Chapter 39: My Boyfriend

Mom lifted her eyebrows. "Ruby dear, can you do the introduction?" Mother Tang asked. "Mom.. Dad.. this is my boyfriend, Mr Lucas Yii from City-A." Then she turned to him. "Lucas, this my parents, Mr and Mrs Tang, Aunt Geneva and Mr and Mrs Huang." She introduced them and they shake hands. "Nice to meet you, Uncle.. Aunty.. Aunt Geneva.. Mr and Mrs Huang.. I'm Lucas Yii." He greeted them politely.

No far away, a voice shouted out.. "Hello! CEO Lucas Yii." Someone walked over and surprised the crowds. "I didn't expect to see you here. Nice to meet you again." He shot out his hand for a handshake. "Hello, Chief Bobby Wang. Nice to meet you too." Lucas said. "And this is Ruby, my gi.. fiancee." He introduced me as what? She shot a stare at him.. fiancee, since when??? Lucas smiled teasingly and explained to her that Chief Wang was working for Aaron's father for few years before returning to City-X.

"Well, who is he?" Aunt Geneva asked Chief Wang. "Mr Lucas is the most eligible bachelor and co-CEO of Stark Industries Corporation in City-A and Asia, while his father, CEO Brian Yii managed the Spark International Corporation in the US and Europe. They are considered the top five companies in US and Europe dealing with industrial products. I used to live in States before, that how I know them." Chief Wang explained. Those who heard what he said were stunned and eyeing on Lucas. But as usual, he kept his cool and calm.

'Wow!!! I know he's rich but I didn't know he's that super rich. He's hundred times more richer than the Huang's family.' I thought, staring at him. "No wonder you can fly here in your private jet. I didn't know..." She whispered to his ear. Lucas chuckled and teased. "If you want, I can give you loads more but under one condition.. be my wife." I stared at him in a confused state. 'Marry him.. be his wife..' Is he kidding me now. We have only dated not long ago. Why's he so eager???'

Upon hearing that Lucas is a multi-billionaire, every businessmen in the party including my dad, Uncle Huang and even Meryvn Huang started to mingle with him, to get a good side from this billionaire. Her mom and Aunty Huang also mingle with their friends and she was left alone with Lilian and Aunt Geneva. Marcus too was chatting with his friends or some of their friends in the past. But once a while, he will steal a glance at her. She just ignore him and pretended nothing happen. Lilian saw what Marcus did and was very angry and jealous.

"No. I mean he's... Ruby, how do you happen to met him in a short time and stayed together?" Lilian asked after listening to their conversations.. telling Aunt Geneva how they meet and so on as she was curious about Lucas. "Why shouldn't they be? They're couple. Is just like you and Marcus." Aunt Geneva who was standing next to me seem to be over-protective and answered. "I see.." My cousin nodded. "I'm glad you do. And don't you dare have any evil thoughts towards Lucas." Aunt Geneva warned Lilian. Ruby just kept quiet and smiled.

While Lucas was chatting with some business group, Marcus suddenly appeared infront of her. "Would you like a dance with me?" He places his palm in front of her in a very gentle manner but she rejected. "You know Ruby, I have always tried to win you back into my life but you and your little attitude always pushed me away, but not anymore, tonight.. after tonight I am going to make you mine." Marcus whispered in a dangerous threatening voice. She can feel her stomach constrict and her legs begin to feel weak.

She felt a chill run down her spine with his words. She was just feeling like she's dreaming but the difference is this time it's real. "Be prepared to be mine." He huskily whispers in her ear again. She glare at him hearing his words. "Don't act innocent Ruby. I know you better than anyone else. You still love me, right." Hearing his words, she lose her cool and slap him hard on the face. "Stop talking nonsense Marcus. We are over long ago and don't think too highly of yourself. You have Lilian now so behave yourself." She said to him and walked away, feeling her heartache started to surfaced again.

Lucas noticed something amiss, excuses himself and walked towards her. Although, he was busy socializing, his eyes never left her. "Sunshine.." Lucas lovingly calls her and engulfs her in his warm hugs. "Is everything alright.." She didn't know tears began to blocked her eyes and she tried to control it but Lucas noticed. "You know darling these tears don't suits your beautiful eyes." He wipe her tears with the pad of his thumbs and give her his true charming smile.

"Do you wanna talk about it? You know I only have you whom I only love and cares about? Nothing is more important than you." He said emotionally. She nodded and shook her head. "I'm fine now." Lucas could not contain himself from kissing the top of her head and promised. "Don't worry, I swear to protect you with my life. My single goal in life is to be your guard." Ruby was deeply touched. Internally, she swore to do the same to him. No matter what happened in the future, they would stick together and would never be apart.

They spent nearly two hours socializing with the guests before Lucas called the driver and pulled her out of the party venue. Before they leave, they bid farewell to everyone at the party. Ruby also went over to hugged her mom, Aunt Geneva and Aunty Huang before leaving the venue. When Marcus saw her leaving with Lucas, he was very annoyed and boiled with anger.
