To the Love of My Life

Chapter 32 - 32: 32 Birthday Invitation (4)

Olivia Foster and Ruby Gregory walked out of Steve’s office one after the other, Olivia giving Ruby a smug look before walking gracefully to her seat and taking a seat.

Ruby lowered her eyes. From the beginning to the end, she had always overestimated her influence on Steve.

She had thought that even though he had inexplicably abandoned her three years ago, they had more than 20 years of shared history and he wouldn’t bring too much humiliation upon her!

But today, she saw Olivia cling to and flirt with Steve, and not only did he not get angry, but even his criticism was so light and breezy; even when Olivia wanted two different flavored cakes, he indulged her.

And what about her, Ruby Gregory?

She always tried to be a composed and graceful woman in front of him, putting his preferences first. However, in return, she only received his mockery, disdain, and disgust!

Perhaps it was because he simply couldn’t stand the sight of her, so no matter how well she performed, he would always pick out flaws!

In fact, she didn’t ask for much. She didn’t need his love or favor; all she needed was the position of Mrs. Burton.

Ruby’s heart suddenly felt heavy.

More importantly, it seemed that he had no intention of inviting her to his birthday party.

Many of the elite knew that she had once been close to him. Now that she’s back, if he doesn’t allow her to attend his birthday party, she would become the laughingstock among many people, and the Gregorys would be ridiculed by countless families!

Ruby glanced at the calendar on her computer. There were less than five days before his birthday, and within these five days, she would do everything possible to get an invitation to his party…

After Ruby and Olivia had left, Steve stood up and walked to the French windows.

The gentle glow of the setting sun draped over the Ciawell City, setting it aglow with grandeur and magnificence. However, Steve had no interest in appreciating the beautiful view and only felt a nagging irritation in his heart.

Matcha flavor? That was clearly his favorite flavor. From childhood to adulthood, during the more than 20 years he had known her, when had Ruby ever touched anything with a matcha flavor?

Did she really think he was so easily fooled like a fool?

Steve couldn’t help but let out a cold laugh at the corner of his lips. However, this cold laugh turned into a bitter laugh in the end.

It was truly laughable. He had known her for exactly 20 years and only now did he realize that he knew nothing about the woman he once believed he knew so well.

For instance, her favorite flavor of cake, her favorite color, her favorite food… Come to think of it, he was truly pathetic!

At this thought, a frustrated expression appeared in Steve’s eyes.
