"Honk honk--"

The car across gave a couple of honks.

Ruby decided to give up chasing Stefan and retreated.

She reversed all the way to the end of the alley before she had enough space to turn the car around. Parking on the side, she grabbed her bag from the passenger seat, pulled out her mobile and dialed Owen. Owen picked up so quickly that Ruby wondered if he had been waiting for her call.

"Ruby, what's up? Wanna grab dinner? I can pick you up," Owen's proposal took Ruby by surprise.

Even though Ruby hadn't given up on Stefan, Owen was over the moon that she reached out to him.

He believed that one day, Ruby would choose him.

He was the perfect match for her.

He could give her the happiness she desired.
