Before he completes his words, he gets a call from Emily. He picked the call and heard her cry from the other side.

" Emily, Are you fine? " he asked worriedly.

" I need you, Adrian. Please come once. I have no one to share my problem with. " she pleaded in a cracked voice.

" I will be there tonight," Adrian replied, sensing something wrong with her.

He disconnected the call and lost in his thoughts thinking about Emily. His mother patted his shoulder and stared at him.

" Is it Emily's call? Are you going to meet her?" His mother asked him.

" Yes, mom. She wants to meet me. I have to go, `` he replied casually.

" Wow….my son changed. I am happy that you are slowly forgetting that woman who left you" she said with a smile.

Adrian didn't reply to her and asked, " Shall we go to our place? I have to fly tonight " he said.

….

….

On the other side, Ruby and Sam walked out of the restaurant and were standing to hire a taxi to go home. After a few minutes, Ruby initiated the talk with Little Sam. 

" Be a strong boy. Don't cry again. If your mom came to know this, she would feel bad. " Ruby said, bending to his height.

" Aunt Ruby...why is my dad not with us? Doesn't he like us?" Little Sam asked her.

" No...He loves you so much. He went to another country when you were an infant. He went for business purposes. " Ruby replied.

" When will he come? Do you have my dad's photo with you?" He questioned again.

" He will come soon. And I don't have his photo because I can't take his pictures as I had no camera" she lied.

" Hurray...my dad will come soon" he jumped with joy forgetting what happened a few minutes back.

Suddenly, Ruby sensed someone observing them. She gripped Sam's hand and looked around the place. 

Ruby didn't notice Steven, parked across the street in a restaurant, watching them have lunch. She didn't even realize that Steven was following her. 

" Hi, Ruby…" She heard someone calling her.

Her mind elsewhere, and when she saw him get out of his car and cross the street, she didn't even register the fact that he was only a few feet away.

"Ruby, do you want to wait here for the taxi? I'm more than happy to drop you off at your house. I'd hate for you to be out in this heat all day." Steven said, smiling.

"I'm sure it'll be fine. We will take a taxi, why bother you!! " Ruby said. 

"It's only a few meters away from here. I don't want to disturb your work " she added.

Steven pursed his lips and nodded, but stayed silent. The truth was, he wanted to spend some time with her. Ruby also wants to go with him in his car in the heart but hesitated as he is her boss and she is her secretary. She is not an easy person to make decisions on her own.

" Aunt Ruby, is he your friend? " Sam questioned her for being curious.

" No, he is my boss" she introduced him to Sam looking at Steven.

"Don't worry, I'll drop you off at your home. You probably need to change and get some rest. This sun is awful and you look like you've been run over by a train. I don't let go in this heat and think especially about this small kid." he suggested.

He was right, she had been sweating. Her hair was sticking to her forehead. Her clothes were drenched. She was getting sick of looking like a wilting flower.

"Thanks, Steven," she said, as she looked down and smiled.

"No problem," he said.

He was being a bit too chivalrous right now, but Ruby looked so damned cute as she said thank you, that Steven couldn't help but be kind to her. He was slowly developing a soft spot for her. She was a cute girl with a great smile and a kind heart. He could tell from the way she looked at him when they first met at the office. And she was always so attentive when he was around. She was just a little shy being close when they were alone. She was not sure of her feelings for him.

After getting in the car, Steven started the engine of his car. Sam sat in the back seat with the gifts they purchased whereas Ruby sat beside him in the front seat.

" Did you go to lunch with your friends?" He questioned her even though he stalked her.

She explained everything happened in the mall and how they ended up with lunch with them except Sam crying.

" Nice. But it's not safe to interact closely with strangers. " Steven suggested.

" Ad and his mom are so nice to me. They are good" Sam said angrily.

Steven stayed quiet for a while and then he said, " I don't mean they are bad. I am telling to be careful with strangers" 

Ruby turned her head and said in a serious tone" Sam...you should not talk in rude way with elders " 

" It's okay. He is a small kid. " Steven said, placing his hand on her knuckle which was on her lap.

" Yes. He is a small kid, but" Ruby said, her voice was trembling.

Steven didn't want to say anything to her. He wanted to see her eyes again. Ruby just kept looking at him, daydreaming.

Her eyes were just so beautiful. It was like looking into the depths of a pool. His heart skipped a beat when she was looking at him.

"Ruby," he said, breaking his silence. 

" Will you come with me for dinner tomorrow?" Steven asked, his voice was a whisper.

Ruby's face lit up. She had to be thinking of a million things at that moment, but she knew that this was a surprise. "Sure, where?" she asked hiding her excitement.

She didn't want to seem as though she was just meaning to spend time with him. 

"I dunno. I am new to this city and I want have no friends. If you like" he said, a bit of a mysterious smile on his face,

"I'll pick you up at 6."Ruby's smile grew even brighter. She had been waiting for this moment. She thought that this was the start of something beautiful. She was starting to feel like the sun was shining on the surface of her skin.

Meanwhile they reached her house and noticed little Sam sleeping in the back seat. 

"I will bring all your shopping bags inside, carrying Sam in your arms. " Steven advised.

"Thanks, Steven," Ruby said, as she leaned forward and pulled Sam from his seat.

She almost lost her balance but thanks to Steven, she didn't fall. She pulled little Sam out of his seat and switched the back door open, handing him to Steven. She followed him across the house and down the hallway.

"Wait " she said after she placed the shopping on the couch in the hallway. She took sleeping Sam from his arms and went to the bedroom to make him sleep on the bed.

" Thank you so much..." She said, as she looked at Steven's face.

"Don't mention it," he said, his eyebrows furrowed, though he was trying to control his smile.

Ruby opened her mouth to respond but just Martin arrived. 

" Hi... How are you?" Saying he hugged Martin.

"Good," he said, as he looked at the shopping bag. 

" Okay. I will be back to pick up for dinner" Steven said and hugged her while leaving the place.

She was startled to hug her in front of Martin. She never had any boyfriends in college. His touch made her heart beat faster. His eyes looked deep into her. It was like he was trying to search something in her eyes. 

" May I know what is going on between you and your boss?" Martin asked in a playful manner.

Ruby's face reddened as she opened and closed her mouth for a while as she didn't know what to answer. 

"Nothing. He just asked me out for dinner tomorrow," she said, blushing and looking down at the floor.

"You just met the guy a few days back. I wonder why any boss asks for dinner," Martin said. "Why did he ask you out then?"

"I dunno," Ruby said, looking at Martin with a straight face.

Martin examined her face and supposed to ask something before she escaped from his further question saying she wanted to freshen up. She walked into her room and noticed Katherine cuddled Sam in bed staring at him. She found Katherine's face and thought she was upset about something.

The same night, Adrian flew to Emily's place. He took a taxi and went into her house but she was not found in the house. He was worried and called her mobile. It was switched off.

Instantly , he made a call to her Assistant, Stella to know where about.

" MrWilson.... Miss Green is in the hospital. Please come to Cleve Hospital. " she informed 

Adrian was dumbstruck on knowing that Emily in the hospital.
