Chapter 421: Chapter 421: The Promised Indifference (1)
Steve Burton seemed to know that woman, and they were quite familiar with each other. They were dancing a beautiful and elegant dance in perfect harmony, and chatting from time to time.

Occasionally, when they found something amusing, Steve and the woman would look at each other and laugh.

Steve’s laugh was not particularly strong, just a faint curve of his lips. However, Ruby Gregory found his laughter glaring, causing her to focus all her attention on Steve and the woman. She completely forgot that she was dancing with Howard Coleman, and accidentally stepped on Howard’s foot.

Ruby came back to her senses, apologized to Howard, and said “Sorry.” Then, after barely two steps of dancing with Howard, her gaze drifted back to Steve and the woman. Within less than half a minute, Howard let out another painful grunt.

This time, Ruby didn’t take her eyes off Steve and the woman, and absentmindedly repeated, “Sorry.”

As a result, not even two seconds after Ruby’s words, Steve and the woman stopped dancing. She didn’t know what they were talking about, but they walked out of the dance floor together.

Ruby instinctively stopped and suddenly let go of Howard’s hand.

“Ruby…” Howard frowned, but before he could finish speaking, Ruby picked up her skirt, stepped in her high heels, and hurriedly followed Steve and the woman out of the dance floor.

Ruby saw Steve and the woman sitting down on a sofa in the corner.

The woman smiled charmingly, called the waiter, ordered two drinks, and handed one to Steve. After clinking glasses, they drained their cups and continued their face-to-face conversation.

Ruby’s pace did not slow down until she was almost in front of Steve and the woman. She stopped awkwardly, staring straight at the two people on the sofa. Steve was holding a mobile phone, pointing at the screen while talking to the woman, gesticulating for a while. The woman gave a smile and tapped on his phone as well. Although Ruby didn’t know what they were talking about, the scene seemed warm and affectionate to her.

Ruby felt a fire burning in her heart, making her want to rush over and chase the woman away from Steve’s side immediately.

Ruby thought that if she continued watching like this, she would go crazy, so she clenched her fists, turned around, and walked out of the banquet hall.

The banquet hall was on the sixteenth floor of the Grand Capital Hotel, and Ruby leaned on the balcony railing, feeling the cold breeze cool her emotions slightly. However, an indescribable sense of discomfort continued to churn inside her.

After an unknown period of time, Ruby finally pulled her gaze back from the distant city lights, took a deep breath, and turned around to return to the banquet hall. But she found someone standing behind her.

She was startled at first, and when she saw the person’s face, her expression became somewhat stiff. She pursed her lips, lowered her eyelids, and didn’t speak.

Edric Reat wore a black, elegant suit, standing tall and straight at the exit of the balcony, staring straight at Ruby.
