The Traps of the Black Swan

47

Ruby Jane might show herself stone-hearted and was ready to see Vance beaten up but she wasn't prepared to see Mino getting injured. She wanted to stop the game but didn't want to tarnish Mino's image which already became a laughing stock.

Without being able to watch, she instinctively took a step back to leave but bumped into Lisa who was right behind her. Raising her head, Ruby Jane faced his aloof face devoid of emotions.

Unknowingly her heart started to calm as she blinked watching his face. That's the face which hid every emotion of his whenever she used to make a fuss after waking up from a coma, that's the face that gave her a reason to live and teach those bastards a lesson, she didn't even know when he became her emotional strength just by his presence.

Lisa wasn't sure what Mino was trying to do but he hated how he made her feel lost when she could flip her games any time and stand on victory if she was single. Now he understood why she is alone in her battle.

He noticed her calm down and even... smiled. Lisa knew that smile, Her shrewd, crafty brain worked, and the cunning Ruby Jane was prepared to change the result even if Mino loses.

While they were lost in their own thoughts looking at each other, everyone was looking at them instead of the two who were in the ring. Jisoo, Nico didn't have a change in expression, rest silently gasped.

Blake whispered to Talon, "Isn't he President Manoban?"

Talon's jaw was dropped looking at the couple, Ms. Evans, he had heard about, doesn't believe in relationships and love, 'What is the tension between them?' He didn't hear Blake and looked at the couple in wonderstruck.

Those reactions weren't only because of Ruby Jane but Lisa too. Some had thought as he dislikes women, some thought as Naomi is his woman, some were even thinking why he entered the commoners' gym when he could have multiple story gyms for himself.

Ruby Jane who hadn't left Lisa's palm pulled him towards where she was initially sitting as she glared at Mino who brushed his swollen and lightly bleeding lips on his sleeveless top pulling its hem up showing off his defined abs.

The girls who followed the couple admired his body, ignoring Vance's slender body having faint firm abs. But Mino felt cold run down his spine looking at Ruby Jane's smirk and serene gaze. He could handle her glare but now this un understandable look was too enticing hiding her evil mind.

'Devil Dum Dum.'

Vance was frozen without his knowledge looking at Ruby Jane and the hand she was holding. His little brain worked and realized Grace Wells had seen Ms. Evans in city M near the beach. Now he understood why Grace was so adamant stating her as Jennie.

Thought of bringing Grace back came to his mind but he brushed off the thought remembering his fiancé and his mother. He didn't want more drama in his life.

Jisoo quickly went towards his brother and Little heart to whine about Mino for getting beaten up.

The boxing instructor who was performing as the referee stuttered to ask, "CEO Song, can you go for another round?" He was scared Mino might throw a punch at him for losing against Vance. Mino was his boss after all.

Ignoring him, Mino indifferently asked looking at Ruby Jane, "Ms. Evans, we are done with the warm-up, shall we start?"

Jisoo's lips twitched uncontrollably hearing him and turned his murderous gaze to Mino who was smiling teasingly. That man had given him a stroke a few seconds back and now he was saying it as a warm-up, he so wished to get on the ring and break his face.

Ruby Jane's feelings were almost the same as Jisoo, 'You better have a reason for this Mino otherwise, I will break your face.' Ruby Jane thought to herself and left Lisa's hand crossing her arms in front of her chest.
