Faux Vows, True Desires novel Chapter 223

If Ruby knew that Lucinda was actually the heiress of the Blue family from Skywatch, set to inherit billions, she'd probably flip her lid and go green with envy.

Ruby had always looked down on Lucinda, thinking she's from a lower class. Little did she know, Lucinda's background outstripped hers by miles!

After successfully pissing Ruby off, Lucinda said to the receptionists, “Get back to work; I'm off to see Mr. Coleman.”

"Mrs. Coleman, please feel free."

Within Ascend Global, Mrs. Coleman had free reign.

Once Lucinda left, the two receptionists started chuckling heartily.

“I've learned something,” one receptionist said to her colleague. “I’ve learned how Mrs. Coleman deals with her love rivals. It’s hilarious and annoying for her rival; seeing Ms. Scott’s face go from red to black was just too funny.”

"Yeah, it was an eye-opener. Mrs. Coleman is so clever. The more she laughs, the angrier Ms. Scott gets. Ms. Scott was at a disadvantage from the start."

The whole thing was just too funny.

Lucinda didn't know that the receptionists admire how she handled her love rivals. She took the elevator to the top floor, and as soon as she stepped out, she saw Iris.

"Mrs. Coleman, you're here."

"Hello, Iris."

Iris said with a smile, "Thanks to you, I'm doing well. The boss is still busy in the office; he doesn't know you're here."

Iris winked at Lucinda, implying Lucinda should surprise the boss.

Lucinda suddenly felt everyone around Stefan enjoyed a good drama.

Everyone loved drama, including her.

"Did Ms. Scott come here too, without your boss knowing?"

Lucinda knew Stefan wouldn't meet Ruby, but she couldn't help asking Iris.

Iris laughed and said, "You just came up; you must have bumped into Ms. Scott downstairs. Ms. Scott was stopped from coming up; I don't know how she's making a fuss at the reception. You came just in time; you must have helped the receptionists out, right?"

"Ruby was put in her place by me." Lucinda smiled and said, "Thanks, Iris."

Iris was Stefan's secretary for a reason; she knew exactly what was going on.

She knew Lucinda ran into Ruby and guessed that Lucinda had helped the receptionists.

"You're too kind; I haven't really done anything for you; there’s no need to thank me."

"You should go see the boss." Iris's eyes twinkled, her expression a bit playful.

Mrs. Coleman was a lucky girl to have with Mr. Coleman's undivided attention.

Lucinda just smiled, not lingering to chat with Iris. She walked to the CEO's office and knocked on the door.

"Come in."

Stefan's calming voice came from inside.
