Rising from the Ashes (Andrew and Lauren) novel Chapter 525

Chapter 525

In the hotel room, Ruby stripped off her clothes and enjoyed a luxurious rose–scented bath. Afterward she sprayed perfume generously around the room, filling the air with a sweer, seductive arros

She picked up her phone and dialed Troy.

“Troy, when are you coming over? 1 miss you!” she coped, her voice dripping with allure.

Busy at work, Troy felt a shiver run through him when he heard her sultry tone. He laughed, half- joking, “What’s gotten into you, baby? Feeling frisky again?”

Ruby pouted playfully. “You’re the one feeling frisky! already told you I miss you. Are you coming over or not? I just finished a bath, and now I’m all soft and smooth… and smelling divine.”

Troy hesitated. “How about tonight, baby? It’s broad daylight, and I’m now swamped with work.”

Ruby’s tone turned cold as she huffed. “Fine, then. You stay busy with your work, and don’t bother coming tonight either. I have a dinner meeting with some executives later anyway, so I won’t have time for you. Bye!”

The irritation in her voice turned Troy into a groveling mess. “No, no, baby! Don’t be mad, okay? I’ll come right now! Just give me 20 minutes–I’ll be there. Please don’t get mad at me.”

Ruby smirked, triumphant. Men like Troy were so easy to manipulate. “Alright,” she said sweetly, “but don’t forget to bring me what I asked for.

Troy paused, confused. “Baby, what do you mean? What do you need me to bring?”

Ruby feigned exasperation. “You’re really going to play dumb with me, huh? After everything I’ve done for you? Didn’t we agree that you’d let me see the formulas for the Pharmaceutical Division’s top three products once the collaboration was sealed?”

Troy hesitated, his tone turning serious. “Ruby, those aren’t ordinary things. Even though I’m the head of the division, sharing those formulas would be against the rules.”

Ruby sighed dramatically, her voice turning icy. “Fine then, If rules are more important than me, I won’t argue. But don’t bother getting in my bed again. I even bought some special lingerie just for you- lace, frills, everything. I even picked up two soft whips and your favorite–the ‘plug‘.”

“But I guess I overestimated you. Goodbye, Troy,” she said before hanging up, pretending to be furious.
