Despite everything, Ruby Gregory picked up the chopsticks and served a portion of Steve Burton's favorite braised meatball in gravy sauce on his plate.
While serving him the food, Ruby did not forget to carefully gauge Steve's reaction. Seeing that his mood hadn't become more depressive, she felt somewhat reassured and proceeded to serve him other dishes in his plate consecutively.
With every serving, Steve's demeanour would soften marginally. By the end, Ruby also felt somewhat relaxed. Noticing that Steve still hadn't picked up his chopsticks to eat, she couldn't help but utter, "Mr. Burton, you should eat something too."
Steve's face suddenly turned worse than before, his voice chilling to the bone, "So, you want me to start eating, so that you can eat in peace?"
Why did his mood change from sunny to overcast so suddenly?
Steve's frequently changing mood left Ruby somewhat helpless. In a fluster, she shook her head, "No, no."
