Chapter 604: Chapter 604: Sweet and Warm Heating Up (8)
 

Steve Burton searched for “the mother of the twins” on Twitter but was prompted to register an account. Annoyed, he quickly typed in his phone number and registered. When choosing a username, Steve typed in “Time,” but hesitated when confirming and added “Ruby’s Time.”

There weren’t many updates on Ruby Gregory’s Twitter account, mostly sharing food and mood. Nevertheless, Steve read through her entire account without skipping a single character.

After seeing Ruby yesterday, Steve went to work the next day and got some good news.

This good news was delivered by Edward Woods.

Steve didn’t attend yesterday’s regular meeting as he was waiting for Ruby’s class. Edward presided over the meeting on his behalf. Edward brought the meeting minutes and asked casually before leaving, “By the way, did you hear about the good news?”

Steve was flipping through the minutes, not even bothering to lift his eyelids, “What news?”

“Gregory’s Enterprises secured a big collaboration yesterday, and it’s a long-term partnership that lasts for a whole year. The collaborator is Mr. Hudson from Golas Group. He’s famous for being stingy in the business circle, but agreed to a profit-sharing deal with Gregory’s Enterprises this time.” Edward finished and asked mysteriously, “Do you know who secured this collaboration?”

Steve never cared for guessing games and didn’t respond to Edward, continuing to stare at the documents in his hand.

Edward’s tone was excited, “It’s Maya Mitchell.”

Steve’s fingers trembled with the documents as he started paying attention to what Edward said next, “I’ve heard that Mr. Hudson is not only stingy but also a big womanizer. Maya, in order to secure this business deal, went as far as sleeping with him. Rumor has it that she spent half a month in bed with him before finally securing the deal. Honestly, I think Maya is quite beautiful. She used to be a quiet and gentle secretary, just like a little bunny, pretty lovable. But why would she be so ruthless to herself? You know, Mr. Hudson looks old enough to be her dad… She’s really fighting tooth and nail for her performance. I’m not even sure what she’s after. Money? She could’ve married a rich man with her looks.”

Steve didn’t pay attention to the rest of Edward’s rant, only staring at the documents in his hands for a while before a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

Yeah, Maya Mitchell was even more ruthless to herself than he had imagined. He had only asked the general manager of Gregory’s Enterprises to hint to her that he was interested in Mr. Hudson’s case. He didn’t expect her to try so hard to secure it, even going as far as sleeping with Hudson. As Edward said, she really fought tooth and nail.

But since he set the trap and she fell into it, there was no reason not to let her sink deeper.

After Edward left, Steve put down the documents, picked up his phone, and called Maya.

The phone was picked up after just one ring.
