My Life with the CEO

Disconnect

"You sure, it's okay?" ask Conrad.

Jasmine shakes.

"Well, I'll take Ruby to her house first."

Jasmine nodded.

"Ruby. I'm sorry, I didn't mean it." Jasmine said sincerely.

"Yes that's okay" Ruby said, holding her hand against Conrad's neck and leaning her head against the man's back.

Jasmine looked at their departure with a chest that felt pained. Even the pain in his chest made him forget the pain in his legs. Jasmine took a breath and let go. He has to think positively. However, Ruby's situation, also due to her actions. And it's appropriate that Conrad prioritizes Ruby.

"Miss, this is to treat your wounds." A female shopkeeper offered antiseptic liquid, cotton and antibiotic ointment.

"Thank you."

"How did you fall, miss?" ask the shopkeeper in surprise.

"I tripped."

The shopkeeper noticed the surroundings where Jasmine had fallen earlier. But, there's nothing there.

And he was more and more astonished, as if Jasmine could stumble badly. His forehead turned blue and both knees were bleeding.

"But. tripped what yes... I don't see anything that could make the lady fall." she said in surprise.

Jasmine looked at his ceaselessness. He was sure if his foot hit something. But Jasmine wasn't sure what it was. In fact, he fell and bruised.

"This is all, messy. I'm sorry yes. I'm going to reimburse you." Jasmine slowly saw the floor there was dirty from the instant noodles she had spilled.

"Well, I'm worried, lady, I will clean it myself. You just wait for the lady's boyfriend here."

The female servant then passed Jasmine off and started picking up the cleaning equipment. Jasmine calmly took Conrad in the same spot. Nearly forty minutes passed. Jasmine finally decided to go home in a taxi. Conrad will not find himself. Jasmine called out a passing taxi and left twenty dollars for the mini market keeper.

Meanwhile, Conrad left Jasmine by carrying Ruby on his back.

"Luckily, you're slipping on your sneakers. So it wasn't too hot before, " said Conrad, who realized that Ruby was in closed footwear.

"Yes. Good thing."

"Your legs hurt, because of that noodle soup?" ask Conrad in surprise.

"Mom. I... just now, in surprise, my legs sprained." jawan Ruby nervously.

"Ah. should we buy drugs first in the pharmacy" said Conrad regretted.

"It's okay. I have ointment at home. Tomorrow.it will be fine." said Ruby with a smile adorning her happy face.

On Conrad's back, Ruby felt comfortable. Sturdy back and the field feels warm. Ruby feels protected. He's willing to be doused in hot water always if he can get Conrad's attention. Ruby is happy because Conrad would rather help herself than Jasmine. He felt that Jasmine's condition was not as severe as his.

They were already in the hallway to Ruby's flat. Ruby was a little disappointed, as Conrad did not take a detour to drive her home. There, Joseph was waiting for Ruby to arrive. Seeing Ruby in another man's arms, Joseph boarded the apoplexy. With rage he stopped them.

"Ruby! Why is this man holding you?!"

Conrad stopped right in front of Joseph who was looking at him with his eyes lit up. Joseph was very emotional. He looked at Conrad as if he was about to skin Conrad's body. Conrad looked back at him in surprise, to Joseph's intimidating gaze.

"What are you doing here, Joseph?" ruby asked harshly.

"What am I doing here???? What are you doing with that guy!" joseph was upset.

"Down Ruby!" joseoh to Conrad. Joseph clutched Conrad's hand violently.

"But, man, there's no need to be rude. Ruby's feet are hurting." Conrad was forced to crouch down so that Ruby could get down, because Joseph was holding his arm, about to pull Ruby. And Conrad is worried that Joseph's rude actions will hurt Ruby.

"What the hell are you, Robert!" Ruby came down from Conrad's back. His comfort was interrupted by Joseph's presence.

"Who is Ruby?" ask Conrad. Seeing Joseph's rude demeanor, Conrad thinks between her lover Ruby or her sister.

"I'm Ruby's boyfriend!" joseph quickly replied before Ruby could answer.

"Daughter, really?" The surprised Conrad looked at Ruby in surprise.

"former!" Sahut Ruby fast.

"I'm not your ex! We're still lovers!" joseph did not accept.

"We broke up Joseph. Abandon me. Don't bother me." Ruby brushed Joseph's low hand against her.

"But .. since when?" Gigi Joseph churned with Ruby's decision, saying suddenly.

"Joseph. Never mind, don't bother me anymore. I'm tired of your possessive attitude." Ruby shook Joseph's hand.

"But it's because I love you, Ruby!" Joseph was about to reach Ruby, but Conrad was among them.

"He said don't bother. You better go." said Conrad nicely. He felt unbearable to see Ruby who was disturbed by her ex.

"It's none of your business! She was my lover. This is our business!" shouted Joseph.

"Ruby said no! If your relationship is broken. You better get out of here, sir. Leave him." Conrad is still protecting Ruby with his massive body.

"So your mouth, bro! He's my best friend." Conrad replied firmly, he wouldn't be willing if the man in front of him insulted Ruby, the girl he thought was amazing.

"Good friend? Haha... Really Ruby? Or is he your next target?"

"Shut your mouth, Joseph! Don't bother me anymore! I'll emphasize once again, that we've broken up."

ruby said with emotion.

Joseoh was flabbergasted by Ruby's unilateral decision. Just yesterday, she visited Ruby's house with a box of fruits and a kilo of beef, with no sign that Ruby would decide. It was too sudden for Joseph. And Joseph still loves Ruby.

"Well, this time I let go. Let's see if you'll come back to me, when your new friend is tired of you, Ruby." Joseph left annoyed. He still had time to look at Conrad cynically before leaving.

"You okay?" conrad asked when Joseph left.

"It's okay. Thanks Conrad. Joseph he..."

"No need to explain, Ruby. I-i understand. You go inside. Do I need to take you upstairs?"

"No need, Conrad. I can still walk. Thanks." Ruby limped into her flat building and climbed the stairs.

Conrad was still waiting until he couldn't see Ruby's back anymore. Then Conrad immediately returned to his flat. Conrad was still unhappy with Joseph's attitude towards Ruby. If that guy forced his way back to Ruby, it was certainly because Ruby was the best, right? That is what is in the mind of Conrad, a young man who has just grown up.

Conrad laid himself on the bed thinking about Ruby. He was sure, Ruby's hands and feet must have been flushed, big. Conrad was planning to buy Ruby an ointment at the pharmacy, when he remembered Jasmine. Conrad only realized that he had left Jasmine just like that in front of the mini market.

Conrad immediately descended from the top floor and headed to the mini market where they had gathered earlier. Arriving there, Conrad did not find Jasmine. The table they were sitting on had already changed people. Conrad then goes into the mini market to see if Jasmine goes inside. He didn't find her either.

Conrad then pulled out his phone and contacted Jasmine.

"Yes Conrad?" sahut Jasmine.

"Where are you?" ask Conrad directly.

"Ah...I'm already in the taxi." replied Jasmine shrieked.

"You're home yet? Why not wait for me?"

"It's okay Conrad. I'm sure you're busy helping Ruby." Jasmine said softly.

"sorry. I just left you." said Conrad regretfully.

"Where, is Ruby okay?"

"Yes. It's just that he's still a little shaken."

"It's my fault. I have to apologize to her."

"He must have forgiven you, Jasmine."

"You're good Conrad. All right, my taxi has arrived. Good night, Conrad." Jasmine closed her phone. He closed his eyes for a moment to hold back the tears that were about to drip.

Jasmine then exited the taxi, with shuffled footsteps. A guard who opened the gate was shocked to see Jasmine's state.

"Miss Jasmine. Let me help you."

"Thank you, I can do it myself.." Jasmine entered the house and went straight into her room.

Jasmine went into the bathroom and began to clean herself and her wounds. Both of Jasmine's knees were bruised and very sore. He still held the pain when drying the wound on his leg.

When Jasmine had left the room, her nanny from childhood was waiting.

"Sergei told me, if you hurt miss. Oh, my God, look at this beautiful knee. How did this happen?!"

"I'm falling, lupita. But I'm fine. Look at this pestle can still stand upright." said Jasmine refrained from being able to stand upright. Taoi it was just for a moment.

"How!" He grimaces sick.

"Kann.. Don't hide the pain, especially in front of Lupita. You can't lie to me, miss. " Lupita leads Jasmine and holds the child she's been raising since infancy. Lupita started smearing the ointment onto Jasmine's wound.

"Look." Jasmine grimaces.

"Tuh, next time eat it when the road is looked around. Don't daydream. Yes, if that cute guy who is sweet, that's okay." Grousers Lupita.

"You've got Lupi."

"Yes God. That's why it turns blue too. Haduhhh." Lupita attentively applied the ointment on Jasmine's swollen and bluish forehead.

"Daddy and mommy... Have they come?" ask Jasmine.

Lupita.

"They both have important operations."

"If it was Robert?"

"If it's not dawn, where's he ever come home?" lupita said with annoyance. Her foster child that one did make her most anxious. But, now Lupita has begun to ignore. Robert is also an adult. He must have understood the cause and effect of his actions.

"Sleep, miss."

"Thank you Lupi, good nite."

"Good nite miss."
