Rising from the Ashes BY Only For You Novel

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 +25 BONUS 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 .

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 .
