“Yeah.” Steve Burton lazily leaned back on the sofa behind him, picked up the glass of water Ruby Gregory brought for him, took a sip, and then raised his eyelids to look at Ruby who was still standing in front of him. He tilted his body slightly and patted the empty seat next to him, saying, “Sit down.”

Ruby hesitated for a moment, walked over and sat down. As she leaned closer to him, his familiar subtle scent entered her nose, and she unconsciously became nervous, a different kind of nervousness than before, with a touch of shyness.

Unfortunately, after she sat down, Steve’s eyes remained on her, making her even more nervous, to the point that her face gradually flushed red.

Ruby instinctively searched for a topic to alleviate this ambiguous and awkward atmosphere: “You don’t seem too busy today, finishing the paperwork so early.”

“Hmm.” Steve responded, realizing that his answer was brief, he added, “I was dealing with some backlog files the past few days.”

“Oh.” Ruby silently scolded herself for choosing such a lousy topic, as these few words of conversation left her at a loss for what to say next.

Ruby glanced around and saw a remote control nearby: “Want to watch TV?”

Steve nodded without any objections.

Ruby immediately turned on the TV with the remote control, and it happened to be playing the most popular costume palace drama in recent years. When she had been in Costa Luna, she had binge-watched the entire series from beginning to end, so she didn’t change the channel and just started watching it.

She actually knew the plot of the drama, and re-watching it was not as interesting as the first time, but she still pretended to watch the TV intently.

Even in her heart, she secretly praised herself for suggesting to watch TV. It was a great idea, not having to find a topic to talk to Steve, and not feeling too awkward.

The entire patient room was quiet, with only the sound of the TV continuously playing.

After an unknown amount of time, Steve, who was sitting beside Ruby, suddenly asked, “Which one is the female lead?”

Ruby was stunned by Steve’s question, then pointed to the character played by Charlotte Madris on the TV, saying, “She’s the female lead.”

Steve nodded with sudden realization, then pointed to the domineering woman who was acting with Charlotte and asked, “So, this is the most important female supporting role?”

“In the first half, yes, but she dies pretty early.” Ruby paused, then added, “However, even though she doesn’t have many scenes, many people really like her.”

“Really?” A layer of doubt appeared on Steve’s face, as if he couldn’t believe that such a domineering supporting character could be so popular.

Ruby hadn’t had such a calm conversation with Steve for many years. Seeing his gentle demeanor, the tension in her heart also loosened up a bit, and her words became less restrained: “Of course, you know that one popular phrase that’s been circulating online, ‘Bitchiness is just fake emotion’, right? It’s her line.”

“Oh?” Interest surfaced in Steve’s eyes.

Seeing Steve become more interested, Ruby became more natural in her speech. She nodded enthusiastically, and excitedly began to tell Steve the story of this female supporting character.
