The Traps of the Black Swan

131

Around eight in the morning, Ruby Jane had to force herself to leave the bed so that Lisa doesn't have to work late in the night after returning to the JL mansion from their date evening.

Thinking about their date, her lips arced up, and also hoped Lisa could enjoy and relax after the long day.

Ruby Jane was still napping when Lisa checked the video sent by Zain. It was a video when Ruby Jane went to Hays International. Ruby Jane heard Vance and Seungri's voice, she too had the same doubt as Jisoo.

Was Vance Hays believing in her strength or was he provoking Seungri against her?

Anyhow, the man next to her felt like Vance might be in love with Ruby Jane, especially after seeing his gaze as soon as it fell on Ruby Jane. It felt more like adoration than admiration.

What surprised him was Vance didn't trust in Ruby Jane's strength due to the Manoban family with her but her own strength hence Vance didn't care to report about them to Seungri Harmon.

Yeah, Lisa wasn't least affected by Vance's feelings for his Cupcake. They are too far from his reach.

Ruby Jane mumbled groggily, "I can play Seungri with this video, let's brush and fill out stomach."

...

After five minutes, in the bathroom,

Lisa was wordless when she leaned on him and dozed off holding her toothbrush while brushing her teeth.

"What time did you come to the bed?" He asked but met with silence. He really wanted to learn how she could sleep leaning on him while standing.

He is also aware she never lets her guard down except around him and tries to relax her over-exerted brain. Hence her body naturally craves more rest around him.

Holding her in his embrace with an arm around her, he quickly brushed his teeth as he realized it was their first time brushing together and sharing the bathroom but his Cupcake is... asleep.

Removing the toothbrush out of her mouth, he washed her face with cold water and heard her whine feeling less sleepy and more awake, "Lalisa, you are heartless." She wanted to snuggle in his arms and catch more sleep.

Lisa flicked on her head and held her chin forcing her to open her mouth. He was about to brush her teeth but she snatched the toothbrush, "Do I look like a two-year-old? Lisa, you are unbelievable." She facepalmed and started brushing.

She felt like he was spoiling her too much. A cold run down her spine imagining herself behaving like a haughty queen ordering everyone around.

'No, no, Ruby Jane, you should never ever turn like that.' She ordered to herself.

Lisa didn't remark on it. 'Does she have to be two years?' He shrugged off and kissed her head on the hair slowly trying to cajole her.

Ruby Jane noticed he was slightly gloomy, unlike how he always leaves her speechless with his words. "What's wrong?" She asked unclearly due to foam in her mouth.

Lisa knows she will understand but he still had two minds, "There is a scheduled surgery in the noon and another critical surgery came up in the evening. I got the message in the morning."

He paused and saw her nod. Ruby Jane knew he wasn't reporting her but there was something more to it so she waited for him to finish watching him through the mirror.

"The operation might take too long and... We can't go on a date today." He felt bad to ditch their date evening when she was completely free and planned a week full of dates to spend time with him. He can let others handle the first one but the second one was critical.
