Just when Ruby Gregory felt like she was about to suffocate before the car reached its destination, the car finally came to a stop.
Steve Burton didn’t pay any attention to Ruby Gregory in the back seat, and directly pushed open the car door, getting out of the car.
Ruby took a deep breath as soon as the car stopped, then hurriedly got out of the car, only to find her legs shaking uncontrollably after she stood on the ground.
Steve Burton didn’t even glance at Ruby Gregory as he walked straight into the hotel.
His footsteps were fast but didn’t seem rushed at all, giving people a sense of grace and composure.
Ruby trailed closely behind Steve Burton at a jog.
The private room they had reserved was on the top floor of the Hilton Grand Hotel.
By the time the waiter led Steve Burton and Ruby to the private room, Ms. Annie Beischel and her female assistant were already inside waiting. As soon as the door opened, Ms. Annie stood up with a bright smile to greet them.
Ms. Annie had waist-length golden curls and wore a low-cut short dress, her features strong and delicate.
She greeted them with somewhat stiff Chinese, “Steve, long time no see.”
Steve’s face had already returned to his usual elegant indifference. He politely shook hands with Ms. Annie and responded fluently and accurately in English, “Sorry to keep you waiting.”
Blinking her blue eyes, Ms. Annie switched to English, “That’s alright, I just arrived not long ago myself.”
Pausing for a moment with a slightly tender expression, Ms. Annie openly showed her admiration and fondness for Steve, “And Steve, you know, I’m more than happy to wait for you.”
Although Ms. Annie was speaking in English, Ruby, who had been in Costa Luna for three years, understood her words.
She subconsciously glanced at Steve and found that he remained indifferent to Ms. Annie’s blatant confession, simply gesturing for everyone to take their seats in a gentlemanly manner.
The dishes had been ordered when the restaurant was reserved, and after they were served, the waiter silently left the private room, closing the door behind them.
Ms. Annie picked up her wine glass, raised it gracefully, and said, “Steve, I’m delighted to have dinner with you tonight.”
Steve raised his wine glass, lightly clinking it against Ms. Annie’s glass, and took a sip.
Only after putting down her wine glass did Ms. Annie realize that Steve had brought a different secretary today. She stared at Ruby for a moment before asking, “Steve, is this your new secretary?”
Steve Burton nodded slightly.
Ruby picked up her wine glass and clinked it against Ms. Annie’s. In English, she greeted politely, “Hello, Ms. Annie. I’m Ruby Gregory, nice to meet you for the first time. Please give me your guidance..”
