Faux Vows, True Desires novel Chapter 25

"I received your kindness." Stefan didn't take the two bags, he said simply, "But I ain't short on ties and watches."

He never overlooked his needs.

He had so many ties at home that he couldn’t even keep track.

As for watches, he only had two hands, how many could he wear?

But, he couldn't accept gifts from any woman other than Lucinda.

"Ruby, I'm busy right now."

Stefan's words were like shooing her away.

Ruby's face changed, she hurriedly picked up the two bags, picked up her limited edition designer bag, held her head high, strutted away in her high heels.

Even if Stefan didn't accept her gifts, there were plenty of people who would love to have them.

Ruby stormed out of Ascend Global and saw Lucinda at the entrance. These two strangers couldn't help but size each other up.

She's such a beauty. Ruby complimented Lucinda in her mind.

But Lucinda thought Ruby’s makeup was too thick to not look good.

She usually wore light makeup, most of the time no makeup.

She's young, with tender skin, even without makeup, she looked better than those with makeup.

Since she was a child, people had said that her beauty didn't resemble the Moore family.

The Moore family wasn't ugly, but they couldn't be said to be very attractive. In short, Lucinda's beauty wasn't inherited from the Moore family because she didn't resemble them.

Her mother said her beauty was inherited from her grandmother, who was also very beautiful in her youth.

Lucinda never met her grandmother, as she passed away early, leaving no photos behind.

At this moment, these two strangers, even if they met, had no intersection.

Ruby headed for her red Ferrari.

While Lucinda sat on her electric scooter, took out her phone and called Stefan.

When Stefan answered the phone, Lucinda laughed and said, "Stefan, you're knocking off soon right? I'm at your office entrance waiting for you, let's grab a bite together."

Ruby, who was about to drive off, heard Lucinda calling Stefan's name, paused for a moment, and listened attentively to Lucinda.

"I finished my morning work early, can knock off ten minutes early. I'll be right out."

Seeing the intense sunlight outside, Stefan felt bad for his newlywed wife waiting for him under the hot sun, so he unusually wrapped up his work early and hurried out of the office.

Iris wanted to look for him, seeing him come out, she called out, "Mr. Coleman."

Stefan had already breezed past her.

Lucinda put her phone back in her pocket.

She felt the sun was too intense, but looking around, there was nowhere to shelter, she could only wait for Stefan.

Fortunately, Stefan could knock off ten minutes early, otherwise, if she had to wait here for ten more minutes, she'd really get roasted.

"Excuse me."

Ruby got out of the car, walked over, and politely said to Lucinda.

Lucinda looked at her and instinctively said, "Haven't you left yet?"

She looked at Ruby's convertible again.

Riding an electric scooter, you'd get sunburned.
