Chapter 215: 215: Mysterious Female Lead (9)

No one knew that when she watched Olivia Foster and Steve Burton dance gracefully on the brightly lit stage, she was filled with envy deep within her heart.

Even though she knew that Steve had chosen to dance with Olivia at the celebration ceremony to protect Ruby, she couldn’t help but imagine the possibility of dancing the opening dance with him in such a grand setting, willingly becoming a scapegoat.

Dance was something that needed to be nurtured from a young age, yet growing up in poverty, she didn’t have the same access to education as Ruby and Olivia. It wasn’t until she had a stable job at Pristine’s Enterprises that she started silently catching up with them.

Only she knew the hardships she had endured.

Countless nights, she practiced basic dance moves at home to music, hoping to become as flexible as them. She even sprained her ankle and hurt her back, which made her unable to sleep at night. She would go to the hospital alone and grit her teeth, enduring the pain no matter how unbearable it was the next day, always managing to put on a brave face as a seemingly ordinary secretary at work.

She put in so much effort to get close to Steve, but his eyes never fell on her. She would always remain far behind him, watching as his beautiful companions came and went, never getting a taste of that happiness, even if it was only fleeting.

Tonight, everyone was excited and overjoyed for Pristine’s Enterprises 60th anniversary celebration, but she was the only one feeling downhearted, sad, and heartbroken.

Now, having told the secret she knew to Olivia, her face, once filled with arrogance and pride at the prospect of dancing with Steve, was now replaced with anger.

And what about Ruby Gregory?

Maya Mitchell stood in the midst of the banquet, casting her gaze on Ruby Gregory, who was talking incessantly to Madeleine about something. Perhaps it was a funny story, as Ruby’s face lit up with a beautiful and charming smile.

Maya slightly raised her chin, thinking, “Ruby Gregory, no matter how brilliant and beautiful you are now, Olivia’s impulsive temper will break through your facade in no more than 24 hours!”
