Steve Burton sat leisurely on the sofa in his office, his legs crossed, cradling a porcelain cup in his hands, his gaze quietly fixed on the documents on his lap.

His expression was focused and serious, as if he was completely immersed in the documents.

Above his head was an opulent crystal chandelier, and its dazzling light quietly poured over him, further highlighting the aura of noble elegance that emanated from his every move.

Ruby Gregory, perhaps because she had slept for a long time, appeared somewhat dazed. She had never known that in this world, there could be such a breathtakingly stunning man, one who made the colorful lights mere accessories to his presence.

The office was very quiet, with only the occasional rustling of Steve flipping through the documents.

Ruby didn’t know how long she had been standing there. When she finally came to her senses, she found herself inexplicably by Steve’s side.

The man’s eyes were half-lidded as he stared at the file on his knee, his fingers rhythmically tapping the teacup in his palm.

Ruby’s heartbeat suddenly quickened. She bit her bottom lip, and before she could say anything, Steve pulled his gaze away from the file and rested it upon her.

At the moment their eyes met, Ruby’s heart skipped a beat, while Steve’s gaze noticeably stuttered before he cleared his throat and asked indifferently, “Awake now?”

As he spoke, Steve tossed the file from his lap onto the coffee table in front of him, slightly shifting his body to make space by his side for Ruby. novelbuddy.cσ๓

Ruby understood Steve’s intentions. She lowered her eyelids, walked around the coffee table, and sat down next to him.

The unique, elegant scent of a man gently and faintly enveloped her.

Ruby couldn’t explain why, but her face grew slightly warm as she smelled Steve’s scent.

“Hungry?”

Steve’s sudden question caused Ruby’s heart to falter a bit. She looked up at him, shook her head, thought for a moment, and replied, “Not hungry.”

Steve didn’t say anything, his eyes trailing down from Ruby’s face to rest on her thigh.

For her comfort while she slept, Ruby had taken off her pants and wore a mid-length sweater that barely covered her hips. Now sitting by Steve’s side, the sweater could hardly conceal her bottom, and her white underwear was faintly visible.

Her long, fair legs left Steve feeling somewhat parched. He slightly averted his gaze and then looked at Ruby once more.

At this moment, Ruby raised her eyelids, her pair of large, shiny, black eyes staring back at him.

As their gazes entwined, Steve felt an uncontrollable surge of desire inside him, rapidly igniting and rising in intensity.

His stare gradually became burning hot as he gazed at her.

Ruby felt the man’s blatant lust, and her breathing became somewhat difficult.

She had not yet taken her painkiller…
