To the Love of My Life

It was probably about half a month since Steve Burton had been in Pristine’s Building. Even though he had been busy dealing with the company’s affairs every day when he was staying at the hospital with Ruby Gregory, he was still swamped when he returned to the office.

From the time he arrived at work at eight in the morning until three in the afternoon, he had hardly any time to rest during these seven hours, as he was constantly in meetings.

Despite being so busy, those who had contact with Steve could clearly feel his good mood.

Moreover, this good mood was so overwhelming that those who worked with Steve found it a bit hard to handle.

For example, when the Finance Department was settling this month’s salaries in the morning, they accidentally added an extra zero to an employee’s salary on the payroll sheet.

In fact, it was such a trivial matter that Steve didn’t need to deal with it at all, but the error was discovered when the payroll reached Steve’s hands. The finance manager hurried over to stop Steve from signing it, and only then did Steve learn about the small issue.

Steve had always been strict with his employees, and even a small mistake would result in a scolding from him. The finance manager, trembling with fear, was ready to weather the storm.

But, to his surprise, Steve simply asked in a calm and elegant tone, “This report?”

The finance manager raised his head, somewhat baffled, and just nodded dumbly at Steve.

Steve casually flipped through the report and found the small error that the finance manager mentioned. With a laid-back attitude, he closed the report and handed it back to the finance manager, “Take this back for modifications and bring it back when it’s done.”

For a moment, the finance manager couldn’t believe that the person in front of him was his own boss.

Steve waited a while and saw that the finance manager wasn’t taking the report. He frowned, but the tone of his voice still revealed a trace of his good mood, “Is there a problem?”

The finance manager shook his head quickly, taking the report with both hands.

Steve gave him a smile and was about to go back to his other tasks when the finance manager, upon seeing that smile, felt his heart skip a beat and started trembling. The report in his hands fell to the floor with a “pap” sound.

It’s over… Rumors said that Big Boss was unpredictable and hard to read, so did this friendly attitude towards him right now mean that his eventual end would be even worse?

Steve, who was walking towards his desk, heard the sound of the report falling and turned to glance at it. He promptly bent down, picked it up, and handed it back to the finance manager once more.

Big Boss actually picked up the file for him… The finance manager felt that it was all over for him, and his legs almost gave out, causing him to nearly collapse on the ground. He subconsciously started to earnestly reflect on himself, “Mr. Burton, it was my negligence this time. I promise it won’t happen again. Please give me another chance and don’t fire me. I will never make such a stupid mistake like this ever again… ”

‘What nonsense is he talking about, I never said I was going to fire him. He’s a total nutcase!’ Steve thought, rolling his eyes. Since he was going to call Ruby to bring some coffee later, he decided not to waste his breath on the finance manager. He waved him off and gestured for him to leave.

The more Steve acted like this, the more the finance manager felt that he was doomed this time!
