Chapter 556: Chapter 556: Not Disturbing, That’s My Tenderness (10)

When she saw that message, she couldn’t quite describe how she felt deep inside.

Gregory’s Enterprises was truly saved by acquiring Pristine’s Enterprises, as was the wealth and glory that Maxwell Gregory desired.

All of this closely resembled what the Gregorys had once hoped for.

The only difference was that she hadn’t married Steve Burton. ƒrēewebnoѵёl.cσm

She and Steve, now total strangers.

–

Maya Mitchell had been paying close attention to Steve’s movements lately. Since the last dinner party, she had heard from others that Steve had been frequenting the Gardenia Clubhouse to entertain clients over the past two or three days.

Gardenia Clubhouse was the place she had chosen to invite Steve for coffee after the dinner party that time. When they had reached the entrance, he had turned and left, puzzling her for a long time. Nowadays, she heard that he was going to the Gardenia Clubhouse almost every day, making her more confused and curious.

So, Maya found some time to visit the Gardenia Clubhouse, firstly, hoping to have a chance encounter with Steve, and secondly, to find out why he went there.

–

The reason Ruby Gregory chose to work at the Gardenia Clubhouse was that she knew that the Gregorys and those from Pristine’s Enterprises rarely visited this place.

As she wished, she had worked there for more than half a month and had never come across a familiar face. However, today, she encountered one.

Ruby’s working hours were from two in the afternoon until nine at night, with a two-hour break for dinner.

It was after dinner when she went to the restroom that she met Maya.

At that time, Maya had just arrived at the Gardenia Clubhouse. She had had a lot of alcohol during lunch and hadn’t completely sobered up. Upon arriving at the Clubhouse, she was pressured by an old lecher from the Tax Bureau to drink three large glasses of liquor. Feeling like her insides were burning, she couldn’t help but find an excuse to go to the restroom.

Ruby heard vomiting sounds coming from the adjacent stall when she was in the restroom. After flushing the toilet and stepping out, someone else stood next to her at the sink. Before turning on the faucet, the person bent over and vomited again.

Ruby took a casual glance, furrowing her brows. The vomiting person seemed to notice she was looking at her and raised her head, and then their gazes met.

If there was one person Maya didn’t want to see at the Gardenia Clubhouse, it would undoubtedly be Ruby Gregory.

However, the person standing in front of her now was none other than Ruby herself.

In that instant, she understood the true reason why Steve had been coming to this place every day lately.

Most of the time, people couldn’t know what others were thinking deep inside. However, one could always perceive the warmth and coldness of human emotions.

Ruby and Steve had called off their engagement, and Maya would certainly know about it. However, during this past month, besides Madeleine sending her a message, Maya had never contacted her at all.

Although at one point she did consider Maya as a friend, after a month of no contact, Ruby felt only estrangement when she saw her again. Nevertheless, she greeted Maya politely: “What a coincidence, Maya.”
