Chapter 789: Chapter 789: The Most Romantic Proposal (19)
Maya Mitchell really did not expect that the first thing out of Steve Burton’s mouth would be those words, causing her expression to become slightly flustered.
Steve Burton didn’t bother paying attention to her demeanor. Hand in his pocket, fumbling with a small box inside, he continued to speak somewhat haphazardly. However, his topics seemed to jump quite a bit: “Maya Mitchell, you’ve been at Gregory’s Enterprises for over half a year now, haven’t you? During that time, you’ve secured seventeen major projects, earning a total profit of 480 million, haven’t you?”
At this point, Steve Burton’s long eyelashes drooped slightly, casting an attractive shadow over his eye sockets: “In this half year, the total profit of Gregory’s Enterprises was only 600 million, so by that calculation, you really are an impressive employee for keeping Gregory’s Enterprises going with almost 70 percent of the company’s performance.”
“Your first achievement at Gregory’s Enterprises was for Mr. Hudson, right? Mr. Hudson is old enough to be your father, isn’t he? And you slept with him for a whole half month, didn’t you?” Steve Burton, still with his eyes downcast, cracked a slight smirk.
Steve Burton did not even bother to lift his gaze to observe Maya’s reaction, simply continuing his narrative at a steady pace: “The second was Mr. Madris, then came Mr. Doxon, followed by Mr. Woods, Mr. Lister… The most recent one you slept with was Mr. Leighton.”
Maya looked a bit stunned. How did Steve know about all these things in such detail?

Although Steve Burton didn’t look at Maya, he seemed to know her inner doubts, and continued to speak as casually as if discussing something of no consequence: “Did you hear about all these cases that I showed interest in from Gregory’s high-level executives, and that’s why you went all out to secure them, correct?”
Somewhere in the back of Maya’s mind, a dark premonition began to surface. She stared at the man before her, who still had his eyes cast down and maintained his composure, as he continued speaking in a light tone: “Those whispers, I had them leaked to you.”
Maya’s eyes suddenly started to fracture.
Steve Burton maintained his downcast gaze, his lips curling into a chilling smirk: “Maya Mitchell, haven’t you noticed these men all share a common trait? They’re all perverts, and some have quite abnormal tendencies.”
Maya’s face turned as white as snow, her eyes wide as she stared at Steve, uttering in a stammer: “So, when you lured me to Gregory’s Enterprises, praised me…you had hidden intentions, you had planned everything from the start, you’re playing me?”
Steve Burton didn’t bother answering Maya, not even glancing at her. He simply continued: “And afterwards, you often got cornered and beaten by these executives’ wives. Actually, I leaked those rumors myself. Including when Mr. Leighton’s wife caught you in bed together, I had someone call her.”
“And one thing of utmost importance, all this time I’ve been blocking your information. While it’s true that Pristine’s Enterprises acquired Gregory’s Enterprises, even before you joined, I already transferred it under Ruby Gregory’s name. So, all this money you’ve been strenuously earning over the past half a year, all the partnership cases you pulled in, they were not for me, Steve Burton, but for Ruby Gregory.”
After saying all this, Steve Burton slowly looked up, gazing at Maya’s pale face, and asked softly: “Now, Maya Mitchell, do you still want to keep loving me?”
