Faux Vows, True Desires
Chapter 26
"Lucinda."
Stefan pedaled his bicycle out from inside.
On seeing Lucinda and Ruby chitchatting, Stefan felt uneasy, so he pedaled faster.
Ruby was flabbergasted when she saw him riding a bicycle out.
Where was Stefan's fancy car?
She remembered Stefan loved luxury cars, and the garage was packed enough for a car show.
"Stefan, you're out."
Lucinda greeted him with a smile and whispered to Stefan, "Stefan, when did Ruby come back? She seems upset. Did you guys have a fight? I invited you to dinner and invited her too, but she said you wouldn't eat with me."
She subtly nudged Stefan's arm, lowering her voice even more, "Don't mind her. She just returned from abroad. All her family is overseas. You're the only one she can rely on here."
Upon hearing that Lucinda invited Ruby for dinner, Stefan felt heavy-hearted.
However, he could not confess to Lucinda, for fear that he would scare her if she knew his real identity. Now Lucinda always thought that he was just a staff member working at Ascend Global, and did not know that he was the head of Ascend Global.
"Lucinda, get in, let's go. We'll talk during dinner."
Stefan gestured for Lucinda to get on his bike, sending Ruby a glare.
Lucinda looked at Ruby, then at Stefan. Something felt off between the two, but as an outsider, she had no idea about their history, so she remained silent.
"Oh."
Just as Lucinda was about to sit on Stefan's bike, she remembered she came here on a bike. So she told Stefan, "Stefan, leave your bike in the company and ride my e-bike. It's faster. It's too hot to cycle." She mumbled to herself, "After dinner, I'll get a sunshade for the e-bike, so we can avoid the sun when going out."
