The Gregorys always told her to accommodate Steve Burton.
So, she had always tried her best to accommodate him.
But, no one has ever asked about her feelings, her grievances.
Ruby Gregory closed her eyes, turned around, and faced away from Lady Gregory.
Lady Gregory saw the broken glass on the floor, took a broom to clean it up, and noticed faint traces of blood. She frowned slightly, “Ruby, why is there blood here? Who got hurt?”
Ruby Gregory turned her head and saw dried, dark red blood staining the glass shards that Lady Gregory had picked up.
It was Steve Burton’s; he had just crushed the glass in his hand.
Ruby Gregory’s hand subconsciously tightened.
Ruby Gregory wasn’t seriously injured, so she left the hospital early the next day and went straight back to the Gregorys’ house.
Her swollen purple forehead looked terrifying. Naturally, she couldn’t go out and see people like this, so Ruby Gregory happily got a half-month vacation as she wished.
The first three days, the swelling was quite severe, but after that, it receded rapidly day by day. Then, the purple color gradually turned yellow, a sign of the bruise healing.
About ten days later, the bruise on Ruby Gregory’s forehead had faded significantly. With a little makeup, she looked as normal as ever.
It was already the 8th of the month, and there were still two days left until the
10th.
During these ten days, Steve Burton didn’t even call Ruby Gregory, let alone visit her at the Gregorys’ house.
Madeleine flew into Ciawell on the morning of the 8th and went straight back to the company to report her business trip to Steve Burton.
After her report, Steve Burton indifferently commented and then casually mentioned, “When Ruby Gregory was injured last time, you were on a business trip abroad, so I had to ask you to call the Gregorys.”
Due to her recent busyness, Madeleine had already forgotten about this incident. It only came back to her when Steve Burton suddenly mentioned it, that ten days ago, Steve Burton called her to say that Ruby Gregory was injured and in the hospital, and asked her to inform the Gregorys.
After Steve Burton finished speaking, he hung up the phone before she could react.
Madeleine didn’t know the severity of Ruby Gregory’s injury, so she hurriedly called the Gregorys.
Now, upon hearing his words, she realized what had happened. She glanced through the glass window and saw that Ruby’s seat was empty, so she asked, “Ruby hasn’t returned to work yet?”
“Yes,” Steve Burton replied indifferently.
“How is she doing now?”
Steve Burton just stared at the files on his desk, not saying a word.
Madeleine could tell from his expression that Steve Burton didn’t know Ruby Gregory’s situation and only then did she realize why he had mentioned the incident of her calling Ruby Gregory after the business meeting..
