To the Love of My Life - Chapter 547

Chapter 547: Chapter 547: My Gentleness is Not Disturbing You (1)

Russell said, Steve Burton is sincere this time; he may not have a future with Ruby.

Initially, Edward Woods didn’t take it seriously. However, the day after the wedding was called off, Steve went back to Pristine’s Enterprises as usual: he worked, attended meetings, saw clients, processed documents and made decisions. He was prompt and assertive in everything he did, looking exactly like the usual Steve.

This is Steve’s usual method – he uses work to numb himself and escape from reality. Edward thought that Steve would eventually slip up.

However, as the days went by, Edward found that Steve always maintained a diligent work attitude, and worked tirelessly for the company every day.

It seemed as though just like Russell said, the story between Ruby and Steve had come to an end.

Eventually, everyone seemed to accept this fact and really felt that there was no possibility for Ruby and Steve any longer.

–

Every day in this world, countless people are breaking up, falling in love, reuniting, separating, and thus, countless people are mourning, rejoicing, experiencing sweetness, and experiencing sorrow.

However, no matter how your emotions change, time does not wait for anyone.

In just a blink of an eye, Ruby and Steve had been apart for nearly a month.

During this month, many noteworthy news events occurred. For example, Pristine’s Enterprises completed a partnership with a well-known American company, a subsidiary of Pristine’s Enterprises was listed as an independent entity and Maxwell Gregory, the president of Gregory’s Enterprises, announced that Gregory’s went bankrupt, transferring the company. Then Pristine’s Enterprises acquired Gregory’s Enterprises, preserving its original name but replacing senior management. Maxwell Gregory became a shareholder and owned nearly thirty percent of the shares.

No matter how many news stories emerged in this month, or how many intersections there were between Pristine’s Enterprises and Gregory’s Enterprises, the two protagonists, Steve and Ruby, never saw each other again.

Not every story has an ending, nor is every ending in a story as beautiful as you imagine.

Often, a pair of seemingly perfect people abruptly go their separate ways, not even saying goodbye.

However, sometimes, the heavens do give people a special chance.

With the arrival of the New Year, there’s the saying ‘new year, new beginnings’ but Steve didn’t feel any so-called new beginnings, every day was occupied with busy work.

The closer it was to the end of the year, the busier the work turned out to be. There were also more dining parties to attend. Sometimes, Steve had to attend four or five gatherings in a day.

The more dining parties he attended, the more likely he was to bump into acquaintances.

This year’s Chinese New Year was a bit late; a week before Chinese New Year, the beginning spring was celebrated.

On this day, Steve came across two acquaintances.

The first acquaintance was met at a lunch party he attended.

Because Steve had to deal with some company matters at the last minute, he arrived a bit late. By the time he got there, everyone else had arrived, and he was the only one who was missing.

As soon as Steve came in, someone immediately pulled out the empty seat for him.

After taking off his coat, Steve elegantly took the empty seat, picked up the glass of wine in front of him, calmly apologized, and then emptied his drink with one swig.
