The man seemed calm and composed, but Ruby Gregory felt somewhat restless.
Ever since returning to the country, she was truly afraid of being alone with him.
Ruby hesitated for a moment, and then spoke: "Isn't the celebration ceremony starting soon? Shouldn't you go back and get ready?"
Steve Burton didn't turn to look at Ruby. He maintained his posture, gazing at the moon. His fair and handsome face looked even more elegant and refined under the moonlight, "There's still over an hour."
Ruby's original intention was to find an excuse to leave with Steve and enter the banquet hall. She could then conveniently avoid him. However, she didn't expect him to respond directly with time as a rejection.
Ruby remained silent for a while before saying, "Our colleagues might be there already. I'll go check."
Steve knew her intentions as soon as Ruby said her first sentence.
He knew, he had always known, that her approach, initiative, and concern for him were purposeful.
