Ruby Gregory slightly pursed her lips, her gaze towards Olivia Foster turned somewhat cold.

Olivia Foster seemed oblivious, turning her head to speak unhurriedly to the secretary general, “Ms. Taylor, you didn’t attend Mr. Burton’s birthday party yesterday, so you may not know, our Ms. Gregory here in our office, is not a simple figure. She has only been at the Pristine’s Enterprises for a few days and yesterday she had Mr. Burton leave his birthday banquet halfway with only her, just the two of them. Ms. Taylor, don’t say I didn’t warn you, there are some people you simply cannot cross.”

As she was saying this, Olivia Foster glanced at Ruby Gregory, grinned, and continued, “Because of her, Mr. Burton’s work got disrupted, Ms. Taylor, it won’t be long before a good tongue-lashing comes your way. It isn’t your fault, but alas, you have to take the fall.”

Olivia Foster’s words were filled with insinuation which no one in the room could miss. But in the office of Pristine’s Enterprises, she had always been acting arrogantly, leveraging her longest acquaintance with Steve Burton. The others were all here to simply make a living and get paid, and naturally, they wouldn’t dare offend her. No one wanted to invite such trouble, so everyone remained silent.

The cleverness of Olivia’s words was apparent, she broadcasted to everyone that Ruby was a career-climbing woman who seduces her boss, and used this as fodder to stir up trouble between the secretary general and herself.

Olivia Foster’s speech simply implied that Ruby shirked work thanks to her connection with Steve, causing trouble for which the secretary general would be reprimanded.

Such a move from Olivia Foster was truly malicious, making the others in the office distance themselves from Ruby after this incident.

Ruby Gregory slightly squinted her eyes, she wouldn’t let Olivia Foster succeed!

Ruby Gregory was a bit scared of Steve Burton in her heart, but she took the office phone from the table without thinking twice and dialed Steve’s direct line in front of everyone in the office.

The phone only rang once before it was answered.

Suppressing her nervousness, Ruby Gregory spoke respectfully into the phone, “Mr. Burton, this is Ruby Gregory.”

Steve Burton on the other end of the phone had no reaction.

Ruby Gregory swallowed, saying, “The report that you asked for, I forgot to print it yesterday. I will print it now and will hand it over to the secretary general later.”

After Ruby Gregory spoke, she held her breath.

She knew Steve Burton loathed people who were careless and not meticulous in their work!

But she had no other option. If she didn’t take responsibility for this mistake in front of Mr. Burton now, she would lose her standing in this office!

Moreso, knowing oneself and knowing your enemy is the only way to be invincible in battle!

There were many things about Steve Burton that she still needed to learn from these secretaries!
