After all these years, Rusell Henris remained unchanged, speaking with a gentle and refined tone.

Ruby Gregory smiled brightly at Rusell, her eyes curving with the grin. Just then, the sunlight hit her face, reflecting a dazzling brilliance. “Jack.”

“It’s been three years, and Ruby, you have become much more beautiful than before.” Rusell looked Ruby up and down, then added, “However, you have also lost quite a bit of weight.”

No matter how beautiful and attractive a woman is and regardless of her figure, she will always feel slightly overweight.

Ruby Gregory was no exception.

Even though Rusell complimented her for being slim and made her feel overjoyed, her response was far from pleased. In fact, it had a hint of complaint, “Jack, you’re saying that I was fat and not good-looking before.”

Rusell said, “Ruby, you are clearly twisting my words.”

Ruby replied, “Jack, I’m simply making a justified argument.”

Howard Coleman was about to join in the conversation between Rusell and Ruby when he suddenly spotted Steve Burton walking over with a cold face. He immediately changed his words and called out, “Bro.”

At that moment, Rusell just happened to speak up, “Confucius really had great foresight, leaving behind such a truth – ‘only women and villains are hard to deal with.’

Ruby snorted at Rusell, about to reply with, “Yes, I’m a woman, and you’re a villain!” However, she caught Howard’s call of “bro” and instinctively tilted her head, finding Steve Burton standing two steps behind Rusell.

Ruby’s words choked in her throat, and the lively, bright smile on her face disappeared in an instant. She stood in her original spot with proper etiquette and a perfect smile, calling out softly, “Mr. Burton.”

Steve Burton showed no reaction, his gaze coolly falling on Ruby’s face.

Even though she was smiling at him as well.

But, it was completely different from her previous smile.

When she smiled at Rusell, it came from the bottom of her heart. Her smile towards him, however, lacked sincerity and soul; it was merely a formal smile.

It was as if the joyfully laughing, blooming woman from just moments ago was an entirely different person.

Ruby knew that Steve Burton was staring at her, and tension began rising within her heart. Her expression grew more and more rigid as a result.

As her expression changed, so did Steve Burton’s face, which gradually turned colder and colder.

Feeling the atmosphere around them suddenly freeze, Howard hastily spoke up, trying to defuse the tension, “Bro, what brings you here?”

Steve Burton continued to fix his gaze on Ruby for another two seconds before shifting his cool gaze away. With an emphasised icy tone, he answered, “I came to get the cooperation case..”
