Ruby Gregory looked at Steve Burton with doubt, only to find that he was staring at Olivia Foster.
Olivia Foster truly didn’t expect Steve Burton to take the initiative to speak to her; she unconsciously responded with a soft “Uh-huh.”
Without any impatience, Steve Burton continued to ask, “Leony, do you know her?”
It was only then that Olivia Foster came to her senses; he was really talking to her… Her eyes, moist from crying, gazed deep into Steve Burton’s eyes, blinking gently. It was as if the warmth, life, and rhythm gradually began to return to a place deep within her soul that had been left cold and indifferent.
Just a moment ago, she had cried because of him, but now a single sentence he took the initiative to say to her had filled her with joy.
She truly felt a little self-defeated, but who could blame her for genuinely liking him, liking him to the point of being spineless?
Though she didn’t know when Charlotte Madris had come to know Steve Burton, she still keenly realized that what Steve Burton said was “Leony.”
His voice was pleasant, filled with a lingering charm, giving Olivia Foster the subconscious impression that Steve Burton and Leony must have a deep relationship.
In reality, Olivia Foster’s relationship with Charlotte Madris wasn’t that great.
Because the Fosters’ business was larger than the Madris’, deep down, Olivia Foster somewhat looked down on Charlotte Madris.
Nonetheless, because of Steve Burton’s close relationship with Charlotte Madris, Olivia Foster spoke up, “You mean Charlotte? I am very close friends with her.”
Steve Burton seemed to understand something, “Ah, no wonder she brought
you up to me.”
This statement made Olivia Foster even more certain that there must be an extraordinary connection between Charlotte Madris and Steve Burton. Despite the jealousy welling in her heart, wanting Steve Burton to have a better impression of her, everything she said was full of praise for Charlotte Madris, “Charlotte and I are great friends, we often go shopping and have afternoon tea together. ”
“So you two are best friends?” Steve Burton slightly shifted his body, changing his sitting position.
Olivia Foster nodded, smiling without any reservation.
Following suit, Steve Burton gave a knowing nod, furrowed his brow, and pondered for a moment before continuing to ask, “So, does that mean if she encountered any danger, you’d stand up without hesitation to help her resolve
Without any hesitation, Olivia Foster answered, “Of course.”
Steve Burton did not speak again, just turned his gaze to his mother.
The conversation he just had with Olivia Foster seemed to have no connection to the topic they were discussing earlier.
However, he knew that his mother understood what he wanted to express.
His mother had suspected that Charlotte Madris was the woman on the observation deck. After having an unhappy encounter with Ruby Gregory, it was only then that Olivia Foster started insisting that Ruby was the woman on the observation deck..
