Faux Vows, True Desires

Chapter 222

"Alright, I'll wait. I'm waiting for Stefan's parents to come back so we can discuss the wedding plans with my folks. Don't worry; considering your close ties with Stefan, I'll make sure you get an invite. Hope you can make it to our wedding. Stefan promised to throw me a lavish wedding and make me the prettiest bride ever."

Lucinda wore a contented smile that made Ruby so mad she was practically spinning in place, trying to keep her temper in check.

After all, Ruby had just been released from the detention center, and she couldn't afford to go back.

Patience!

Lucinda was really getting on her nerves.

Seeing Ruby throw a fit, Lucinda wanted to laugh. She didn't hold back her amusement and kept smiling.

The receptionists at the front desk couldn't help but laugh; they were almost doubling over.

Who would've thought that Mrs. Coleman, who looked so innocent like a bunny, had such sharp words like a knife?

Ms. Scott was putting up a good fight but seemed to be losing miserably against Mrs. Coleman's sharp tongue.

Noticing the receptionists laughing, Ruby turned to them, fuming, "What are you laughing at?"

One of them managed to straighten her face and replied, "Ms. Scott, we're not laughing."

"You're laughing; you're laughing at me, aren't you?"

"No, really, Ms. Scott, we're just trying to keep a friendly demeanor while at work."

Not wanting Ruby to take it out on the receptionists, Lucinda redirected Ruby's anger: "Ruby, I can vouch for them. They're just being professional and keeping their smiles on. The one laughing is me." Since when did smiles not constitute as laughter?
