When Ruby Gregory arrived at the company, it was just half past eight, and the whole company was empty with only a few employees around.
At nine o'clock, the company building gradually became lively, and by the normal starting time of nine-thirty, all the employees in the secretarial office had arrived.
Steve Burton didn't arrive at the company until ten o'clock. When he stepped into the office, Ruby's attention turned to the landline phone in front of her. However, she waited for a long time, and the phone on the table didn't make a sound, until finally, Ms. Taylor's phone rang.
Ruby clearly heard Ms. Taylor shout: "Mr. Burton."
Then she hung up the phone, picked up a document similar to an itinerary from the table, and walked into Steve Burton's office.
Ruby just felt as if a basin of cold water had been poured over her head, and her whole body became a bit cold.
