Faux Vows, True Desires novel Chapter 319

Madeleine was convinced she’d hit the jackpot with some sort of philter and would quickly establish a steady relationship with Nathan.

However, when she went to the Blue family, she waited all day but Nathan never returned. He had gone on a business trip, leaving Keith Blue at Blue Corporation in Skywatch.

She was seething but powerless.

As the head of the Blue family, Nathan was obviously a busy man.

In the evening.

After work, Lucinda, being the newbie, didn’t have to work overtime. She texted her husband, saying she’d drop by the coffee shop first.

Just as she sent the message, Stefan called.

She quickly glanced around to make sure nobody would overhear her phone conversation before she relaxed.

“Darling.”

Normally, she’d address Stefan by his name, but to avoid arousing suspicion, she sweetly called him darling. A smile tugged at Stefan's lips.

“Darling, aren’t we having dinner together?”

“No, I ordered takeout to the café. I’ll go help out there first.”

She was also worried about her friend's situation.

She wondered how Cecilia and Owen were doing.

Stefan was silent.

“Darling, tomorrow, I’ll definitely have dinner with you. Don't be mad.”

Hearing her cajoling him, Stefan chuckled, “I’m not mad. Your husband is very magnanimous, not petty at all. Fine, we’ll let it slide tonight, but the day after tomorrow, you have to come with me to a social event. You have to learn not just the company operations, but also socializing.”

Lucinda's social circle was too narrow at the moment.

“Sure, darling. You go eat, don’t starve.”

“Miss me?”

Stefan’s voice dropped, sounding incredibly attractive. Lucinda hadn’t really cared about other people's voices before, but since knowing Stefan, his voice was her favorite.

Lucinda left the company and walked to the side of the road. A bus passing by the Serendipity Cafe just happened to come by, so she got on.

“I miss you.”

Hearing her say she missed him, Stefan chuckled lowly, “Tonight when I get home, show me just how much you miss me.”

Lucinda blushed slightly, replying, “I’m on the bus now, Let’s chat later.”

Reluctantly, Stefan hung up the call.

No sooner had their call ended than Keith called.

As soon as Lucinda answered, her brother asked, “Lucy, who were you just talking to? I tried calling a few times but you were always on a call.”

“I was talking to Stefan. What’s up, big bro? Is everything okay with you and Dad?”

“What could possibly happen to us? We’re totally fine, don’t worry. How was your first day at work? I held off calling you all day so I wouldn’t interrupt your work, but I couldn’t help it anymore. Actually, you didn’t need to join Ascend Global. After you came back, I could’ve trained you myself.”

“Lucy, don’t overwork yourself or push yourself too hard. If you really can’t learn it, it’s okay. I’ll hire some professional managers to handle the business and you just need to collect the money.”

In the end, Keith was still worried about his sister who had finally returned. He was afraid she’d overwork herself.

“Bro, I can take care of myself. I really like my current lifestyle.”

Before she went to work in the afternoon, Ike had called to ask about her adaptation to work.

Lucinda felt her brother's concern and felt like a kid in front of him.

Keith sounded a bit disappointed, “You really like working? I thought you were tired and wanted to quit. You can choose not to work, I can support you.”
