Ruby Gregory softly moved her head and saw that Steve Burton’s clothes, although a bit messy, were still properly worn on his body.
As for her, she was completely naked and as embarrassed as could be.
From the depths of Ruby’s dark eyes, a blush arose. She quickly lowered her eyelids and forcefully turned her wrist to free herself. Then, she unfastened her torn clothes.
Although the clothes had been torn apart by Steve, she managed to barely cover herself up with them.
But deep down, Ruby was slightly worried about how she would leave the hotel without any clothes to wear now.
Steve’s mind was a bit dazed and it took him a while to come back to his senses. His gaze fell upon Ruby curled up on the floor, covering herself with tattered clothes.
Her exposed skin was covered with green-and-purple bruises, some left by him yesterday, with today’s darkening colors making them even more apparent.
Her head hung low, he couldn’t see her expression, only her delicate straight nose.
Her hands tightly grasped the clothes. Although she seemed calm, he still noticed her fingertips trembling slightly.
She was always like this, maintaining her silence regardless of how he treated her.
Even if she was unwilling deep down.
It was her seemingly submissive and compliant demeanor that provoked him into losing control.
Steve stared at Ruby for a while before withdrawing his gaze. He picked up the suit jacket hanging on a nearby clothes hanger, felt for the phone inside the pocket, but didn’t take it out. Instead, he put the suit on and left the private room directly.
It was only when he stood in the corridor that Steve took out his phone and called Madeleine.
There were some things he didn’t want to do in front of her.
After hanging up the phone, Steve stood at the door of the private room for a few seconds. In the end, he called a female waitress over and took out a wad of red bills from his pocket to hand to her, saying: “Keep an eye on this door. Don’t let anyone in until Ms. Madeleine arrives.”
Steve Burton, Madeleine, Edward Woods, Howard Coleman, and Rusell Henris were all regulars at the Hilton Grand Hotel, and the staff there recognized them.
So when Steve mentioned Ms. Madeleine, the waitress immediately knew he was talking about Madeleine.
The waitress took the money and nodded properly in agreement.
The moment the private room door closed, Ruby looked up to see that she was the only one left in the empty room. She curled her body even tighter.
He just left her like that and walked away?
Ruby pressed her lips hard and struggled to get up from the floor. She picked up her phone, about to call Madeleine when an incoming call from Madeleine appeared on her phone screen..
