Although Ruby Gregory hadn’t seen Steve Burton’s expression during the whole process just now, she could feel that his mood seemed to be quite good.

Despite Steve Burton and Charlotte Madris having left a long time ago, Ruby could still feel the harmonious atmosphere when the two were in the pavilion. It gave a very warm feeling, like… like back when Steve had thrown away her contraceptive pills, and she hadn’t gone to work for several days, watching a Korean drama with her mom in the living room, a perfect picture of blissful warmth that made her envious.

It didn’t matter whether it was Olivia Foster, or Charlotte Madris, or even Ms. Annie, whenever they were with Steve Burton, even if there was no affection, the atmosphere was never cold.

As for her and Steve, their interactions were minimal, and it seemed that no matter what she said or did, he always found a lot to criticize.

Between him and her, whenever they met, they only had intimate relations, which just always seemed to make her more afraid of being alone with him.

Thinking about this, Ruby furrowed her brow slightly and then realized, belatedly, that Steve never chose a place when it came to her, whether it was in the car, in a restaurant, in a company, or on a viewing platform… In his heart, it seemed as if she were only a toy for him to relieve his stress.

Ruby silently withdrew her gaze from the figures of Steve Burton and Charlotte Madris as they left, and with a slightly lonely expression, turned her head and slowly walked down the mountain.

At ten o’clock the next morning, there was an announcement at Pristine’s Enterprises.

Breakfast time was at eight-thirty.

Ruby originally went to a restaurant halfway up the mountain, but when she was about to leave, she bumped into Madeleine, who dragged her directly to the private restaurant in the presidential suite area at the top of the mountain.

She thought it was going to be only her and Madeleine, but upon entering, she realized that almost all of the five four-person tables were full. Other than Edward Woods, Rusell Henris, and Howard Coleman’s table, which had an empty seat, Steve Burton was sitting alone at one table with three empty seats around him.

Madeleine took the initiative to sit at Howard Coleman’s table.

Ruby had no choice but to sit at Steve Burton’s table.

Steve Burton seemed to ignore Ruby as he read the morning paper. Ruby took a deep breath and sat down directly across from him. Steve then put down the newspaper in his hand and said to the row of waiters standing nearby, “Let’s

” eat.

The waiters orderly served breakfast one by one and placed it on each dining table.

At this time, Ruby took a brief look at the people seated in the restaurant and realized that they were all Pristine’s Enterprises’ top executives’ family members.

The so-called top executives’ family members were the parents of Rusell Henris, Edward Woods, Howard Coleman, and Madeleine..
