The Traps of the Black Swan

At Harmon Groups

Dylan didn't care about the heavy downpour and went to meet their men who were working on three cases. "Any progress?"

"Assistant Harmon!" Many greeted in unison and left a chair for him to sit.

Even though Seungri doesn't treat Dylan well inside the walls, he was a highly regarded employee of the Harmon Groups and Companies. After Seungri, everyone gave Dylan the utmost respect and his image was no less forbidding than Seungri.

A lanky man who was in front of the computer spoke, "Assistant Harmon, there is no lead. It's void. Nobody entered or left. Everything looks clean."

"Somebody must have cleaned it."

That man shook his head, "So clean work is impossible."

Dylan snapped at him, "Impossible for you. Incompetent people. Work on it."

He got up and went to his office room thinking about how to get the information about everything. Until he gets to know the information he wants, he has to stick by Seungri by hook or by crook so he does every possible thing to be loyal to Seungri.

--- Next day ---

Ruby Jane was surprised to herself thinking she didn't get a dream and slept well after a really long time. Her sleep routine is just four hours due to her unavoidable dreams. So sleeping eight whole hours, she was in a good mood.

But before she could leave the villa, Lisa stopped her, "It's a cyclone. The weather will not change for the coming five days. You are coming with me."

During the last two years, she obliged because she was under observation and the weather quickly affects her health. Now she didn't feel like following him would be a better idea.

"No."

"Ruby Jane!" Lisa closed the car door without letting her enter.

She pursed her lips looking at him, "I'm in warm clothes, I will not eat cold food, If rain pour continues, I will stay at Skyarc. Jisoo will be there."

Lisa was amused that she didn't start a fight. He convinced gently, "It's not just about it. Traffic jams will increase and I can't reach you if I need it."

She somehow interpreted that he wasn't telling her as a doctor. 'Patient is the needy one, the doctor isn't.'

She shook her head in mind to disperse her thoughts assuming she was thinking too much, "I'm really not in a mood to argue. If I feel uncomfortable, I will call or look for you immediately."

"Ru..." He didn't stop thinking she might really get irritated as she had avoided him the previous day. He opened the car door for her and passed her an umbrella once she sat, "You might need it."

Ruby Jane nodded and let him close the door. She couldn't understand why she started feeling uncomfortable around him even though he was the same.

Messing her mind, she drove out of the garage of the villa checking the rearview mirror seeing him watching her car. She started to feel like Lisa was treating her differently even though there was nothing special.

Smacking herself, "What's wrong with you? You are Ruby Jane. You have to control your thoughts too."

Composing herself she drove to the center of the business city and unexpectedly saw Sean Harmon sitting alone in a café. She had thought to meet after the weather changes but changed the plan. She parked her car giving heads up to her Apple Pie.

She smiled seeing the umbrella thinking she would have gotten wet without it but the next second, she smacked on her head, "What's wrong with you?"

She checked herself in the mirror and liked her outfit of the day. Jennie never cared to groom up and kept simple but Ruby Jane enjoyed what she should. She had never cared to pick pretty dresses or showing off but Ruby Jane has many designers to work for her even if she wears only black.
