The balcony was still very quiet, the sound of Ruby Gregory’s high heels echoing crisply.

Ruby Gregory stared straight ahead, never took a look at Edric Reat. Until she was about to pass him, he suddenly spoke, calling her name: “Ruby.”

Ruby Gregory’s body stiffened slightly, subconsciously glanced into the banquet hall, found no one noticed her and Edric Reat, and then quickened her pace.

But the moment she stepped off the balcony, he suddenly raised his hand, blocking her way.

Ruby Gregory looked at the arm Edric Reat stretched out in front of her, took a deep breath, then turned her head, looked at him: “Mr. Reat, do not forget, after that one thing, we agreed to act as strangers.”

As Ruby mentioned “that one thing”, her complexion paled slightly, as if she was referring to something that made her feel extremely guilty.

She looked at him, still appearing indifferent, feeling a bit anxious deep within: “Steve Burton is also at the party, I can’t let him find out about that incident three years ago.”

At the end of her statement, Ruby’s voice trembled slightly, resembling fear, and sounded as if pleading.

She looked into Edric Reat’s eyes, which began to exhibit a hint of confusion.

Edric Reat didn’t say a word, just looked at her in silence for a moment, ran his fingers tightly over his lips, but in the end, he didn’t say anything, he slowly lowered his arm.

Ruby Gregory quickly walked past him without any hesitation. Despite the pace of walking, her speed was more like a jog.

Just a blink of an eye, Ruby Gregory disappeared into the crowd of the banquet hall.

Edric Reat, however, maintained the same posture from when Ruby departed, standing at the entrance of the balcony, dazed. After a long while, he came back to his senses, stepped to the spot where Ruby had just stood, and stared in the direction she had been looking at.

It was a crowd, prettily lit.

Edric Reat looked on for a long time, then reached into his pocket, pulled out a cigarette, lit it, and slowly smoked it.

Ruby Gregory virtually ran into the crowd, she clenched her fists tightly, took several deep breaths, until she calmed herself slightly. Then she walked up to a waiter and grabbed a juice from his tray, took a big gulp, and only then did her heart rate settle down.

Just as Ruby Gregory was about to place the glass back onto the tray, she heard a familiar voice behind her: “Ruby.”

Ruby Gregory turned around to see Maya Mitchell in a beautiful red dress, smiling warmly at her.

“Maya.” Ruby Gregory called Maya Mitchell’s name, then picked up a glass of alcohol and clinked glasses with Maya Mitchell. They both took a sip, then Ruby asked, “Maya, I heard from Ms. Taylor that you resigned from Pristine’s Enterprises. Why?”
