The Traps of the Black Swan

164

Ruby Jane who was sitting right behind President Dawson grabbed whiskey glass and moved towards lips when she heard multiple hurried voices.

[Boss, no drinking.]

[Ms. Evans, you aren't allowed to drink.]

[Ms. Evans, I will serve you a mocktail if you're thirsty.]

Ruby Jane's lips twitched uncontrollably but didn't respond. She smelled to confirm it was raw without a mix of water. Her voice was low while saying, "I want to fire his hand."

There was pin-drop silence before the girl coughed to control her laughter.

[I have the lighter.] A shadow team member uttered, added with it, one could easily feel he was walking fast between the crowd.

Meanwhile, Ruby Jane crossed her legs and looked at the man in front of her who had his eyes fixed on her. Her eyes brushed on the other two men who were frozen after witnessing her whole act.

There were Talhon Martin, Paul Gilbert, and Elliot May. Who they are? Vance Hays ex-friends and Nico Burton's bike race friends. Talon was more in shock whereas the other two looked like they were savoring, peeking at her body rather than worrying about her actions.

Talon couldn't understand why the Evans heiress was troubling Dawson however he knew to keep his mouth shut to keep his business safe.

Blake Wong, who returned with his special drink was surprised to see Ruby Jane, "Ms. Evans, You look... Gorgeous." He complimented flashing her his innocent smile.

Ruby Jane clinked his whiskey glass with his cocktail, "You are dashing." She complimented back in her mellow voice.

"Whiskey at noon?" Blake asked in astonishment, looking at her manicured nail tip tracing the rims of the glass.

Ruby Jane smirked when she heard the girl on her team say, [Boss, he is cute, isn't he?] She heard the team men say 'Duh' due to which she had to control her smile and didn't answer to her,

Ruby Jane smiled at Blake and asked, "Would you like to see what I will do with this?" She held the base of the rock glass.

Talon, Paul, and Elliot knew she was up to no good. They won't be surprised if Ruby Jane throws it on their faces. Anyway, they controlled giving any response.

Blake was confused, what will people do with whiskey instead of drinking? He glanced at the stiffened three brothers of his and nodded in hesitancy looking at the mysterious smile of Ruby Jane.

Ruby Jane carried the glass to her left side and poured whiskey down with the same faint smile before keeping the glass on the table.

Blake was on her right so he didn't get to see where she poured the whiskey but saw a middle-aged man sitting on the floor.

Talon saw the whiskey poured on the right backhand of President Dawson which had bruises and cuts due to her heel.

Blake was all hell confused, Talhon held his breath to wait for her next move and the other two were perplexed whether they should sip their whiskey that was in their hand or just admire the beauty.

They already got to know from Nico that Vance wasn't what he pretended to them. Since it was from Nico, they blindly believed him as Vance wasn't meeting any of them. So they weren't angry at Ruby Jane either.

Ruby Jane looked at Paulo who took Vance's side too much on boxing day, "Could you count till five for me?" She did sound polite but her piercing glare felt like a threat to him.

He gulped his nonexistent saliva and nodded hesitantly, "Five... Four... Three... Two..."

Those men's eyes were on her or Paulo so they didn't notice a man in a suit drop his lighter and while picking it up, he lighted President Dawson's hand and walked away.
