Steve Burton glanced at Ruby Gregory’s surprised, round eyes and found it a bit amusing.
He shook hands with the cheeky Mr. Robbins only to save face, and apparently, it amazed Ruby. Was it that incredible?
But, that Mr. Robbins; was he an old client of The Gregorys?
So that means The Gregorys are maintaining a relationship with Mr. Robbins?
Ruby is also from The Gregorys. So that means Ruby is maintaining a relationship with Mr. Robbins as well?
Regardless of how he came to that reasoning, the thought of Ruby maintaining a relationship with another man made Steve Burton feel a hint of bitterness and jealousy.
What a joke! It was supposed to be the other way around – other people should be trying to please his woman! How could his woman be maintaining a relationship with someone else?
Steve Burton lowered his gaze, thought for a moment, then looked up at Mr. Robbins: “Interested in a round of golf?”
Mr. Robbins never expected Steve to invite him to play golf. His eyes twinkled with excitement: “I’d be delighted!”
Steve didn’t say anything. He simply took a golf club from a caddy, casually swung it a few times, walked up to the tee, and gracefully struck the ball. The ball followed a perfect arc in the air, landing effortlessly in the hole.
Mr. Robbins immediately raised his hands to applaud, exclaiming, “Great shot! Great shot! Mr. Burton, not only are you a business prodigy, but your golf skills are also simply out of reach for the rest of us.”
Steve wore an indifferent expression when accepting the praise from Mr.
Robbins, then stepped aside to let him have a try at golf.
Mr. Robbins wanted to impress Steve; he pretended to concentrate on the game. However, he deliberately held back his strength when swinging the club. The ball didn’t have enough momentum, only flying halfway before landing on the ground.
Heh…fake humans!
Steve mocked him silently and looked at Ruby standing nearby. He knew his current actions weren’t enough to boost Ruby’s reputation in front of Mr. Robbins.
Steve waved at Ruby and handed her his golf club, saying, “Give it a try.”
Ruby smiled and took the golf club from Steve, aiming at the distant red flag and swinging the club.
Ruby’s golf skills were taught by Steve.
Steve was a top-notch golfer; although his apprentice Ruby hadn’t surpassed him, she was an above-average player. The ball landed near the hole, rolled around twice, and then fell in.
Unclear about Steve’s attitude towards Ruby, Mr. Robbins instinctively looked at him.
Steve stared at Ruby and, mimicking Mr.. Robbins’ earlier actions, clapped a few times and praised earnestly, “Nice shot!”
