Russell said, Steve Burton is sincere this time; he may not have a future with Ruby.
Initially, Edward Woods didn't take it seriously. However, the day after the wedding was called off, Steve went back to Pristine's Enterprises as usual: he worked, attended meetings, saw clients, processed documents and made decisions. He was prompt and assertive in everything he did, looking exactly like the usual Steve.
This is Steve's usual method – he uses work to numb himself and escape from reality. Edward thought that Steve would eventually slip up.
However, as the days went by, Edward found that Steve always maintained a diligent work attitude, and worked tirelessly for the company every day.
It seemed as though just like Russell said, the story between Ruby and Steve had come to an end.
Eventually, everyone seemed to accept this fact and really felt that there was no possibility for Ruby and Steve any longer.
