His tone was devoid of any emotion and even carried a hint of coldness, making Ruby Gregory’s heart even more nervous, “Some work wasn’t finished, so I’m a bit late.”

Steve Burton didn’t respond this time, not even bothering to lift his head and look at her.

His indifference made Ruby’s prepared explanations seem inadequate, and she suddenly didn’t know where to start.

Steve, however, seemed much more composed than her, as if she didn’t exist, and continued to peruse the documents in his hands.

It wasn’t until Steve finished reading the documents that he glanced at Ruby, “What is it?”

His tone was somewhat perfunctory, as if he was annoyed because his work was interrupted.

And what she was going to talk about had nothing to do with work, Ruby couldn’t help but wonder if she’d anger Steve if she couldn’t say it. She couldn’t help but purse her lips slightly.

Steve furrowed his brow gently, “What’s wrong?”

Before Ruby could finish her sentence, she noticed a pair of leather shoes by her feet.

Ruby’s tone paused, and as she lifted her head, she saw Steve standing in front ot her, his gaze deeply fixed on her.

His stare made her heart tighten, and she couldn’t say the rest of the sentence.

Steve then asked, “What’s there to eat?”

Ruby heard these words and knew that Steve had agreed to have dinner. She immediately turned and walked to the coffee table, opened the food box, and displayed the food one by one.

Ruby first served Steve a bowl of rice, placed it in front of him, and handed him a pair of chopsticks.

Steve’s expression softened as he took them, and without saying anything, he began eating.

The two didn’t have much interaction, and Ruby’s mind was filled with thoughts about how she would naturally develop a relationship with Steve after dinner. So, she occasionally glanced at him..
