She didn’t know if it was because Steve Burton had been sarcastic to her too many tis recently, but she found herself in a constant state of apprehension whenever she was at her desk.
After all, she was Steve’s secretary and assistant. Despite trying her best to avoid Steve, there were tis when she had to face him directly. At those monts, Ruby beca especially nervous. However, every ti it turned out to be a false alarm.
Once, she had even made a small mistake on a docunt she submitted to
Steve.
Steve was standing right in front of her desk, with the other secretaries sitting properly in their seats. Behind him were the manager of the Planning Departnt and the director of the Market Departnt.
At that ti, Ruby’s heart was in her throat, as she didn’t know how Steve would scold her.
When she thought she was dood, Steve looked up and asked Ruby, “Where’s the pen?”
Ruby was stunned for a second, then hurriedly grabbed the pen from her desk and handed it to him.
Steve took the pen casually, made a small change on the docunt to correct Ruby’s mistake, then looked at her and returned the pen. He took the docunt she submitted, together with the managers of the Planning and Market Departnts, and entered his office.

Every ti it happened, all the secretaries in the company would collectively go silent, fearing they might accidentally beco the target of his ire.
Ruby was no exception.
However, once she was responsible for a docunt that urgently needed Steve’s signature. At the sa ti, the Technical Departnt encountered so issues, causing the company’s intranet to be sowhat paralyzed. This made Steve directly call the manager of the Technical Departnt and utter, “If this isn’t fixed within three minutes, get out.”
Steve’s office door was open at the ti, and the secretaries in their office could hear his words clearly. With the intranet down, everyone naturally couldn’t work, but they lowered their heads, pretending to be busy.
Just then, Ruby was at the door of Steve’s office with the docunt that needed his urgent signature..
