“Ruby went to the restroom, so I answered her phone. Coincidentally, I have a report that needs your signature, so I made a cup of coffee and brought it over.”

After saying that, Maya placed the report in front of Steve with both hands.

There was no change in Steve’s expression because of Maya’s explanation. He just glanced at her indifferently before turning his attention to the report.

Maya looked at Steve absent-mindedly scanning the report. She thought about their visit to Red Park Resort & Villas, when Steve blocked the plate Olivia threw at her. Softly, she asked, “Mr. Burton, has your hand healed?”

Steve’s face was calm, still looking at the report, he absent-mindedly nodded to Maya.

Maya stared at Steve and said, “Thank you for what happened at Red Park Resort & Villas. If it weren’t for you, I might have been the one injured.”

Maya was clever; she mentioned Steve’s hand to bring up the events at Red Park Resort & Villas.

Although she was the one secretly behind everything, at least on the surface, it appeared that her presence had saved Ruby.

Back then, her ruthless actions toward Olivia were solely to leave a good impression on Steve.

However, Steve didn’t follow Maya’s train of thought. He didn’t mention her help at the Red Park Resort & Villas. His entire demeanor remained indifferent. He barely acknowledged her with a “hm” before flipping to the last page of the report. Finding no mistakes, he signed his name in an elegant manner, closed the report, and glanced at Maya, signaling her to take the report and leave.

Maya felt disappointed as she looked into Steve’s eyes. She hesitated a moment before speaking up, “Mr. Burton, I’m sorry about what happened at Red Park Resort & Villas. I shouldn’t have told Olivia where Ruby went.”

After a short pause, Maya continued, “If I hadn’t told Olivia, there wouldn’t have been any trouble.”

Steve seemed to have forgotten about Maya’s help that day and, upon hearing her humble words, he seriously looked at her and said, “Be more careful next time.”

Maya had thought she might hear words of gratitude from Steve. She had never seen him thank anyone before. During her week of resting at home, she often wondered how he would thank her.

However, she never imagined that all she would hear from him were these simple four words: Be more careful.

It was as if she had made a mistake and he was just not holding it against her.

Maya’s expression became slightly rigid.

Steve looked up at Maya, who was still standing in front of his desk, and frowned. He asked, “Is there anything else?”

Maya came to her senses and quickly shook her head at Steve.

Steve didn’t say anything else.

As Maya was about to turn around and leave, Steve seemed to remember something and suddenly said, “If I recall correctly, there was a semester in college when Ruby paid your tuition, right?”

Maya was confused as to why Steve brought up the past all of a sudden. She hesitated for a moment before nodding her head to him.
