Ruby, hearing Steve’s question, thought she might have a chance to be discharged.

She blurted out that her body was better, and it was natural for her to leave the hospital. However, after thinking for a bit, she was worried that this reason would not persuade Steve. So she glanced at the many documents piled in front of him and softly said, “You haven’t been to the company in a while, and I’m worried something might happen there. Besides, every day you sleep on the sofa in the hospital, you must be uncomfortable and unable to rest well.”

Regardless of whether Ruby’s words were flattery or sincere, Steve was very pleased. His expression softened a bit as he listened.

Ruby saw a change in Steve’s expression and felt that her chances of being discharged increased. She pushed further, saying, “So, if I get discharged earlier, you can have a good rest. Also, your body is bound to wear out if you keep staying in the hospital like this.”

A hint of a smile appeared on Steve’s lips.

Upon seeing Steve’s smile, Ruby grew even more certain that her plan to be discharged was likely: “Besides, I haven’t been to the company for a long time; I can’t keep taking leave like this, it’s not good.”

“That seems to be the case.” Steve nodded, pondered for a moment, and looked at Ruby, asking, “Do you really want to leave the hospital?”

Ruby hurriedly nodded, a glint of anticipation in her eyes as she looked at Steve: “Do you agree?”

Steve glanced at an excited Ruby and slowly said, “You have a nice daydream.”

The hopeful look in Ruby’s eyes was instantly replaced by anger. Her hand unconsciously clenched the sheet beneath her. It was clear that Steve was fooling her!

Steve looked at Ruby’s angry expression, chuckled, lowered his head, and immersed himself in his work. freewёbn૦νeɭ.com

Perhaps because he had seen Ruby’s true and touching appearance in front of him, Steve’s mood remained good throughout the day. Even when an error was found in a submitted report, his tone was gentle as he called the employee in charge of the report to make changes.

In contrast to Steve’s good mood, Ruby was incredibly upset!

Since her failed attempt to get Steve’s approval for early discharge and being mocked by him in the morning, she had been seething and sulking all day.

The more she wanted to be discharged, the slower time seemed to pass in the hospital. When dinner time finally arrived, Ruby was completely drained.

If she didn’t leave the hospital soon, she felt she would go crazy in her room!

Dinner was delivered by a nurse – four dishes and one soup, nutritious and well-balanced, with appealing colors, aroma, and taste. However, Ruby had no appetite, only using her chopsticks to poke at the rice incessantly.

Steve, sitting across from her, noticed her absent-minded eating and put down his chopsticks: “Not to your taste?”

Ruby dared not show her grievances toward Steve and only complained inwardly. Hearing his question, she remained silent for a moment before reluctantly shaking her head.

Steve stared at Ruby, still poking at her rice with her chopsticks, and rubbed his chin. In a calm voice, he said, “Finish your meal, and I’ll consider letting you leave the hospital early.”

Ruby looked up in surprise: “Really?”
