Russell Henris raised his hand, rubbed his nose, and asked, "What's going on between you and Ruby?"
Besides Ruby Gregory making Steve Burton act strangely and break norms, Russell couldn't think of any other possibilities.
Steve Burton glanced slantingly at Russell, a hint of warning in his eyes.
Russell Henris shuddered all over, promptly raising his hand in surrender. "I'll arrange it for you right now."
Having said this, Russell disappeared swiftly from in front of Steve.

Steve elegantly swayed his glass of alcohol, occasionally lifting it for a sip.
He kept a close eye on Russell and his own mother.
A bit of distance separated them, the ambiance of the gathering was noisy, he had no idea what Russell said to Charlotte Madris, but Charlotte gave Russell a sweet smile, nodded slightly, and with a composed posture, followed Russell towards the rear door of the banquet hall.
