If it hadn’t been for Mr. Robbins giving Steve Burton face and cooperating with the Fosters, Ruby Gregory could have asked Madeleine for the favor and just given Mr. Robbins a heads up.
Upon seeing Ruby return, Madeleine imdiately asked, “All sorted out?”
Ruby nodded, and Madeleine took her arm, leading her towards where Steve Burton and Howard Coleman were.
With Madeleine’s company, Ruby got closer and closer to Steve. Her heartbeat gradually quickened, and a layer of sweat ford in her palms.
Everything was going accordingto her plan. However, she had forgotten just one thing — the uncontrollable nervousness she felt in front of Steve.
It took great effort to finally get a weekend off. In reality, Steve didn’t want to engage in outdoor activities; he’d rather stay inside the Mansion, listening to music, sipping coffee, and going over so leftover docunts, while staring at the glow of the setting sun and wondering what Ruby, who lived next door, was up to.
Nevertheless, golf has always been a favorite social activity among the upper class. To ensure a pleasant cooperation, he ca to the golf course even though he didn’t want to.
This place was the most beautiful golf course in the capital city. Not far away, there was a shimring lake. The gentle autumn breeze, neither cold nor hot, carried the fragrance of the grass, making it indeed quite pleasant and calming.
The bright sun provided warmth without being too hot, and the sky was so blue it seed as if it had been painted. The clouds were white, hanging low, almost like thin veil.

Mountains and rivers, no matter how pleasant the sceneries were on the way, none of them could compare with being near her.
Steve Burton blinked gently, looking away from the view. His gaze, however,
landed on a familiar figure on the soft, green grass.
Was it an illusion?
Was it an illusion created because he was thinking of her?
Steve furrowed his brow slightly, only to see Ruby and Madeleine walking towards his direction, hand in hand.
Madeleine ca here to help Ruby. Being with Steve and Howard required no reason or excuse, so she led Ruby by the arm and stood coquettishly in front of Steve, “What a coincidence, you’re here too. Luckily, Ruby and I can save money on playing golf today.”
Steve sat composed in his seat, his face expressionless..
