Mommy...Can you Win Daddy's Love again?

She could not control her temper and stopped blocking Katherine's way, placing her hand in the air.

They both were unaware that Adrian was hearing everything from the other side of the door.

Katherine fisted her hand, controlling her anger, glaring at her.

" What is your problem? If you are not interested in enjoying life then why are you interfering in others' matters? " Jessica asked her.

" Do you know what you are talking about? Remember in your mind, He is the fiance of Miss. Green and our boss. Better if you are in your limits" Katherine suggested.

" Why? What happened to you? Are you jealous that Mr.Wilson is interested in me but not in you? " she asked with a wicked smile.

" I don't owe any explanation to a bitch like you. " Katherine retorted.

" How dare you call me bitch? Jessica screamed and raised her hand to slap Katherine.

Katherine held her hand and twisted her hand at her back before she slapped her with her left hand. Jessica was stunned by her action. Her grip was tight on her wrist and Jessica was wriggling. But Katherine seemed to be like a boiling Volcano.

" Do you think I don't know about you. ? Huh!!" She shouted at Jessica.

" I know everything about you, how you change a man every week in your life just like a bedsheet on the bed," she said with disgust.

" Stay away from Mr.Wilson. If you try to create a problem between Mr. Wilson and Miss. Green with your dirty intentions. I swear that you will see the other side of me. " Katherine warned her before Jessica came out of her shock.

From the other side, Adrian was enjoying her anger as he sensed how jealous and possessive about him. But he was getting mad thinking why she was running away from him being so crazy for him. 

It was the first time Jessica evident Katherine's furious side. She could not utter a single word from her mouth. She felt humiliated by her insult as David and another employee heard her words. She felt embarrassed by her insult.

" If you don't change your behavior. I have a right to terminate you from your job as an HR head of this company" she gave the final ultimatum to Jessica.

With her words, Jessica seriously walked out of that place.

" What happened? David asked Katherine looking at her burned hand.

" Nothing." She said with a serious face.

" Oaky. How is your health? " David asked, touching her hand.

" Good. I am joining back in the office for work tomorrow" she said.

As soon as Adrian heard David's voice, he came out of his cabin. He pretended as if he didn't know what happened a few minutes back. He saw David and the other employee outside her cabin.

He looked at David and questioned him, " what are you doing here?"

" That….I am here to know about Katherine's health" he stammered.

" Okay. I want everyone to go back to their respective work" Adrian said in a strict tone.

David and the other employee were standing and left the place on seeing Adrian's serious face.

" Mr. Wilson, I think it's better if you also behave professionally with your employees," she suggested.

" Yeah. You are right. But if one of the employees is the love of my life" he whispered leaning towards her.

She glared at him and walked out without looking back. But he stood with a victorious smile watching her.

" Mr. Brown...Just now we received the email from Wrightson Exports and Imports" Ruby informed Steven.

Steven and Ruby had been busy with the Contract for a long time. The Contract Was for Shipping Manufacturing. It was the Biggest Contract they had ever had. They were very excited to get it. They were going to get a lot of profit with this project.

" Arrange the meeting and finalize the date for the contract" Steven informed her.

" It is done. The meeting will be in thirty minutes" she answered.

" very well done." He appreciated her.

 After a discussion with the client, he informed her to book two tickets to Florida and rooms to stay.

" We have to start tomorrow morning," he informed.

" We!!!" Ruby asked confusingly. " Do you mean us?"

" Yes, us," Steven said smiling.

" What!!!" Ruby exclaimed.

" We have to go there. Being my secretary you have to accompany me," Steven said. 

" The client is going to wait for us there. We have to go there" he repeated.

" I can't go there," Ruby said. "I have to make sure that the contract is done."

" We have to go there. It is final " Steven ordered.

She lowered her head and stood in the same place.

" What is your problem?" He asked her.

" I have never been away from my family. I cannot stay without them for one week" she replied.

" Don't worry," Steven said.

"You are an adult now and a working woman. And it is part of your job, " he reminded her.

" I know, but I have never been away from them before," she replied.

" See. It's part of your job and you have to come with me. If we finish our work, we will return in three days" he assured her.

Finally, she agreed to accompany him on the office trip. 

" Be ready at sharp 7 am, I will send my driver to pick you up at your home for the airport," Steven said.

The remaining day, she prepared the contract to be signed by the client and other work.

" Get ready by sharp 7 am " Steven reminded her.

" Okay, I will pack my things and be ready," she said while she was leaving for her home.

" Good day," He said.

" You too," She replied.

...

After going back home, Ruby informed Kathie and Martin about the office trip to Florida while having their dinner.

" Wow...what will you bring to me from there?" Sam asked excitedly who was sitting with them.

" What do you want? " Ruby asked him.

" A big car with batteries…" Sam said.

All of the sudden, Katherine coughed at Sam's words. 

" Like father, like son…crazy about cars…" she thought in her mind.

Martin gave her a glass of water and made her drink. She thanked him and drank the water silently.

" Take care of yourself. Don't go alone in the new place" Katherine instructed like a mother.

Ruby smiled and nodded her head.

…..

The next morning, Steven sent a car to Ruby's house. She bid bye to all and started in the car to the airport.

Steven already arrived and sat in the airport waiting for Ruby. He was so excited about the contract. And also about spending time with Ruby for one week.

A few minutes later, he saw Ruby walking towards him. She was looking gorgeous in a thin-strapped floral dress. Her open blonde hair was open. 

" Good morning, Mr. Brown" she greeted with a bright smile.

"It's Steven for you….Ruby" he said.

" Yes." She nodded shyly.

There was an announcement in the airport about the delay of flight due to bad weather conditions. Ruby and Steven were very upset.

" I don't think it is going to be late. I think the plane has already landed" Ruby said.

" We will wait," he replied.

" Why don't we have breakfast meanwhile," Steven asked her.

" Okay," she followed him. Then he ordered two sandwiches in the food court at the airport

While eating, they heard the announcement that the passenger should check-in for the boarding.

Ruby and Steven went to the check-in counter.

" Hello, are you the passengers for the flight to Florida?" The flight attendant asked them.

She took their flight tickets and checked to see if they had checked in.

" Yes, we are," Ruby said.

" Your names?" The attendant asked.

" Ruby and Steven," she replied.

" Okay. You have to go to the gate to board the plane" she said.

" Fine," Ruby replied.

They went to the gate. They went through the security check and then boarded the plane.

" I hope this flight is going to be on time," Ruby said.

" I hope so too," he replied 

After a while, the pilot announced the flight was going to fly. All of the sudden, Ruby intertwined her hands to his arms.

" I am scared. I am scared of flying" she said.

" Don't worry, it will be fine," he replied.

" I don't know. I have never flown before" she replied leaning her head to his shoulder.

" I promise you, it will be fine," he assured her. " I hope you are alright,"

" I will come with you. I will be with you for the whole flight" he promised.

" I am glad," she said with a weak smile.

The plane reached its destination. They were in Florida. The plane landed. The pilot informed them that they had to go to the terminal.

" We have to go to the terminal," he informed her.

" Fine," Ruby said.

They went to the terminal and went through the security check. They came out of the airport. They went to the hotel. They went through the security check. They reached the hotel.. Steven booked two VIP rooms on the last floor for a good view of the city in the night lights.
