“If Ruby Gregory hadn’t paid your tuition back then, would you have had to drop out of school?”

Maya Mitchell nodded in agreement.

“So, you’re saying that you covered for her at the Red Park Resort & Villas out of genuine sincerity without expecting anything in return?”

It seemed that in Steve Burton’s mind, all the cover-ups she did for Ruby were justified.

She had thought that she might be able to use that incident to gain a favorable impression in his heart, which could change their interactions with one another.

She tried so hard to get close to him. Yet, even though they met every day, there was always an insurmountable barrier between them.

Maya’s expression faltered slightly, as she gritted her teeth and tried to force a casual smile at Steve. She steadied her voice and, using an easy-going tone, replied: “Yes.”

Maya took a deep breath and made an effort to maintain a smile on her face: “If Mr. Burton has no further queries, I will take my leave.”

Steve didn’t say anything further.

Maya, holding the report, quickly turned around. Her smile immediately vanished.

She hadn’t walked more than a few steps when Steve’s voice sounded behind her once again: “Make a cup of coffee.”

Maya came to an abrupt halt. She had made him a cup of coffee, untouched with visible steam still rising from it, sitting on his desk.

Clutching the files tightly, Maya hurried out of Steve’s office.

Just as she was opening the door to the office, she encountered Ruby Gregory, who was entering with a cup of coffee in hand.

Maya quickly composed herself and gave Ruby a warm smile, making way for her to enter the office first.

As Maya was closing the office door, she heard Ruby’s slightly surprised voice from within the office: “Isn’t there already a cup of coffee here?”

Maya’s door-closing motion unconsciously was halted. She then heard Steve’s emotionless and indifferent response: “Just take this cup of coffee away and dump it.”

His tone was clean and decisive, without any hesitation or pause.

Maya’s hand gripped the doorknob tightly, her face completely drained of color.

Ruby’s outfit on Monday didn’t raise Steve’s disdain but instead, attracted his frequent glances. Ruby knew that Mrs. Taylor’s advice had been correct once again.

Actually, it was a good thing for Ruby, as no one would want to wear the same unchanging colors for their entire life. So, every day after that, she chose her clothes based on her preferences, combining various colors and styles.

Once you try something, there will be more attempts to follow.

Ruby had long grown tired of Chanel No. 5 perfume. So, after changing her clothes, she decided to stop wearing it as well.

Whether or not it was because of Mrs. Taylor’s prediction, these changes provided a fresh experience for Steve. When he faced Ruby, he no longer maintained the cold and indifferent attitude that he had displayed previously.

Steve often invited Ruby to accompany him to important company dinners. After they took their seats, he would introduce her proactively. He even, intentionally or unintentionally, mentioned that she was the heiress of Gregory’s Enterprises.
