Chapter 911: Chapter 909: WAVERING
He flicked his hands for a moment, trying to loosen up before he courageously raised his hand and knocked on the door lightly, before dropping his hand to wait.
Creak.
Sean stood by the door for two minutes or so before the door opened, and that face, which he didn’t get tired of watching, appeared in his view.
"You look stunning!" he blurted the compliment unconsciously, the moment he set his eyes on her, and she beamed at him upon hearing that.
He had always known that Ruby was beautiful. She knew how to dress and knew her features pretty well. Whether she was donning branded clothes or not, she was the epitome of beauty.
At her age, she carried this mature aura that kept drawing him towards her.
He was in deep, and he knew it.
"Thank you!" her sweet voice sounded as her eyes turned into crescents stretching her hands towards the bouquet which he happily passed onto her.
Ruby looked at the flowers and felt very touched.
When she meets her friends during the vacation and tell them that she had received countless bouquets not just from Sean but other guys, would they swoon with jealous?
She couldn’t help but beam further at the thought of that.
"Thank you," she uttered as she accepted the flowers.
"Flowers for a beauty!" he said, teasing her and Ruby stuck her tongue at him playfully before saying, "Wait for a second. I want to take my bag!"
After saying so, she dashed into the house, leaving the door open and Sean at the door.
It was reckless to let a man into her house. Especially one that looks at her like that.
Whilst she might be able to protect herself. Ruby wasn’t entirely certain that she could fight a man. After all, she only cultivated but didn’t exchange blows with anyone.
Thinking about that, she decided to talk to Diamond about it and find a sparring partner. The world was dangerous. If she can’t protect herself, she relies on the bodyguards always shadowing her. If something happens to them, then wouldn’t she be in trouble?
Thankfully, right now, she hadn’t attracted anyone with evil intentions but to be on the safer side, she was going to do her best during the holiday.
Those were her thoughts as she added a few things into her handbag and placed the flowers in a vase with fresh water.
Once she was done, she walked towards the door with an apologetic smile. After all, she made him wait for her outside, which looked a bit rude, but couldn’t be helped.
"Let’s go!" she said smilingly as she locked the door.
Sean stretched his arm towards her, and she naturally hooked with hers before the two of them started walking away.
Ding!
The elevator door opened, and Ruby smiled wryly upon seeing the person who was coming out.
It was her opposite neighbor and a senior student, Eugene. Who was also one of the first friends she made at school?
Eugene wasn’t bad. Just a bit too talkative at times, it becomes irritating. She was too enthusiastic, and it seems that Eugen herself didn’t seem to realize that, or perhaps she simply pretended like she didn’t know.
Meeting her when she was with Sean, she could only pray that Eugene was busy. Otherwise, she would never hear the end of it.
"Ruby! Sean! I didn’t expect to see you here!" Eugene exclaimed, her eyes brightening upon seeing the two.
Ruby nodded politely at Eugene and responded as she pulled Sean to the elevator. "How are you?"
Eugene stepped out of the elevator, responding, "I am doing well. I didn’t expect to see you. It’s been a while," and it seemed that she wasn’t occupied, seeing how she was in the mood to chat like that.
Sean pressed the button, and Ruby’s lips twitched, but she still didn’t forget to reply to Eugene. "Yeah, exams!"
Eugene sighed heavily when that was said and as she was about to respond, the elevator door started to close and all the words she wanted to say were cut off.
She could only embarrassingly say to Ruby, "I will see you later!" before nodding politely at Sean, unfortunately that wasn’t seen as the door closed shut.
Eugene sighed regretfully as she walked towards her room, mumbling, "There is so much I wanted to talk to her about. Alas, I guess I have to wait another day," her lines a bit shameless.
After all, who chats with a busy person?
Couldn’t she read the room?
Anyway, the couple laughed heartily once they escaped Eugene.
Sean couldn’t help but complain, "Your friend .... She is truly one of a kind!"
Ruby chuckled and nodded at his words. "She doesn’t know how to read the room, at times!"
"Indeed!"
For someone like her, she will end up offending people unknowingly, but that was on her.
The couple didn’t talk about Eugene for a long time, but changed the topic and started talking about where they were going to dine that night.
The two left the building and headed to Sean’s Dentley, which he had driven for the occasion.
"Please," like a gentleman, he opened the door for her and gestured for her to board the car once they were by the car.
Ruby didn’t stand on ceremony but let herself be served.
After she entered the car, Sean followed suit and a minute later, the car was driving out of the complex, heading towards the destination.
On their way, the two chatted about exams and school. Sean was no longer studying, but that didn’t stop him from being attentive. After all, the woman he was pursuing was still a student. Not just that, but one of his best friends was still studying. So, it was the norm.
The drive to the restaurant took nearly an hour, and when they got there, the restaurant wasn’t crowded at all.
Sean had booked a private room. He preferred eating in peace with her without other people gawking at them. She was too pretty to go unnoticed.
Moreover, he was selfish and didn’t want others to see her.
Sean was truly a gentleman, and he had been like that from day one.
The more Ruby knows him and spends time with him, especially after finding out about Diamond and Waylon, the more she wavers when it comes to Sean.
However, she couldn’t help but think to herself.
What if I agree now, and then he starts losing interest?
She knew about the issue of conquest. Men likes conquering and when they get what they were pursuing, they won’t cherish it.
She didn’t want to fall into such a cycle. So as much as she wavered, she was afraid. Moreover, with her heart guarded after the failed unrequited love with Waylon, she didn’t dare fall easily.
So, the wavering that Sean had no clue about was dashed before she sat down at the table.
She was still young and had all the time in the world to date.
If Sean knew about that, he would bawl his eyes out. Fortunately, he wasn’t a mind reader.
Once seated, the couple ordered several dishes, with more of them belonging to Ruby.
Ruby had several similarities when compared to Diamond.
Ever since she started cultivating, her love for food increased though it wasn’t as high as Diamond’s.
Diamond can eat many servings at once and then eat three to five times a day without any problem. But she wasn’t like that.
She eats a lot but throughout the day but the love of food was there and Sean knows that pretty much.
So, she didn’t have to restrain herself when she was with him.
While waiting for the food, the two who were used to interact, didn’t let the chance go. They simply resumed from where they left off in the car.
"When will you return from your home town?"
"Um ... I think we will spend a week there or so. I guess it will depend on Diamond."
"Oh! Is that so?"
"Yep. She is too busy and can’t be away from the city for a long time. Besides, I need to come back and intern. So, I can’t stay that long as well," she answered as she tapped the table playfully.
"That’s true. So, have you decided where you are interning?"
"Not yet, but I will have an answer soon."
Sean chuckled when he heard that. he couldn’t help but tease her.
She stuck her tongue playfully at him but still explained herself. Sean was different from some of her friends with other motives. She was at ease chatting with him.
Dinner was very harmonious. They ate, and chatted cheerfully. The room was filled with laughter and harmony.
After padding their bellies, the two left the restaurant and took a nice walk.
They bought coffee to warm their bodies before returning to the car.
The dinner date was over, and it was also dark.
It was now the period of short days and long nights.
Sean didn’t engage in hooliganism and kept Ruby for longer. Instead, after getting the coffee and desserts, he readily drove her home.
It wasn’t like he wouldn’t be seeing her again after this.
Patience pays, and he was starting to love the process.
There was that saying, ’good things come to those who wait!’
Wasn’t he doing the same?
