Steve Burton arrived at The Sapphire Bistro, only to find Howard Coleman, Russell Henris, Edward Woods, and Madeleine present.

There were two hostesses in the private room. Howard was wearing a provocative white suit with two buttons undone on his black shirt, revealing his sexy collarbone. He was holding the two hostesses while singing enthusiastically in front of the karaoke machine.

In front of Russell was a thick stack of files. Even in such a loud and colorful environment, he was still able to concentrate and deal with work matters professionally.

Madeleine and Edward Woods were playing drinking games with dice.

Madeleine seemed to be in a bad mood, glanced at Steve, didn’t greet him, and looked at Howard playing with the two young hostesses. Then she quickly lowered her gaze, shaking the dice container absentmindedly.

Steve thought Madeleine was not happy because he had lost his temper with Ruby Gregory the other day. As he walked by Madeleine, he reached out and patted her head.

Madeleine looked up and pouted, mumbled, “Brother,” and looked at Howard again.

Steve sat next to Russell, picked up a new wine glass on the table, poured himself a drink, took a sip, glanced at the financial report on Russell’s knee and realized it was this past week’s report. Steve took another sip and asked, “How many percentage points did it increase?”

“Forty-five, not as good as the previous week.” Russell answered Steve’s question in seconds, closed the report, took a sip of his drink, glanced at Steve, and jokingly said, “But no matter how bad it gets, it’s all better than Ruby

Gregory’s second week at Pristine’s Enterprises: that month’s revenue was negative.”

Steve could clearly tell that Russell was making fun of the incident when he called off the deal because Ruby had twisted her ankle. He hooked his lip, smiled faintly, raised his wine glass without a word, and took a leisurely sip.

Russell waited for Steve to put down his wine glass, then calmly asked, “I heard you had a quarrel with Ruby today?”

Speaking of this, Russell deliberately corrected himself: “Oh, no, not a quarrel, you scolded Ruby, and young Madeleine was bullied as well?”

Steve glanced at Russell without saying anything, and before he could speak, Russell seemed to know what Steve was going to ask and said, “Howard told me.”

“Howard sure likes to gossip,” Steve said in a low voice.

Russell didn’t reply. He slowly savored the wine in his glass and then said,

“Steve, I heard you were very harsh to Ruby today.”

PS: That’s all for today, see you tomorrow during the day– Actually, Ruby feels wronged, and Brother Steve also feels wronged. It’s all the fault of the author, who is a big devil.. Big devil, stand up, and I promise I won’t beat you to death! Congratulations to the winning readers: of the show VS I’m really not a villain
