When Ruby Gregory heard this, she couldn’t help but pinch the chopsticks tightly with her fingertips.
Creating the Eco Park for Pristine’s Enterprises involved not only their own company but also working with many others. Her father had subtly mentioned that he had a concept for the Eco Park, as if hinting to Steve Burton that if
Pristine’s Enterprises looked for a design company, they could consider The Gregorys.
Back in the day, The Gregorys were first-rate in their design work, but their business had worsened over the years, losing talented employees and falling short of even a second-rate company.
The Eco Park that Pristine’s Enterprises was planning was definitely a high-end project, so a company like The Gregorys was unlikely to be within the considerations for collaboration.
Her father had only spoken this way, believing that she and Steve shared a close relationship.
However, deep down, her father didn’t know that Steve now only harbored disgust towards her.

However, she didn’t want her father, a senior to Steve, to lose face in front of him.
Instead of waiting for Steve to refuse her father’s request, she tried to save some face for her family by speaking up before him, “Dad, can we stop talking about work when we’re at home? Mom and I can’t join in the conversation.”
Maxwell Gregory thought that Ruby was just annoyed by him talking too long with Steve, disrupting their time together. He immediately smiled and said, “Alright, alright, no more talk about work. If it makes you unhappy, I won’t bother you two anymore. After a tiring day, I’ll go take a bath first.”
With that, Maxwell Gregory stood up, and Lady Gregory followed suit, accompanying him as they left the dining room..
