Faux Vows, True Desires novel Chapter 284

The photos were taken to prove to his boss that he was working as per contract, not slacking off.

Cecilia got back to the cashier's desk and whipped out her phone again to receive some more transfers.

In the end, she replied with a "thank you" emoji.

Owen, after sending Cecilia a mountain of transfers, waited for her reply on his phone, only to be met with a "thank you" emoji.

"You're so stingy, can't even bother to type me a few words?" He retorted.

"You must know I'm not in a good mood right now, Lucinda probably spilled the beans to you. Can't you even bother to give me a call to comfort me?" Owen was grumbling.

Getting bored with his phone, he decided to check Facebook for some new stuff online.

The moment he opened Facebook, he saw a post by Cecilia from a minute ago. It was a photo of a handsome guy, with the caption, "A handsome guy came into the shop today. He's a stunner from every angle."

In addition to the caption, Cecilia added a drooling emoji.

Owen looked at the photo and had to admit that the guy was indeed quite a looker, the type of guy women went crazy for.

So, Owen decided to give Cecilia a call.

Seeing Owen's incoming call, Cecilia picked up, delighted.

"Cecilia!" He said, emphasizing each syllable.

"Are you still mad?" Cecilia could hear the anger in his voice and giggled, "Want to send more transfers? I'm free now and my internet's fast, I can accept however many you send."

"I was sending them only to you, who could snatch them from you?" He said, sounding annoyed, "You knew I was transferring money, and clearly knew that I was upset."

"Of course, I knew that. You always send me money when you're angry, I wish you were angry 24/7 so I could receive endless transfers."

Owen was left speechless.

He knew that she had a knack for making people uncomfortable with her words, she wasn't really one for comforting words.

But he still couldn't resist hearing her speak.

"Cecilia, I've given you so much money, can't you do something for me in return?" Owen sounded frustrated. "Didn't Lucinda tell you? Can't you comfort me a bit?"

"Forget it, Lucy didn't even invite me to watch a movie with her, I'm still feeling left out. It's a good thing you send me transfers when you're angry, at least with so many transfers, I can keep my regrets out of my mind. What should I do? What's the point of what I do? Mr. Martinez, the one you love is Ruby, only she can calm your anger. I don't have that power; we only quarrel when we meet."

Owen was speechless. "Don't mention Ruby to me anymore."

"As if the sun would rise from the west," Cecilia mumbled.

Owen heard Lucinda joining in, "Really? Then I must get a telescope right away, let's watch this miracle tomorrow. I've lived for 24 years and never seen the sun rise from the west."

He hung up the phone without saying anything else.

If that continued, he was sure to be driven mad by Cecilia.

And that Lucinda was just as infuriating, he had no idea what Stefan saw in her that made him like her.

"Lucinda's good points are none of your business, as long as I know them, that's enough," Stefan retorted.

Cecilia found the other end too quiet, took her phone away from her ear and saw that he had hung up. She laughed and said to her friend, "He's such a pushover, couldn't even handle a little argument and hung up."

Lucinda was laughing so hard that she was clutching her stomach, "I wonder how much mental pressure Owen is under right now."
