To the Love of My Life

Chapter 389: 389: Exploring Step by Step (9)

Steve Burton’s words were direct and showed no mercy.

He made his intentions very clear: even if he really suspected Maya Mitchell wrongly, it would just be her misfortune!

“So, whether you sincerely care for Ruby or have ulterior motives like I suspect, starting today, you better stay away from her.”

To him, Maya was just a dispensable secretary, albeit an efficient worker, which is why he employed her for three years.

However, Ruby was a different matter for him.

She was an indispensable beauty in his life. The kidnapping incident was already nerve-wracking enough. If Maya really had sinister intentions like he suspected, that incident was far from being over but merely just the beginning.

He could gamble on everything in this world, except for Ruby. She was a risk he couldn’t take.

For that young woman who may or may not have had feelings for him, he could feel anger and rage because of her using and not loving him, but he would not allow anyone, especially in front of him, to hurt her in the slightest!

Maya’s expression turned somewhat pale, “Mr. Burton, this doesn’t seem fair. You’re depriving Ruby of her right to make friends.”

“I am not depriving Ruby of her right to make friends; I am only depriving you of the right to get close to her.” Steve paused, then continued mercilessly, “Since you’re so unwilling, I’ll just resort to more direct means.”

Steve withdrew a letter from the side and pushed it in front of Maya.

Maya lowered her head and saw the three prominent words on the envelope: Resignation Letter.

Once, she had worked so hard and fought to get close to Steve, single-handedly breaking through heavy barriers, and finally entered Pristine’s Enterprises with the best interview performance.

She underwent a year of harsh training, then went from never touching alcohol to becoming a heavy drinker, all to become the perfect and qualified secretary by Steve’s side.

For three years, day after day, she tried every possible means to get closer to him.

But to her surprise, all her painstaking efforts eventually led to a resignation letter from Steve.

Maya’s face turned ghostly white, and the tears in her eyes finally fell uncontrollably.

Unfortunately, in this world, only one woman’s tears could delight Steve, make him worry or hurt to the core.

For anyone else, their tears were just fluids flowing out of their tear glands in front of him.

“Take this resignation letter, and go to the Human Resources Department to complete the resignation procedures.”

After saying this, Steve displayed a dismissive expression, and began working on his computer.

Maya was truly unwilling. Her more than three-years of effort and dedication collapsed before her eyes. She never dreamed that Steve’s first lengthy speech to her would be such a devastating blow.

She looked at the noble man she had loved for so many years, feeling a little sad, thinking how she once thought of using Ruby to have a conversation with him. Now, because of Ruby, she had to leave the position closest to him forever.

Pathetically, the opportunity she had dreamed of to have a conversation with him was all because of Ruby.

PS: I originally planned to finish writing the plot about torturing Maya tonight, but I found that I had written an extra chapter and still hadn’t finished, so I’ll continue writing after getting some sleep.
