Chapter 103 - 103: 103 She doesn’t love me (11)

Only then did Steve remember that he was having dinner tonight, and Ms. Annie Beischel was a foreign client who had always been entertained by Olivia Foster.

Olivia, who had been slapped twice by Ruby Gregory, and her face was swollen and red, naturally could not attend.

Among the young women in the office there were only three: Ruby Gregory, Maya Mitchell, and Olivia Foster.

With Olivia ruled out, Maya and Ruby were the only ones left.

Ruby, being new, wasn’t particularly familiar with Ms. Annie.

Therefore, the most suitable candidate could only be Maya.

Ms. Taylor, noticing that Mr. Burton hadn’t responded for a while, thought it over, and then gently suggested, “The last time Olivia was sick, Maya filled in for her and entertained Ms. Annie. She’s quite familiar with Ms. Annie, so why not let Maya accompany you this time?”

Maya, seemingly focused on her computer screen, was actually listening carefully to the conversation between Ms. Taylor and Mr. Burton.

She had performed very well at the afternoon meeting, and moreover, she had swiftly solved a problem when Olivia Foster had almost been unable to turn in her material. Steve must be very pleased with her work performance.

Furthermore, since Ruby Gregory had slapped Olivia, and Mr. Burton was always fair to his employees, he would surely agree to have her accompany him to the dinner tonight.

A faint smile began to appear at the corners of Maya’s lips.

After hearing Ms. Taylor’s words, Steve didn’t show much emotion on his face.

He simply picked up his pen and signed his name on the document that Ms. Taylor needed his approval for.

Ms. Taylor assumed that Steve had accepted her suggestion, and was about to instruct Maya to get ready and accompany Steve to the dinner. However, as Steve put down his pen, he paused slightly, then turned his head, glanced at Ruby who seemed engrossed with her computer screen, and said in a slightly chilly voice, “Let Ruby go with me.”

The words “Maya” that were about to come out of Ms. Taylor’s mouth got stuck in her throat instantly.

The smile on Maya’s lips froze instantly.

By the time Ms. Taylor regained her composure, Steve had already left his office.

Experience came with age. Although Ms. Taylor was puzzled as to why Steve had chosen Ruby, who knew nothing about Ms. Annie, she quickly regained her composure and said with the usual bureaucratic tone, “Ruby, tonight you will accompany Mr. Burton to the dinner party.”

Ruby looked at Ms. Taylor with some confusion: “Dinner? With Ms.. Annie?”
