Although Howard Coleman was also scolded by Steve Burton, he immediately didn’t hesitate to share when he thought about watching Rusell Henris be laughed at: “Today, when Ruby gave our brother the cooperation case, she twisted her ankle. Even though our brother was obviously worried in his heart, he pretended to be fine and called me to send Ruby to the hospital.”
“After Ruby and I saw the doctor and got the medication, we were about to leave the hospital when our brother and Jack came over. Then I asked our brother why he came over. Can you guess what he said?”
Madeleine curiously asked, “What? What?”
“Our brother clearly came for Ruby, but he insisted on saying that he came to get the cooperation case.” Howard Coleman said and laughed: “Our brother canceled the meeting and decided not to cooperate anymore. The cooperation case became as useless as waste paper. Yet, he still said he came to get the cooperation case. And then, Jack burst into laughter on the spot.”
“Howard, stop making fun of me. Aren’t you the same? Our brother was clearly talking to Ruby, asking her about the cooperation case, right? But then, you blurted out that the cooperation case was in the car, causing our brother to leave all the company matters behind and rushed to the hospital just to hear
Ruby say one sentence!”
“What was that sentence?” Madeleine asked.
“Mr. Burton.”
“Pfft!”
“Hahahaha!”
“After all these years, our brother’s true nature of being an introverted and cold person hasn’t changed!”
The next day, Ruby Gregory stayed home and rested for the day.
She originally planned to go to work, but at 7 a.m., she received a call from Maya Mitchell telling her, “Mr. Burton said that in order not to cause trouble for everyone in the company, you should continue to rest at home.” On the third day, Ruby’s swollen ankle fully recovered.
Steve Burton’s birthday party was in the afternoon, but at 4:30 pm, the secretarial department got off work early.
Since Ruby had just injured her ankle wearing high heels, she went home in the afternoon and changed into a formal dress, choosing to wear a pair of mid-heels instead of high heels.
Steve Burton’s birthday party was scheduled for 7:30 pm.
Ruby arrived at 7 pm.
The venue was already crowded with many well-known officials and
aristocrats from Ciawell.
The birthday party scene was arranged by Wenny Burton, which was both luxurious and elegant.
At 7:10 pm, Madeleine and Howard Coleman arrived together. Since Ruby returned to her country, other than a phone call with Madeleine, the two haven’t met each other in person because Madeleine had been busy abroad.
The two girls had a great relationship since childhood, and now that they met, they immediately hugged each other.
After a long time without seeing each other, the two girls naturally had a lot to talk about, so Madeleine immediately took Ruby to a relatively quiet corner and sat down.
