Ruby Gregory turned her head with some confusion, looking at Maxwell Gregory.

Is she going to work as a secretary assistant in Steve Burton’s company? Why doesn’t she know about this?

Maxwell Gregory completely ignored the doubts in Ruby’s eyes, and continued to speak to Steve, “Steve, I hope you will take good care of Ruby when the time comes.”

Steve Burton showed no emotion, only maintaining his usual aloof attitude, responding to Maxwell Gregory, “Uncle Gregory, of course.”

Upon seeing Steve agreeing, Maxwell Gregory burst into laughter, saying, “Steve, I have some business to attend to, so I won’t disturb you any longer.”

With that, Maxwell Gregory stood up. He glanced at Ruby who was preparing to leave, and then added, “Oh right, Steve, didn’t you say you were leaving the banquet for some business? Don’t drive if you’ve been drinking. Luckily, Ruby drove here. Let her give you a ride.”

After a slight pause, Maxwell Gregory seemed a bit hesitant, adding to Ruby, “Ruby, you’ll give Steve a ride, understood?”

Ruby cast a glance at Steve and seeing that he didn’t refuse, she could only nod in agreement.

Only then did Maxwell Gregory leave, satisfied.

On the corner sofa, only Steve and Ruby were left, and it suddenly seemed a lot quieter. Only the melodious violin song from the distant banquet surrounded them.

Steve Burton lazily sat on the sofa, his fingers constantly spinning the crystal cup on the table.

Ruby Gregory sat across him, her eyebrows and eyes calm.

The two didn’t exchange a word.

Pristine Enterprises is renowned worldwide, owning a piece of land in various large business opportunities, and is considered the industry leader.

Therefore, since his birth, Steve Burton was enveloped in a halo.

Brought up in luxury from childhood to adulthood.

Even without showing anger, his background alone already made many people apprehensive.

Ruby Gregory was no exception.

She was also wary of Steve Burton, but back when their relationship was good, that kind of apprehension wasn’t so obvious in her heart.

But now it’s different, now she’s not just apprehensive about Steve, but there’s also some fear in her heart.

Therefore, the two were sitting together in silence, which made Ruby increasingly nervous, until her palms were full of sweat.

Just when Ruby didn’t know how much longer she could maintain her calmness, Steve Burton stood up and walked away without a word.

Ruby Gregory, unclear if he wanted her to drive him, had to quickly follow.

As they exited the club, the night outside was already deep, the neon lights on the roadside reflecting each other.

When Ruby arrived, the club’s parking was already full, so she found a temporary parking spot on the roadside, which was a bit far away from the entrance of the club.

Ruby and Steve always maintained a large distance, with pedestrians constantly passing between them. To anyone passing by, they might seem like strangers to each other.

The expression on Steve’s face, along with Ruby’s car, gets closer and closer, it gradually becomes more and more sullen.

Ruby noticed Steve’s unhappiness, but she didn’t know why he was unhappy, so she became even more cautious, keeping her eyes straight ahead as she walked.

Ruby pulled out her car key, prepared to unlock the car, when all of a sudden, Steve’s phone rang.contemporary romance

Steve answered the call.

The voice of the person calling was a little loud. Even over the phone, Ruby faintly heard, “Bro, I’m coming to pick you up, where are you?”
