My Cold Boss
Chapter 20

"You. What do you want to come here?" asked Ruby who was shocked as well as emotionless. "Dad! Robbie! Get this guy out of our house!" ruby shouted at the sister.

"I'm here, brother. Take it easy, he will not be able to dare to mess around," said Robby who turned out to be in front of the room of the brother.

"Ruby, I want to apologize" the man said.

"Nothing to forgive. Now leave. Get out of my room. I'm busy, not to be bothered," Ruby kicked out. The arrival of his former lover was more powerful than a cup of coffee, able to make his drowsiness disappear instantly.

"Ruby, please, give me a chance to talk" asked the man who was none other than Ricko, Ruby's ex-lover.

Ruby looked at the former traitor with carelessness. "Rick, I think there's nothing more between us to talk about. Didn't you end it all a few years ago. So I guess everything's been over since you left me for another woman who says more everything than me."

The bitter memories of the past made Ruby smile wryly. The arrival of his uninvited guest was able to make his head dizzy because of his work that piled up so the more dizzy.

"Ruby, I'm sorry. I'm really sorry. It turns out he's not as good as I thought." Ricko tried to hold Ruby's hand but the girl brushed her hand away quickly.

"Rick, please go. I don't want to hear that shit anymore" Ruby said. "Robby! Get this man out of our house!" then he shouted at his sister.

"Good, Brother." Robby quickly gets in and drags Ricko out of Ruby's room, no matter if Ricko still wants to stay.

Ruby covered her face with both hands then sat back in her chair. Ricko's arrival made his mood worse.

"What's wrong with your eyes, Secretary Ruby? Have you been sleeping less lately?" ask Aresh. It sounds like he is mocking.

Ruby smiled forced. He knew that Aresh was just mocking him. "Please check everything, sir. I've been trying to get everything done in three days, so I only sleep 2 hours every night."

Ruby put a stack of files on the table top with 2 pieces of flash.

"All right, good job. What's my schedule today?" ask Aresh.

Ruby then explained that at 10 am and 2 pm there will be meetings with clients in different places.

"Hey, wake. We've arrived." Aresh patted Ruby's cheek while leaning on her shoulder. "Hey, Secretary Ruby, get up."

Ruby blinked her eyes when she felt a hand touching her cheek, and she heard Aresh's voice calling out his name.

'Gosh.' Ruby's eyes immediately opened wide when she was aware of something.

"Ma-sorry, Sir. I didn't accidentally," Ruby said as she fixed her sitting position.

"You sleep so well, does sleeping on my shoulder feel so comfortable, hm?" Aresh said with a smirk smile.

"I'm sorry, sir. I really didn't mean it." Ruby was embarrassed. I'm sorry he didn't sit next to the driver.

"Come on, get down, 10 minutes from time the meeting starts" Aresh said, then get off the car first.

Ruby and Aresh walk into the hotel building, but accidentally cross paths with someone.

"Pak Aresh, Secretary of Ruby, what a coincidence that we met here," said the person smiling kindly. "Geez, Ruby, why are your eyes so blackened like this?" he added and without permission cupped Ruby's face. "Have you never slept since I came to your house last night?" asked the man again who was none other than Ricko.

"Take it off." Ruby brushed aside Ricko's hands cupping her cheeks.

While Aresh, he looked at the two alternately with a dislike gaze then stepped first towards the elevator. "Hurry up Secretary Ruby or you I'll stay."

"Tu-wait a minute, sir," Ruby said. "Rick, I'm warning you, yes, next time don't touch me recklessly, or I'll make you regret it." After warning Ricko, Ruby immediately runs after Aresh.

While the two were in the elevator, Aresh asked Ruby, "What is your relationship with the CEO of Green Heels? Why would he come to your house?"

Instead of answering, Ruby was silent. That certainly makes Aresh become upset. "Why shut up? You're deaf, aren't you?"

"I think I have no obligation to answer when it comes to my personal domain and not about work" replied Ruby who turned to look at her sharply.
