Upon hearing Ruby Gregory say for the third time that she wanted to leave, the smile on Steve Burton's face disappeared completely.
Ruby clearly felt that the atmosphere around Steve Burton had become chillingly cold.
Her intuition as a woman told her that she was really in great danger at this moment, and she hurriedly stood up, trying to free her hand from Steve's.
Steve, who had been holding her hand, suddenly released it when he felt her struggle, grabbed a bowl with some soup left in it from beside him, and furiously threw it at the wall.
The bowl shattered upon impact, splattering soup everywhere, leaving wet marks along the previously pristine white walls.
As everyone at the table had had alcohol, their ability to observe was somewhat dulled, and although Steve was unhappy, he covered it up quite quickly.
No one at the table noticed anything amiss.
But now that Steve had suddenly smashed the bowl, the atmosphere in the room became instantly still.
