Even if there's only a slim chance, she wouldn't give up!
As the call connected, a long beeping sound came through, and Ruby Gregory's heart grew more and more tense with this sound.
The phone rang five times, just when Ruby thought no one would answer, the call was picked up.
At the other end of the call, it wasn't Steve Burton's voice, but the sound of footsteps.
After a while, the footsteps stopped, and only then Steve's usual cold tone came through: "Hello?"
Ruby listened to his voice, her heart almost stopped. Her palm, gripping the phone, was sweaty. She took a deep breath and said, "Mr. Burton, this is Ruby Gregory."
"Hmm." His response was genuinely restrained, just a cold and indifferent tone.
Ruby knew that Steve had no intention of making any conversation, she swallowed and tried to sound calm: "I have brought the collaboration case for the meeting you will be holding today. Can you have Olivia Foster come over and pick it up?"
