5 Chapter 5: The Ex

James remembers how his best friend Nathan Su invited him out to drink with a couple of their other friends, and he was finally able to relax after working nonstop for weeks. James is the oldest child of the Ning family so he had to take over his father's business. So he cherishes the time he gets to relax with his friends.

"Well look who it is" Vincent Carter a close friend of James says as he smiles at the young lady who just walked into the private room. Ruby Xie a beautiful socialite with long, curly brown hair and a slim body, which is expected of a supermodel, some might say she is the perfect girl.

Ruby walks over to James and sits next to him. James noticing his ex by his side doesn't even acknowledge her and continues to drink slowly.

"Wow James it's been a while since you came out to socialize with the human world" Ruby says in an attempt to get his attention but fails.

"Well, you know young masters Ning and Su are big shot CEO who rarely have time for commoners like us" Vincent says trying to clear the awkward air. Nathan gently laughs showing a small glint in his deep brown eyes. Everybody around continues to talk and drink but James already zoned out the minute Ruby sat near, they dated a year and a half ago but she left him when he was deeply ill and could barely move. He would see her on TV with other guys while he lay on the hospital watching the world pass him by. Once he got better he took over his father's company and became a big, strong and powerful business man, then along came Ruby asking to get back together…

"James how about we sing a song together" Ruby says as she attempts to touch his thigh.

James abruptly stands up, drops his cup and heads for the door. "Wait don't lea…" was all he heard before he slammed the door"

James gets up to brush his teeth. 'BANG' his door was pushed open by his best friend Nathan who is followed behind by his sister Catharine Ning, a very tall lady with remarkable body and hair that's long silky send straight and grey eyes just like her brother wearing a slim fitted expensive stripped navy blue pant suit and vest with a white shirt and leather loafers. Her outfit accompanied with her cold and aloof side makes her look really domineering.
