Mr. Robbins' words seemed to be aimed at both Ruby Gregory and Steve Burton, hinting that he hoped Steve would take good care of Ruby as a favor to the Gregorys, his business partners.
Understanding the implications, Ruby's felt relieved that her goal had been achieved and her nervousness dissipated. She curved her lips: "Thank you for your concern, Mr. Robbins, my dad is doing well."
In a great mood, Mr. Robbins turned to Steve and said: "It's been a real pleasure playing golf today, and I'm glad I bumped into Ms. Gregory. If not for her, I wouldn't have known that you were here, and who knows when we'd have the chance to meet again."
Ruby met Mr. Robbins? Told him she was on the golf course as well?
A hint of contemplation crossed Steve's eyes, but he quickly regained his composure and nodded politely at Mr. Robbins.
Before leaving, Mr. Robbins didn't forget to build rapport, saying: "Mr. Burton, I hope we'll have the chance to compare our golf skills in the future."
