As a result, just as Ruby Gregory had fallen asleep, the intercom on the table rang, and it was Steve Burton calling her, asking her to make a cup of coffee for him.
Ruby, struggling to keep her sleepiness at bay, climbed out of her seat and went to the pantry to make a cup of coffee, which she then brought to Steve's office.
Although her marriage to Steve was already a settled matter, in the company, Ruby still abided by the company rules. Despite her resentment towards Steve, she still maintained a demeanor of propriety and said respectfully, "Mr. Burton, here's your coffee."
Steve appeared to be focused on his computer, but in reality, when Ruby entered his office, his attention was entirely on her. He tried his best to restrain his urge to look at Ruby and only raised his eyes when she spoke, he responded with a somewhat indifferent "hmm" through his nose.
Ruby held back her overwhelming sleepiness and forced herself to smile at Steve as usual, then left his office.
