Chapter 523 Michael called Troy in and personally locked the door behind him. Troy, shifting uneasily, spoke first.

Mr.

Rhodes, about Ruby and me... We did go to the hotel yesterday.

But aside from... well, you know... I was genuinely there to discuss business.

Honestly, if I hadnt kept her happy, we wouldnt have secured the Amberpeak Corporation deal so easily

Michael waved dismissively.

I didnt call you here to scold you.

Troy froze, caught off guard.

I thought you would scold me for mixing personal matters with work! In truth, Troy had not gone to the hotel to talk business at all

Rubys stunning beauty had completely captivated him.

Their initial flirtation quickly escalated into something far more intimate, and the deal came up only afterward

By chance, Troy learned that Ruby was a representative for Amberpeak Corporation.

The realization thrilled him sealing such a significant partnership would be the perfect way to prove himself as the new head of the Pharmaceutical Division

It felt like fate itself had handed him this golden opportunity, and he could not help but feel triumphant. Michael clasped his hands together, his expression stern.

Troy, regarding our collaboration with Ms.

Dickinson, there are some critical details I need to know every single one of them.

Leave nothing out.

Troy straightened up, suddenly serious.

Of course, Mr.

Rhodes.

Ill report everything to you in full detail.

With a project worth two billion, I understand how important it is to get everything right! Michael nodded thoughtfully, then hesitated before speaking again.

Good

Now, tell me everything about your ... time with Ruby at the Stanton Hotel.

And I mean everything.

Troys jaw dropped.

Mr.

Rhodes, you... 11 Michael cut him off.

Dont ask why.

Just think of it as a personal preference

You know how sometimes, after indulging in too much, you just enjoy watching others eat? Its like that.

You get what I mean, dont you ? Troy, confused and a bit disturbed, reluctantly nodded.

He did not fully understand but dared not refuse.

Sighing inwardly, he began recounting his time with Ruby, sparing no detail.

Michael listened intently, his eyes glinting with interest.

On the other hand, Troy felt increasingly uneasy, wondering if Michael might actually be some kind of creep

After leaving Rhodes Corporation, Ruby hailed a cab and returned to her hotel.

Waiting for her in the room was someone standing by the window, admiring the city skyline.

The person did not turn around but asked, Youre back.

How did things go with Rhodes Corporation ? Rubys posture became careful and deferential. Just as you predicted, Ms.

Stevens

Rhodes Corporation is on board and has agreed to the collaboration.

Troy, in particular, is entirely under my control.

Hell do whatever I tell him.

1/2 Chapter 523 The figure by the window turned to face her it was Aspen.

She gestured for Ruby to sit down

Aspen said with a faint smile, Well done.

It seems my efforts to get you out of prison werent wasted.

Ruby, however, did not dare sit and remained standing.

I owe you everything, Ms.

Stevens.

Ill do whatever it takes to repay your kindness.

1 Aspens smile remained faint.noveldrama

Spare me the gratitude.

We both know the truth.

All you need to remember is that Im the one who gave you this second chance.

I can help you get your revenge on Lauren.

Her tone grew colder.

After all, those years in prison werent easy for you, were they? Rubys eyes filled with venomous hatred

Exactly.

Its because of that bitch Lauren that Im willing to stoop so low as to sleep with someone like Troy just to set my plan in motion.
