The Secretary General nodded slightly at Ruby Gregory, then turned to Maya Mitchell and instructed, “Maya, please share with Ruby about Ms. Annie’s habits and the points to be aware of when accompanying Mr. Burton at dinner parties. ”
Maya Mitchell’s face was as gentle and friendly as always, just a hint of gloominess passed over the depths of her eyes. However, it quickly dissipated and she turned to Ruby, her tone was very affectionate and serious. She did not hold back anything, and shared everything she knew with Ruby Gregory. Ruby Gregory seriously remembered each point and said to Maya Mitchell,
“Thank you.”
Maya Mitchell’s tone was still soft and pleasant, “It’s no problem.”
The dinner was scheduled for seven-thirty.
The venue was the Hilton Grand Hotel on the West 2nd Ring Road.
As the traffic was always heavy in Ciawell during peak hours, Steve Burton set off with Ruby at half past six.
The driver had already prepared the car at the main entrance of the Pristine’s Building. As he saw Steve Burton and Ruby appear from the building, he quickly got out of the car and was about to open the car door when Steve Burton reached out his hand and said, “Give me the keys.”
Ruby, who was following behind Steve, felt a tight knot in her stomach at his words.
Was Steve planning to drive her there?
The thought of being alone with him in the car made Ruby feel extremely nervous.
The driver respectfully handed over the car keys. Steve took the keys, opened the vehicle’s passenger door and threw a sentence to Ruby behind him, “Get in.”
Then, he walked around the car and got directly into the driver’s seat.
Ruby looked at the open passenger seat, frowning.
Was Steve asking her to sit in the front?
However, Madeleine had clearly warned her that over the past three years, Steve’s biggest “no-no” was having a woman sit in the passenger seat of his car. Many women had cut off all relations with him as a result of breaking this unwritten rule.
Was it possible that Steve intended to open the rear door, but accidentally opened the wrong one?
Ruby Gregory raised her head and glanced at Steve, who was already in the driver’s seat, having just started the car.
The man’s expression was as icy as ever.
Ruby knew that his patience was always limited, so she hesitated for a moment, then deciding to play it safe, shut the passenger seat door and opened the rear door instead, climbing in swiftly.
Before Ruby had time to settle in, before she even managed to close the car door, Steve Burton stepped on the accelerator hard, sending the car shooting forward.
Ruby’s body jerked forward slightly, she lifted her head and through the rearview mirror, she caught a glimpse of Steve’s quiet face, a hint of gloominess was spreading across it.
Her initial anxiety due to being left alone with him intensified considerably..
