When Ruby Gregory arrived at the entrance of Pristine's Enterprises, the late-night meal had just been delivered.
Retracing her steps to the top floor, Ruby placed the food box on her own desk. She caught a glimpse of the light in Steve Burton's office, closed her eyes and took a deep breath. Then, carrying the food box, she walked towards Steve's office.
As she got closer and closer to the office door, Ruby's heartbeat sped up even more. She really wanted to just turn around and flee with the food box in hand.
In the end, it felt like it took all the strength of nine oxen and two tigers for Ruby to finally drag her heavy-feeling feet to the door of Steve's office.
Ruby raised her hand several times, wanting to knock on the door, but eventually she pulled back awkwardly. After hesitating several times, Ruby finally gritted her teeth and gently knocked three times on the door.
