears rolling on her cheeks. 

” Ruby, wait. Please don’t go. I am sorry! ” He said with full remorse. She turned back and looked at him.

” You are my secretary. You don’t need to sleep with my client. I misunderstood the situation. I will take care of everything” Steven said with a firm face.

” Do you think I don’t have feelings?” She asked if her voice was shaky.

” I didn’t mean to offend you, Ruby. I feel sorry about what happened” He said softly.

‘ I don’t want to talk to you. I don’t want to talk to anyone. I am not in the mood to listen to anything from you. I will go, “she cried.

” Please, don’t go. You are the best secretary I have ever appointed” He said.

He took quick strides and stood in front of her. He wiped the tears on her cheeks and hugged her. 

” I am sorry, Ruby,” he whispered in her ears.

She cried on his chest as she was controlling the pain in her heart. He stroked her hair slowly to console her. She closed her eyes and her shoulders relaxed on his chest. Then she felt his warm breath on her neck.

” Ruby, don’t think so much. I am here with you to take care of you. You should be strong that there will be many situations to face in our life, “he said.

She broke the hug and looked at him with misty eyes.

Before she realized he pressed his lips on her forehead. She closed her eyes and enjoyed the warmth of his lips on her skin.

” I know you are hurting. I will take care of you. Just don’t cry for what happened” He said as he kissed her forehead again.

She looked at him and she felt she wanted to forget everything with his soothing words.

” Thank you for caring for me and comforting me. I will work very hard and the best I can for you. But please don’t bring me to such clients” Ruby said lowering her head.

He held her wrist and dragged her inside the VIP room where the client was talking over the phone. Steven said to him, ” We are not interested in working with you.” Then he tore the business deal documents in front of his eyes. 

” Are you crazy? For a secretary, you are canceling my deal? It’s just a matter of one night to send her to me?” He questioned Steven.

” I respect my employees. Go and fuck who is of your type. ” He said in a stern voice and walked out still holding her hand.

They walked towards the car and reached the restaurant. Ruby entered the car and Steven drove the car to her house. Steven wanted to know what happened in the restaurant. He drove down the main roads as they entered the city. Finally, they arrived at her house and he parked his car. The house light was on. 

Steven looked at the house and thought it was similar to him but he didn’t recognize that he dropped Katherine at this place a few days back. 

” Please come in…” Ruby invited him when he was staring at the house. 

He followed her and entered the house. Then he saw the warmth of the lights from the living room. At the same time, Martin came to the living room. She introduced Steven as her boss, Steven Brown to Martin.

” He is Martin,” she introduced to Steven. 

Steven looked at him and stared at him for a few moments at his face. 

” Why is your boss looking at my face without blinking his eyes? Is he gay?” Steven whispered in Ruby’s ears.

Ruby rolled her eyes towards giving an irritating look to Martin. She pinched his arm without Steven’s notice.

” Ouch…” Martin hissed in pain due to the sudden digging of her sharp nails.

” You…devil…” Martin whisper yelled at her.

” Is anything wrong?” Steven asked them.

” Nothing…Steven. ” Ruby smiled silly and comforted him to sit on the sofa as it is his first visit.

She went to the kitchen to bring a coffee for Steven. Meanwhile, Katherine came to the place hearing sound from the hall.

“You….What are you doing here? Who invited you inside?” Katherine asked Steven as she recognized him as She hasn’t had any good opinion of him.

Ruby came to the hall with Katherine’s voice taking quick strides. She looked at Katherine and Steven confusingly then towards Martin.

” Do you know him?” Martin asked Katherine.

” We met once accidentally. How can I forget a beautiful lady like her? ” Steven informed with a smile.

” See…How he is talking? I don’t like him” Katherine said.

” Kathie…please stop it for god sake” Ruby requested with puppy eyes.

” Is he your boss?” Katherine exclaimed.

” That means you tell the person who is good and humble. Unbelievable ” Katherine said.

” It’s okay, Ruby. Your friend looks more beautiful when she is angry.”Steven said to make her angrier.

” If you are not our guest. I could teach you a good lesson. ” Katherine said gritting her teeth.

” Okay…I don’t want to upset you. I am leaving…” Steven informed and stood up to leave their home.

” I am very glad to meet you, Martin. Bye,” Steven said and walked out of their home whereas Ruby followed him feeling bad.

” Mr.Brown. I am extremely sorry on behalf of Katherine. I think she misunderstood you. She doesn’t know that you are such a nice person” Ruby said.

” Person becomes good or bad according to the situation. By the way, thank you that you have a good opinion on me” Steven said and hugged her suddenly.

” Sorry whatever happened in the restaurant.. Good night, ” he whispered in her ears and drove away in his car.
