Chapter 484: Chapter 484: What do I mean to you? (14)
She just felt so wronged, her heart filled with immense sadness.
Ever since she was a child, she had lived for Steve Burton, liking what he liked, disliking what he disliked, even her emotions had to follow his.
In the past, he didn’t like her using him, but now, when she stopped using him, she thought it would please him, make him happy. However, who would have thought that it would still end up infuriating him?
It was terrible; no matter what she did, she just couldn’t seem to satisfy him.
Even in the end, he told her that from now on, they should have a clear boundary between them and not interfere in each other’s lives!
As Ruby Gregory thought about this, a sense of unspeakable panic arose from her aggrieved heart, and the tears in her eyes flowed even more violently.
–
At one in the morning, the winter night in Ciawell was particularly silent.
At 10 pm, the first snow began to fall from the sky, and in just a few short hours, the whole city was covered in white.
With the neon lights shining quietly, the streets were void of life, save for The Sapphire Bistro, which was still ablaze with lights and bustling with people.
In the open dance floor of The Sapphire Bistro, a group of men and women showed no signs of fatigue, as if they had just started partying, having the time of their lives.
Edward Woods squeezed out of the packed dance floor, scanned the surrounding sofa area, and finally fixed his gaze on Rusell Henris, who was still able to work on a laptop even in such a luxurious and noisy scene.
Edward struggled to get through the crowd and sat across from Rusell, poured himself a glass of wine, drank it in one gulp, then looked at Rusell typing away on his laptop with focus and seriousness, and said, “Rusell, can you not work every time we go out and have fun? At least now, show some concern for our buddy?”
Rusell didn’t pay attention to Edward and continued typing for a while, then slowly sipped his own glass of wine before asking, “So, how’s our buddy doing?”
“What else can he do? His mood has changed drastically. It’s like he’s been possessed by Howard. Now he’s dancing in the dance floor with a bunch of girls and having a blast.” Edward sighed and said with a pained look, “Wasn’t our buddy and Ruby getting along just fine a few days ago? How come in the blink of an eye, these two are like sworn enemies again? Oh, no, no, it’s worse than before. When has our buddy ever liked this kind of place? He’s been in this dance floor for three hours tonight, never coming out, and he can play more than Howard!”
“Our buddy has always had the ability to have fun. In fact, he’s had the most potential for fun among us. He just didn’t want to.” Rusell focused on editing the data on his computer while saying nonchalantly to Edward, “With Ruby doing this, our buddy must be very upset deep down. Think about it, she’s his fiancée, and then something happens. She comes out, faces it alone. The engagement invitations were sent out, and so many people know that Ruby is his soon-to-be wife. Before the press conference, she steps forward, just think of how many people laugh at our buddy, not even able to protect his own woman.”
“He wants to protect her, but Ruby has to give him a chance! The moment Gregory’s Enterprises ran into trouble in the morning, our buddy immediately had me prepare five plans and US$27,450,000 in funds. It’s clear he wanted to help Gregory’s Enterprises make a comeback!”
