Chapter 610: Chapter 610: Sweet and Warm Heating Up (14)
With a tremble of Steve Burton’s hand, his cell phone fell to the ground with a “clap.”
While in the middle of a meeting, he hid the cell phone under the table and refreshed Ruby Gregory’s Twitter feed. The “clap” sound caught the attention of everyone in the meeting room, making it obvious that Steve was playing with his phone during the meeting.
For the first time in her life, Secretary Ms. Taylor felt embarrassed for having such a leader.
Steve bent down and picked up his phone. Although he did not know what the representative from the Lilliput customer had just said, he had been in business for many years, so he was the first to apologize in fluent English. Then, he proposed some simple questions to the Lilliput customer representative.
Steve had five points to make. As he was speaking about the second point, the phone he picked up and placed on the table suddenly started vibrating. While describing the second point, he glanced at the phone screen. When he saw the two characters “Ruby,” his speech momentarily stopped, causing everyone in the meeting room to exchange puzzled glances.
Steve moved his lips and apologized to everyone in the conference room: “Sorry.”
Then, he picked up his phone and answered it while walking out of the meeting room.

Ruby Gregory kept staring at the tweet she had just posted. In less than a minute, there was a like underneath it.
She quickly clicked on the user who had liked her tweet: Traveling Through Ruby’s Time.
This account only followed her and had no followers, no tweets, and even no profile picture.
However, when Ruby saw the words “Traveling Through Ruby’s Time,” she had a strong, indescribable intuition telling her that this account belonged to Steve Burton. So without hesitation, she followed “Traveling Through Ruby’s Time.”
Unsure whether it was because of the takeaway food Steve sent that warmed her heart, or she had eaten too much, Ruby had no hint of sleepiness. She held her phone and, after a while, sent a straightforward private message to “Traveling Through Ruby’s Time”: “Steve Burton?”
As a result, the message sank like a stone into the ocean. No one responded.
What the heck…he just liked her tweet and now was pretending not to be online!
Ruby pouted in displeasure, then turned her eyes and dialed a phone number she had not called for nearly four months.
The phone rang for a long time without anyone answering. Just when Ruby thought Steve wouldn’t pick up, the ringing suddenly stopped, and Steve’s deep, cello-like voice came from the other side: “Ruby?”
Ruby hadn’t thought too much when she made the call, but when Steve answered and she heard his familiar and pleasant voice, she became inexplicably nervous.
Clutching her phone, her face turned slightly red.
What should she do? She had impulsively made the call, not knowing what to say. What if Steve asks her what she wants?
The next second, Steve’s clear voice came from the other side of the phone: “Ruby, is there something you need?”
Concerned about this very question, hearing Steve’s inquiry caught Ruby off guard. Her hand shook, and the phone fell onto the bed.
