Ruby Gregory joined Pristine’s Enterprises, and Lady Gregory had never been able to talk to Steve Burton about this matter. Now that it was about Ruby,

Lady Gregory followed up on the previous conversation, saying: “Steve, this is Ruby’s first time working, she must have caused you a lot of trouble, and we appreciate you taking responsibility for her.”

Steve then slowly moved his gaze away from Ruby’s side face, and as he looked at Lady Gregory, his eyes still held the same tenderness as when he looked at Ruby. He replied indulgently, “Of course.”

Lady Gregory was delighted to see Steve accept her words without hesitation. She was about to ask Steve to eat more when a servant’s voice came from outside, “Madam, the master is back.”

As soon as the servant’s voice settled down, Maxwell Gregory walked into the dining room with his briefcase.

Lady Gregory quickly stood up, took Maxwell Gregory’s briefcase, and put it on a nearby table. She pulled out a dining chair for Maxwell Gregory to sit down. Steve politely put down his chopsticks and greeted, “Uncle Gregory.”

Noticing Steve, Maxwell Gregory’s face showed a hint of joy, “So Steve is here too.”

Maxwell Gregory’s return changed the topics at the dining table from family matters to business.

Lady Gregory and Ruby had little to say, so most of the conversation was between Maxwell Gregory and Steve.

Maxwell Gregory kept asking Steve questions, mostly about Pristine’s Enterprises’ future work plans.

Maxwell Gregory’s tone sounded like a casual conversation between two people, without any distinction of rank.

Though Steve maintained an expression of great respect for Maxwell Gregory, his tone placed himself in the younger generation’s position, giving face to Maxwell Gregory.

But as Ruby listened to their conversation and looked at the table full of carefully prepared dishes by her mother, she couldn’t help but feel a sense of discomfort.

It was not enough that she had to stand in a position of pleasing Steve; even her parents, at their age, had to treat Steve with such caution and care.

Maxwell Gregory said with a smile, “So Pristine’s Enterprises’ biggest project in the second half of the year is to launch a project in the southern suburbs, opening a New Eco Park; under your leadership, the company’s profits will significantly increase this year.”

Steve smiled modestly in response to Maxwell Gregory’s praise.

Considering that Steve and Ruby had been growing closer lately, and that he came over for dinner at the Gregorys’ tonight, Maxwell Gregory tactfully said, “Actually, I’ve been paying close attention to the Eco Park issue for a while, and I have some ideas for the Eco Park’s design..”
