To the Love of My Life

Chapter 308: 308: Observe Carefully and Learn Diligently (18)

Ruby felt a bit embarrassed by everyone’s staring, so she finally just stared at her computer screen without looking away.

After listening to Ms. Taylor’s report on the meeting schedule, Steve nodded and then glanced at Ruby again before walking into his office.

As soon as Steve left, one secretary chuckled and said, “No wonder Mr. Burton kept staring at Ruby. I thought there was something different about her today too, and now I remember, it’s because she changed the color of her clothes. It’s a refreshing change from the blue she used to wear all the time.”

Ruby smiled at the compliment and was about to speak when the intercom on her desk rang. It was a call from the president’s office, and she hurriedly picked up. Steve’s usual calm and composed voice came through, “Make a cup of coffee.”

So throughout the day, Ruby received an intercom call from Steve about every hour asking her to make a cup of coffee and bring it to his office.

Every time Ruby brought in the coffee, Steve would always be diligently working with his head down, completely focused.

Ruby, afraid of disturbing Steve, gently placed the coffee on the desk and quietly retreated two steps before turning around and leaving.

At this point, Steve always lifted his head quickly, picked up the coffee, and sipped it slowly, his gaze following Ruby’s retreating figure with a hint of appreciation as she disappeared through the office door.

Just before leaving work in the afternoon, Ruby went to the restroom.

As soon as Ruby left, the phone on her desk rang.

Maya Mitchell’s desk was only half a meter away from Ruby’s, and the phone happened to be next to the corridor. Maya glanced over and saw that it was an intercom call, knowing it was from Steve. Before she had a chance to tell Steve that Ruby was not at her seat, Steve’s voice came through the phone calmly, “Coffee.”

He hung up after just two words, not giving Maya any chance to respond.

Maya had always thought that since she helped Ruby and Steve cover up the scene at the Red Park Resort & Villas’ viewing platform, Steve might have some change towards her.

Since she had a document for Steve to sign, she took the initiative to go to the pantry, made a cup of coffee, and then went to Steve’s office.

Maya politely knocked on the door and entered when she heard Steve say, “Come in.”

As before, Steve was staring intently at the documents on his desk.

Maya approached quietly, put the coffee on the desk, and stood by with the document, not leaving. Her gaze, however, was fixed on Steve’s face.

Steve hadn’t really been concentrating on the documents, and after a while, not sensing Ruby leaving, he looked up nonchalantly. To his surprise, he found it was Maya standing in front of him.

Steve’s brows furrowed as he glanced at the coffee she had placed, but didn’t say anything.

Maya quickly retracted her infatuated gaze on Steve and gave a small smile, speaking in a gentle voice:
