Ruby Gregory hadn’t expected to face such a difficult challenge on Monday, so before going to work, she deliberately chose a beautiful and dignified light blue professional outfit, paired with a pair of high heels in the same color scheme.

Not yet an adult, Ruby started wearing high heels. Due to habit, she didn’t feel especially tired even after walking in them for a long time.

It might have been because she was running too fast and was a bit anxious. Her heel accidentally got caught in a sewer grate, causing a sudden, immense pain in Ruby’s ankle.

Ruby immediately squatted down, covering her ankle with her hand. Seeing that there were only five minutes left, Ruby endured the pain and took off her high heels, holding them in her hand. Ignoring the gazes of those around her, she hobbled barefoot toward the clubhouse.

At first, Ruby could bear the pain in her ankle. But as she kept walking, the pain intensified, causing her forehead to break out in sweat. Eventually, she squatted down, finding it difficult to stand up.

There were only three minutes left. If she couldn’t make it, she would be accused of incompetence. Moreover, if Steve Burton really wanted her out of Pristine’s Enterprises, her chances of staying looked slim this time.

Ruby gritted her teeth, trying to stand up again, only to be met with an even sharper pain in her ankle.

Ruby knew she wouldn’t make it in time.

But she couldn’t just stand by and watch herself get kicked out of Pristine’s Enterprises, not after only being there for a few days!

She had to find a solution to her problem before 8:30 a.m.

Ruby bit her finger, her eyes rolling around in thought.

Maya Mitchell said the phone call was from Olivia Foster. Olivia hated her so much, so if she called Olivia right now and asked her to come get her, who knew what Olivia would do to sabotage her further!

Maya was in the office and couldn’t help her now.

After going back and forth, Ruby could only think of one person: Steve Burton.

Just thinking of that name filled Ruby with an indescribable fear. But if she failed to deliver the collaboration proposal and jeopardized his work, given Olivia’s current close relationship with him, she might add fuel to the fire. Who knew if Steve would really ask her to leave right away!

Besides, perhaps Steve’s statement about her leaving Pristine’s if she failed to deliver the proposal was just Olivia’s own fabrication on the phone call.

After weighing her options for a while, Ruby gritted her teeth, pushed down her fear, and took out her phone. She found Steve Burton’s phone number and dialed it..
