At 7:20, Edward Woods, Rusell Henris, Howard Coleman, and Madeleine exited the office, bidding Steve Burtonwho was still processing files in his officegoodbye as they left one after another.
At 7:35, Maya Mitchell put down her mouse, her tone tender as she asked Ruby
Gregory, Ruby, you havent finished yet?
Ruby, who it seemed was diligently but slowly filling out the form, paused upon hearing Mayas voice. She looked up and shook her head at Maya.
Maya glanced at the lit-up CEOs office, briefly contemplated, and kindly offered Ruby, Do you need help Its already past seven; I dont know what time will it be when you finish.
Of course, she didnt need help. All she wanted was to drag out this bit of work until only she and Steve remained in the top-floor office.
Ruby shook her head and declined, No need, thank you. Ill be finished soon.
Maya took another look at Steves office and thoughtfully turned to Ruby, who seemed to be fully engaged in her work, Or shall I wait for you so we can leave work together?
That was even less needed!
Ruby had just made up her mind when she slightly furrowed her brows. Though Maya had always been kind to her, why did she somehow feel odd about Maya at this moment?
Ruby turned her head and scrutinized Maya for a moment but couldnt detect anything odd. She then smiled and responded, No need. Someone will be picking me up soon.
After pausing, Ruby added, Maya, thank you. You go ahead.
Maya nodded, hesitated a bit, then turned her computer off, slowly packed up and stood up. Seeing that Ruby was still working, she managed to say, Ruby, goodbye.
Goodbye. This time, Ruby didnt even lift her head when she responded.
Maya, her bag in hand, paused for a moment before slowly heading out of the office.
Ruby waited for Maya to get into the elevator before lifting her gaze from the computer screen. At this point, no one else remained in the top-floor office.
The report Ruby was working on wasnt particularly complicated. She feared Steve would ask why she was still not leaving work; thus, she intentionally left off a part of it and halted her work.
She glanced at the timeit was already 8:45.
At 9 0clock, the late-night snack prepared by her mother would be delivered.
Ruby took her workcard, tiptoed from her seat, visited the restroom, and then took the elevator downstairs..
