Chapter 525
In the hotel room, Ruby stripped off her clothes and enjoyed a luxurious roseâscented 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.
âTroy, when are you coming over? 1 miss you!â 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, âWhatâs gotten into you, baby? Feeling frisky again?â
Ruby pouted playfully. âYouâre the one feeling frisky! already told you I miss you. Are you coming over or not? I just finished a bath, and now Iâm all soft and smooth⦠and smelling divine.â
Troy hesitated. âHow about tonight, baby? Itâs broad daylight, and Iâm now swamped with work.â
Rubyâs tone turned cold as she huffed. âFine, then. You stay busy with your work, and donât bother coming tonight either. I have a dinner meeting with some executives later anyway, so I wonât have time for you. Bye!â
The irritation in her voice turned Troy into a groveling mess. âNo, no, baby! Donât be mad, okay? Iâll come right now! Just give me 20 minutesâIâll be there. Please donât get mad at me.â
Ruby smirked, triumphant. Men like Troy were so easy to manipulate. âAlright,â she said sweetly, âbut donât forget to bring me what I asked for.
Troy paused, confused. âBaby, what do you mean? What do you need me to bring?â
Ruby feigned exasperation. âYouâre really going to play dumb with me, huh? After everything Iâve done for you? Didnât we agree that youâd let me see the formulas for the Pharmaceutical Divisionâs top three products once the collaboration was sealed?â
Troy hesitated, his tone turning serious. âRuby, those arenât ordinary things. Even though Iâm the head of the division, sharing those formulas would be against the rules.â
Ruby sighed dramatically, her voice turning icy. âFine then, If rules are more important than me, I wonât argue. But donât 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 favoriteâthe âplugâ.â
âBut I guess I overestimated you. Goodbye, Troy,â she said before hanging up, pretending to be furious.
Rubyâs face, however, was filled with smug satisfaction as she stared at her phone, counting down softly. âThree, twoâ¦â
Before she could even reach one, her phone rang again. Troyâs panicked voice blared through the speaker. âAlright, alright, my queen! Why do you always get so angry? You win, okay? Iâll show you the formulas.â
âBut,â he added firmly, âyou have to promise me not to share or copy them.â
Ruby giggled, her voice sweet as honey. âOf course, Troy. Iâm just curious! Once Iâve satisfied my curiosity, Iâll forget all about them. Besides, weâre partners now. Once our collaboration deepens, Amberpeak Corporation will be selling your products anywayâIâll eventually know the formulas.â
Troy chuckled. âYouâre right, baby. Okay, just wait fo Iâll grab the formulas from the lab and head straight
His voice grew increasingly lecherous, his excitemen cackle that sounded like a giddy duck.
Ruby giggled coyly. âHurry up, Troy! Iâve been dying together.â

Troy chuckled. âYouâre right, baby. Okay, just wait for meâwash up, get naked, and get the toys ready. Iâll grab the formulas from the lab and head straight to you. Weâre going to have a lot of fun tonight!â
His voice grew increasingly lecherous, his excitement turning into an embarrassing, highâpitched cackle that sounded like a giddy duck.
Ruby giggled coyly, âHurry up, Troy! Iâve been dying to see you. Letâs have an unforgettable night together.â
Rubyâs face twisted into a venomous smile as she ended the call.
