Faux Vows, True Desires

Driver Noah almost called Stefan "young master" as he got out of the car. He was about to slip, but a gentle nudge from Emma reminded him of Stefan's previous warning, and he quickly corrected himself. "Sir, can we get going now?"

Noah tried his best to sound like an ordinary driver, devoid of any formal reverence, fearing that Lucinda might notice something.

"Sure thing."

Stefan was quite pleased with Emma and the driver's cooperation. He planned to give them a raise after meeting Lucinda's parents.

As Stefan tried to take the gifts from Emma, she and the driver quickly loaded all the presents into the car, filling the vehicle with all sorts of gifts.

Lucinda thought Emma had bought too many things but did not voice it out in front of Stefan to save Emma from embarrassment.

After all, Emma was the one who had done the shopping on their behalf.

"Stefan, Lucy, it's getting late. You guys should head out. Drop me a text when you get there."

After sorting out the stuff, Emma turned to the couple and said.

"Emma, could you look after my bike?"

"Sure thing."

This was the Anderson Hotel, no one would dare lay a finger on Stefan's bike even if it was left here.

Stefan said this to avoid any suspicion from Lucinda.

He helped Lucinda into the car. Lucinda waved goodbye to Emma.

Once the car was on the move, Lucinda turned to Stefan, "Emma is so sweet, she must be really close with your mom, right? She treats you like her own nephew." Emma had worked for the Anderson family for over a decade, taking care of Stefan since he was small.

"Yep, we're pretty close."

Stefan replied smoothly without exposing any flaws.

Whatever he said, even if it was a lie, was convincing.

"You let Emma buy too much stuff."

Stefan smiled slightly, "I'm meeting your parents for the first time, I want to make a good impression."

Looking at him, Lucinda praised, "Stefan, with your hardworking attitude, you'll surely make it big in the company."
