In the past, she could naturally and casually stand by his side, attending various banquets together.

At that time, she always thought that she could stand by his side for a lifetime. She thought they were a match made in heaven.

Now she no longer has the qualification to stand by his side, and not even the courage to fight for it.

Ruby Gregory turned her head, looking out of the window, lost in thought. After an unknown amount of time, she heard footsteps behind her.

Ruby turned her head and saw Steve Burton walking over with a man.

She faintly recognized the man as the president of Farglory Group, a company that had been working closely with Pristine’s Enterprises recently.

Steve Burton seemed to have not noticed Ruby sitting in the corner. When he saw her, his expression was slightly taken aback.

Others eagerly went up to toast with him, and now that Steve was in front of her, she had to do the same.

So, Ruby Gregory stood up and offered a glass of alcohol to Steve, lowering her gaze and calling out, “Mr. Burton.”

Then she turned her head, glanced at the president of Farglory Group standing next to Steve, smiled faintly, and downed the glass in one gulp.

Steve Burton and Farglory Group’s president sat on the sofa where Ruby was originally sitting, as if they had something to discuss. After toasting, she tactfully found an excuse to leave.

Steve stared at Ruby’s retreating figure for a long time, then slowly shifted his gaze. Turning his head to look at the Farglory Group President beside him, he noticed the president was also staring at Ruby’s back with obvious amazement and excitement in his eyes.

Steve’s brows furrowed subconsciously, staring at the president’s face for a moment, only to find him still focused on Ruby. Eventually, Steve lifted his glass, handed it to the Farglory Group President, and called out, “Mr. Octo.”

Mr. Octo had no reaction as he was completely immersed in the impact made by Ruby, staring at her intently.

A hint of displeasure gradually surfaced in Steve’s eyes, and he couldn’t help but cough heavily.

Finally, Mr. Octo shifted his gaze from Ruby and noticed Steve’s proffered glass. Hastily raising his own glass, Steve’s expression improved slightly.

But the very next second, after they clinked glasses and downed their drinks, Mr. Octo’s gaze once again focused on the distant banquet scene. After circling the crowd, his eyes eventually settled on Ruby’s figure again.

Steve’s face darkened once more.

However, Mr. Octo by his side didn’t notice Steve’s change in expression, and he continued to lock his gaze on Ruby Gregory..
