Ruby Gregory paused before answering the call, trying her best to keep her voice steady. "Dad," she said.
From the other end of the line came Maxwell Gregory's voice, tinged with happiness. "Ruby, Mr. Robbins contacted me for dinner and even signed a contract with me."
Originally, this was what Ruby wanted to happen. But now that the goal had been achieved, she felt no joy. Lowering her eyes, she deliberately asked with a relaxed tone, "Really?"
"Yes, Ruby, what method did you use to get Mr. Robbins to contact me proactively? And he even invited me out for dinner tonight."
"There wasn't any special method..."
Before Ruby could finish, Maxwell interrupted her excitedly. "Ruby, Mr. Robbins mentioned Steve during dinner, and he even said that when I become successful, I must not forget his help..." Maxwell paused for a moment, his voice slightly tentative but confident as he asked, "Ruby, did Steve help out?"
Ruby hesitated for a moment and said, "Yes."
