The secretary had previously met Mr. Octo, who she recognized and thus immediately raised her hand to greet him.

The secretary paused, respectfully walked towards Steve Burton and Mr. Octo, and courteously greeted them: “Mr. Burton, Mr. Octo.”

Without exchanging pleasantries with the secretary, Mr. Octo pointed directly to Ruby Gregory and asked, “Is she an employee from your company?”

The secretary turned her head and took a brief look. She and Ruby shared the same office, so she naturally recognized her, so she nodded and said, “Yes.”

Mr. Octo’s eyes sparkled with hope and joy, “What’s her name? Do you have her contact information?”

“Ruby Gregory.” The secretary replied. She tilted her head in thought, but she could only remember the first six digits of Ruby’s phone number. Just as she was about to look it up on her mobile, she noticed Steve Burton, sitting next to Mr. Octo, glaring at her as if she had committed an unforgivable mistake.

Having worked with Steve Burton for a long time, these secretaries were savvy and she immediately realized that she had compromised Ruby’s privacy, much to Steve Burton’s disapproval.

The secretary suddenly turned pale with fright, her fingers trembling as she held her phone. She pretended to look through her contacts, and then feigned not having Ruby’s contact stored on it. She politely said to Mr. Octo, “Mr. Octo, I am terribly sorry, Ruby Gregory just joined Pristine’s Enterprises and I haven’t saved her number yet.”

Mr. Octo looked disappointed, “I see…”

The secretary stole a quick glance at Steve Burton and noticed that he seemed slightly appeased, yet his gaze remained icy and intimidating. She found it difficult to breathe and hastily concocted an excuse to escape. Although Mr. Octo didn’t find out Ruby Gregory’s phone number, he now knew her name and he was certain he’d meet her again given their cordial collaboration with Pristine’s Enterprises. While Mr. Octo did feel regret for a while, he soon cheered up and he could not help but repeatedly uttering Ruby Gregory’s name, “Ruby Gregory… So her name is Ruby Gregory… Ruby… Indeed living up to her name, capable of captivating a city… what a great name, fits a beauty… absolutely fitting…”

Steve Burton sat next to him, appearing calm on the surface, but he was already lambasting internally. Did you coin the name Ruby Gregory?

Ruby?

Are you familiar with her?

You call her Ruby?

Even though Mr. Octo was thinking that there’s always tomorrow, he still wanted Ruby Gregory’s contact info. He couldn’t resist turning to Steve Burton again, “Mr. Burton, now that I know Ruby’s name, it would be easier to find her phone number.. Can you help me find out? I would be grateful…”
