Sold To Mr President

“Your bill is, twenty thousand francs,” paige said staring at Ruby with a bright smile on her face.

As she said so, she eyed Ruby from closed eyelids. She didn’t want her to yell at her again, especially sd it will cause people to look towards her way. Well, it is quite sad because she really wanted to have a small talk with her.

The moment the bill was read out for Ruby to hear it, her eyes widened in shock. There is no way on earth that she can remember coming along with that kind of money. But then, she pretended like she didn’t listen to what Paige had said. Instead, just hearing this is so heart throbbing, her mind had been so far away that she had not noticed that the price tags on the things she had chosen are mr expensive than usual. Even though that was the case with her, Ruby tried her best to clothe her emotions away, especially when Paige is in front of her. Unless she reveals her wallet to herself, she wasn’t really sure of the amount that was in it, and that is what ached her so much.

As she poked her hand in the bag, Ruby remove her purse to verify how much Ethan had actually given her. Well, as expected, it was fifteen thousand francs that was in her bag with no transport fare. At least, sh had received a slap when she had asked about that, so, it is not strange. For a moment the lady stood at the counter unable to solve the problem she has in he mind, just thinking about it makes her sad more than anything in the world. It happened that we was not only sad, but also, Ruby was disappointed and felt himiliated all theseame, more like not whatt he had expected but then, Paige who had been so attentive saw it too.

There is no doubt that I am as white as snow because of the fact that all the colors in her face had.

All what interests Paige is to help Ruby blindly, she didn’t know he demon that she lived with is susceptible to killing her. She didn’t even know that many of these things can actually happen, yet, no one will no about it.

Ruby needs to keep some distance from her because she is convinced that the moment Ethan sets his eyes on her, the, she will have herself to be blamed, nothing more han arm, and pain will be her predicament, somthing she doesn’t even wish to happen, she is so damn tired of thiking about worse things.

As Ruby walked her way home, her entire thoughts was being plastered to the scene that happened in the shop and it creased her forehead so badly.

Paige stared at Ruby scared at her immediately, and as she understood what is going on no, she decided to do as it pleases her.

“Ruby, just allow me help you, I bet it is not going to hurt at all, believe me about what I am saying, you can trust me, let me just sort your bills out,” Paige muttered sweetly.

Hearing this, Ruby immediately shook her head again from left to right, this is one of the several informationa that my of save her life sometimes, but today it is irritating more than anything she can ever think of, especially when Paige tries to pay her bill. It seems like a bad news to her.

“No, that is not necessary, you know what, I might as well just deduct some of the things I chose to buy for the house,” Ruby announced holding out her basket, wanting to remove some of the things she wouldn’t be In a haste to use.

As she sent her hand to remove the things, Paige gently held her hand across the counter.

“It’s okay, Ruby, there is not need to over react, okay?” Paige asked raising her brow at her.

Ruby had the urge to slap her, most of all, to throw abusive sentences at her because she has a very low sense of reasoning which is more than they things knows about. Sighing, Ruby didn’t want the young lady in front of her to get entangled with her affairs, like seriously, i might only get worse an not better, and this is what makes her feels so insecure and Arrogant about then.Belongs to © n0velDrama.Org.

Even though Ruby had used a fierce tone in talking to Paige, she wasn’t the least bothered especially when it has to do with answering her question. Instead, she wore a provocative smile on her face and expected it to be bad, like seriously, really bad.

“Why don’t you let me help you, Ruby? by the way, you always stay a week or two before coming to the shop, I assume you don’t have to bother about shopping because these are note than enough things that will keep you going okay?” Paige asked sweetly.

She had her eyes winking nicely at Ruby indicating that she means so well to her. Well, unlike that one, Ruby wasn’t in the mood to take all tthese things down in one gulp, in fact, he was so frustrated and did not know what to do. The truth is that she is afraid of the fact that things might not work well for her, and that is one of her biggerst fears in the entire world, it pisses him off more than anything, and she was prepared to let the girl behind the counter to know her pain.

“Back off Paige, just let me reduce somethings here and head home, do you think I have the whole night here?” she asked in anger.

There is no doubt that Ruby is angry, her face was now an annoying stroke of anger, just thinking about it made her sad, so sad that she can’t even understand what is going on, but then, Paige had an even more bigger package for her, and unless she didn’t know, it was to piss her off. Unless the do that kind of thing, it wouldn’t make Paige’s burning anger for the lady to subdue.

Paige knows that deep in her that she has to save Ruby from the bad guys’s hand, but then, she doesn’t even know who that bad guy is, or what he wants from Ruby. Jumping into such a quarrel will only cause more drama than possible, and nothing else else be done about that. Just thinking about it scares the hell of of her. Sulking her breathe deeply, Paige finally opened her eyes, she knew that is was going to be an explosion, she deserves it more than anything on earth.

“What? tell me now, Ruby what other things will you do when you leave here, huh? please, tell me, I ma interested, who knows, maybe I might join you in doing that,” Paige blurted out.

Her voice was low and she tried her best to keep her voice on low. Tonight, the grocery shop was kind of empty as it was late already, and those that had been here earlier have left. There is no doubt that Ruby is tired of this drama, she didn’t want anything to do with Paige anymore, and even that silly meeting of hers that had caused her chaos lately was going to be suspended. This is the highest Ruby can do because she is already tired of being beaten, it doesn’t suit her skin anymore, and unless she disappears to safety, this argument might possibly escalate to something else, and that is not something to argue about, and that is the best tbjnh to do.

Paige has not concluded what she has to say, and coupled with the fact that Rubybwas dead silence, she tried throwing another bomb towards her facee.

“Oh! I see now, I am sorry that I am even disturbing you right now, Ruby, if you do not mind, your boyfriend or whosoever you have in your house is waiting for you to come home so that he can use you as a punching ball to exercise his muscles on. If you do not mind, Ruby, do not heed to my advice. Who knows, maybe it might not be a slap he is going to strike on your cheem this time, but imagine what he is or caoahle of doing. I hope you stand on a better position to explain these now. If you do not mind, go an leave them out yourself, I am waiting to see and hear your own version of what I just said,” Paige blurted out aggressively.

These is the most shocking knews that Ruby has ever heard in her entire life. She always thought that Ethan Smith had always been the beast, always trying to harm her, but today, she just realized that everyone can harm her and at all times. These things makes her sad more than ever, just thinking about it, she feels like crying, and as her neurons became weak she noticed the weak tears that rolled down her cheeks. so many questions filled her mind right now, she didn’t know what to say it was kind of difficult to even think about her, and as she glared at the lady behind the counters, Ruby watched how Paige started packing all the stuff she had chose out a while ago pay for.

Ruby was dumbfounded, she could barely even say anything that was reasonable and that was what pissed her off. Well, she pretended like it didn’t harm her, but when she was more than harmed and affected by all these thing, she always feels like crying, and there is nothing that will make her sad like the way she already is, there is nothing more she can do and to almost slap Paige across the face.

At this point, Ruby was at the edge kf breaking down into tears, but thought it wise that is she does so, Paige might only have an adeed advantage on her especially as she will want to think about everyway possible to turn the situation on her side. By the way, Ruby thought about the threat Ethan had once given her a long time ago.

Well, it is not something that had happened in days or weeks ago, but actually in years. At that time, he had just newly released her from his prison in order to give the opportunity to walk around the house and neighborhood. The freedom was good, but it came with a prize.

“Never you get into trouble and expect to see me there, I might never show up, ajc if you struggle to entangle yourself from them, I am will kill you the moment I set my eyes on you. So, if you do not mind, never get in trouble,” Ethan Smith had advised.

It is one on the advise that she has always kept in her mind for the most part of her life, and she is happy she did so. Staring at the lady who started the trouble, she said to her nicely,

“Let me have my things, her is your money, and thank you for paying the rest of the bills. By the way, I will like to tell you this, you better not get in my way in anyway possible. Thank you,” She blurted out and left the shop.

Walking out of the grocery shop, Ruby was embarrassed about the scene that had occurred in the shop. She knew that she had acted out of anger, but then, that is not enough reason to brush a lady that had helped her out when she needed her the most. Just doing this shows how immature she is, but then, it is for her own safety.

Ruby always needed to be on the safest side of the road, and as she balanced the several shopping bags from one hand to the other, she didn’t notice that she had thought about so many things that had made her linger towards the road.

The next thing she saw was flash light, she heard a horn before she screamed with all her might closing her eyes.
