Translator: 549690339

When Ruby Gregory arrived at the entrance of Pristine’s Enterprises, the late-night meal had just been delivered.

Retracing her steps to the top floor, Ruby placed the food box on her own desk. She caught a glimpse of the light in Steve Burton’s office, closed her eyes and took a deep breath. Then, carrying the food box, she walked towards Steve’s office.

As she got closer and closer to the office door, Ruby’s heartbeat sped up even more. She really wanted to just turn around and flee with the food box in hand.

In the end, it felt like it took all the strength of nine oxen and two tigers for Ruby to finally drag her heavy-feeling feet to the door of Steve’s office.

Ruby raised her hand several times, wanting to knock on the door, but eventually she pulled back awkwardly. After hesitating several times, Ruby finally gritted her teeth and gently knocked three times on the door.

Ruby felt like her heart was about to stop beating. Holding her breath, she perked her ears up and waited for about two seconds before she heard a simple, clear and concise word from inside: “Come in.”

Ruby carefully cracked the door open. Through the gap, she saw Steve sitting at his desk, concentrating on a file in his hand. freewebno(v)el

He was wearing a light gray shirt without a tie, two buttons on the collar undone to reveal his beautiful, delicate collarbone. He appeared elegant, yet casual.

Although he knew someone had knocked, he didn’t raise his head. His eyelashes were long, and as he looked down at the report, they cast a beautiful shadow on his eye socket under the bright office lights, like butterfly wings.

Something in the file seemed to puzzle him as his brows furrowed slightly. Soon he grabbed a pen and made a couple of marks on the paper.

His movements were simplistic yet elegant, an irresistible charm about them.

Ruby felt her heart race even faster. She tightly gripped the food box in her hand, gently closed the door, and walked over to the sofa with the food box before placing it on the coffee table. She glanced at Steve, who was still concentrating on the file in his hand, and did not disturb him.

The office was unusually quiet, with only the occasional sound of Steve flipping through papers while reading the file, and nothing else.

Ruby stood dutifully nearby, as if she were invisible.

After a while, it seemed that Steve noticed no one had spoken. He finally lifted his eyelids, and when he saw Ruby’s figure, his brows furrowed slightly, a barely visible surprise flashing in his eyes.. He lowered his head again, as if nothing had happened, and asked nonchalantly, “Why haven’t you left work yet?”
