Ruby texted that she wouldn’t be able to show up at school because she felt too worn out; she wanted to take the day off. I guess I’m alone today.
After I finished classes, I left for the VIP parking lot. I got into the van, and Charles took the wheel. He started the vehicle and began to drive out of the lot, but we’d barely gotten anywhere before he suddenly hit the brakes, causing to fall off the seat.
"My apologies, Ms. I didn’t an to do that," he quickly apologized.
"What happened?" I groaned as I returned to my seat.
"A woman suddenly jumped in front of the vehicle," he explained.
"Is she hurt?"
"No, I was able to stop before I could hit her."
"Well, see what she wants; if she demands money, you call the cops."
"Yes." Charles left the vehicle and returned three minutes later.
"Um... She said she wants to speak to you."
"? Who is she?"
"I don’t know who she is; she claims to know you."
"Is she not trying to demand money?"
"No, she’s not. She claims to know Alpha Cooper; her na is Freya."
"Freya?" I frowned.
"Yes, Ms."
Don’t tell it’s what I think it is.
"I’m not getting down; ask her to co in," I requested.
"Okay," Charles spoke to her; she entered the vehicle the next second and sat in the chair before .
She sniffed and wiped her tears.
Has she been crying? What is this about?
"Yes, how may I help you?" I lowered my cell phone and settled my gaze on her.
She took her hand to her face and wiped her tears again.
"Cooper transferred to a smaller branch; the branch is in a different city. He said he doesn’t want to see again," she said.
"So? What does that have to do with ?" I furrowed my brows as I stared at her.
"You told him to do that, didn’t you? You got angry about what I said and pressured him to fire ."
"Is that what Cooper told you? Did he tell you that I got upset?"
"No, he got mad at because I approached you. He already warned not to speak to you; I ignored his words."
"So? Why are you speaking to then? If you have any issues with Cooper, please address them directly with him. Don’t ever do this; don’t jump in front of a moving vehicle."
"I couldn’t help it; I had to speak to you." She adjusted her hair, tucking it behind her ear. "I’ve been waiting in the lot to speak to you. I ca here three hours ago."
Three? What is wrong with her?
"I have a request, and I also have a question." After arranging her hair, she focused her attention on .
"About Cooper, can you ask him to transfer back to the main branch? I can’t bear the idea of not seeing him. I can’t handle it; I’ll seriously die if I don’t see him as much as I used to. I don’t care if he takes back; I just want to see him from afar. I’ll be satisfied by just seeing him. I’ll be satisfied by his re shadow."
"Kindly put in a request for . I know he likes and listens to you, so he’ll grant your request."
"I have a question—I’m truly curious about this. About the brothers, who will you end up with? Is it Cooper? Will you end up with him? Your bond with him seems strong; I’m very curious."
"Will you forget Cooper if I respond positively to your question? Will you stop seeing him?"
"I... uh... I don’t think so. I love him too much. It’s like I said before, I’ve loved him for four years. In those four years, I desperately yearned for his attention. I love Cooper; I don’t think I’ll be able to forget him."
"Your question is aningless then; what’s the point of asking if you plan on seeing him?"
"I won’t see him. He already sent away. He ended things and transferred to a smaller branch."
"Get off; it’s ti to go."
"What?"
"I need to leave; get off."
"You haven’t given an answer to my question."
"I answered your question."
"What about my request? Do you promise to grant it?"
"Why would I grant your request? I’m not crazy."
"What?!" She frowned. "You won’t help ?"
"Get off; I won’t repeat myself."
She scoffed. "Who do you think you are? You’re just a little girl who lived in poverty all her life. You tasted wealth, and you’ve beco so greedy. You want everything to be yours. What sort of greed is that?"
"Oh, I see. You also want a share of this wealth that I am enjoying," I chuckled. I think I understand her now. She doesn’t want Cooper; she wants his money.
"What?! Don’t speak to in that manner. I’m not your mate." "I am not as selfish as you; I know how to share."
"Charles," I called, "please help her out of this vehicle."
"Yes, Ms."
Charles opened the door and escorted her out.
"You’ll pay for this; I’ll make you regret your actions," she vowed just as the door closed.
Charles started the car and began to drive out of the parking lot.
"Charles," I called.
"Yes."
"I have a different destination in mind. Take to Ruby’s apartnt. She lives alone with her brother, but I’m sure she’s the only one at ho now. I want to study with her."
"Yes, Ms."
"You know where she lives, right?"
"I do. I also know your ho address. I know the ho addresses of your siblings."
"Okay." I’m not surprised; the brothers likely provided him with the information, and as he ntioned, he has been working as a patrol guard for them for a while. I’m sure he is used to seeing with Ruby.
We arrived at Ruby’s building; I got out of the car and took the elevator to Ruby’s floor. After getting to her floor, I walked to her apartnt and knocked.
"Ruby! Are you there? I’m here to see you. Ruby!" I knocked.
Wait, there’s a bell. I pressed the bell twice and waited, but when I didn’t get a response, I opened my phone, went to WhatsApp, and sent her a text.
"I’m in front of your door. Open up."
The text went through, but I didn’t get a response.
Ruby once texted her house password. Where is it? I scrolled through our chat, and after intense searching, I discovered the password.
I unlocked the door and went in; I went straight to her room afterwards.
"Ruby," I called, opening the door to see if she was in, but I was surprised by the scene I saw.
