Material Girl

'Cause we are living in a material world
And I am a material girl
You know that we are living in a material world
And I am a material girl

At this time, Ruby seemed to be born into a new woman.
She exuded immeasurable charms, her aura was intensely sensual wherever she stepped. Her confidence bubbled out.
It's all because of Vince. He really knew how to flatter a woman. He knew exactly how to pamper a woman.
Moreover, Ruby was no longer a young girl. This added to the fact that she was very confident over other young girls who could still rely on their young and fresh bodies to attract any guy.
However, for Ruby, she didn't need to act like that because Vince was clearly very infatuated with her, regardless of her current age.
After all, love was not only about the logic of age, right? Love only needed the agreement of both parties in the union of heart and body, whatever the motive.
And Ruby had got both. Lucky? Maybe.
Ruby's aura of charm became more and more incomparable every time she stepped into the cafe. Some of the cafe crew girls sometimes teased her as if they had a radar that knew something was different about Ruby.
"Sis Ruby, it looks like you're in love."
"Eh? Why is that?" Ruby was also surprised when one of the cafe maids pointed at her with that sentence.
"Sister's face looks more radiant and smiles a lot these days."
"That's right, Sis! We feel for sure Sis Ruby is in love with someone."
"Come on, just confess, Sis! Tell us, who is that lucky guy?"
The cafe waiters were urgently curious. Ruby just blushed and looked down in shame. She didn't expect that the change in mood and feelings would be so obvious in the eyes of others.
"Sis, is that ... the handsome prince who's been coming around a lot lately?"
Ruby glared at the maid in disbelief that they could immediately guess.
"Is he? Right, Sis? Waahhh!"
The cafe waiters were even more excited after not hearing any refutation from Ruby's mouth. This indicates that it was true that the man who made their favorite singer smiled often was a handsome man who was very quiet but always looked at Ruby every time the woman came on stage.
Ruby found it difficult to make the female waiters silent after simultaneously cheered, further embarrassed the woman who liked the red dress.
"Ssshh... you guys don't make such a fuss, ah ... I don't like it if the Manager finds out about it." Ruby said.
Those waiters surrounded Ruby, giggled, and began to quieten their voices.
Unfortunately, the cafe manager suddenly found out about this news, who knows from whom.
Ruby has enjoyed her passionate love life. When the cafe manager admonished her not to be too intimate with Vince, Ruby turned a deaf ear.
She thought this was a gift from Tian (God/heaven) that should not be missed. Vince was an oasis for the soul of Ruby's womanity who needed a loving caressed.
Vince gave his all. Affection, s3x, and also materials. How could Ruby possibly refused that? Moreover, she did not think that at the age of nearly 40 of her, there were young bachelor who were attracted to her.
'What's wrong with me enjoying this?' That's how Ruby thought every time she remembered the cafe manager's warned.
She lived a passionate life with Vince for more than 2 months. Even so, it's a shame that Vince had never once expressed love word or married Ruby. Let alone propose for marriage, he even didn't propose to her to be a girlfriend. How come? Why?
However, Ruby continued to reassure herself by the thought that the most important thing was that Vince was always stood near her and continued to shower her with affections. 'Maybe Vin is not the kind of person who likes to spit the word of love. Perhaps … to him, action is more important than words.'
OK, so Ruby continued to reconcile her anxiety. She didn't want to occupy her mind on things that might just be too much.
She just thought it was normal for young people nowadays to be in love. As long as the two of them stayed connected to each other and continued to approach each other, then a poetic word of love was not needed.
So Ruby ignored the voice in her mind. She was happy with Vince as he is. Didn't want to demand too much from the young bachelor.
"Just be grateful for what you have, Ruby." So said one of her friends when she complained. It also strengthened Ruby to continue to be grateful for her togetherness with Vince.

Vince was still showered Ruby with all kinds of attention. Everything. Sometimes it even seemed like an exaggeration, like changed Ruby's old car with a newer car whose price had sky-rocketed.
For Vince as a man from a rich family, it was not difficult at all. No big deal about that thing. Whatever he wanted, especially when it came to wealth, then nothing in this world could stand in his way.
What woman in the world was not happy to be showered with treasures besides got daily attention and intimacy?
Ruby felt she surpassed any current queen. She felt the world in her hands.
Along with that, Ruby's beauty was undeniable. It was all thanks to the expensive treatment she underwent according to Vince's generosity.
Especially at the age of nearly forty, proper and good care was like a very valuable treasure. Ruby couldn't deny it. In fact, she really needed it.
Didn't say she's a materialistic woman. Where in the world were there no materialistic women today? All women needed themselves to be pampered in various aspects. Thus, Ruby was sure that she was not overdoing it if she continued to accept Vince's kindness in pampered her.
More than that ... it's a world centered on materials, possessions, and money. This was a world where money reigned supreme. Wouldn't it be lucky for Ruby if she got both? Money and love.
For other women, go ahead if they want to grit their teeth and look enviously at her.
After all, she had never asked for it. Everything was always Vince who delivered them to her. What's wrong with accepted what people gave? Why be hypocritical and refused them?
And she had a reason for that.
