Rising from the Ashes (Andrew and Lauren) novel Chapter 523

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 .
