11 Chapter 11: The Habit of Not Waiting for Others (1)
Translator: 549690339
Ruby Gregory thought about it and took out her phone, found Steve Burton’s number, and dialed it.
When Ruby called, Steve had just finished his bath and walked out of the bathroom. As he wiped his dripping wet hair, he glanced at his phone and saw the name “Ruby.” Steve’s hand holding the towel paused for a moment before he slowly answered. Before he had a chance to speak, Ruby’s voice came from the other end of the line: “I agree.”
Just three words.
It made Steve pause for a moment before he unconsciously responded, “Huh?”
Ruby gripped her phone, thinking Steve had forgotten what he had said to her. She pursed her lips and calmly said, “I said I agree to your proposal just now. One date a month with you, and you let me work at Pristine’s Enterprises.”
It took a moment for Steve to come back to his senses, and he held his phone without a reply.
It was strange. It was his proposal, but now that she agreed, he felt as if there was a fire in his heart that had nowhere to vent.
Ruby waited a while and seeing that Steve was silent, she asked, “When can I start working at Pristine’s Enterprises?”
Steve was amused by Ruby’s words, and couldn’t help but burst out laughing. Eventually, he released the words full of scorn and ridicule: “Ruby Gregory, I slept with you and didn’t want you back then, yet now, you’re eager to give yourself away. How thick-skinned can you be?”
His words were ruthless, like a sharp knife that instantly tore Ruby’s dignity to shreds.
Although they were on the phone and Ruby knew he couldn’t see her humiliation, she still sat up straight in her car seat, trying her best to maintain a dignified calm demeanor.
She knew the saying “the early bird catches the worm,” so she had to work at Pristine’s Enterprises.
Marrying Steve and becoming the mistress of the Burtons had been her ultimate goal since childhood.
Nobody could stop her.
Even if that person was Steve himself, it wouldn’t work!
After a long silence between the two, Steve finally spoke up: “Tomorrow is the tenth of this month. Tomorrow night at ten o’clock, you know where. Drive yourself over and make me happy. The day after, I’ll let you into Pristine Enterprises.”
Steve paused for a moment before adding, “Ten o’clock – you know I don’t have the habit of waiting.”
Having said that, Steve hung up the phone.
