However, he didn’t know how to do some things specifically for her, so he could only use this way to bring it to her face. It’s like his love for her, an expression she can’t see.
An expression he didn’t want her to see.
When Steve Burton passed by the secretary’s office, Ms. Taylor, the chief secretary, quickly stood up and gave a proficient and quick summary of Mr. Burton’s schedule for the day. At the end, Ms. Taylor raised her head from the itinerary sheet, looked at Mr. Burton, and asked, “Mr. Burton, you have a golf appointment with Mr. Taylor this morning, and Ruby Gregory will be accompanying you. Do you want me to have the driver prepare the car now?”
Steve Burton’s eyebrows moved slightly, turning his head and asking, “Indoors or outdoors?”
“Outdoors.”
Steve Burton glanced at the window, the wind was a bit strong today, and Ruby was having her period, it was not good for her to catch a chill.
Steve Burton instinctively wanted to ask Ms. Taylor to change the golf course to an indoor one but then remembered that a woman’s first day of her period would make her tired and weak, not easy to travel around outdoors.
Steve Burton’s throat rolled twice, his tone emotionless, “Let Maya Mitchell accompany me to meet Mr. Taylor today.”
Ms. Taylor was slightly stunned, feeling that Mr. Burton was becoming more and more unpredictable. Clearly, at the dinner last night, Maya Mitchell was more suitable for the occasion than Ruby Gregory, but Mr. Burton chose Ruby.
And today’s golf game was just for the secretary to accompany. Ruby was the most beautiful secretary in the group, so she was the most suitable choice, but Mr. Burton chose Maya Mitchell instead.
When Steve Burton entered his office, he faintly heard Ms. Taylor say to Ruby Gregory, “Ruby, you don’t have to accompany Mr. Burton to the golf course today. Maya Mitchell is going.”
Through the mirror on the office door, Steve Burton saw Ruby’s expression stiffen slightly when she heard the news. Then she quickly lowered her eyes, nodded, and sat down at her desk.
Having known Ruby for so many years, Steve Burton could tell she was unhappy at this moment.
Steve Burton grasped the door handle and applied a little force, like nothing was wrong, then pushed open the office door and walked in.
Steve Burton took off his suit jacket, sat in his office chair, opened the computer, and was immediately greeted by the screensaver made with a picture of Ruby Gregory from her student days.
In the picture, she was smiling beautifully and charmingly, completely unlike now when she faced him, lowering her eyes, appearing afraid, cautious, and extremely careful.
If he could, he really wished he could express this love openly, and be able to personally make her a cup of brown sugar ginger tea when she had her period, and tell her clearly that she should not go out on the first day of her period, so he had Maya Mitchell replace her temporarily at work..
