“Leon likes Ruby.”, Heaven and Mrs Janice kept singing to tease her while Mr James just smiled.
“Guys stop it.”, Ruby said and they stopped immediately and their smile disappeared immediately.
“I want to make a call.”, She said and walked away.
“Why do i have a feeling that Leon has already been rejected?”, Mrs Janice said.
“I think he has.”, heaven said.
“Poor boy! Ruby finally learnt about his crush on her after so long and he’s gonna get rejected.”, Mrs Janice said sadly.
“There is still hope though, who knows maybe ruby might have some feelings for him.”, heaven said and Janice nodded.

“He looks so happy, looks like he found a brother.”, Harry said and hissed as he watched Leon and Rowan.
“Why am I even here in the first place? I couldn’t even answer that question?”, Harry wondered and his phone rang.
it was his dad and his heart skipped a beat.
? “Dad!”
? “What are you still doing there? Are you really there for work?”, Chairman Williams asked.
? “Yes dad! We came here for work and I also want to watch rowan’s every move, I want to make sure that he doesn’t cause any problems for us.”, He said.
? “You don’t have to worry about him, either he causes problem or not, he will soon be out of the company and you will take over from me.”, Chairman Williams said.
? “Okay dad!”
? “I want you back to the company, you shouldn’t ignore all your responsibility as the next CEO of my company and I want to see the work you have been working on over there.”, He said.
? “We will be back soon and besides don’t I still have like four months left.”
? “I want to be sure you guys are really there for work or are you and James lying to me?”
? “No we are not, we are really here to work.”
? “Then you should come back home and show me what you have really done.”, he said and hung up.
“I think I really need to stop picking calls for my peace of mind.”, he muttered.
***** Nextday!*****
Things became very awkward between Leon and Ruby.
Anytime their gaze met, she would always avert her gaze.
“Maybe confessing to her was a bad idea.”, Leon thought.
The atmosphere just changed after that, the vibe was no longer there.
Ruby and Leon were no longer pestering each other, Leon wasn’t in the mood to crack jokes and disturb Rowan and Harry said that he was leaving.
“Why are you leaving?”, Rowan asked him.
“I am just sick of this place and also I don’t want to spend time with you for long.”, He replied.
“So you aren’t leaving before dad asked you to return back?”, Rowan asked and Harry quickly shot a deadly glare st James.
He was the only one who could have told Rowan.
“Either dad asked me to return or not, shouldn’t you be happy that I am leaving? If I were you I’d be happy.”, He said.
“Do you want to stay here? I have only seen you smile here on this trip.”
“Just mind your business.”
“I will join you Mr Harry, I also want to leave.”, Leon said and everyone turned to him a bit surprised.
“Why?”
“I am suddenly not feeling too fine and I just want to go home to rest.”, He explained.
“But ….!”, heaven was saying before she was cut off.
“Let’s all just leave! We have spent enough time here, We should focus on the important thing which is the project.”, Rowan said.
“I don’t want to spoil everyone’s mood especially Ruby.”, Leon said.
“You just made me realize how much time we are wasting not doing anything, the fun is enough.”, He said.
“So technically this trip is over because I said I would be leaving.”, Harry muttered.

This time around, the arrangement was different.
Heaven and Rowan went in a car, Mrs Janice, Mr James and Ruby in another car, Harry and Leon in another car.
