CHAPTER 87DAX’S POVThe meeting I had with the shareholders and executives was heated. It felt like they were all after my head in the conference room while I answered several questions they threw at me and detailed out the solutions I had laid out for our company to recover from the hit we encountered.I also told them about my plan to find out who was behind the whole scheme of giving our plan away to Dennis’s company and most of them objected to the idea because they believed I was taking law into my hands. Some supported me due to how livid they were about losing such a huge partnership to such an incompetent company and when we were finally about to come to the end of the meeting, I looked them all in the eyes one after the other and let them all know that I was bent on searching for who gave us away so if they wanted it or not, I didn't care.With that, I walked out of the room while they all stared at me in silence. Regardless of their positions in the company, I was the CEO
CHAPTER 88DAX’S POV“So what job do you have for me? Does it have to do with the partnership you lost?” Simon asked me as I handed him a glass of water since it was working hours and I was against drinking while working.“Yes it has to do with the partnership I lost and I also think you should get your head back into working as my bodyguard instead of being Clarissa’s lover boyfriend all the time,” I told him and I grinned at him when he glared at me.“Don't call me that,” he snarled and I chuckled before taking my seat back on my chair.“Don't deny what you are, Simon. If you like her, then say it. But you should also not forget that you're working for me. It's nothing to be ashamed of. I love Ruby and I always say it” I said to him and he rolled his eyes before he drank the whole glass of water I gave him then he faced me.“Just cut the shit talk and tell me what job you have for me, Dax and I'm going to get serious about work so quit lecturing me” he snapped at me and I held back
CHAPTER 89RUBY’S POVI added the last touch to my makeup before my eyes met Clarissa’s through the mirror in my room and she watched me with adoration on her face.I couldn't help but smile to myself as I returned my brush to my purse then I wore my jewelry before I turned around to face her and she gave me a thumbs up with a wide smile.“You look great. Superb” she praised while clapping out loud and I laughed.“Thank you for the compliment but you'd better return to the hospital and stay with Sally. I'm sure she's waiting for you” I told her and she stood up from the bed after grabbing her phone from the bedside stand. “Just calm your nerves and I'm sure everything will be fine tonight, okay?” Clarissa told me, her hands placed on my shoulders to give me support when she noticed I was beginning to get lost in my thoughts again and I nodded while forcing a smile.With that, she patted me on the cheek and waved at me before she walked out of the room, leaving me alone in the dimly l
CHAPTER 90RUBY’S POV“You may think I have no idea what you've been up to but I keep up with the news, Ruby and I know what you've been doing,” Avery said to me as I stood by the door and watched her and she smirked knowingly.“I don't know what you're talking about,” I told her because I was clueless. I had no idea what she meant by keeping up with the news and knowing what I'd been up to.“Don't act so clueless, Ruby. I know you're dating Mr. Kellen. I saw your pictures on the front page of a magazine which was talking about your reunion and how good you both look together. I'm certain he doesn't know you're Magenta” she replied and I swallowed.How on earth did she find out when it was a New York magazine? Had she been monitoring me or was she interested in Dax and thought she could take him for herself?“You won't mention any of this to Mr. Kellen, Avery. He has no idea I'm Magenta and I intend to keep it that way for as long as I do this job” I told her and she held her hands up
CHAPTER 91RUBY'S POV I was relieved that I wouldn't have to keep such a huge secret away from Dax anymore, but Avery didn't feel the same way. She lost her shit once I told her what transpired between me and Dax in the performance room, and her eyes were so wild… like she was so close to murdering me for losing a potential customer like Mr. Kellen.“What the fuck did you do, Ruby? Did you tell him something that made him change his mind about coming here? Or aren't you satisfying him anymore? What the fuck happened?” She panicked with wide eyes and I couldn't speak.“Answer me!” She suddenly yelled and I flinched in reaction to how scaringly loud she was.“He said he's in love with someone. That it's his second chance with her and he doesn't want to ruin it again” I said and she scoffed.“Wasn't he talking about you? Aren't you the one whom everyone knows as the woman who reunited with him after breaking up eight years ago? You're Ruby and you're also Magenta. So if you know what's
CHAPTER 92DAX'S POV“Are you sure this is going to work, Dax? I think quitting wanting to see Magenta just to be faithful to Ruby is going to make work in that club harder for her. Her manager is certainly not going to like her anymore” Simon said to me as he drove us back to the house and I chuckled while looking out the car window.“That's what you think but Ruby wouldn't have to work there anymore by the time I'm done with what I have in mind” I told him and I turned to the rearview mirror.Our eyes met and he furrowed his eyebrows questioningly but I only widened my smile along with a shrug before I picked up my phone and texted someone just to be sure that my plan was perfect.I couldn't wait for the next day to arrive because apart from the fact that I was now back with Ruby, I planned to make things better for her. She wouldn't have to dance for sleazy and creepy men anymore in that club with a mask to hide her face.Instead, she was now going to own a job that she would go to
CHAPTER 93DAX'S POV “You're scaring me, Dax. Is something going on?” Ruby asked me when I didn't say anything yet and I smiled while shaking my head in response. There was absolutely nothing to be frightened about. Instead, she was going to be happy in a few seconds.“There's nothing to fret about, Ruby. I just have a surprise for you. Can you come outside with me for a while?” I asked her and she gave me a lingering look with suspicion all over her face before she gave in and stood up.“I'd like to know what's going so I'm coming with you” she said and I grinned before I followed her to stand up too. Then I took her hand and I smirked at Simon who was still watching me questioningly.They had no idea what was going on either and it felt good to see the curiosity on their faces as they watched me and Ruby. I bet they were wondering where I was taking her and why I was just whisking her away without any explanation. “We'd be back after a few minutes so you guys should wait here unti
CHAPTER 94RUBY'S POV Dax was unpredictable sometimes. When he had shown up at the club the previous night to tell me he was done being a customer for me as Magenta, I was losing my shit. I didn't know what to think or do.It was a relief that he was leaving because my secret wouldn't be found out anymore but it also meant I would have to go to the club every night and dance for men who disgusted me.It meant Avery was going to make work hellish for me since I lost our richest client who always filled her pockets with money but now? I didn't see myself living that life anymore. I didn't see myself living through the frustration, harassment, and many reasons to cry on many nights any longer. I could have a job I loved now while learning my dream skill at the same time… All thanks to Dax, I could finally quit being a masked dancer in a club.I never thought he was taking notes when he asked me what my dream job was back in New York. I only thought he was curious to know more about my
