Ruby’s mood immediately improved. She handed the remaining, unshredded documents back to Olivia, saying, “Next time you try to set me up, either do it openly like I did today, or do it so subtly that no one would notice. Don’t leave obvious flaws for others to easily identify that it was you pulling strings behind the scenes!”
Olivia was already fuming with rage, and Ruby’s words rendered her speechless. The frustration churning in her chest had nowhere to vent, and eventually turned into tears, shimmering in her eyes, threatening to fall at any moment.
Despite the touchingly pitiful sight before her, Ruby showed no mercy. She glanced at her wristwatch and spoke in a frustratingly nonchalant tone, “Olivia, there’s only one minute left before Mr. Burton’s meeting. If you can’t submit your collaboration proposal and report in time, you’ll disrupt the meeting. I wonder if Mr. Burton will fire you from Pristine’s Enterprises or simply scold you?”
Ruby was giving Olivia a taste of her own medicine, returning the favor of the
two set-ups.
Olivia pressed her lips together tightly, her tearful gaze turning slightly fierce.
Just as she was about to speak, Ruby cut her off, continuing, “Olivia, don’t look at me with such hatred, and don’t get all resentful.”
“If you had the guts to set me up in the first place, you should have the courage to face the consequences now!”
“Today, I simply returned the favor of everything you’ve done to me lately.”
“If there’s a next time, Olivia, I won’t be as merciful as I was today!”
Ruby paused for a moment, then leaned in, whispering into Olivia’s ear, “Olivia, don’t think I don’t know what your real motive is. You just want to drive me out of Pristine’s Enterprises, right? Let’s see who stays and who leaves in the end. ”
Ruby lightly chuckled near Olivia’s ear, then straightened up and took two steps back. Just as she was about to turn around, she suddenly seemed to remember something. “Oh,” she said, as an afterthought, “Olivia, let me just remind you again: you have thirty seconds left to print.”
With that, Ruby offered Olivia a shallow smile, turned on her heel, and gracefully headed towards the elevator in her high heels.
Thirty seconds, only thirty seconds left.
If she went back to her office to print, time would run out.
She couldn’t submit the documents in time for Steve.
For three whole years, she had been diligent and responsible to leave a good impression on Steve, so she could forever stand by the side of the man she deeply loved..
