Mr CEO’s Little Bride

A little something

Ruby’s Pov;

I was sad that morning. Don’t ask me why.

It’s obviously because Nathan isn’t gonna drop me off in school that morning.

I still didn’t know why we are still here… in the mansion.

Did he change his mind and decided to stay?.

Anyways, I got dressed for school, had breakfast and my driver drove me off.

Things went back to normal. The distance between us got even wider as I now struggled to even see him on a daily basis.

” I can’t believe you’re still waiting for him?” I heard Ella scoff behind me.

I turned and glared at her.

” Looks like you’ve fallen head over heels for him. Well, I can’t blame you, who wouldn’t?” she said with an eye roll

” So, what’s your point?. Are you saying it’s wrong for me to wait up for my husband, or what?” I flared up.

She shrugged and walked back into the house.

I finally saw his car driving in, beamed and ran back to my room.

While in my room, I looked out through my window. From there, I was able to see everything perfectly well.

I could see his charisma and bold aura, but the only thing I couldn’t see clearly was his face.

I missed seeing it from up close.

He hasn’t been coming to the dinning to have breakfast.

I guess that’s how busy he is. Is he trying to make up for the times he slacked off while he was at the penthouse?.

I doubt that.

” So, the coefficient of x would be what?” Chris asked me, trying to go over the question again.

” Hmmm, I think that would be three” I replied and the look on his face was neutral.

” Oh, my! Please tell me I got it right this time?” I clasped my palms together and pouted.

” Uhm… yeah, sure .. That’s correct ” he replied and I heaved the breath I had been holding.

Thank goodness!! I can’t believe I finally got the answer.

Such a damn hard question.

” Alright, moving on. Let’s also try to solve question number 47″ he said.

” Uhm, please hold on. Excuse me ” I told him when my phone started ringing suddenly.

It was an unsaved unknown number.

Who could it be?.

” Hello?” I said into the phone.

” Hey!” I heard his voice after seconds of silence had passed.

The phone almost slipped out of my palm.

What the heck?!.

How… how did he get my number?. My heart skipped a beat, my adrenaline increased and my jaws came dropping in shock.

” Hey, are you there?!” He called again, snapping me back to reality.

” Yes, yes, I am” I stuttered repeatedly, not believing my eyes.

” Good. You’re still in school right?” he asked and I nodded slowly, until I realized he can’t see me.

But it was just very hard for me to speak at that moment.

” Yes,” I said.

” Oh!! I see. Alright!” he said and ended the call.

I slowly removed the phone from my ear and stared at it.

Did that just happen? I can’t believe this.

Did Nathan just call me? Goodness!! This has got to be a dream.

” Uhm… can we continue?” Chris asked, bringing me back to consciousness.

” Uhm…, sure, yeah yeah” I said effortlessly, a huge smile at the corners of my lips.

I don’t know for how long we have studied but I heard a car drove into the school compound.

We were the only students still in school, that I am sure of, and just very few teachers.

” Uhm… Ruby!!” Chris called, looking at a direction.

I turned to the direction he was staring at and what I saw almost made me fall down from the chair I was sitting on.

Goodness gracious!! Nathan!!.

What’s he doing there?!

He was standing by the door, his both hands in his pockets and a cold look on his face.

His face was as hard as steel and very serious.

Before I knew it, he started approaching me majestically, making my heart skip with every step he took.

I could feel my heart leaving my body.

Oh, my!!.

He got to where I was and without saying a word, he dragged me up by my wrist, taking my bag along.

He dragged me out of the classroom all the way to the place he had parked his car, and then he let go of my wrist which was already hurting by now.

I rubbed the spot to try to make it better while he backed me.

” What the fuck was that? What were you doing with that guy?” he turned and yelled to my face, making me flinch.

Gosh!!.

” He’s… he’s my classmate and we… we uhm… we were studying…”

” Is this why you never wanted me to come?” he cut me off angrily.

His gaze was cold and mean and I couldn’t afford to look into his eyes.

What’s he blabbing about now?.

” He’s just a friend,” I said, lowering my gaze.

” Oh, he’s suddenly changed to a friend, no longer a classmate?”.

” What’s your point?”.

I asked, but he said nothing to me.

He suddenly threw my school bag to me and was about to leave, but I quickly ran to him and held his wrist.

” I’m… I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to upset you?” I told him sincerely.

It took a while but he turned and smiled.

He replaced my hands with his and held my wrist instead.This is the property of Nô-velDrama.Org.

” Let’s go,” he said with a smile.

” Uhm… wait, lemme go get my textbook” I told him and he nodded.

” Or, forget it. I’ll get you another. Just get into the car” he stopped me and said.

I nodded and walked to the other side of the car.

He got in also and he drove off.

I wandered in my thoughts while we were on our way.

What was that?? Was it jealousy?.

Chelsea had warned me about getting him jealous but I didn’t know he was such a jealous person.

How could he get jealous over such a thing?.

Jeez!!.

He’s so unpredictable.
