Ruby smiled amid tears. She knew she needed all the help she could get, especially now that Derek was bent on ruining her image before her once loyal employees.
"Okay. You have my permission, and thank you so much for always being there for me."
"It's my pleasure, Ruby." Kai hesitated before adding. "Is there anything else troubling you?"
Ruby's chest tightened with fear as she shook her head. "No."
"Are you sure?" Kai pushed softly.
Ruby's nails dug into her fist as she recalled the blackmailer's words. "Yes."
"Okay....if you say so. Expect Rhonda by noon. Also, the detective I sent just informed me that they have arrived in front of your company building. They are a division of the police department. So you shouldn't have a problem explaining anything to your ex. The officer leading the team is Diego and he has been briefed."
"Thanks for everything, Kai," Ruby whispered into the phone. "I'll talk to you later." She ended the call, letting out her first sigh of relief.
