Olivia Foster’s face became even more unsightly, how could she not know that it was Steve Burton who allowed Ruby Gregory to join Pristine’s Enterprises?

On her very first day at Pristine’s Enterprises, her family had told her that, no matter what means necessary, she must drive Ruby Gregory out of the company in the shortest time possible.

She just happened to overhear Ruby asking Maya Mitchell about Steve’s whereabouts, so she casually mocked her a bit. Unexpectedly, after three years, Ruby still had such a sharp tongue!

Olivia Foster, seemingly reaching her boiling point, her hateful tone trembled, “Ruby Gregory, don’t push people too far, and don’t be too arrogant. What men never lack are women who offer themselves up. Right now, Steve is just missing you after three years and finding you a novelty, wanting to taste some freshness again!”

Upon hearing this, Ruby Gregory let out a soft laugh, the pupils of her eyes, beneath her arched brows, rippled like water. She deliberately lowered her voice and said to Olivia, very deliberately, “Well then, Olivia Foster, now the question is, do you think in Mr. Burton’s eyes, you are no longer considered fresh? Or is it that Mr. Burton has never deigned to taste you at all?”

Olivia Foster was immediately rendered speechless by Ruby’s words.

Indeed, in order to gain the respect of her family, to break away from her title as an illegitimate daughter, she had always wanted to marry a Burton man, just like her older cousin, and secure some speaking power within the family. She and Ruby were of similar ages, so she could only target Steve Burton, but when she finally met him, she realized that he wasn’t just a target, he was her life’s pursuit of deep love.

She even thought that Steve didn’t need to marry her; as long as he allowed her to be his woman, she would be content.

However, in all these years of scrambling after him, bumping and stumbling,

Steve had never laid a finger on her.

A faint mist appeared in the corner of Olivia Foster’s eyes.

Ruby blinked and said, “Olivia Foster, don’t tell me that you’re so fragile that you’re about to cry because of a few words from me? Once your eye makeup is ruined by crying, you’ll look terrible. Don’t blame me for not reminding you that Mr. Burton is coming back this afternoon.”

Olivia Foster could only try her best to hold back her tears.

Ruby Gregory no longer continued to pay any attention to Olivia Foster, she simply turned around and walked out of the restroom.

At 2:30 in the afternoon, just as Maya Mitchell had said, Steve Burton appeared in the office on time.

Following behind him were Howard Coleman and Rusell Henris. The three of them stepped out of the elevator, and he said something to them that made Howard and Rusell return to their respective offices, while he headed directly to his own office.

All the secretaries in the office put down their work and stood up simultaneously, greeting him, “Mr. Burton, hello!”

Steve Burton nodded slightly and walked straight to his office..
