The Traps of the Black Swan

At M Industries

Ruby Jane entered the top floor to feel the Antarctic cold air and all secretaries' faces had fallen and were too busy to even raise their heads to see her arrival and greet.

'What might have happened?' Ruby Jane thought and remembered Lisa hadn't dropped a single message or called to ask if she had lunch.

She knocked her forehead for burying herself in work and getting busy with Mino and Zain. Deciding she shouldn't repeat the same, she saw Milo Wen's hurriedly exit the office room while his forehead dripped with sweat beads.

Milo Wen wasn't a man to easily falter for small things and he handles some big problems himself without troubling Lisa so she realized Lisa's mood will be deep down in the pit.

She adjusted her mood to make her man happy and to help him if needed.

Her current mission - see Lisa smile happily.

Milo Wen's lips gaped when his eyes landed on Ruby Jane. First, he smiled seeing her casual instead of angry, which means she wasn't bothered about leaking Mia Craft's information. He didn't know Ruby Jane had long expected Mia to drop out of the movie as soon as she attacked Billy Craft.

But Milo glanced inside the office room and yammered in his mind, 'Bad time, bad time. Lady President, why did you have to come now?' He thought and opened the door wide for her. How could he ask her to leave? So he hoped everything would be calm and settled instead of a real volcano eruption.

Ruby Jane saw Lisa passing by from one end of the office to another but paused feeling the gaze. Seeing his gentle smile involuntarily appear in her presence, Ruby Jane's eyes twinkled as her lips curved gracefully.

Her mission to make Lisa smile - Checked. Effortlessly.

She nodded when she heard Milo Wen's voice to greet her, she reached straight to Lisa's arms and wrapped her hands around his neck.

Milo Wen: "..."

He prayed that Ruby Jane and Lisa's mood stays the same. Sigh. He closed the door and went to do his work.

A cheeky smile adorned her little face looking at Lisa as she revealed, "I didn't know my boyfriend is petty too." She giggled adorably and melted the man who was in front of her.

Lisa knew she wouldn't be angry for Mia Craft's end. If not for him, Seungri would have handled her later. The sooner the better.

"Nothing is trivial when it's about you." He responded before embracing her.

She knows he gives importance to every little thing of hers but the smile which she had and wanted for Lisa didn't stay for long.

She felt an intense gaze on her causing her to be alert even in Lisa's embrace. Lisa's smile was replaced with frostiness when her happy mood dropped due to an unwelcome guest in his office.

Ruby Jane broke the hug too shortly and turned to the gaze that made her alert. The morphing of her happiness to alert and then chilly didn't take time and the man's brows twitched gaze at her piercing black orbs and gritted his teeth.

He hates her serene expression that always has confidence and determination. He wondered if she is scared of anything.

Lisa didn't care about the man, he cupped her face turning her gaze to him.

Ruby Jane who could feel Lisa's displeasure didn't want to aggravate it more. Both can't be cold and merciless, one needed to be light while the other one in the dark. One to make the other one happy so she chose to ignore Nico Burton.
