His gaze, however, silently fell upon Ruby Gregory, who was dressed in light blue sportswear, her hair tied back into a ponytail that hung down from a matching light blue baseball cap.
This attire made her appear much younger.
The appearance of Ruby Gregory made the scenery around Steve Burton feel even more beautiful and captivating than before.
While Steve and Howard Coleman were already in the company of a group of adult men, the addition of two pretty women was certainly welcome.
As Madeleine was already well-acquainted with these business partners, Howard simply introduced Ruby to each of them.
After exchanging greetings, Madeleine pulled Ruby over to some nearby lounge chairs, intentionally giving Ruby the seat next to Steve and sitting beside her.
Since her arrival, Ruby had not yet greeted Steve Burton, so after sitting down, she glanced over at him and said, “Good afternoon.”
The simple and ordinary phrase “Good afternoon” was quite pleasing to Steve, whose happiness over her appearance now blossomed even more in his heart.
He struggled to control the joy welling up inside him, maintaining his icy expression, as he responded to Ruby with a slight nod and a flat “Mm.”
This single “Mm” was so noble and captivating that Ruby had no idea what she should chat about with him next.
Howard and the clients had already started playing golf, and Madeleine sat beside them for a while before standing and leading the other clients to a
distant area to play.
Ruby knew that Madeleine was purposely creating another opportunity for her to spend time alone with Steve, so Mr. Robbins, who was watching from afar, would assume that she and Steve had a deep relationship.
She stealthily glanced at Mr. Robbins in the distance and confirmed that the man was indeed staring at her and Steve, as she had expected.
In her heart, Ruby thought that she could not just sit with Steve without talking to him.
Although she was extremely reluctant to chat with Steve, at this moment, she had no choice but to find a conversation topic, saying, “Howard’s golf skills are still as impressive as they were in the past.”
Steve continued staring straight ahead, his expression not shifting at all, making Ruby think that he simply did not want to bother with her.
Feeling somewhat discouraged, she shifted her gaze away from his profile, but then heard his clear and faint voice, still just one word: “Mm.”
At least the silence wasn’t complete… Ruby racked her brain to find more trivial topics to chat with Steve about..
