Chapter 311: 311: Blessing in Disguise (1)

Those willing to attend business dinners with Steve Burton were all well-known people in the capital city. Inevitably, there would be some familiar faces at these dinners. When they repeatedly saw Steve Burton attending various dinners with Ruby, and never asking her to show flattery like other secretaries by offering alcohol, and even if other bosses took the initiative to offer a toast to Ruby, Steve would deliberately block it, and always deliberately introduce Ruby each time. This caught the attention of a lot of people to the Gregorys.

Just because Steve introduced them, it doesn’t mean these large enterprises would work with the Gregorys immediately. Some companies didn’t have any business overlap with them. However, once people paid attention to the Gregorys, if there was any work-related intersection, they would prioritize the Gregorys. Over time, the Gregorys gradually signed a few cooperation agreements.

All these developments seemed to be heading in a good direction, but inevitably there was a hiccup along the way.

This hiccup was both a bad thing and a good thing. It was also a good thing that qualified as a good thing.

Later, when Ruby thought about it carefully, she felt that the hiccup was best described by the phrase “turn misfortune into fortune.”

It was early November on a weekend.

Ciawell had already entered the late autumn, and overnight, yellow leaves were falling all over the city.

The late autumn in Ciawell was the most beautiful Ciawell; desolate, bleak, and full of poetry.

But Ruby’s mood in such a desolate and bleak autumn scene was far from melancholy. On the contrary, she was in high spirits.

The once-fallen Gregorys had seen some improvement in their business for more than a month. Maxwell Gregory and Lady Gregory’s mood had improved significantly.

Ruby felt happy when she saw her parents in good spirits, as well as her increasingly adept relationship with Steve Burton.

All the difficulties seemed to be easily solved, and the best mood in the last few years was now.

Ruby sat on the balcony, basking in the afternoon sun, watching the red leaves, leisurely drinking tea, and enjoying this delightful time.

But this wonderful moment was interrupted by a phone call.

The call was from Maya Mitchell, inviting Ruby to go shopping at a department store in the city.

During her stay at Red Park Resort & Villas, Ruby hadn’t had a chance to thank Maya for her help. Now, when Maya asked her, Ruby agreed despite not wanting to go out.

Since it was a weekend, traffic was heavy, but entering the city was smooth. Ruby arrived at the department store Maya specified in just forty minutes.

In fact, Maya didn’t intend to invite Ruby today.

On the rare weekend, with winter approaching, she wanted to buy a thicker coat for herself. So she impulsively went shopping alone.

It wasn’t that she was particularly thoughtful, but on her way to the department store in her car, she happened to be alongside a car with no license plate number. The window of the other car was open, with two men inside, constantly looking at her.

Maya couldn’t be considered as stunningly beautiful as Ruby, but she did have some charm. Coupled with her growing ability to dress herself up over the years, getting noticed by men was a common occurrence.
