To the Love of My Life

Right before the end of the workday, Ruby Gregory went to the restroom and happened to run into Maya Mitchell, who had just finished washing her hands.

Through the mirror, Maya spoke to Ruby, “Ruby.”

Ruby smiled and greeted her, intending to walk towards a stall. Suddenly, as if recalling something, she stopped and turned to Maya, who had just finished washing her hands and was about to leave. “Maya?”

Maya stopped and turned her head, looking at Ruby, “Hmm?” she replied, then asked, “Ruby, what’s up?

In the past, it was always others trying every means to inquire about Steve Burton from her, Ruby Gregory. Never would she have imagined that one day she would fall into the position of being the “others”, inquiring about Steve from someone else.

Especially this person, who knew about the good relationship she had once had with Steve.

Ruby hesitated for a moment before asking, “Maya, how come I haven’t seen Mr. Burton these past few days?”

As someone who had been promoted from a secretary assistant to a secretary, Maya was well-informed about Steve’s schedule. So when she heard Ruby’s question, she didn’t hesitate to answer, “Mr. Burton has gone on a business trip to Agrabah, he’ll be back this afternoon.”

Ruby uttered an “Oh” and thanked Maya before turning to go into the stall.

After using the restroom, Ruby pushed the door open and walked towards the sink, rearranging her skirt as she did so.

Ruby had only taken a few steps when she heard a cold, sneering laughter behind her. She furrowed her brows and then heard Olivia Foster’s mocking and sarcastic voice, “Ruby Gregory, you were just eagerly asking Maya about where our Mr. Burton is, what are you trying to do?”

Ruby knew from that sentence that Olivia had overheard her conversation with Maya earlier.

However, she hadn’t expected that Olivia’s ability to distort facts and exaggerate situations had increased significantly over the years.

Ruby let her eyelids droop, ignoring Olivia’s words. She elegantly and nonchalantly turned on the faucet to wash her hands.

Seeing Ruby’s calm expression in the face of her sarcasm, Olivia chuckled and, with a seductive stride, walked to Ruby’s side. She opened the faucet as well, washing her hands side-by-side with Ruby. “Ruby Gregory, I’ve heard that back in the day, you voluntarily climbed onto Steve’s bed, but he rejected you. Humiliated, you had no choice but to run off to Costa Luna, right?”

Not many people knew about the incident back then, but it did not mean that Olivia was unaware of it.

After all, her cousin had married into the Burtons, so she must have heard the news from them..
