Steve Burton’s calm voice floated into Rusell Henris’ heart. Yet, in that instant, he felt that Steve’s words were more heart-stirring than Howard Coleman singing Yoga Lin’s “Cruel Moonlight” with passion and immersion.
Rusell was momentarily at a loss for words.
Steve slowly shifted his gaze from his face back to the big screen in front of him.
On the grand stage, Yoga Lin held the microphone, eyes closed, singing every word of the lyrics clearly.
“I’ve been wandering, but I’ve never seen the ocean. What I thought was forgotten, is actually lying in your hands.”
Three years ago, in a fit of anger, he slept with Ruby Gregory, and abandoned her. He thought everything would end like that, but he found that the longing started to flood his mind the moment he learned that she had gone to Costa
Luna.
Three years later, he could never forget that afternoon. At that time, he had just taken over Pristine’s Enterprises for a short while. He wanted to break free from the aura of Pristine’s Enterprises hanging over him, so that people would not think he was relying on Pristine’s Enterprises to shine.

Then, the office door was pushed open by Madeleine, who had red eyes and held a document, needing his signature. She looked at him with a bit of reproach in her eyes.
Maybe today, because he finally managed to deter Pristine’s diehard followers with his own strength, his mood that had been upset by Ruby for a whole month improved slightly. Unusually, while signing the document for
Madeleine, he looked at her tear-filled eyes and asked, “What happened?”
Madeleine pursed her lips, staring at his face for a while before saying, “Brother, half an hour ago, Ruby left for Costa Luna. Her return date is undecided.”
That sentence, like a violent thunderbolt, exploded in his mind, almost breaking his composure into pieces. He tried to steady his mind, maintaining a detached and cold demeanor, and replied nonchalantly, “Oh.”
Madeleine angrily picked up the document and walked out of the office, but he had no mood to enjoy his first great victory at Pristine’s Enterprises.
In his mind, there were only four words – return date undecided..
