Ruby spoke, then hurriedly glanced at Steve’s face.
She thought the man’s expression would imdiately darken.
However, unexpectedly, not only did Steve’s face show no sign of gloom, it even beca brighter. He seed in a good mood as he continued to leisurely pick up the chess pieces.
All along, Ruby felt that having known Steve for many years, she should understand him well, but now she discovered that the man was far different from what she knew.
For instance, she thought he would be angry and unhappy at that mont, but he wasn’t.
And sotis, when she felt she had done well enough, he would suddenly turn his back on her rcilessly.
Steve picked up all the chess pieces on the table before looking up and glancing at Ruby. As if he suddenly thought of sothing, he said, “It’s noisy here, accompany upstairs to find a quiet place and sit for a while.”
Ruby didn’t expect Steve to suggest leaving them alone. She was slightly surprised, but by the ti she ca to her senses, he had already stood up.
Ruby looked at the bustling banquet scene in the distance. Although everyone seed to be chatting and playing gas, many people’s gazes were still on Steve.
Ruby thought about the words she heard those two people say when they saw her in the restroom.
The reason she fought to be at this banquet was to avoid becoming a laughingstock herself and not let the Gregorys be ridiculed, but she hadn’t expected that she would still beco a topic of discussion due to a slip.
If she left with Steve now, others would assu that their relationship had never broken and that his attitude towards her during the gift-giving was just a temporary coldness.
After all, even the best of friends could have their quarrels at tis.
In this way, not only would she regain her dignity but also save face for the Gregorys.
With that in mind, Ruby slowly got up and followed behind Steve, leaving the banquet scene under the deliberate and unintentional gazes of others.
Steve brought Ruby to a suite on the top floor of the banquet hall.
Compared to the lively birthday party, the suite was quiet without any noise.
In the suite’s vase, there was a bouquet of stunningly beautiful flowers, emitting an elegant fragrance.
Steve took off his suit jacket, threw it onto the living room couch, and then went into the bedroom, lying directly down on the bed.
Ruby didn’t dare disturb Steve, so she carefully picked up his casually discarded suit jacket, hung it in the closet with a hanger, and straightened it out.
The bedroom door was left open, and Ruby saw Steve lift his hand from ti to ti to rub his brow..
