Ruby Anne With An E Novels & Stories

Still waiting. He had told himself for years he didn’t care what it said. That it was probably full of excuses, not worth the read. But tonight… it burned in his desk drawer. The next morning, Anne attended a private showroom meeting at one of the city’s top design venues. Paparazzi caught glimpses of her—“Aurelia Hathaway: the mystery queen of European design”—they hadn’t yet connected the dots. Not yet. That afternoon, Billy’s sister emailed again.

Anthea immediately took her hand back before distancing herself from Rayan. "What are you doing here, Lily?" Rayan asked coldly after composing himself. Anthea didn't look slightly bothered by his question as she lazily stared back at him. "You have got my name wrong, Mr. Allen. It's Anthea Morin," Anthea answered casually while correcting him. Rayan narrowed his eyes slightly at her while pressing his lips in a thin line. He would do that a lot whenever he was dissatisfied. A habit Anthea was well aware of.

Before she could come up with even a half-baked excuse, a familiar voice cut through the tension. "Hey, Anna, babe! How are you?!" A tall, glamorous woman in a glittering cocktail dress and enough diamonds to blind a man at twenty feet sashayed into the scene. Evelyn Brooke. Socialite. Wife of Defense Secretary Arnold Brooke. And... someone Annabelle vaguely remembered from college? Annabelle blinked. What the hell? Before she could even process, Evelyn swooped in and hugged her like they were besties from birth. Annabelle stiffened. Evelyn had barely known her name back in college—if she even knew it at all. They'd been classmates, nothing more.

Anne tapped on the call button on her phone and put the phone to her ear and waited. Andrei picked on the third ring. "Sebastiani here." "Hello Andrei. This is Dr Lowan speaking." Anne said. "Hi Mrs Lowan". Andrei was surprised to hear her voice. "How are you doing?". She asked. "Uh...fine I guess". Andrei replied. "Did Anna give you my number?".

Rosell, who was in the office with her was stunned. Anne has been in a good mood for the past two days. What phone call was able to sour her mood so quickly? “Do you need me to introduce you to them?” Jordan continued indifferently. “There is no need for that. So, she’s miss Gwen from the Ventura family?” “You’ve heard of the Ventura family? You've come to know about something that you shouldn't have been able to know about. Not bad.”

she asks curiously. "No," Kaivan replies. "It was just the two of us." "Then who's the pretty aunt our daughter was talking about?" Anne squints her eyes suspiciously. Her expression shows her doubt. "Did you—" "By God, I didn't bring another woman, Honey," Kaivan interjects, cutting off Anne's train of thought. He responds as if understanding what his wife is thinking. "I was with Edward only. No other participants. Besides, why not just check Kimmy's phone? Maybe she has the photo saved there."

She murmured and looked at me once before she got back to work. It would be the first time in history that Card waited for someone, maybe eager to send home someone he's interested in here in the restaurant. I watched Sabrina do a retouch and look my way, grinning before she put it back in her purse. "Can I ask you something, Anne?" she asked and crossed her arms against her chest as she approached me. I can already smell her soft, fragrant perfume, and her shiny red lips made it even look seductive to look at her.

Anne was almost shouting. "Your replacement?!" Kimberly chuckle. "YES! Replacement! Substitute! A Proxy! An alternative!" Anne can no longer control her temper. "Well then, I guess there's one simple word appropriate only for you, Annabelle Brissac. Despite all those descriptions, you are just an EX!" Kimberly remained calm and spoke coolly. "Yes! I'm Nathan's EX for over two long year's and____" Anne was furious. Since she was also pregnant, Kimberly decided to end their nonsense conversation for the sake of her child.

Anne helped me into the car. My chest was heavy with choices I wasn’t ready to make. “Do you want to eat first?” Anne asked, glancing back at me. “We can order food or stop by somewhere… if you still feel like seeing our faces.” “I-I’m fine,” I murmured. “I’m not hungry.” “By the way,” she said, “I’m Anne… and she’s Barbie.” Barbie gave a small wave without looking back. “Things got messy earlier. We forgot to introduce ourselves,” Anne added.

Ashe releases me with a playful smack to the shoulder for my comment about her children; Anne comes up next and pulls me into another hug. “Hello birthday girl! Happy you finally made it.” She tells me. Anne is our Aussie darling, but DO NOT say she lives in the “bush” or “down under” it annoys the piss out of her. She’s another blonde haired, blue-eyed beauty with beautifully tanned skin from the ranch she lives on. She’s a professional chef during the day but is a rancher by night, or however the phrase goes. She’s relatively tall, about 5 foot 10 inches and curvy, and she’s absolutely gorgeous with her freckles across the tops of her shoulders and across her nose and cheeks.
