Chapter 529 Chapter 529 Rubys gaze lingered on Troy with a mix of pity and ridicule.

She said, Mr.

MacAfee, sthings cant be forced.

A mans body doesnt lie.

Once age catches up with you and especially if youve overindulged in wine and women its no use pretending.

When it stops working, it stops working.

Troy roared in frustration.

No! My heart still burns with passion! Im still ready for battle! Ruby let out a light laugh.

Ah, but your weapon is rusted and brittle.

Its no longer fit for combat.

Tell me, how can a knight without a proper sword hope to ride onto the battlefield? Troy slumped on the bed, looking like the life had been drained out of him.

He could not stand it he was sitting in front of a feast, yet his body refused to let him enjoy it.

No matter how much his pride resisted, his bodys limits were absolute .

Pulling his clothes on hastily, Troy muttered, Baby, givea few days to recover, and well go again.

I promise III make you beg for mercy next time.

Ruby, exhaling a puff of smoke, replied with indifference, Mr.

MacAfee, perhaps you should go hand focus on your health first.

Troy grabbed his briefcase and left the hotel, shoulders slumped in defeat.

As he stepped out the door, a familiar voice greeted him with a light chuckle.

Well, Mr.

MacAfee, isnt this a coincidence? Troy froze, looking up to see Lauren with Andrew beside her, both regarding him with amused expressions.

M Ms.

Rhodes ... What ... what are you doing here? Troy stammered, his voice trembling .

Laurens smile was as cold as ice.

What Im doing here isnt important.

Whats important is that, when I called you earlier, you said you were at a restaurant discussing business with a client, didnt you? Troys palms began to sweat as he secretly cursed his rotten luck, Why is it always these two? Well, I ... Yes, I was ... discussing business.

Its just that... Troy chuckled nervously as he fumbled for words.

Laurens smile widened into a sharp smirk.

Letguess business discussions that conveniently ended up in a hotel suite ? Troy, lets not beat around the bush.

Do you think I dont know what youre doing here? Troys face darkened, and he growled, Ms.

Rhodes, even if you do know, so what? Mr.

Rhodes already stated he wouldnt interfere in my personal life .

Whether Im meeting a client or doing something else, its none of your concern.

7 He was already frustrated by Rubys dismissive attitude and could not bear to grovel any further.

He thought, So what if Lauren knows I was here with Ruby? This is my private life, and she has no right to meddle in it ! 1/2 +25 BONUS Chapter 529 Laurens voice turned calm and cutting.

Mr.

MacAfee theres no need to get so defensive.

Who you sleep with and who you cheat with is your business honestly couldnt care less.

But letremind you, she added, her tone sharp as a blade, you hold a critical position at Rhodes Corporation If you ever confuse personal pleasures with professional responsibilities if you dare sell out the company for whats between your legs youll be seeing the inside of a courtroom.

Troys face flushed with anger as he snapped, Ms.

Rhodes, if youre accusingof leaking company secrets or betraying corporate interests, then youd better have evidence to back it up! Otherwise, dont waste my twith baseless accusations.

Lauren smiled sweetly, her eyes gleaming with mockery.

Oh, my dear Mr.

MacAfee, you seem awfully nervous.

Are you feeling guilty about something? Troys heart raced, but he forced himself to maintain his composure. Ive done nothing wrong, Ms.

Rhodes .

A clean conscience fears no shadow.

If you have doubts about me, Im more than willing to submit to an investigation by Mr.

Rhodes.

Lauren waved him off with a smirk.

Dont try to use Michael to intimidate me.

Ive said all I need to say -take care of yourself.

As she turned to Andrew, she asked with a teasing smile, Dr.

Lloyd, Ive heard that people who indulge in promiscuity often end up catching ... diseases.

Is that true? Andrew nodded, his tone matter of fact.

Its not guaranteed, but yes, people who are reckless in theirrelationships are at a much higher risk of contracting diseases. Lauren raised an eyebrow, her smirk widening, as Troys face flushed an even deeper shade of red.

His fists clenched tightly around his briefcase as he hurried awayom muttering curses under his breath.
