Ruby Gregory knew that the clothes were prepared for her. However, the dress was goose-yellow in color. She had no other choice but to wear it since Steve Burton had torn her clothes yesterday. So, Ruby picked up the dress, put it on, and tidied it up.

When Ruby entered the bathroom, new toiletries were placed on the washstand. After freshening up, she went downstairs from the second floor. As Ruby walked around the spiral staircase, she saw Steve sitting on the living room couch, holding a document in hand, and watching the TV that was playing a financial channel. Steve would intermittently lift his head from the document to glance at the TV screen. The humming sound from the range hood in the kitchen could be heard.

Ruby hesitated for a moment before slowly descending the staircase. As she passed the living room couch, she still decided to address Steve, who was caught between watching the TV and studying the document, saying, “Um… I’ll be going first.”

Compared to Steve’s mom, Mrs. Taylor was more familiar with Ruby. She took great care of Steve and also looked after Ruby quite a bit.

There were some things that the Burtons didn’t know, but Mrs. Taylor did — for example, Mr. Steve’s feelings towards Ms. Gregory.

Mrs. Taylor had witnessed the entire scene between Ruby and Steve in the living room. As a housekeeper, she shouldn’t interfere in her employer’s affairs, but she had always cherished Steve as her own son. So, she couldn’t help but call out to Ruby, who was walking toward the door, and stopped her..
