During each toast, Steve Burton didn’t drink much, but going through so many toasts with so many people made him somewhat tipsy.
He didn’t eat much dinner, so his stomach was now quite uncomfortable. Steve went to the bathroom to throw up, but couldn’t do it. Instead, he tried to compose himself in the relatively quiet bathroom. As he prepared to leave the men’s room, he overheard a few women talking outside.
“Do you know Ruby Gregory? The young lady from the Gregory family?”
When Steve heard Ruby’s name, he paused for a moment and leaned against the wall, listening to the conversation outside.
“I have some gossip for you guys, which happened tonight.”
“What kind of gossip?”
“It’s about her and Steve Burton.”
“Aren’t they on good terms?”
“Let’s not talk about their relationship for now. Let’s first discuss what you think of Ruby as a person.”
“She’s beautiful and graceful. She’s quite nice.”
“Pfft. That’s just the superficial stuff. Let me tell you a secret: the more pure and innocent these people appear to be on the surface, the more shameless and lustful they are deep down. You guys don’t know, but she actually tried to seduce Steve Burton by the terrace tonight.”
When Steve heard this, he frowned slightly. He hadn’t noticed anyone watching when he went to the terrace earlier, so how could these people be gossiping about it?
Steve leaned slightly to see a young-looking woman excitedly sharing her secret knowledge with the others: “To think a woman could be so shameless trying to entrap Steve Burton in such a public place. It’s just… unbelievable!” As she spoke, the woman shook her head, looking disdainful.
The other people wore shocked expressions, and they chimed in one after another.
“Is this for real?”
“I feel like she doesn’t seem like that kind of person!”
“What do you guys know? There are witnesses!”
“Witnesses? Oh my god, she’s really shameless, throwing herself at a man like that. ”
“I feel my worldview has been completely overturned. So these days does looking more reserved and ladylike mean that, deep down, a woman is actually more lascivious and promiscuous?”
“Shh, keep your voices down when we discuss this…”
The chatting women left the bathroom, and their voices eventually grew too soft for Steve to hear.
Leaning against the wall, Steve stood in the bathroom for quite a while before blinking and straightening up. He turned and walked out of the bathroom, washing his hands at the sink with a blank expression. He looked completely unaffected, as if the women’s gossip had nothing to do with him. But deep down, his emotions had been roiled into a storm..
