In the underground parking garage, Steve Burton opened the passenger seat door for Ruby Gregory. Ruby remembered that Madeleine had told her that Steve really hated having someone sit in the passenger seat. She glanced at the door to the back seat and then at Steve, who had already opened the passenger seat. After hesitating for a moment, Ruby finally climbed into the passenger seat.

As she fastened her seatbelt, she kept watching Steve’s expression in the rearview mirror, only to find that his face never showed any displeasure. It was then that she felt reassured.

As the car drove out of the city and smoothly headed towards the West Suburb Villa District, Steve turned on the car’s music, allowing the melodious songs to surround the entire cabin.

Although they didn’t talk much during the journey when Steve drove Ruby home, she could still feel that his mood wasn’t bad.

She also vaguely knew that it was her request for him to drive her home that had pleased him.

Over the years, the Gregorys had only taught her how to please Steve, not to refuse his requests, and to consider everything he liked as her own preferences. She had always thought that as long as she followed their methods, she would be successful. So, from the moment she realized the mission she had been given in life, she no longer asked Steve to do anything for her. She no longer acted spoiled, cute, or difficult as she did when she was a child. In front of him, she became reserved, considerate, and began learning to care for him and treat him well.

The Gregorys also told her that men didn’t like clingy and nagging women, nor did they like women who were immature and without a sense of responsibility. So, she always tried to be a woman who wouldn’t cause any trouble for Steve. However, no matter how well she behaved, not only did she fail to gain his affection, but she also nearly dragged the Gregorys down with her in the end.

What Mrs. Taylor had taught her today clearly seemed to be correct.

It seemed that from today on, she needed to learn once again how to interact with Steve.

On Monday, the first day of the workweek, Ruby got up early, washed up, and went to the dressing room to pick out her clothes. She instinctively chose a light blue piece for her autumn outfit. But as she was about to put it on, she remembered Mrs. Taylor’s words: “You need to let the man see a different you every day.” Ruby hesitated for a moment, then returned the light blue outfit to the wardrobe and chose a rose-colored knit sweater to wear instead, paired with a pair of white skinny pants.

When Ruby arrived at the office, Maya Mitchell, who had been beaten up by Olivia Foster, was already sitting unscathed in the office. Olivia, who hadn’t come in last week either, was also back at work. However, she was less flamboyant than before, and even her dressing was more subdued and calm.

Ruby sat in her seat and greeted Maya. Before she could finish speaking, Steve came out of the elevator, so she had to close her mouth and, like other secretaries, quickly stood up and respectfully greeted: “Mr. Burton.”

As usual, Steve stopped in front of the senior secretary Ms. Taylor to listen to her report for the day’s schedule. Only today, his eyes would occasionally drift towards Ruby instead of being focused intently on the schedule as before.
