So, she lowered the heat of what she was cooking and hurriedly went to the door.As she opened the door, she was taken aback to see Adam standing outside her apartment. He was still dressed in the same clothes he had on in since morning, which made her certain that Adam did an over time in the company. His face clearly showed signs of exhaustion."Hey!" she greeted him. She look around and opened the door wider. "Get in."When he finally entered, she immediately confronted Adam. "What are you doing here? I thought you were mad and didn't want to see me? Besides, I already mentioned earlier that I would just send the dinner I cooked for you.""Nothing." He shrugged. Then, took off his coat and sat on her sof
"WHERE the hell is he?" Ruby exclaimed. Meanwhile, she heard a noise, she turned around and if she wasn't mistaken, it came from her room. She quickly went to the room and was surprised to see Adam there, holding a picture frame with her two-piece photo."Oh my God! What are you doing here?" she exclaimed, grabbing the frame.He raised an eyebrow and said, "You look hot and gorgeous in that picture," with a hint of mockery in his voice."You're just being paranoid. I just want to talk to you, that's why I'm here," Adam replied after taking a deep breath. Ruby retorted, "Why are you here? You said you would wait in the living room. Let me guess... you have some evil plan again?"Adam looked deeply into her eyes, showing a mix of emotions that were hard to explain. Suddenly, the emotions disappeared, and he said, "I will go home now, bye."

She couldn't understand what he was saying."Nothing," he said, quickly avoiding her gaze. "Go to sleep, we need to go to the office tomorrow."She stared at him for a few seconds. Then she closed her eyes forcing herself to sleep. Ten seconds has passed, she heard him speak again. "On second thought, don't sleep yet. I still want to talk to you," he insisted.Annoyed, Ruby opened her eyes again. "What do you want to talk about now?"Adam pretended to think. "Hmm, how about we talk about you? Who was your first boyfriend?"“That’s easy. -------“Oh, why did you broked up?”"We ended our relationship because that man was unfaithful! Can you believe it, he was seeing four of us simultaneously.

ADAM, filled with frustration, as he threw his cellphone on the bed. "That woman is so annoying! I'm freaking looking forward to it, but just like that, she's sleepy! Really? Now? And who's dumb enough to believe that lie?" Then he pulled his own hair in frustration. His anger escalated even more when there's someone suddenly knock on his door."Sir Adam!" It was their maid's voice.He angrily opened the door. "What?""Sir, your mom.

Can you imagine how shocked I was when I called your phone and Ruby answered?”He face palmed. “Shit!” he whispered. “Mom, I give my phone to Ruby because-‘“Don’t you dare to lie to me, Adam!” She shouted at him again. "Ruby told me that you're flirting with her, an
RUBY joyfully headed to the office, her morning brightened by Adam. He embraced her all night as if she were the only woman he needs and wants. She felt something special in the way Adam embraced her last night. That's why she feels like the happiest woman in the world right now.Adam was no longer there when she woke up this morning, but her happiness was not diminished as he had left a note explaining that he has a meeting with an investor at the company.She was about to turn the doorknob of the office when someone called her name. It was Sapphire, her friend."Wait, Ruby!" Sapphire emphasized her name as she spoke.“What is it?”Approaching closely, she grabbed the doorknob. "Shhh, be quiet," her friend softly uttered, pressing a finger against her lips. "Hold on before entering, you might disturb them."She was confused. "Huh? What do you mean?"Sapphire pulled her away from the door before speaking again. "You're late! You have'nt seen the beautiful woman who entere
