In the past two days, Ruby Gregory had thought about talking to her parents to see if there was another way to save the Gregorys. But every time she saw the relaxed and joyful expressions on her parents faces because she and Steve Burton had spent a day and night together, she couldnt bring herself to say anything.
Ruby felt utterly useless, as every time she was only able to make her parents happy through deception.
On Monday morning, as usual, she wore a blue dress, sprayed on a light touch of Chanel No.5 perfume, ate breakfast, and then had the Gregorys driver take her to Pristines Enterprises building.
After the driver left, Ruby didnt enter the company. Instead, she stood by the roadside, sent a text message to her secretary asking for time off, and went to the underground parking garage to get her car and leave.
Ruby didnt know where she should go. She didnt want to face Steve, but she also didnt want her parents to find out about the significant problems between her and Steve. So, she could only drive aimlessly along the congested streets of Ciawell, until 5 0 clock in the evening, the regular end of her workday, when she finally drove back to the Gregorys home.
No matter what time Steve Burton entered the office, the first thing his secretary did was report his agenda for the day.
Today was no different.
Steve stood in the hallway between the secretarys office and the CEOs office, listening to Ms. Taylors steady tone, his eyes casually glancing at Rubys empty seat, just like yesterday.
This was already the second day in a row that she hadnt come to work.
It had been tour days since she swallowed a contraceptive pill and lett his office, and he hadnt seen her since then.
After reporting the days schedule, Ms. Taylor asked, Mr. Burton, the president of Woods Enterprises has arrived downstairs. Would you like to show them up now?
Steve Burton stood emotionless as if he hadnt heard her question.
Ms. Taylor repeated her question, but when Steve remained silent, she bravely called out, Mr. Burton? Mr. Burton?
Steve snapped back to reality, gave Ms. Taylor a brief glance and nodded, then walked straight into his office.
Ms. Taylor was left standing there with her mouth agape.
The always decisive and victorious Steve Burton had been daydreaming?
After waiting for a moment, Ms. Taylor picked up the phone on her desk and called the intercom to Steves office, asking her question one more time. As it turned out, Steve Burton didnt just daydream this one time that day..
