To the Love of My Life

What else did she have according to Maya Mitchell, apart from shamelessly throwing herself at men?

Her tone was so sarcastically sharp, it was as if she looked down on her very existence!

Anger made Ruby Gregory’s whole body shiver until a vague pain came from her abdomen. Returning to her senses, she took deep breaths, attempting to let out the fury inside her. But the more she tried to calm down, the more agitated she became.

Ruby felt more wronged than ever before in her life. She helped Maya and in return, she was belittled by Maya. Where was justice?

She wouldn’t stand for it, she couldn’t accept it, it was unfair!

Ruby thought, if she weren’t pregnant now, she would have lunged forward and slapped Maya in the face!

What right did she have to say that all Ruby could do was throw herself at men?

What right did she have to belittle her?

Moreover, when did she start liking Steve Burton? Why was she suddenly so close to him? She was even about to become the mistress of Pristine’s Enterprises…

What utter nonsense was all this…

The more Ruby thought about it, the more anguished she felt. But in the end, she realized what bothered her the most was not Maya’s insult or her biting ingratitude. What bothered her most was the nature of the relationship between Maya and Steve!

Was it because Maya fancied Steve that she insulted her?

So in essence, all this was Steve Burton’s doing.

Ruby instantly took out her phone and sent a few angry emojis to Steve via Twitter direct messages.

Less than a minute later, she received Steve’s reply: “What happened, Ruby?”

While seething with rage, Ruby hit the keyboard hard and typed: “I have been bullied.”

After sending it, Ruby felt those words weren’t expressive enough of her suffering, so she added a line of crying emojis.

Steve replied, “Who did it?”

Without hesitation, Ruby answered: “You.”

Steve continued: “Ruby, are you telling me a cold joke?”

‘Cold joke your ass!’ thought Ruby.

Ruby, who was growing more infuriated, couldn’t help but slam her phone against the partition. A second later, her phone rang with a pleasant ringtone.

When Steve received a private Twitter message from Ruby, he was in a meeting with a client from Agrabah along with Rusell Henris.

The sudden vibration of his phone from his pocket prompted him to check. On seeing the Twitter notification, he didn’t hesitate to open it.

Being unsure if Ruby was genuinely angry or just teasing, he had semi-jokingly replied, “Ruby, are you teasing me?” He then apologized to his client from Agrabah, signaled Rusell to attend to them, and stepped out to call Ruby.

After quite a wait, his call was answered, and Steve spoke up: “Ruby?”
