Ruby Gregory took out the note, which was written by Steve Burton in a flamboyant style: Out of town, Bolivia.

Ever since Steve handed over the task of managing his office to Ruby, she had become intimately familiar with his schedule.

In Ruby’s memory, everything in the Bolivia branch seemed to be running smoothly, and Steve hadn’t shown any intention of going on a business trip recently.

Today is the weekend, why did he suddenly go to Bolivia?

Ruby tilted her head and thought for a moment, assuming that there had been some kind of emergency at the Bolivia branch, causing Steve to rush over for a business trip.

With Steve not in Ciawell, Ruby seemed even more relaxed. They say one’s spirits lift when something good happens, and for Ruby, her greatest wish in life had been fulfilled, so she really was feeling refreshed.

On Sunday, she accompanied Lady Gregory to the city for a spa treatment and then they went shopping together.

As Ruby accompanied Lady Gregory in selecting a suit for Maxwell Gregory, she happened to see a limited edition tie. The tie was exquisitely made and had a classic color. Ruby gazed at the happy expression on her mother’s face as she selected the suit for her father, and she felt a slight pang of envy. She gestured to the tie and asked the salesperson to show it to her.

Lady Gregory happened to have decided on Maxwell’s suit style and turned to see the tie in Ruby’s hand: “Buying it for Steve?”

Ruby’s face turned slightly red and asked the salesperson, “How much?”

The salesperson quoted the price.

For the Ruby of the past, she would have found the price somewhat expensive, but not unaffordable. However, for the current Gregorys, Ruby seemed hesitant, and still returned the tie, “Let’s look around some more.”

Lady Gregory naturally knew what Ruby was thinking. She smiled and stretched out her hand to take the tie from the salesperson, then handed it to the cashier along with the suit she had just chosen, saying, “Check out both for me.”

“Mom.” Ruby’s tone was slightly anxious.

Lady Gregory smiled at her, took out her bank card, paid the bill, and said after leaving the store, “Ruby, although it’s natural for a man to give gifts to a woman, occasionally a woman also needs to buy something for a man to make him happy. The price of this tie is a bit expensive, but with you marrying Steve, the Gregorys’ business will only get better and better.”

With that, Lady Gregory handed the gift bag containing the tie to Ruby.

Ruby hesitated for a moment, then reached out and took it, “Thank you, Mom.”

Not sure if it was because she hadn’t seen Steve for two days, but Ruby felt a bit anxious deep down. As a result, she couldn’t sleep past six o’clock on Monday morning, and an urge to hurry to work at the company rose in her heart.

Ruby tossed and turned in bed, finally making it to seven o’clock before she could endure it no longer and got up. She quickly washed and dressed, changing clothes several times in the dressing room before she was barely satisfied.

Before going downstairs for breakfast, Ruby eventually sat back down in front of her vanity and applied some delicate makeup to her face. She looked at her bright eyes and pearly white teeth in the mirror and finally felt completely satisfied.

Ruby hurriedly ate breakfast, then grabbed the weekend gift she had picked out for Steve and rushed to her car to drive to the company.
