Steve Burton, who had been interrupted from his work, finally lifted his head and looked at Ruby Gregory.
"Steve, why have you been ignoring me?" Ruby asked. She suddenly realized that Steve was wearing headphones and probably couldn't hear her. So she reached out and pulled off his headphones. "This morning, you were the one who scolded me..."
Ruby hadn't mentioned this morning, and the moment she did, Steve felt a surge of heat creeping up the sides of his ears, causing his entire face to become hot.
He sprang up from his chair like a frightened animal, not even looking at Ruby, and rushed towards the door of the study.
Ruby instinctively stopped Steve.
Steve frowned and tried to go around Ruby.
Without thinking, Ruby reached out and grabbed Steve's clothes. "You've scolded me for so long, isn't that enough..."
Bringing up the morning again... A deep blush climbed up Steve's face as he interrupted Ruby: "You deserved it!"
