Upon hearing that Ruby Gregory came with Steve Burton, Mr. Robbins had been keeping an eye on her the whole time. Due to the distance, he could only see them engaged in conversation. It wasn't until he got closer that he noticed Steve and Ruby were holding hands.
Mr. Robbins calmly glanced over at Ruby and Steve's hands, then looked at Ruby's expression. It was not as aloof as when she greeted him earlier, and her tone was much friendlier: "Ms. Gregory, I didn't expect to see you here."
Ruby saw Mr. Robbins' expression and a hint of joy crept into her heart. She knew that he had been deceived by the illusion she had created.
Ruby politely stood up, smiled, and extended her hand to Mr. Robbins: "Mr. Robbins."
Mr. Robbins quickly shook hands with Ruby, then turned his attention to Steve.
He had come specifically for Steve.
In the capital city, no businessman would pass up the opportunity to forge a connection with Steve Burton.
