Ruby Gregory struggled inwardly for a moment, then finally decided to give it a try and tentatively asked, "Mrs. Taylor, how did you know that he doesn't want me to leave?"
At Ruby's question, surprise flashed in Mrs. Taylor's eyes. "Ms. Gregory, you've been close to Mr. Steve for so many years. Can't you see this yourself?"
Ruby didn't know how to respond to Mrs. Taylor's question. A faint blush spread across her face as she looked at Mrs. Taylor, lips tightly pressed together, and remained silent.
Mrs. Taylor's eyes widened with deeper shock. "Ms. Gregory, didn't you notice anything off about Mr. Steve just now?"
Ruby furrowed her brow and tilted her head, recalling her conversation with Steve Burton when she just came downstairs. Shaking her head gently, she replied, "No, I didn't."
Seeing Ruby's reaction, Mrs. Taylor became increasingly anxious. "Seriously, you didn't notice anything strange?"
