“Hello?” A man's voice came. “Mason, come to my office right away,” Luke said and disconnected the phone call. While the smirk on his face grew only wider. Gabriel smirked at his friend's action, “So, we are officially getting into the war,” he commented and Luke nodded his head. Luke loved how Gabriel involved himself into the supposed war. There was a knock on the door and Luke muttered, “Come in.” A tall man with broad shoulders came inside. He was wearing the classic office suit. If someone from outside saw him, they would think that he is an official in the company. “Good morning sir,” the man

“The perfect chocolate chip cookies, Peach Cobbler, Classic carrot cake, strawberry cheesecake, pecan pie, is that all?” Luke asked the bakery helper with hopeful eyes. The young girl smiled at him and laughed a little, “Yes, I think this much is enough to calm down your wife.” Luke scratched his neck out of embarrassment, “Not wife yet. To make up with my girlfriend.” The girl could not help but smile at his embarrassment. She was quite impressed by his efforts, “Not yet. So she will be in the future. And also your efforts are already showing that you care about her. So I am sure she will accept the gifts and make up with you.” Luke was glad to hear those encouraging words, “Thanks a lot for your encouragement. I needed that a lot.” Luke makes the payment and immedi

Anna’s next agenda for the day was to convince her husband, David to not give his approval for Luke’s relationship with Ruby. She was quick to be on her feet and look for her husband. David was in his closet getting ready for the day. He had planned to pay a visit to the company. "Oh.. you are getting ready. Where are you going?" Anna asked her husband. She did not know his schedules and David made sure of it. "Just a visit to the company," David said and carried on with his clothes. Anna waited for a few minutes in silence. David sensed her silence and turned to face her. "What happened? Do you have something to talk about?" He asked her. Anna nodded her head as yes.   "Yes, it is about Luke," Anna said. Sh

“What are you still doing up?” Luke asked Ruby when he saw her come out of her room. Right now, Luke was sitting in the living room and checking the accounts files that Mason had given to him. He had not got any time to check those files during office hours as he was caught up with other work. So, he had brought it home to check after dinner. And that was exactly what he was doing right now. He usually uses his home office to work but he wanted some free space and comfort, so he had chosen to work in the living room after the others went to sleep. Ruby slightly jumped when she heard the voice. She held her chest and felt her heartbeat rapidly, “You scared me.” Luke could not help but chuckle at her expression, “I did not know you are a scaredy cat.” Ruby was annoyed at his comment. She filled her water bottle and came to the living room. She sat beside Luke and said, “I did not know you were a ghost who w

Luke got inside the car and he was quick to start the engine and drive. Since it was the first day of college for Ruby and he also had an important meeting at the company, he was in a hurry. "Shall we?" He asked Ruby, who was sitting next to him. As he had promised last night, he was going to drop her to college first and then carry on with his work. Ruby nodded her head, giving her consent. The drive went fairly well. Except for the incident at a traffic signal."You just want to show off that you have a handsome guy drop you to college, right," Luke said. It was an attempt to tease Ruby. But her response was epic.Ruby smirked at him and replied, "If I wanted to show off a handsome face then I would have called Gabriel." Luke shut his mouth and concentrated on driving. Seeing Luke's silence, Ruby tho
