Seeing Lily move quickly and steadily while aiming at Vidrian's head, Ruby smiled slightly. "Let your guns down, honey. We're here to talk business, not to kill people. You forget, killing is illegal?" Ruby said casually, as if seeing weapons or killing was natural, as if not wanting to see the dead in front of her but implying they could handle it outside when necessary.
Lily was surprised by Ruby's words. He said unhappily, "But Madam.."
"Sit, Lily! Calm yourself." Ruby picked up her bag and placed it on the table before patting the chair beside her, hinting for Lily to obey her orders.
Lily hesitated for a moment before storing her gun and sitting obediently beside Ruby, not refuting anymore.
"Good, Lily. I'll add your bonus this month." That's what Ruby likes about Lily, which is the girl's obedience. Cruel yet submissive. Someone like Lily is all she needs to be her best friend.
Lily nodded. "Thank you, Madam. You are very generous."
Vidrian's assistant, Carl, breathed a sigh of relief after the gun was lowered. He knew his boss, Vidrian was a madman, but he did not expect anything crazier than Vidrian. That makes him nervous. He did not even get a chance to pull out his weapon and the other party was ready to take aim.
Carl turned his head, whispering something in Vidrian's ear, "Master, please calm yourself down. We cannot bear the consequences of offending Mrs Diedrich." Although inwardly very nervous, he reminded calmly.
Vidrian nodded small. He knew he had gone too far. Just because of Rubika, he lost control of her. And it never happened twice, but it has happened many times. But this time it was his fault. He forgot that the woman in front of him was the most powerful woman in the Diedrich Group.
"Sorry, Madam, our Master is a little agitated. Please forgive his distasteful attitude," Carl apologized sincerely, on behalf of Vidrian.
"Anges?" Ruby chuckles. "It's funny. I think your Master is not agitated, but lost his mind."
Carl was surprised to hear this. Ruby is really something. Frankly saying Vidrian was crazy, uhuk uhuk, lost his mind, should he give a compliment to the woman?
Vidrian's face blackened. Yet he framed his frustration with a small smile. "I'm sorry, I'm too emotional. I pushed myself too much. I've been acting impulsive." This time Vidrian apologized personally for his own wishes. Not only that, he even changed his language style from non-formal to formal.
From the beginning, Vidrian did not use formal language because he thought Ruby was Rubika. But when he realized the distant difference between the two women, he felt an undescribed complicated feeling.
In addition, Ruby actually considers her only as a business partner, perhaps less but definitely no more. And his status is certain.
"Mrs we are very generous. Of course the Madam will forgive the unpleasant actions you have done. But you have to remember, there's no other time" Lily opened her voice. He could feel Ruby's dissatisfaction in the two people in front of him. But when Ruby asks him to lower the gun, it means Ruby gives them a chance. Given Ruby's cruelty but nothing happened, they really had to thank her for her kindness.
"Thank you, I won't repeat the same mistake" Vidrian responded wisely.
Vidrian's thoughtful response left Carl dumbfounded.
Carl couldn't help but stare at Ruby. How similar is Ruby to Mrs Rubika? Although Carl knows Mrs Rubika is the ex-wife of the boss who divorced eight years ago, he never once met her. Don't meet, not even look at the picture.
Now Carl is curious, the woman who made his boss turn from a wolf into a pathetic little cat, is it really that similar to Ruby?
"Indeed, it is very easy to promise something, but it is quite difficult to keep it. Am I right, sir?" Ruby looked at Vidrian while touching the diamond ring that was coiled on her ring finger.
It was his wedding ring to Osvaldo.
Even after three years of her disappearance, Ruby never once took off their wedding ring. For him all that Osvaldo gives is something he must take care of. Even a worthless item, if the man gave it away, would become a priceless treasure.
Vidrian almost choked on his own saliva. Ruby's words were like deliberately targeting her and it was right piercing in her heart. As if his weakness was known to others, Vidrian's emotions were slightly provoked.
Ruby smiled slightly then turned to the side. "Don't you see how distressed this Master is with that little question, Lily?" Her voice was too loud to be categorized as a whisper, so not only did Lily hear, but Vidrian and Carl could also hear her clearly.
Vidrian's expression turned ugly. Not enough to silence by using his weak point, now Ruby even sneered at him blatantly. That woman, is she really willing to fight him?
Lily nodded small. "You're right, Madam. This master doesn't look well today, that's why this Master can't answer that question." Not physically unhealthy, but mentally unhealthy. Attacked by Ruby blatantly, who can still survive and not be mentally ill?
Ruby couldn't help but laugh. Isn't Lily too straightforward? Brightly allow the sneer? But Ruby likes even very fond of Lily's task.
"As the company that will provide the most resources, you are the boss. You have every right to do whatever you like" Lily added. The point is, as long as Ruby's happy, anything is okay. Never attack verbally, attack nonverbally is not a problem. No matter what he said or not, Ruby was always right.
Ruby nodded slowly. "All right, I get it." Although Diedrich Group and SVN have never been involved in business before, but to develop businesses in new sectors, it does not matter which company Diedrich Group cooperates with. But no matter how great SVN is, as long as Ruby is the boss, fine then.
Vidrian and Carl glanced at each other. From the beginning they had expected talking about business with women to be much more difficult than talking about business with men, but they had not expected talking directly with the big boss of the Diedrich Group to be this difficult.
If not given that the only suitable corporate candidate to work with SVN is the Diedrich Group, Vidrian will definitely not tolerate what Ruby does. Vidrian had already humbled himself to a very low level. But look how powerful Ruby is? All her humility seemed meaningless to the woman.
In the end, Vidrian was helpless.
Not because he couldn't fight back, but because he felt he couldn't fight this woman. His instincts say, Ruby is his Rubika. So, no matter how cruel Ruby is, she'll always give her leeway.
