CHAPTER 21DAX’S POVThe elevator stopped when we got to our destination and I watched the doors slide open before I walked out right after the secretary who led the way but with her head bowed as she avoided my gaze and I was glad that I got her to stop running her mouth and not try to get my attention.We were about to take the next turn when a familiar voice called my name and I stopped in my tracks, surprised that he was also in Denmark and in the same company that was pitching for a partnership with my company at the same time.Turning around to face him with a face void of any emotion, Dennis smiled at me, probably to piss me off but I felt nothing but indifference because he was that irrelevant to me. Looking at him, I couldn’t help but wonder what made me make him a friend of mine years ago because it all turned out to be a waste of time since he was never of help to me.“Surprised to see me, Dax?” he asked and I tucked my hands into my pockets before staring him down.“What

CHAPTER 22RUBY’S POVI was still trying to figure out what to wear for my date with Dax when Sally returned from school and she bolted straight for my room.“Mum, I'm back” she yelled in a sing-song voice as she ran into my arms for a hug and I laughed when she unexpectedly kissed me on the cheek.“What was that for? That was sudden” I asked her while I still laughed and she giggled.“We were told by our teacher to give our mums a big kiss on the cheeks when we get home” she answered and I felt my heart flutter as I smiled at her while gently running my fingers through her hair.“Well, I'll have to thank your teacher for that. That was sweet of you, Sally” I told her and she got shy as she used her tiny hands to shield her face so I wouldn't see her blush. I laughed at how cute she could be before I pulled her hands away and kissed her on the cheek too then I smiled at her again.“A kiss for my angel,” I told her and she smiled widely on hearing me call her my angel. Then she looked

CHAPTER 233RD POV“Here is a glass of water. I'm sure you're thirsty” Clarissa offered Simon a glass of water that she held toward him and he gave her a stunned look.It was already minutes after she told him that Ruby was going to take a few minutes to get dressed before following him to join Dax and she figured he might need a glass of water since he had refused to take a seat and filled the living room with his huge presence.“Thanks, I guess” he muttered as he reluctantly took the water, surprised that she could be kind enough to do that even after all the times they didn't get along.He was about to drink the water when he paused and looked at Clarissa who was watching him closely from where she sat.“This isn't poisoned right?” he asked suspiciously and she laughed at his question.“Why will I poison you, Simon? Dax is definitely going to throw me behind bars if I kill his beloved bodyguard and besides, just because we argued a few times here and there isn't a reason to make me

CHAPTER 24RUBY’S POVThe drive to meet Dax was very quiet and Simon didn't exchange a word with me. I assumed he was going to after seeing him converse with Clarissa but I guessed that wasn't the case for me.Clarissa was obviously an exception and just as I suspected right from the start, they both had a thing for each other and were trying to suppress it but I knew it would do them no good. Life was too short to waste it on keeping your feelings to yourself.We finally arrived at our destination and I got out of the car before Simon could come over to open the door for me.Then I saw Dax waiting for me at the entrance of the building and our eyes met.“I'll take you over to meet him, Miss. Ruby” Simon said politely and I broke eye contact with Dax to look at him and smiled.“Of course, thanks” I replied and together, still in silence, we walked toward Dax and he held his hand out for me when we met up with him.“Are you excited?” he asked and I huffed in response before walking past

CHAPTER 25DAX’S POVI was nervous, I wouldn't deny it. My heart kept pulsating as my hands trembled while I waited for Ruby to show up. So I tucked my hands into my pockets and paced back and forth inside the waiting room in an attempt to calm myself down.I did a little shopping myself too, just to look good for Ruby so she wouldn't get distracted by any other man while we were out on our date. I wanted her eyes on only me so I had to look the part.Ruby’s shopping and makeover had taken hours and now, it was already dark which meant we were going to be just in time for our date and I wondered probably for the millionth time, if she would like the way I had it all planned out.Someone knocked on the door to the waiting room and it was pushed open the moment I turned to look.I was lost for words when I saw Ruby and it was a struggle, searching for the perfect word to describe how stunning she looked. Thin tendrils of her hair graced the sides of her face in wavy curls while the res

CHAPTER 26RUBY’S POVDax was teasing me again. He didn't have to place his finger against my lips to shush me up but he did, was it when he playfully threaded his fingers across my back, Or when he pushed my hair back even though he didn't have to?He was clearly teasing me and it greatly affected me too. I took a look at him as he sat across from me in the backseat while Simon drove and he looked at me too before I could look away.“Is something wrong?” he asked softly, his deep voice washing over me and gracing my skin with goosebumps while he wrapped his hand around my fingers and gently squeezed.I shook my head and looked out the window before I got lost in his eyes while he kept on playing with my fingers, probably in an attempt to calm me down.“I'm fine. I'm just curious to know where we are heading” I replied while I stole a glance back at him only to see him smiling to himself.“I know you're not telling so I won't ask,” I told him and he scooted closer to me in the car th

CHAPTER 27RUBY’S POVDax didn’t say a single word to me all through the drive home and when Simon finally arrived at my driveway, I moved to get out of the car and Dax held my hand. I looked at him and he stared at me with pleading eyes without saying anything.Still feeling numb and finding it hard to trust him at the moment, I pulled my hand out of his without uttering a word and opened the door then I got out and walked toward my porch with shaky legs and a subsiding panic attack.I got to the front door before Simon drove into their driveway and that was when the dam broke. The tears fell in torrent and I heaved hard while a hole caved its way in my heart and the numbness faded. Even after dumping me, everything Dax did still hurt me.Why did it have to happen on a night that I was on a date with him? Why did it have to be Dax? Why him all the time? I fell to my knees and clutched onto my chest in an attempt to ease the ache I felt but nothing happened and it even hurt more pain

CHAPTER 28RUBY’S POVIt was still so early in the morning and my phone was ringing out loud nonstop. I reached for it with sleepy eyes and without looking at the caller ID, I picked the call up and placed it against my ear.“Hello?” I spoke with a croaky voice and I heard a snicker from the other side.“Why are there so many pictures of you and Dax splashed across so many media outlets and I haven't heard anything from you yet, Ruby? Were you both on a date?” Dennis’s voice came through and what he just said woke me up immediately and I quickly sat up in bed.“What? Wait a minute. What pictures are you talking about?” I asked him while trying to make sense of what he just said and he chuckled.“Do you mean you have no idea that there are pictures of you and Dax all over the internet? Aren’t you both back together already? Don’t mess this deal up for me, Ruby” he fired more questions that made me even more confused and I got down from my bed.“You know what, Dennis? Why don’t I call yo

CHAPTER 29RUBY’S POV“Are you alright? I came to check up on you” Dax asked me once I opened the door and our eyes met and I nodded in response before letting him and Simon in. Then I walked over to a chair and sat down before urging them to sit too.They did and we all remained silent for a while as I avoided Dax’s stare. It felt like he was looking into my soul and it felt weird to have him worry about me. I had been fine for eight years without him so I didn’t want his worry now. He could keep it to himself.“Ruby, I…” he was about to speak when I held my hand up to stop him and he ceased talking.“I know what you’re about to talk about but Sally is home and I don’t want her to know anything about what is going on. She’s too young so we can talk after she’s gone to school” I told him and he understood immediately so he nodded and sat back in the chair he occupied.I watched him as he shifted his hips and left his legs apart while he sat and I felt my throat go dry as I ogled him s

CHAPTER 30RUBY’S POVSally finally left for school after I was able to stop her from talking about Dax liking me but Dax still had a smile on his face even after she was gone. I could tell he was thinking about what Sally said and I hoped he wouldn't question me about it.Breakfast was finally ready and we all sat at the dining table to eat in silence but I could still sense the chemistry flowing between Clarissa and Simon whenever they spoke, made eye contact, or mistakenly brushed hands when they reached for something on the table.So I used them as a means of distraction to ignore Dax who was right beside me because I knew that once this breakfast was over, we were going to talk about the unavoidable and we were either going to find a solution or end up fighting.I had a feeling that we would most likely end up fighting considering the question I had in mind for Dax but who knew? Maybe he wouldn’t fight with me as I expected. We finished eating and I packed the dirty dishes along
