When Ruby Gregory arrived at the company, it was just half past eight, and the whole company was empty with only a few employees around.

At nine o’clock, the company building gradually became lively, and by the normal starting time of nine-thirty, all the employees in the secretarial office had arrived.

Steve Burton didn’t arrive at the company until ten o’clock. When he stepped into the office, Ruby’s attention turned to the landline phone in front of her. However, she waited for a long time, and the phone on the table didn’t make a sound, until finally, Ms. Taylor’s phone rang.

Ruby clearly heard Ms. Taylor shout: “Mr. Burton.”

Then she hung up the phone, picked up a document similar to an itinerary from the table, and walked into Steve Burton’s office.

Ruby just felt as if a basin of cold water had been poured over her head, and her whole body became a bit cold.

Ruby had no mood to work at all, her eyes constantly staring at the door of Steve Burton’s office. She waited until Ms. Taylor came out of Steve’s office, and then stared at her landline again.

However, in the end, it was still the phone on Ms. Taylor’s desk that rang.

Ruby saw Ms. Taylor go to the pantry, make a cup of coffee, and bring it into Steve Burton’s office.

Ruby’s mood became even more depressed. She had almost no mind to work all morning, and all her attention was on who entered and exited Steve Burton’s office.

Ruby felt strange herself. When Steve called her into the office constantly, she complained that she had too much work. Now that Steve didn’t call her, she felt as if her heart was pressed with a big stone, heavy and extremely uncomfortable.

At noon, Ruby went to the cafeteria for a quick lunch, and when she was about to go upstairs, she received a call from the front desk about her delivery.

Ruby went directly to sign for the delivery on the first floor and then went back to her office with the package.

Maya Mitchell had already finished her meal and returned to her office, sitting in her chair and discussing the latest celebrity gossip on Twitter with a colleague sitting behind her.

Ruby took a small knife from the nearby stationery holder, opened the delivery, and saw that the painkillers she had ordered online had arrived. She took them all out at once, stuffed them into her drawer, and went to throw away the empty delivery box.

After Ruby left, Maya glanced at her drawer, saw three or four boxes with “Ibuprofen” clearly written on them.

Maya looked at Ruby’s figure with some suspicion, wondering what she was buying so many painkillers for.

Suddenly, as if remembering something, she laughed at the secretary behind her and said, “I just remembered, I have some work to do.” So she sat back at her desk, turned on her computer, and quickly got busy.

At half past three in the afternoon, Steve Burton finished a brief meeting, and just as he entered the office, Maya came to his office with a report in her arms.

Maya raised her hand and knocked on the door. After about ten seconds, Steve’s voice came from inside: “Come in.”

Maya pushed the door open and saw Steve unbuttoning his suit.

She walked to Steve’s desk quietly with the file in her arms, put it on the table with both hands, and said, “Mr. Burton, this is the cooperation report with Sunshine Group, please sign.”
