Some doubts are as enigmatic as ancient mysteries, such as Ruby Gregory’s inability to decipher Steve Burton’s contrasting actions, and what they are hiding behind.
Such puzzles occur in everyone’s life. The answer is often simple: deep love, these two plain words.
But, what is deep love?
Deep love is a maze of illusions, love is confusing for the involved yet clear for the observer.
So, although Ruby racked her brains, she never considered that Steve loved her, or perhaps, she was too afraid to venture into that territory.
In recent years, smartphones have become increasingly popular due to their portability. This has led to the rise of free chatting apps like WhatsApp, which are gradually replacing traditional text messaging.
Madeleine created a WhatsApp group, which included not only Steve Burton, Howard Coleman, Edward Woods, and Russell Henris, but also some of their close classmates and friends.
When Madeleine added Ruby to the group, she was surprised to see that Steve and his friends also had WhatsApp accounts.
Due to Steve’s presence, Ruby rarely participated in the group’s discussions. However, in her free time, she liked to keep an eye on the message dynamics in the group.
The ones who chatted the most in the group were Madeleine, Howard, Edward, and Russell, while Steve barely participated.
After the press conference of Pristine’s Enterprises ended, everyone finally had some leisure time.
As they didn’t have work till the next day and Red Park Resort & Villas was meant for relaxation, Howard started to pull people into playing cards in the group’s afternoon discussions. Howard tagged Steve, who surprisingly responded with a message saying: “Planning to take a hot spring bath.”
Lying on her bed at the hotel, Ruby was originally planning to take a nap. But after seeing the message, she recalled the injury on Steve’s hand, and her drowsiness faded away.
The ceramic piece had cut quite deep. When the doctor at Red Park Health Center bandaged him, he reminded Steve not to get his hand wet.
And yet, he was going to take a hot spring bath… wouldn’t his hand get inflamed if it gets wet?
Ruby held her phone, staring at Steve’s message. She hesitated for a while before finally putting down her phone and closing her eyes.
After a while, she sat up restlessly. She picked up her phone and looked at it for a while, bit her lip, and hesitated whether or not to directly message Steve in the group. Eventually, she clicked his icon.
She and Steve were not friends on WhatsApp. To send him a message, she needed to add him as a friend first.
Ruby hesitated for a moment before finally clicking ‘add’. Then she attached a message: “The doctor said your hand should not get wet these days. Perhaps you should not take a hot spring bath..”
