Steve Burton slightly nodded and headed for his office.

The oldest secretary, just as Burton was about to enter his office, suddenly behaved like he remembered something, respectfully said, “Mr. Burton, since you were out on business trips these past few days, I haven’t had a chance to report to you. The new colleague approved by the HR department has already started working.”

The oldest secretary gave a glance to Ruby Gregory. Ruby immediately stood up. Despite their years of acquaintance, Ruby gave a simple introduction, “Hello, Mr. Burton, I am Ruby Gregory.”

Steve’s silhouette paused slightly, stopped in his tracks. After a moment, he slightly turned his head and lightly nodded at the oldest secretary, way of acknowledging him, then, without even glancing at Ruby who had greeted him, he walked directly into his office.

Although Steve comes from a good family and radiates a strong aura, and normally gives off the feeling of superiority, when facing employee greetings, he would at least so much as nod, even though his attitude would be frosty.

Moreover, Ruby is a new employee, he just completely ignored her!

All the secretaries looked at Ruby with various expressions in their eyes, some helpless, some sympathetic, some puzzled, and even a smug look in Olivia Foster’s eyes …

In her first-ever encounter at Pristine Enterprises, he made her lose face in front of so many people.

Ruby forced herself not to care about other people’s gazes and attempted to maintain her calm and elegant demeanor as she slowly settled back into her seat.

For several hours, Ruby kept her head down, staring at the computer screen, daring not to catch anyone’s eye.

Steve seemed to be very busy. Since entering his office at two-thirty, he hadn’t come out until four-thirty. He called the secretaries thrice—once to confirm tomorrow’s meeting and twice to have them bring documents inside.

Around five o’clock, the phone on Ruby’s desk rang. The call came from an internal line and the caller ID displayed “8888”. Ruby understood that it was a call from Steve’s office. Her fingers trembled a little, and then she quickly picked up the phone, respectfully answering, “Mr. Burton.”

At the other end of the line, Steve’s voice was devoid of any emotion. The words that came out of his mouth were clear and concise, without any unnecessary verbiage: “Get me a cup of coffee.”

Before Ruby could respond with “Yes”, she heard a “click” sound. He had hung up.

Ruby quickly put down the phone and went to the pantry to make a coffee. She prepared it according to the tastes of Mr. Burton that she had noted down on her notepad—two sachets of creamer and one sachet of sweetener, then carried it towards Steve’s office.

Ruby first raised her hand, knocked at the door, and only when she heard “come in” from inside, did she push open the door..
