Steve Burton stared intently at Ruby Gregory, his face very close to hers, and his warm breath sprayed on her face, making Ruby feel uncomfortable all over. In the afternoon, it was because she had to perform for Mr. Robbins, so she forced herself to endure it.

But now, she felt as if her face was about to be burned by his breath, and for the third time, her heart began to pound with a mixture of excitement and shyness.

This unfamiliar feeling made her wish she could stand up and run away immediately.

Her breathing gradually became unstable, and her face began to redden. Seeing so many people around her, she feared her feelings would be revealed. She glanced anxiously at the pork ribs soup in front of her and remembered his question about why she only drank soup. She said casually, “This soup is very light, would you like to try some?”

Upon hearing Ruby’s voice, Steve’s long eyelashes flickered for a moment, and then he nodded at her, his response slightly gentle, “Alright.”

As soon as Steve agreed, Ruby quickly and subtly increased the distance between them by standing up.

Only then did Ruby feel like she could breathe more smoothly, her facial expression becoming more relaxed.

Steve’s gaze never left Ruby, and with his heightened sensitivity, he could discern something from her expression, even though she tried her best to hide her feelings.

It turned out that she had offered to serve him soup to avoid their uncomfortable closeness.

At once, Steve’s expression froze.

When Ruby stood up, she grabbed her own bowl in haste. After pouring half a bowl of soup, she realized her mistake, called a waiter, and asked for a new bowl.

The waiter politely brought a new bowl and asked, “Would you like some soup?”

As he reached out to serve the soup for Ruby, she reached out and took the bowl from his hand, “I’ll do it.’

The waiter stepped back with a smile.

Steve observed all this silently, his face expressionless.

Ruby poured the soup slowly, taking her time. Finally, she finished and took a deep breath, then slowly returned to her seat with the soup in her hand. She turned and smiled as she offered the bowl to Steve.

Steve glanced at the soup in the bowl without moving his gaze, looked up at Ruby, and showed no intention of reaching out to take it..
