Before Ruby Gregory could walk in, she heard Olivia Foster’s playful voice from inside the office: “Steve, take a look and choose one!”

“Stop it, I’m busy.” Steve Burton’s voice sounded somewhat indifferent, but not the least bit impatient.

“Steve, I spent a whole week carefully picking out these gifts for you. Just choose one, and then deal with those documents later.” Olivia’s tone carried a hint of coquettishness.

Upon hearing this, Ruby’s heart shuddered fiercely. Olivia really had a lot of nerve, not only she addressed Steve as “Steve” instead of “Mr. Burton” in the office, but she even persisted, pestering him while he was working! Her father once told her that nothing was more annoying for men than being continually bothered by a woman when they were busy. She wondered if Olivia wasn’t afraid of angering Steve!

As these thoughts ran through Ruby’s mind, her face showed no signs that she had heard Olivia and Steve’s conversation. She pushed open the door, holding the coffee and walked in.

Upon hearing the door being opened, Olivia twisted her head around. Upon seeing Ruby, she hesitated for a moment, then turned back nonchalantly and handed the iPad in front of Steve.

Steve caught a glimpse of Ruby entering from the corner of his eye, and his fingers on the computer keyboard paused for a moment. Then he took the iPad from Olivia.

Steve swiped a couple of times on the iPad, casually pointed to the screen twice, and asked Olivia, “Which one do you think is better, this or that?”

Olivia leaned closer to Steve, tilted her head, puckered her lips, looking innocently cute as she stared at the iPad screen. After a while, she pointed at the screen and said, “This one. The other design is a bit too conservative.” “Alright, I’ll take your advice,” Steve agreed without objection.

Olivia’s face immediately bloomed into a flowery smile: “Then it’s settled,

Steve!”

Steve handed the iPad back to Olivia, without any hint of blame in his voice, he said reprimandingly, “Don’t slack off during work hours in the future.”

Olivia pouted, showing no sign of guilt, and said, “I understand, Steve.”

The two carried on their conversation about non-work-related matters, as if they hadn’t noticed the entrance of Ruby into the office at all.

Ruby neatly placed the coffee on Steve’s right side, not interrupting their conversation, and tactfully prepared to leave.

However, Olivia suddenly turned her head towards Ruby, flashing her a crafty smile, and said, “Ruby, your timing is perfect. I was just telling Steve about his birthday party next week.. You’ve known Steve for so many years, so he must have sent you an invitation, right?”
