CLICKSCROLLS MARRIAGE
Mr Deg
After two years of working together, rumors circulated that the company owner's daughter, Ruby, was returning from abroad to join the company. I was nervous, thinking my position was at risk. One morning, a sleek black Range Rover parked outside the main office block, and I knew Ruby had arrived. She was stunning and exuded confidence. As she introduced herself to the team, I was impressed by her warmth and interest in our work. When she approached my desk, I was taken aback by her directness. "Gentleman, my name is Ruby. What's yours, and what do you do?" I stuttered, "I'm Michael, in charge of production and product delivery." She nodded and moved on.
As the days passed, Ruby became known as the "Small CEO." She was assertive and efficient, but also kind and approachable. One morning, she asked me about my church activities, and we discovered a shared interest. She offered me a ride home, and we began carpooling regularly. Our conversations flowed effortlessly, covering everything from work gossip to weekend plans.
One evening, she invited me to her home, and I was struck by her warmth and hospitality. We laughed and talked, and I felt a connection I couldn't ignore. As we parted ways, I realized I had developed feelings for her. But how could I express them without jeopardizing our professional relationship?
The opportunity arose when we went out for drinks, and I mustered the courage to propose. To my surprise, she didn't dismiss me outright. Instead, she asked what made me think she'd be interested. I confessed my genuine feelings, and she smiled, "Let's plan together, but you need to leave the company soon." I resigned six months later, and we began dating intensively.
Three months into our relationship, she introduced me to her parents, and I was warmly received. Her father's words still resonate: "Protect her with all your heart and strength, and she'll make you a good wife." We married two years later, surrounded by close friends and family.
Our honeymoon was a blissful month-long escape to a Ghanaian resort. As we settled into married life, I realized that Ruby's wealth and status didn't define our relationship. She made me feel like an equal partner, and I respected her for who she was. We faced some criticism from friends and family, who thought I was too submissive or that she was too rich for me. But we ignored the noise and focused on our love.
Ruby never tried to change me or dictate how I should live my life. She embraced my quirks and supported my dreams. When we attended a wedding reception, and I felt out of place in my casual attire, she reassured me, "Don't mind them; they take life too seriously."
One evening, as she slept on my lap while we watched TV, I felt a deep sense of pride and contentment. I thought to myself, "They said you'd be disrespectful to me, but it's been over four years, and you've only shown me love and kindness." Our love story is a testament to the power of genuine connection and mutual respect."
