She subconsciously gripped her phone tighter, as the embarrassment she had just managed to suppress once again rose in her heart. She even felt her heartbeat getting faster and faster.

Just as they were about to enter the capital city, Maxwell Gregory’s phone suddenly rang. He glanced at the caller ID and answered directly: “Clayton, what’s the matter?”

Clayton was Maxwell Gregory’s secretary.

“Mr. Gregory, I just called Mr. Robbins to ask about the signing of our next cooperation contract tomorrow. He said that he is going abroad and will discuss it after he returns. Then I got the news that Mr. Robbins contacted Foster Enterprises last night.”

Although Ruby was not involved in her family’s business affairs, she knew something about Mr. Robbins.

He had cooperated with the Gregorys for many years and was considered an old customer with a long-standing relationship.

The Gregorys’ business was already suffering losses. Losing Mr. Robbins as a major client would make the situation even more difficult.

Just as Ruby had thought, Clayton also said on the phone: “Mr. Gregory, our company has been on the verge of profit and loss recently. If we can’t secure Mr. Robbins’ cooperation, I’m afraid the company will face bankruptcy.”

“I’ll give Mr. Robbins a call.” Maxwell Gregory pondered for a moment, said a sentence to the person on the phone, and then hung up.

As Maxwell Gregory was driving, it was Lady Gregory who found Mr. Robbins’ number. Maxwell called, and after several rings, it was finally picked up. Before Maxwell could say anything, Mr. Robbins’ voice came through: “Hello? What are you saying? The signal here isn’t very good. I’m boarding the plane now.

When I get to Lilliput, I’ll call you back.”

Then, without waiting for Maxwell to speak, the call was abruptly

disconnected.

At Maxwell’s instruction, Lady Gregory dialed the number again, only to find that Mr. Robbins’ phone had already been switched off.

After trying three more times, Lady Gregory finally gave up and glanced at Maxwell before saying, “It seems that Mr. Robbins is clearly stalling us. He may have already signed a contract with Foster Enterprises.”

Maxwell stared at the road ahead without saying anything, his face looking somewhat ugly.

Lady Gregory sighed, “It was Olivia Foster and Steve who opened the ceremony dance at Pristine’s Enterprises, so it’s no wonder Mr. Robbins would choose to cooperate with the Fosters for the next project.”

Ruby’s fingers trembled slightly as she continued to hold her phone. Through the rearview mirror, she saw the worried expressions on her parents’ faces and couldn’t help but feel a pang of heartache.

If it weren’t for that night when she and Steve Burton had their encounter on the viewing platform, she would have tried her best to dance the opening dance with him.

It was all her fault for messing up such a good opportunity and handing it to

Olivia Foster..
