Faux Vows, True Desires

"You know what? Ruby Scott came looking for me."

Stefan Coleman seemed rather pissed off; he said seriously, "Lucy, Ruby was not the girl I fancied when I was a kid! My relationship with Ruby is not like what you guys think; they all got it wrong; it's all a big misunderstanding."

This was all Gabriel Turner's fault! He needed to have a word with Gabriel.

Gabriel, who was at work, seemed to feel like someone was gossiping about him and suddenly sneezed.

"Did Ruby give you any trouble?"

Though Stefan denied that Ruby was his childhood crush, he knew her quite well.

Ruby had a lot of boys around her since she was a kid, spoiling her into thinking every man in the world would like her.

But he didn't like her.

Knowing about the existence of Lucinda Moore, it would be unlike Ruby to not do anything.

"She slapped me as soon as she saw me."

Stefan said angrily, "She dared to hit you; I will make her pay!"

Lucinda was a bit scared and hurriedly said, "I've already avenged myself. I'm the type who must retaliate, and the slap I returned was even more fierce than hers. When she left, her face was all swollen." Hearing that Lucinda had slapped Ruby back, Stefan asked her worriedly, "Is your hand alright?"

Lucinda felt helpless.

The plot she wrote about in her novel was actually happening in real life.

Did Stefan really read her novel and then learn the moves of the male lead from her story?

Just thinking about it felt a bit strange to Lucinda.

She regretted telling Stefan about her part-time job.

"Ruby is shameless; if you hit her, it will hurt your hand. Let me handle this kind of thing in the future."

Lucinda didn't know how to respond.

"I have a customer; I have to go."

Lucinda made an excuse to end the call.

Cecilia Yates looked at her, laughing uncontrollably.
