Ruby mathews looked at the two wealthy looking women sitted in front of her..
If she didn't leave this place in less than 20 minutes,she was certain Monti would burst out of anger and no one would like to see an upset Monti.
"Ruby Mathews,if am right?"the younger among the two women asked,
Even has a woman,it was difficult for her to not notice how beautiful the woman was,beautiful was even an understatement she felt,the woman looked like one of those goddess the myth Greeks always talked about
"Yes"ruby answered,realising she was drooling on a fellow woman
"And you have been working for Monti for the last five years if am right"she asked.she nodded
Considering Monti's allergy to women,only a few people knew she worked for him making ruby wonder how these woman knew all that..
"And you do have a husband and a son Leo"
It was now getting creepy how did they know even about her personal life?,she wondered
"My name is Sara,and this is my sister Vivian,we called you for something simple ruby,as long as you cooperate,everything will be better for the both of us"the older woman spook for the first time,though she wasn't as beautiful as the younger one,she still had one of those intimidating faces one would call pretty..
"We want you to quit working for monti and recommend my sister to take up your position"she continued
"What?!!!!,do you even know my job is to care for his three daughters"clearly these women had no idea who she was
"Yes,we know that quite well"the woman,Sara answered her with a smile forming at the corner of her lips
"Then why would you want a job as a nanny,you two look rich enough"she said
"This is a win lose situation ruby,you can either do as we tell you or sit here and ask questions which i promise you,wont be answered"Sara replied
"Okay,and what if i refuse,"her voice sounded confident
"If you refuse,we kill your son Leo and not only that but your husband as well,but if you do agree,we pay you double the amount monti pays you every month till we leave,as i said ruby,this is a win lose situation,"
They even knew her son's name,it was then that Ruby wondered who these women where,how did they find out so much information about her and mostly what did they want from Monti?
Where they his business rivels,no,, if they were,she would have certainly heard about them even on TV,,,,Sara and Vivian.....
"We give you the money in cash right here,right now if you agree to our condition"Vivian spook..
The money was tempting,considering how huge Monti was paying her,making it double would Change her life and that of her little family,but what to do?
What if these people intented to bring harm to Monti or worse his daughters?
Monti loved his daughters,he would give them his life if needed not even considering that they were only adopted and weren't of his blood.
The only time she saw him relaxed or happy was when he was with them.
"Why are you interested in Monti?,cant you find a way to him except his daughters"she asked her voice a little Bit shaky due to how nervous and scared she felt
"Lets just say Monti has something which belongs to us and we plan to get it back by all means,you and i both know you are the only woman under Monti's employment,so no,this is the only way to get what we want"there was soo much determination in Sara's voice that ruby shifted uncomfortably on her chair
"Who are you people"she asked her voice lower than usual
"That is of no great importantance ruby,do as we tell you and you have nothing to lose"Vivian said
"My son and my husband please don't harm them in any way"it sounded more like a plead
No one in their right sences would assume these women would cause any harm to someone
"Your husband is at work and as for your son,lets just say one of our girls,is taking care of him"
Ruby felt her heart skip a bit,she got her phone and called Leo's school
His teacher answered on the fifth ring
"Mrs Mathews,hope nothing wrong happened for Leo not to come to school"ruby felt like something had been stake on her neck,she had droped Leo on the school gate herself
They had him,they had her son
"No,,,i called to em,to let you know,he could,,,,,,em,,,Leo couldn't come to school today"she was fighting so hard not to break down
"Where is my son"she almost yelled when she hang on the teacher
"For now he is safe"Sara answered taking a sip from her glass of wine..
"Okay,,,,,what do you want me to do"she asked
"Good choice ruby,tell Monti you want to quit,tell him your son is seriously ill and needs your attention right now,you will say you have someone,your cousin to take in your place while you are away......Vivian"Sara explained,gesturing to her sister who was looking at her keenly..
Seemed they had already planned right much everything
"What if he refuses??,what if he doesnt want another woman to fill in my place?"she asked knowing fully well how difficult Monti was
"You will make sure he does,you will think of something to convince him Vivian is perfect for this job ruby, remember what you have in stake here"Sara said
Ruby sat quite for sometime thinking of what to do,she couldn't bare the fact that her son could be in danger,she would never forgive herself if something where to happen to him but again,she raised Monti's girls,she loved them like her own and would never want to risk their lives,
What was she going to do?
Sara stood up,so did Vivian
"I think we are done,we are giving you 20 Minutes to make a decision on what is really important to you"Sara said
"And remember we do not intend any harm unless forced"Vivian said empathising the word 'harm'....
Ruby left the hotel they had meant from deep in thought,what was she going to do???
What if she told Monti?,would that change the fate of her and her family??she wondered...
