Chapter 56 - Dinner With Client

Don't you read the agreement copy before taking your appointment letter?" He questioned her.

" No….Mr. Brown. I skipped a few pages.." she replied like a student who made a mistake.

Steven paused his work to check his schedule. " Interesting… that I got an innocent secretary..." he smiled at her.

Ruby looked at her boss from the corner of her eyes.

"Don't worry, Ruby. I can't cancel it now. The client's deal is extremely urgent."

"How long do I have until the meeting?" Ruby asked.

"Not long. The new client's deal is going to be discussed soon over the call. It's just a formality to sign the deal," Steven said, not looking at her.

She looked at him, confused.

"Don't look at me like that, Ruby. I have to be on time for this meeting so that I can deal with the client's demands before the deadline.

Ruby nodded.

"You're going to go with me, right?" Steven asked.

"Yes," Ruby said. She wasn't used to going places with Steven, and she didn't want to go tonight. She didn't even want to go with him to the meeting, but there was no way she could say that to him.

Steven smiled.

"Good. I've arranged a car for us, so we'll leave promptly." She looked towards the door.

"Ready?" he asked.

"I'm ready," Ruby said, confident.

She looked at the door. She was nervous to go with him to the fancy restaurant to meet the client as she was slowly attracted to Steven.

She could feel her heart beating fast at the thought of going with him.

Steven stood up from his desk and came towards her. She could see through her boss's suit that he was dressed in black. His eyes were always filled with happiness, and his face was always glowing.

"Are you okay?" he asked, smiling.

"Yes, I'll be fine," Ruby answered, looking away.

"I don't know how much you're familiar with the client, but he's very demanding. And I would like to show you my way of doing things.

Ruby nodded, and they made their way out of the office. Steven was very good at his job and Ruby wanted to learn from him.

They passed through the reception area and made their way to the lobby.

"The car is waiting," he told her.

They walked to the lobby outside, and Ruby could see the car waiting for them. It was a luxurious sports car, and it was there for the client and the secretary.

Ruby and Steven entered the car and the car made its way out of the parking lot. Steven was very careful with the roads and drove the car at a safe speed. 

" Why don't you appoint driver to your car?" She asked Steven curiously because as CEO of the company everyone has a driver of his car.

" I would feel more at ease if I'm driving for myself, Ruby."

Ruby turned her eyes towards him. His eyes were smiling at her. She felt herself falling in love with his eyes and she couldn't resist.

They arrived at their destination in no time. The car stopped in front of a fancy restaurant as the client asked to arrange a meeting and to have dinner with them.

Ruby and Steven entered the restaurant and started a formal dinner with the client. They discussed the product and how the company was planning to progress in the next few years. By the end of the meeting, they were supposed to sign the deal. 

When they were having dinner, Steven got an important call . So he excused himself and left the client and Ruby alone. He placed his hand on her pencil skirt and caressed it under the table. She pushed his hand looking at him angrily. Again he placed his palm on her knee and moved inside her skirt touching her bare thigh. He squeezed lightly and smiled at her.

" I know it's common for every secretary to please their clients. See, your boss also left us alone. I promise we will have a great night. You look so beautiful even in professional wear. Then I imagine how sexy you will be if you are nude" the client said with a wicked smile.

She wanted to slap him for his behavior but her eyes searched for Steven.

" Are you searching for your boss? He won't come here. He told me to enjoy it with you tonight. Just come with me, baby. I will show you heaven. " He said and his other hand roamed on her back.

She stood up from the chair with a serious face. But he held her by his waist and pulled closer to him. She smelled alcohol from him as if he took a bath in it. She tried to wriggle from his grip. But there was no person in the room as they were VIP booking for the meeting and dinner. 

He leaned towards her and inhaled the fragrance at her neck. 

"Let me go...You bastard. " She tried to push him.

" How dare you to call me ....bastard?" He gripped her arms tighter than his nails dug in her white skin leaving red marks.

She hissed in pain and pushed him hard. He fell on the floor with the force. Just in time, Steven entered the VIP room and saw the client lying on the floor.

" What happened?" Steven asked the client.

" This bitch pushed me..." The client said, looking at Ruby.

" You know it's every important deal for this company then why are they creating problems with the client?" Steven roared at Ruby.

" To get the bloody deal, why should I sleep with that bastard? Then go and appoint a new secretary who works for your company and your needs. I don't need your job" Ruby retorted.

" What do you think of me? Huh? " She questioned him. 

" I thought you were a humble and kindhearted person.But I was wrong about you. You are a wicked man with a good mask.. " she said, fuming in anger.
