Faux Vows, True Desires novel Chapter 338

Iris led Hayes into the CEO's office, gestured to him to sit down on the couch, and then poured him a glass of water.

"Thanks,"

Hayes politely thanked her.

Iris smiled and requested him to wait a bit longer, "The boss will be back shortly. Hang tight."

"Alright," Hayes nodded.

"I've got some other stuff to deal with, so give me a shout if you need anything."

Hayes nodded again.

Iris left the CEO's office.

Hayes picked up the glass of water, took a sip, and then started to look around Stefan's office.

He didn't wander around, but stayed seated on the couch until Stefan entered the room.

He put down his glass, stood up, turned around, and watched Stefan walk in from the door.

Keith had once told him that his cousin's husband was a man who seemed gentle on the surface, but was actually very tough.

Without a certain ability and wrist, how could he support such a big company?

"Mr. Coleman."

As Stefan approached, Hayes stepped forward. He greeted politely, then introduced himself, "My name is Hayes."

"Cuz, how's it going?"

Stefan called him "cuz", which caught Hayes off guard.

Stefan casually put his hand on Hayes's shoulder like a friend and gestured to him to sit on the couch.

Hayes was taken aback by his actions.

"Cuz, why didn't you give me a heads up before coming over? I could've arranged for someone to pick you up."

After sitting down, Stefan noticed that there were only some seasonal fruits on the table, so he got up and walked away.

Hayes didn't know what he was up to, and watched him leave, saying, "I didn't come over on purpose. I had some stuff to take care of, and Keith asked me to bring you something. I thought I'd drop by and check on you and Lucy."

In Skywatch, as the only relative of the Blue family's lady, he kept a low profile. And the Dewey family was at that time in dire straits, barely surviving with the help of Nathan.

No one took the Dewey family seriously anymore.

So, his visit to Stefan wouldn't attract much attention.

Stefan brought back two plates of pastries and fruits, put them on the table, and told him to have a taste, "These are from Lucy's shop, they taste pretty good. Give it a try."

Hayes had already inquired about his cousin's situation in Pinehurst before coming.

He laughed, "I've heard from Keith that the pastries at Lucy's shop are both good-looking and delicious. Even Keith, who doesn't usually have a sweet tooth, can eat two pieces."

Speaking of Lucinda, Stefan showed a gentle smile on his face, and his eyes also lit up, saying, "These are all made by Basil, Lucy helps out when she has time."

"Isn't she writing novels when she has time?"

"Do you read her novels?"

Hayes laughed, "How could I not support the novels written by my cousin? I've tipped her a lot. Honestly, this is the first time I've read a romance novel in my life."

Stefan pulled out his phone, saying, "Me too, because of Lucy, I downloaded a novel reading app for the first time."

He opened the app where Lucinda posted her novels, found Lucinda's novel, read it for a while, frowned, and said, "Someone threw eggs at Lucy's novel."

Hayes was tasting a pastry. Hearing Stefan's words, he quickly asked, "What's wrong with throwing eggs? Each egg requires 100 coins, equivalent to one dollar, the same value as diamonds."

"Throwing eggs means dissatisfaction, it's not a compliment, and Lucy gets no income out of it."
