At the company, whenever Ruby Gregory saw Steve Burton, she would always avoid him at all costs and keep a distance from him. Despite this, Ruby was still Steve’s secretary assistant, so when Steve was in and out of the office, Ruby would inevitably see him. During those times, she would bury her head directly on the desk and keep her head down, waiting for Steve to leave, before continuing her work.

The secretary general thought that she had just recovered from a severe illness, so the workload assigned to her was not too heavy. However, Ruby was still worn out after a day in the office.

The company’s banquet was scheduled for tonight and was to be held at the Capital Club.

When Ruby arrived, she realized that the gathering had been organized for the company but was also attended by senior staff from other companies that had close ties with Pristine’s Enterprises.

The banquet began promptly at eight o’clock. Steve, the president of Pristine’s Enterprises, stood on stage wearing a slim-fitting black suit. He quickly gave a brief speech before signaling the official start of the banquet.

The first part of the banquet was the toast.

Such banquets occurred at least once a month at Pristine’s Corporation. Steve occasionally missed a few but attended most of them. Even when he was present, he would quickly leave the scene after giving a brief speech.

However, Steve showed no intention of leaving tonight’s banquet early.

Although most employees worked at Pristine’s, for them, their president was an unapproachable figure.

Now that the president was staying behind at the banquet, a good number of employees tried their best to get close to Steve, taking the opportunity to toast their glasses with him.

Ruby could hardly avoid Steve, let alone approach him like other employees. So, as soon as the banquet began, she quietly slipped away from the crowd and found a secluded corner to sit in.

Since coming back to the country, she had only attended such banquets three times.

The first banquet was with her father, when she had reunited with Steve after their separation.

The second banquet was Steve’s birthday party. At that time, she had gifted Steve a birthday present, but, feeling hurt, she chose to stay away from everyone. However, she had Madeleine and Howard Coleman to keep her

company.

Today, Madeleine left for Lilliput two days ago on a business trip for a project, while Rusell Henris, Edward Woods, and Howard Coleman were entertaining senior staff from other companies at tonight’s event.

So at this banquet, she was sitting alone in a corner, seeming particularly out of place.

Noisy scenes surrounded her. When Ruby occasionally glanced back, she could easily see that Steve was always surrounded by a large group of people, as if he was the center of the universe..
