She didn’t know if it was because Steve Burton had been sarcastic to her too many times recently, but she found herself in a constant state of apprehension whenever she was at her desk.

After all, she was Steve’s secretary and assistant. Despite trying her best to avoid Steve, there were times when she had to face him directly. At those moments, Ruby became especially nervous. However, every time it turned out to be a false alarm.
