My Cold Boss
Chapter 25

Before dinner together at the start, they all gathered in the garden behind the house. Dinner together this time the menu is barbeque meat. The men burn meat, sausages, and corn. While the women are in charge of preparing other needs.

"Well, charred." Aska shook her head while looking at her meat that already looked like charcoal.

"That's how, Aska, if you burn meat while teasing girls people," led Yuda who one furnace with Aska. "You are exactly like your daddy when you were young, you like to tease girls here and there" Yuda added.

Since then Aska has always thrown a fistful at Ruby, and unconsciously made Aresh's heart heat up like embers in a furnace. Aresh who had wanted to give up for his sister now decided to fight for Ruby's heart, it's up to Ruby to choose who between the two of them. Clearly, Aresh did not want to regret later in life for giving up before struggling.

"Oh yeah, Robby, by the way Ruby likes to eat what?" Aresh asked in half a whisper, not wanting others to hear him.

"Sister Ruby, she's not picky about food. He eats anything, as long as it's not raw food." Robby answered with a smile.

"Yes, then can you give this to him?" Aresh gives Robby one of the corn he just cooked.

"Oh, of course." Robby walked over to his brother. "Sister, this is for you."

"Thank you, Robby. You are the most kind and understanding sister. Just know that Brother is starving." Ruby whispered with a smile, then ate her first bite of grilled corn. "Mm, good."

"Sister, it's not actually from me, but from that fierce Big Brother's boss." Robby whispered back while glancing at Aresh, while Ruby who saw Aresh throw a smile at him even choked on the corn that he still had not had time to swallow.

"Uhuk uhuk."

"Here, drink it." Aresh suddenly approached and gave Ruby a glass of water. I don't know when he prepared it.

Ruby does not directly receive Aresh's water. The appearance of the young man with a glass of water in his hand was enough to make Ruby cough stop. Apparently Aresh's strange attitude in the office lasted until he got home.

"Thank you, please." Ruby received the water and drank it.

Aresh smiling. "Either. If you eat slowly, don't choke."

Meanwhile, in another corner, Nuara, Mahend, and her mother Ruby smiled to see Aresh paying attention to Ruby.

"It looks like they are close enough now" Naura said.

Dinner went smoothly without any obstacles, there was nothing special that they discussed tonight, just a regular dinner between two families who had a long friendship.

"Sister Ruby," call Robby who's driving. They are currently on their way home.

"Hem, what's up, Robby?" Ruby asked as she leaned back and closed her eyes.

"During this time Sister Ruby often told me that Aresh bang is very fierce and likes to behave arbitrarily to Brother, but how did I see the opposite."

Hearing the sister's words, Ruby hurriedly opened her eyes and fixed her sitting position. "Well, that's also what's been making you wonder all day, Robby. He had suddenly changed his attitude of 180 degrees, from the usually fierce, angry, and careless to rule this and that big Brother, suddenly just be kind, meek, gentle, he even said to Brother, thank you Secretary Ruby, your coffee is delicious, and so on. Nor does he know what happened to him. Brother thinks maybe he ate the wrong medicine, or maybe his head got bumped."

Robby chuckles at Ruby's story. "Son, what aren't you bang Aresh is starting to like Big Brother."

"Ah, don't talk carelessly, Robby. He can't be like that."

"Why not possible, Brother, I saw for myself how to bang Aresh attention to Brother. He even asked what I like to eat."

"Stop talking nonsense, Robby. Drive the right." Ruby tried to end this useless subject. For her, Aresh falling in love with her is impossible, considering Aresh hates her. The man also hated women.

Next day.

"Bund, Ruby went to work first, yeah."

"Yes, be careful, son."

After saying goodbye to his beloved mother, Ruby then immediately came out of the house, not unexpectedly Aresh's car was even in front of the gate of his house.

"Well, sir, why are you here?" Ruby looked at Aresh who was sitting behind the wheel with a look of wonder.

"Oh, that, I stopped by Key's Cake to buy a snack for the kids at the office" replied Aresh. "And I thought ... so I'm near here, so .. I decided to wait for you. We go to the office together." Aresh explained somewhat awkwardly while smilingly looking at the girl.

"O-oh." Ruby hesitated. "Oh yes, where did Mang Ujang go? Why are you driving by yourself?" ask Ruby later. Because it is not usually the boss juteknya bring his own car.

"Mang Ujang is on holiday. Come on in, we're leaving now."

"Good, sir."

Aresh's car began to enter the Adiyaksa Holdings' courtyard. Once in front of the main entrance of the building, Aresh stopped his car. After the two of them got out of the car, Ruby then took out all the boxes of cake in the trunk, Aresh who saw it of course immediately panicked.

"Secretary Ruby, what are you doing?" aresh asked, without Ruby answering, he already knew what the girl was going to do.

"I, I want to bring all these cookies up, sir. It's not like you bought it for the employees' snacks."

"Yes, it does." Aresh takes all the boxes out of Ruby's hands. "Let me take her."

Aresh then walked quickly into the office building. No matter at this moment Ruby was looking at him in astonishment. Still vividly remembered some time ago Aresh once told him to bring all the boxes of cake and forbade security officers to help him.

"God. It turned out that her strangeness still continued to this day," Ruby murmured as she stared at the extremely unusual sight.
