Love Unspoken

Upon laying eyes on Ruby, Getty's face turned sour. A surge of jealousy welled up within her. At the company,, she was the one who held sway over everyone, including Kyle. Yet, Ruby seemed impervious to her influence. Getty had always viewed Ruby and Quinn as her main competitors.

Ruby, however, appeared to disregard Getty entirely, not even deigning to give her a glance. This only served to stoke the fires of Getty's resentment.

"Alexander, why are you choosing her over me?" Getty voiced her protest.

Ruby finally acknowledged her. "If Getty could alleviate some of my workload, I would be more than pleased. Why not let Getty take the reins in this negotiation?" she proposed.

Getty was taken aback. She was clueless about the intricacies of the business. 'Negotiate what?' she pondered.

Alexander rose from his seat, reaching out to affectionately tousle Getty's hair. "Enough with the complaints. You should rest at home. I'll be back in three days."

Getty pouted, shooting Ruby a disgruntled look. Ruby returned her gaze with a professional smile, unwavering. She was a challenge unlike any Getty had ever encountered.

Without further delay, Alexander exited the room, with Ruby trailing behind him.

Getty turned to Kyle, her annoyance evident. "Why aren't you accompanying them?"
