To the Love of My Life

Chapter 436: Chapter 436: Don’t Force It If You Don’t Want To (6)
Steve Burton left for work during the morning rush hour, and the road was congested. When Ruby Gregory left home, the traffic had improved a lot. So even though Ruby left twenty minutes later than Steve, they arrived at the company parking lot around the same time.

Steve’s car was ahead of Ruby’s. He parked in his exclusive parking spot, and Ruby, after thinking for a moment, parked in his other exclusive spot behind him.

After locking his car, Steve got out just as Ruby was climbing out of her vehicle. She beamed at him and greeted, “Mr. Burton, good morning.”

Steve instantly thought of the angry words he had said to Ruby in the morning and his face immediately darkened. He turned his head, pretending that Ruby didn’t exist, and strode towards the elevator. He didn’t wait for Ruby and went straight up to the office.

Ruby, who was ignored and left behind, pouted at the rising elevator, then grabbed her bag and entered another elevator.

Throughout the entire morning at Pristine’s Corporation, Steve remained in a state of ignoring Ruby. Whenever Ruby appeared somewhere, Steve would immediately turn his face cold and leave.

Sometimes when Ruby reported her work to Steve, he listened with a stern face, not bothering to say a single word. He would either sign the document directly or just nod and walk away.

Despite Steve’s disregard and cold treatment, Ruby did not feel as upset as before. On the contrary, she felt smug.

Ruby didn’t eat lunch at the Pristine’s Corporation that day. Instead, she went to the hospital to visit Maya Mitchell and ate with her.

After eating, Ruby instinctively opened her bag and pulled out a pill bottle.

It was a bottle of vitamins provided by Steve, and this was the second bottle she had received.

Maya, sitting on her hospital bed, noticed the two white pills Ruby took from the bottle and feigned concern, “Ruby, are you feeling unwell? Why are you taking medicine?”

“It’s not medicine, it’s vitamins.” When Ruby said this, a brilliance she couldn’t suppress appeared in her eyes. Even her tone carried a hint of boasting and pride that she didn’t notice herself, “Steve told me to take them, saying they can boost immunity.”

Annoyed and envious that Steve was also involved, Maya forced out a smile: “Really? Mr. Burton is so good to you.”

Upon hearing this, Ruby thought of Steve’s scolding in the morning and pouted: “Not really, he scolded me a lot this morning.”

Even though the words were supposed to be complaints, Ruby uttered them in a coy tone, making it clear to anyone that she was feeling happy at heart.

Maya’s smile became a bit stiff: “A hit shows affection, a scolding shows love. If Mr. Burton really likes you, he would scold you.”

Ruby’s smile brightened even more at Maya’s words: “Maya, what nonsense are you talking about?”

Lowering her eyes, Ruby continued, “Maya, Steve and I will get engaged on the 10th of next month. You must come.”
