Chapter 625: Chapter 625: Ruby Gregory’s Confession (5)
Ruby Gregory originally thought that she would leave as soon as Maya Mitchell entered the dressing room. She would then swap their clothes with the salesperson, and they would pass by each other without meeting.
But to her surprise, just as she locked the door, she heard that unfamiliar voice from earlier, with a hint of playfulness, mentioning someone she cared about, “Has your relationship with Mr. Burton from Pristine’s Enterprises been growing lately? ”
Mr. Burton from Pristine’s Enterprises?
Steve Burton?
What kind of relationship? When did Steve Burton and Maya Mitchell have any relationship?
Countless questions surfaced in Ruby’s mind as she pressed her ear against the door, listening to others for the first time in her life.
Indeed, as the stranger said, Maya Mitchell spoke with a tinge of laughter – appearing to be in an excellent mood. “Are you talking about Steve Burton? We’re good… We even had dinner together last night…”
Steve Burton and Maya Mitchell had dinner together last night? Ruby’s hand gripped the clothes she was holding tightly, the ones she planned to return to the salesperson.
“Oh, you’ve already had private dinners together? After dinner, did you do anything else together? No wonder you’re in such a good mood today, dragging me out for a spa and shopping. It must be because you’re triumphant in love!” The stranger teased Maya Mitchell.
Maya didn’t respond to the ribbing, only laughing softly before pushing open the door of the adjacent dressing room and walking in.
As both doors closed, the stranger’s voice resounded once again, “Maya, let me remind you. If you could capture Mr. Burton’s heart, you would become the mistress of the Burtons. At that time, don’t forget me in your pursuit of wealth and glory.”
Maya Mitchell: “Don’t worry, I won’t.”
Did Maya Mitchell really want to marry Steve Burton? When did that happen? How come Ruby never knew about it?
Ruby felt as if she had just learned shocking news made her heart race faster than ever.
“By the way, Maya, wasn’t there a rumor that Mr. Burton from Pristine’s Enterprises was nearly engaged? What’s her name?”
“Do you mean… Ruby Gregory?”
“Yes, yes, that’s Ruby Gregory, the heiress of Gregory’s Enterprises. She is also your colleague. It seems like Ruby is Mr. Burton’s neighbor’s daughter, so they must be childhood friends. Their bond must be deep, so how come they didn’t get engaged?”
Ruby suddenly heard the conversation shift to her. She clenched her fist unconsciously, perking up her ears and focusing.
After waiting about five seconds, Ruby finally heard Maya Mitchell’s voice, carrying a hint of disdain, “Her? Hmph…”
Her? Hmph… What did that mean?
Ruby’s lips pursed tightly.
The stranger continued, “What happened? Judging by your tone, you seem to be dismissive of her. Or did she offend you somehow?”
The stranger didn’t even wait for Maya to reply before giggling, “Of course, love rivals are natural enemies. She almost became Mr. Burton’s fiancée. You being unhappy with her is to be expected.”
