Xavier had more than a million things to tell thedy that was in front of him, but the fear that she might reject him just made him keep his mouth shut. But then, when he felt thedy’s eyes on him, there is no way that he will avoid her.


    “Ruby, can I serve some tea? I brought it in case you wanted somepany, and I hope that you don’t mind,” the young man asked.


    At once, she shook her head from left to right refusing at once. Of course, there is no way that Runy wasn’t bored, but what she needs right now is not somepany but a person in which she can tell all her worries too. Xavier is here, but the fear that is consuming her is worse than any other. Just seeing him here warms her heart a lot, but telling him her fears is just out of the norm, she can barely deal with that knowledge just yet.


    Suddenly, an evil thought crossed through her mind and she decided to put the powder in the tea. First of all, she allowed Xavier to pour out the content from the tea pot into the cups, and when he was done, Ruby thought it wise to bring her diplomatic way to him. She just wanted to draw his attention from this thing for a short time and if she seeds in doing so, that will just be so fine. For a short moment, Ruby’s conscience judged her terribly, she knew perfectly who Ethan was, and he knew that since Xavier is attempting to be the president. This is kind of strange, but what more can she do about it, she wondered so badly.


    “Xavier?” Ruby called out.N?velDrama.Org owns all content.


    Hearing the sound of her own voice calling the man was abnormal, she could barely fit in her mind around this issue, it didn’t quite make a lot of sense then.


    “Yes, Ruby,” Xavier replied in his sweet toothy voice.


    He had admired the way thedy had called her, it was beautiful, and there isn’t much he could do about it just yet.


    “Please, my head hurts so much, is there anyway that you could soak a towel for me and ce it on my head? I feel like passing out,” thedy muttered out.


    This was just a means of making the man leave the room for a brief moment. Well, he did it, and a pang of guilt flushed through her.


    “I will do so, Ruby, Just be safe okay? I will be back any time from now,” Xavier said calmly as she woke up from the bed.


    Ruby slowly shook her head positively, and immediately as she did that, the youngdy regretted. As she stopped, she held her hands tightly in a fist, she didn’t want to cry because it will make her feel so bad right now.


    Sighing, she watched how Xavier made his way to the bathroom, and immediate took out the powder from the bed and opened it. This is the first time that she would be doing such a thing and truth be told she was frightend by the fact thatshe might be caught, and that will mean that doing something illegal, and with a man like Xavier who has authority, power and dominion, she might be sent to jail.


    A light shudder passed through her entire body, she feared the fact that she might actually go to jail, but she had started it now, this, she has to finish what she had started.


    Xavier had entered the bathroom, and had suddenly remembered to ask Ruby something as he tried walking out of the bathroom, he halted when he saw thedy manipting something over his tea, and at once, his first thought was to walk out of the bathroom and confront thedy, but on a second thought, ge didn’t want to believe the fact that thedy was trying to poison him.


    Good enough for Xavier, he had seen everything that had happened and he quickly rushed to the end of the bathroom as he called out to her.


    “Ruby? should the water be warm or cold?” he inquired as he raised his brows up.


    Ruby was startled for a moment, and she let her had pushed the powder further into rue cup as she panicked. Heaving a gentle sigh, thedy was now focused on telling him what she wanted.


    “Let is be cold please, I can not move my head, it aches a lot,” Ruby cried out.


    She was damn serious, the only thing is that, the young man in the bathroom wouldn’t buy that lie from her, not even if he was handed a million dors.


    ‘Pretty liar,’ Xavier spat out in an annoying manner. He hated thedy’s guts. He couldn’t gulp down the fact that he is housing a criminal, someone that wants to kill him over nothing at all.


    Thinking about this made her head to ache for a while, she didn’t quite like it, but then, what more can she do about it, she wondered faintly.


    There is not much to do in the bathroom, thus, he decided to soak a towel in clean cold water as he carried it towards the room where the little witch wasying on the bed. Xavier didn’t even want to re at thedy because it will mean that he will be about to strangle a person right now. That is awkward, but the every actions have consequences and something must have priqued her doing so.


    “Here am I,” Xavier muttered out.


    Saying this thing was just satirical, she could barely even think about Ruby trying to kill him. He hates her. But then, thedy needs to think about it first and in case he doesn’t know about it, he just needed sometime with thedy.


    “Do you have something to tell me?” Xavier asked lightly.


    He didn’t want theirdy to suspect him that he has seen her, and as she red at her, the young man wanted thedy to tell him that. Unfortunately, Ruby was unable to do that.


    Hearing the man ask that kind of a question, it made her heart trip so much that it hurt. She could barely believe the fact that the man had seen her form the bathroom, but she did not even think about this things as much as he had wanted it. Sighing, thedy tried her best not to betray herself as she muttered lightly,


    “Unfortunately, I have nothing to tell you,” she muttered out.


    Xavier had that look on his face, it said everything, he was mad at thedy, but tried his best to ignore her as much as possible. Putting the wash basin on the table, he stopped and squeezed thw lle water from it. As if that is not enough, the young man walked towards thedy’s side as he was now ready to put it on her forehead.


    “Thank you so much,” Ruby said.


    As she said these words, she felt a little embarrassed, and also, a pang of guilt flushed through her face as she knew what she had just done. Ruby was in a dilemma on whether she should confess to Xavuer or allow him take a sip from then tea. The stress from it made her want to pass out. That was weird, a situation that had not crossed her mind until now, but what then can she do about it, she wondered faintly.


    The truth is that Ruby doesn’t want all these things to happen to her, in case the young man dies, It will be her problem, the sole truth, and just knowing that he choses to respect Ethan who sold her out over Xavier who bought her is her to wrinkle her nostrils. It made her feel extremely bad.


    “If you do not mind, we can have the tea now. Sugar or milk?” he inquired ring at the youngdy.


    Xavier’s aim is to make thedy feel embarrassed, he wanted to que her life with guilt, to torment her to an extend that she will confess on her own. Well, thedy was slowly falling for his tricks, as he could visibly read the fear that was scribbled in her eyes. That was awkward, but what more can he do when he had seen thedy put something in his tea? he wondered rolling his eyes.


    The truth is that if nothing valuable happens, then he will have to pretend as if he has drank the tea, and at the end, rig his death. So he thought.


    The moment Xavier grabbed his ss of tea to drink, Ruby’s heart beat had now elerated, she couldn’t think properly, especially when she knew that she is about to kill someone, the fear of knowing that captured her entire spirit.


    Ruby’s conscience constantly judged her, she didn’t know what to do or what to even say.


    Before Xavier could ce the cup in his mouth, he heard Ruby speak out with fear filled in her eyes and her voice trembling.


    “Xavier stop,” Ruby called out as she tried her best to conceal that voice of hers.


    It is an impossible thing to do but she didn’t have the choice, she had called him and she will do as her mind is telling her to.


    “Can I help you?” Xavier asked sweetly.


    Xavier was trying to y his loyal game, he had not doubted it when he saw thedy’s face squeeze with fear. There isn’t much that he can do about it other than stare at thedy nkly. He truly wanted to know Ruby is going to talk about now, if it was worth it or not.


    Ruby was afraid of what she wanted to ask, she feared that if truly there was poison in it, then this might be thest day of her living in this world. Taking a deep breathe, thedy decided to spit out the words that were clutched in his throat.


    “If you do not mind, can I have your tea? I mean can we swap tea mugs?” Ruby muttered out.


    Her heartbeat had elerated, she was scared that the man would deny it.


    “Why, did you put anything in it?” Xavier asked innocently.


    He was just being satirical, and the fact that he had seen her put something in it just made matters worse. There is nothing Ruby could do to keep her mind away from these cmities she is setting for herself. She was now embarrassed, there isn’t much thing around here apart from the fact that things aren’t wsoking the way she wants it. It is a sad experience, and thinking about it made her bite her lips hard.


    The manner in which Xavier had asked the question raised. light rm in thedy’s mind. She was scared of the fact that the man had seen her on action, that could only be the reason why he had said that kind of a thing.


    “No! just let me have yours please,” Ruby begged.


    The truth is that she does not want to be seen as a murderer, many things were going on in her mind, there isn’t much of a thing that will go unnoticed.


    As she heaved a gentle sigh, Ruby kept her eyes glued on his, there more Xavier stared at her, she just felt like she was going to pass out. As she shook her head from left to right, the fear that gripped through her was unbelievable.


    Xavier gave the mug to Ruby and kept his eyes on hers. He truly wanted to know if the tea was poisoned or not.


    “Are you going to drink it?” Xavier asked raising his brows.


    It was a stupid question but she didn’t quite know what to do about it. Deep down in him, he red at the girl as he didn’t quite know what to do about it.
