The Traps of the Black Swan

27

Lisa had expected her to get up but not continue lying on him and bury herself in him. Her frame looked exceptionally small on his body and their current position was doing no good to him, "Why are you taking advantage of me?"

'Advantage?' Ruby Jane wanted to applaud him for saying it seriously.

"Can't you cover me till those buffoons leave?" Ruby Jane unknowingly smelled his perfume. It wasn't the first time she was near to him but it was the first time she cared to notice it knowingly or unknowingly.

It was an intriguingly sensual fragrance that was subtle yet distinctive. It had notes of Bergamot, Black Pepper that were balanced with warm Vanilla and Nutmeg.

When she sniffed again, Lisa rolled her down going on top and asked to tease her, "What am I going to get for covering you?... Another kiss?"

Ruby Jane ignored it and stated, "Your perfume smell is reminding me of my school days..."

Lisa's relaxed face deadpanned. It wasn't his perfume if his guess is right. It's his own scent that is reminiscent of her school days.

Ruby Jane thought she was thinking too much and ended it saying, "Never mind," 'Sometimes even his words do the same. My brain is malfunctioning...'

"They reached." She grabbed his top and pulled him down to hide her face at his neck without knowing his forehead had to rest on sand. Both heard the lady giggle and say, "'It's always good to be new in the love..."

'Yeah, hence you slept with your own friend's fiancé, idiot.' Ruby Jane thought to herself and left Lisa who was really curious.

"Did you love him?"

Ruby Jane shook her head, "Dad and Mom wanted me to marry him, to get the collaboration and show some power in the board meeting to avoid..."

Lisa completed, "You becoming the CEO."

Ruby Jane nodded with hum, "Except grandfather they didn't know I was in business management. They thought I was in art and home science, I mean cookery."

Lisa continued to ask, "Then why did you reject your grandfather?"

Ruby Jane knew he had met her grandfather so it wasn't surprising, "All I had was saved money and my unused brain. I knew I could stand alone so I thought my parents would be happy if I left that post for my younger brother."

"He is incapable and you know that. Due to his halfwittedly brain, your grandfather still looks after the company." Lisa knew Ruby Jane was responsible unlike turning away from it.

Ruby Jane didn't want to talk about them anymore, "Are you enjoying atop? Get off. I am hungry."

Lisa chuckled and rolled off aside before standing up. Then he helped her up and dusted the sand off her hair carefully while she rubbed his forehead where he had sand.

After sumptuous seafood, Ruby Jane flopped on her bed and dozed off soon. Lisa who had thought she was going to be sleepless due to a long nap was speechless looking at her snuggled with pillows and comforter.

"President, here are the reports." Secretary Wen's voice sounded behind him.

Lisa had taken the luxurious suite which had two bedrooms and a living hall with a dining area. Usually, Secretary Wen used to stay in the adjacent room so that their work wouldn't stop. Since Ruby Jane was there, he had tossed Secretary Wen to a different suite with others.

Closing the room door, he sat down cueing him to speak, "Young master Hays is with her girlfriend Grace Wells who used to be Ms. Evan's friend. As per the confidential news, Grace Wells had a miscarriage recently and they are here from two days for her recovery."
