She woke up when her stomach was making noise with hunger. She was scared to go alone to order the food. So she knocked on Steven''s room door.


    " Come in…" he said.


    " Ohh...Ruby. Why are you here? Do you need anything? " He asked.


    " Shall we go to dinner?" She asked him.


    " Let me order the food to be delivered to our rooms," he said, sipping his whiskey.


    " You are looking so happy," Ruby said.


    " Yes...Ruby. I am so happy. This deal gives us more turnover to ourpany. " He said and all of sudden lifted Ruby in his arms. Then twirled her with excitement.


    Even though she was shocked, to bnce herself, she ced her hands around his neck.


    " Let''s celebrate…" he ced her down on her feet then served whiskey in another ss.


    " No. I don''t want to drink. You know, I can''t tolerate alcohol. " She denied.


    " What Ruby? Don''t you want to share my happiness? Huh!! The only peg...okay " he said and gave her a ss of whiskey.


    Meanwhile, the room boy arranged a table on the balcony and ced food on it. They enjoyed the dinner enjoying the city view.


    As Ruby was hungry, shepleted her food without looking out.


    " Is there any other office work? " Ruby asked suddenly.


    "Nope.." he replied.


    " If you arefortable, we can explore ces around. What do you say?" Steven asked.b


    " Yes. I will feel bored staying alone in the room" she said.


    " Okay then get ready at sharp 9 in the morning. We will go out " he said.


    " Okay."


    " Good night," she said and went to her room.


    Sheid on the bed thinking of the incidents that happened in the morning.


    …..


    .....


    Katherine joined in her work even though Martin insisted she stay at home to take some rest. When ites to Adrian, she will be so possessive.


    ….


    Adrian was so delighted to see her in thepany. But he felt guilty that she had to work with the burned hand. The day was busy with client meetings and other important things. She tried her best to go to his cabin as she knew about him.


    " Please bring one coffee…" Adrian ordered Kathie over the inte.


    She knew it was willingly disturbing her. She sighed and went to bring him coffee.


    When he entered his cabin, it was Mr. Green and Adrian''s mother, Maria in his cabin.


    " Two more cups of coffee please…" he said looking at them.


    She nodded and left to bring coffee for them.


    When she entered the cabin, she heard Mr. Green talking about the wedding dates of Emily and Adrian. On the other side, Adrian was asking them to wait till Emily returned. She quietly ced the coffee on the work table and left his cabin without looking at Adrian.


    She sat in the cabin while silent tears flowing from her eyes. She wiped her tears and got busily checking the emails on theptop.


    " Mom...I and Emily already told you to wait for a few months. Why are you both rushing things? " Adrian asked in irritation.


    " Adrian...what we are doing is for your good. It''s not good to stay away from each other after engagement for more days. You are young. Enjoy your life. " Mr. Green suggested.


    "The first talk with your daughter then take the decision," Adrian said rudely to Mr. Green.


    " We don''t want to talk anymore. We will fix the date of your wedding" Maria, his mother said her decision and came out of the cabin.


    ...


    As soon as she came out of the cabin, she saw Katherine and observed her.


    " I saw her somewhere. But where?" She thought in her mind but she could not remember.


    " Shall we go?" Mr. Green asked Maria.


    They left the ce with a serious face.


    ...


    " You are strong...Kathie. Don''t cry. Feel happy thinking about him, at least he will be happy in the future. " She consoled her heart.


    She lost her appetite. She skipped her lunch which Martin prepared for her. Afterpleting her work, she checked the time.


    She arranged her things in her handbag and stood up to leave. She got a call on the inte. She knew how it was.


    " Miss. Davis. Still, you have ten minutes to leave. I want you in my cabin" Adrian said in a serious tone.


    " I don''t want toe" she denied.


    " If Ie to your cabin and whatever happens over there then don''t me me." He threatened.


    Just in time, David came to meet her.


    " Katherine, shall I drop you at your home?" He asked her.


    She thought for a while and said," Can you wait for me for ten minutes. I have to inform Mr. Wilson before leaving home"


    " Sure. I will wait for you" he said as she agreed toe with him.


    When she stepped in, she was caged by two manly hands from behind.


    " I am fighting against my mom to stop this wedding. I am trying hard to make you mine. "


    " But you are treating me like a gue. Why are you doing this to me? Where is my Kathie who used to be crazy for me? " he questioned gritting his teeth.


    " I told you many times, I am not interested in you. " She said firmly


    Then she continued " If you leave me, I have to go home. Hope now office hours arepleted" looking at the clock hanging on the wall.


    " It hard to believe to see my kind-hearted angel changed to the cruel witch," he said losing his grip on her.


    " Why is it hard for you to ept marrying Miss. Green? You are already engaged to her. Is it because you find me now? Huh?"


    " If you loved me truly then you never expect anyone to marry. You are engaged to her, it means your love is not sincere for me " she said.


    " So don''t say that I am the reason for your problem. Let me go, David is waiting for me outside" she informed and pushed him.


    " Run as much as you can. But I will make you mine hook or crook. I will make sure to punish you for torturing me " he said when she ced her hand on the doorknob to open the door.


    She smiled weakly and left his cabin.
