Chapter 3 - chapter 3

Ruby, joined the company as a marketing coordinator in the HR department, unaware that the CEO of the company was David, whom she would soon encounter. On her first day, she was nervous but excited to meet her new colleagues. As she was introduced to the team, she heard about David's reputation as a successful and respected leader.

The next day, Ruby arrived at the office building and rushed to the elevator. However, she didn't know that the elevator she entered was only for the CEO, and the employees' elevator was on the other side. The elevator was occupied by a handsome stranger, none other than David, with his secretary William. Ruby pressed the 13th floor, and as the elevator opened, she left, unaware that David's office was on the 15th floor.

Ruby and David moved in opposite directions, with Ruby heading to her marketing team and David entering his office. Ruby's marketing team and manager were very happy with her work.

On her next day, Ruby had a lot of work to do and had to stay late to complete it. As the time has passed, the whole office emptied, and Ruby was the only one left working. Feeling sleepy, she rushed downstairs to grab some coffee. She went to the coffee shop, grabbed a cupof coffee, and entered the company just as it started raining. Thinking she had luckily avoided getting drenched, she stepped into the elevator.

However, she accidentally pressed the 15th floor, and the elevator stopped at David's office floor. Ruby thought it was the 13th floor and left the elevator, entering the office. The office designs were similar, and she didn't notice the difference. as she is walking in office, the lights went out due to the rain, and suddenly she heard some sounds from a cabin.

She was scared, Ruby walked silently and on trouch from her mobile phone, trying to locate the where the sound is coming. The heavy rain and thunder strikes outside made the situation more intense. Ruby found the cabin where the sound was coming from and entered it. What ?she saw a man that shocked her - David, the CEO, was sitting in the corner, scared of the rain, crying and breathing heavily due to his PTSD problem. but, ruby is unaware that he is the ceo of the company.

Ruby watched him with concern and compassion, unsure of what to do next. She slowly approached David, trying not to startle him. "Hello?" she said softly. "Are you okay?" David didn't respond, too caught up in his own world. Ruby hesitated for a moment before sitting down next to him. "Hey, it's okay," she said gently. "You're safe." David slowly looked up, his eyes red and puffy. Ruby's heart went out to him, and she reached out to touch his hand.

As David's eyes locked onto Ruby's, he felt a sense of calm wash over him. For the first time in a long time, he felt like he could breathe again. Ruby's presence was calming, and her gentle touch was soothing. David's grip on Ruby's hand tightened, and he looked at her with gratitude. "Thank you for being here," he said, his voice barely above a whisper. Ruby smiled and nodded, her eyes filled with understanding.

In that moment, Ruby and David connected on a deep level. They both knew that their lives had been forever changed by this chance encounter. As the lights flickered back on, Ruby and David looked at each other, and without saying a word, they knew that their relationship would be different from now on.

As they sat there, holding hands, the rain outside seemed to fade into the background. All that mattered was the connection between them, the sense of understanding and compassion that had brought them together. Ruby knew that she had found a kindred spirit in David, and she was determined to be there for him, no matter what.

The storm outside may have been intense, but the storm inside David had begun to subside, thanks to Ruby's gentle presence. As they sat there, Ruby and David knew that they had found something special, something that would change their lives forever.

As the minutes ticked by, Ruby and David sat in comfortable silence, their hands still clasped together. The rain continued to pour outside, but inside, they had found a sense of peace and calm. They knew that they still had a long way to go, but for now, they were content to simply be together.

David looked at Ruby, his eyes filled with gratitude. "Thank you," he said again, his voice a little stronger now. Ruby smiled and squeezed his hand. "You're welcome," she replied. "I'm here for you, David."

And with that, Ruby and David's journey together began. They would face many challenges and obstacles, but they knew that they would face them together, as a team. The chance encounter in the cabin had brought them together, and now they would see where this newfound connection would take them.
