12 Restaurant, Bourbon city

At Maple Collaboration

" Thank you so much for your offer" Ruby thanked Mr. Steven Brown once again.

He gave a small smile at her.

She stood up from the chair and turned to leave so that she could share this good news with her sister because she has always been a big support for her.

" Miss. Ruby" 

She stopped extending his arm towards her.

" Congrats and  Welcome to our company. Hope we deserve your best services for our company. You will receive an appointment order in your mail by Monday." he said.

" Thank you...Sir. I…. mean... Steven " she stammered and looked at his extended arm. She joined her palm with his palm.

" See you on Monday…" Steven said.

" Have a nice weekend…" saying she left his cabin hurriedly.

…..

As soon as she left the cabin, she dialed her sister's mobile number. 

After four rings, Kathrine attended to her call.

" Hello...sister. I am selected for the job…" she said excitedly.

" wow...cupcake. You shared the very good news.  Let's celebrate. We came to the park as Sam wanted to play." Katherine answered.

" Okay...Sister. I will wait at Bourbon City Kitchen…" saying Ruby disconnected the call.

When Ruby turned her head, she noticed Steven standing beside her with an amusing look.

" Sorry….Sir...Actually….I was so excited to share the news with my sister. So I made a call to my sister forgetting that I am still in your company. " she apologized.

" Am I looking like a devil?" He asked her.

She nodded her head as NO.

" Then why are you stammering while talking with me?" He asked her.

She remained silent.

" I never thought the new job would give so much excitement to anyone…" he asked her.

" First job, First Love and First salary...will always be special…"  she said casually.

" You impressed with your communication skills…." He said.

" Have a nice weekend, Miss. Ruby" saying he exited through the special CEO elevator.

" Such a gentleman…." she thought and took another elevator.

She quickly came out of the company and took the cab to the restaurant, Bourbon city Kitchen. Within forty minutes, she reached the place and seated at the open space table, and was waiting for them.

She ordered the burger and soft drink in the restaurant as she didn't have her lunch in the afternoon. 

...

...

Just in time, Emily and Ardian reached the same restaurant as they already planned to meet at this place. They were seated in the VIP lounge.

" What happened suddenly? Why do you want to meet me? " Ardian asked her.

"A problem raised in the new branch construction site regarding land registration. I have to meet the landowner who stays in Northern America. So I have to meet him and solve the legal issues which arose." Emily explained to him.

" Okay. Go and solve the problem. " Ardian said.

" That….actually. ….I want to ask you one favor. " Emily asked him hesitantly.

" What? " He asked.

" After you left for the hotel last night, my father asked me to withdraw the idea of opening the new branch of my company. He was insisting on marrying you. My father is not caring for professional life" she said helplessly.

" Even in the morning, my father made a call to Aunt Maria and asked her to convince us for our marriage within two months. " Emily explained.

" Please help me in postponing our marriage. You also know why I am interested in starting the new branch," she said to Ardian.

" Okay. I too understand your problem. Even my mother is asking to marry you and insisting on me give her grandchildren. " He said helplessly.

" What! " Emily exclaimed with shock and surprise.

" You made a call at the right time," Ardian said.

" Why are they not understanding about our plans and our career growth? " Emily said in frustration.

" Okay. Tell me what I have to do to help you?" Ardian asked her finally.

" My father will listen to you only. So convince him of any excuses. Please…  Ardian " Emily requested.

" Sure…It's my promise," Ardian assured her.

Meanwhile, the order arrived and they started eating. 

….

….

After Ruby eats her food, Katherine and Little Sam come to the restaurant.

" Where is Martin?" Ruby asked her.

" You know about Martin. He is not comfortable coming in the wheelchair and could bear pity for him due to his disability" Katherine explained.

" I can understand…" Ruby also explained with her sister.

Ruby ordered her favorite French fries and pizza with Orange juice for Katherine.  For Little Sam, she orders black forest pastries and Ice cream.

After a while, their order arrived at the table. Little Sam was enjoying his food as he applied ice cream all over his face while eating. Katherine laughed at him and wiped his cute handsomeness with tissue.

" Momma….I need to use the restroom. It's very urgent. " Little Sam said.

" I will take care of him. You eat your favorite food peacefully. " Ruby said and took him to the restroom.

But she stopped outside as she saw the board with names LADIES and GENTS.

She held Sam's hand and took him to the Ladies Toilet. 

" Aunt Ruby….I am a boy. I cannot use ladies washroom " Little Sam said came out of the restroom.

" Sam…." Calling Ruby came outside.

Unexpectedly she bumped into Emily while catching Sam. 

" Sorry...I was trying to catch my nephew…" Ruby explained

" It's okay. " Emily replied and looked at Little Sam.

" Your nephew is so cute. " Emily complimented. 

" Aunt Ruby...I don't use the Ladies Washroom. I will go to the Gents Toilet…" he said stubbornly.

On hearing their argument, Ruby asked Sam, " May I help you?"

" Yes. But I can't stop peeing for a long time…" Sam said with a sad face.

" But will you help me? "  Little Sam asked.
