Faux Vows, True Desires novel Chapter 9

Emma just found out that the young master of her household has been secretly in love with a girl for a whole decade!

"Emma, I'm leaving."

Stefan pedaled off on his bike.

Lucinda was an ordinary girl. Now that he had a chance to enter her world, he naturally wanted to get close to her as an ordinary guy first, then slowly win her heart.

Emma stood dazed as she watched the young master disappear into the distance.

By the time she snapped back to reality and wanted to chase after him for answers, he was already gone.

"Why would the young master act so rashly?" Emma spun around anxiously on the spot.

He didn't leave any clues behind, which made her extremely anxious, but she couldn't find any answers.

"I need to tell the old lady. She's always been concerned about the young master's marital matters."

Emma mumbled to herself, preparing to tell the old lady, but she hung up the phone as soon as it connected.

"This is the young master's private matter... I better not stick my nose in his business. Keeping my job is the most important thing!"

Emma was afraid that if she spilled the beans, she would be fired by the young master.

Where else could she find such an easy job with good pay?

......

A plane flying back from Novarica slowly landed at Pinehurst International Airport.

As the cabin door opened, the passengers began to disembark one by one, dispersing in different directions.

Ruby, wearing a long light-colored dress, her wavy hair flowing, and sunglasses on, looked around and smiled after getting off the plane.

"Pinehurst, I'm back! Stefan, I'm back!"

Ruby took out her phone from her bag, walking forward while dialing Owen Martinez.

Owen, Stefan, and Ruby, all knew each other since childhood and were once close.

But as they grew older, Owen and Stefan gradually became enemies.

However, Ruby didn't choose sides due to their conflict. Instead, she wanted to reconcile their differences.

"Owen."

Ruby said with a smile, "I'm back. I just got off the plane. Can you pick me up?"

Owen was busy, but his face lit up with a smile when he heard Ruby was back, "You're back? Why didn't you tell me earlier? I could've waited for you at the airport. No problem, I'll come get you now."

"I just wanted to surprise you guys."

Owen didn't pay attention to the word "you guys".

"I'll grab something to eat at the airport. Drive safely."

Ruby didn't eat on the plane and was now hungry.

"Alright, have a bite to eat, but don't get too full. I'll take you to my hotel for dinner later."

Owen said as he got up from his desk.

The piles of documents were nothing compared to Ruby.

Ruby hesitated a bit, then tentatively asked Owen, "Owen, if you're coming to pick me up, can we go to the Anderson Hotel? I could invite Stefan."

Owen's face changed slightly, but he didn't stop.

"Stefan won't come. Even if we go to the Anderson Hotel, you won't run into him."

Stefan didn't actually love Ruby. It was always Ruby's one-sided feelings. The rumors about their relationship were just misunderstandings within the industry.

Not all boys and girls who grow up together end up as lovers or spouses.

"Alright, let's go to your hotel then."

Ruby sensed Owen's dissatisfaction, so she didn't insist.
