The other two were Olivia Foster and Maya Mitchell.
Maya Mitchell was Ruby Gregory’s college classmate. Maya came from a humble family, and Ruby had helped her pay for a year of tuition fees. Maya’s academic performance was outstanding, and she got a job at Pristine’s Enterprises before graduating from college.
Olivia Foster, on the other hand, was an old rival of Ruby’s.
Olivia was an illegitimate daughter of the Fosters and only claimed her heritage at the age of ten.
It was also that year when Ruby met Olivia.
Olivia and Ruby were of the same age and graduated from the same schools, from junior high to high school, and then to college.
Ruby knew that the reason she and Olivia attended the same schools was not due to fate but because many people wanted to get closer to Steve Burton. Just like when the Gregorys worked hard behind the scenes to ensure she attended the same school as Steve, Ruby also studied late into the night.
That was why Olivia was her old rival.
Because they both wanted to marry Steve Burton.
For Ruby, it was a mission that she carried from birth. Olivia, on the other hand, hoped to cleanse her reputation as an illegitimate child and gain respect within the Fosters.
Thus, the two of them competed openly and covertly in school for Steve’s attention.
At that time, Ruby was close to Steve and his brothers, so she always had the upper hand in the competition with Olivia.
Both the Fosters and the Gregorys depended on Pristine’s Enterprises for their livelihood.
However, in recent years, the Fosters had been faring much better than the Gregorys.
Olivia’s older cousin married Steve’s fourth cousin, and this connection alone allowed the Fosters to snatch many clients from the Gregorys.
When Ruby saw Olivia’s name in Steve’s secretary department that morning, she realized that some people had been quicker in seizing opportunities.
Now that she and Olivia, two incompatible people, met again, Ruby knew that no matter how many advantages Olivia had gained over her in the past three years, she could only win, not lose!
The day after reporting for work, Ruby officially started working at Pristine’s Enterprises.
As a newcomer, Ruby was hardly assigned any tasks, only occasionally helping other secretaries and assistants print or photocopy documents.
An entire morning passed without Ruby seeing Steve. At first, she thought he had arrived at the office early and stayed in his office, so she didn’t leave her seat during the lunch break. Even when work resumed at 2 p.m., the door to Steve’s office remained closed.
In the afternoon, the other employees were still very busy, and Ruby made several trips between the printing room and the office.
By the time work ended in the evening, Steve still hadn’t appeared before Ruby.
Three days passed in the blink of an eye since Ruby started working at Pristine’s Enterprises.
In those three days, Ruby learned many things, such as the most important news: when Steve went to external banquets and events and needed a secretary, he almost always took Olivia with him.
And during these three days, Ruby had yet to see Steve in person..
