To the Love of My Life

Chapter 631: Chapter 631: Ruby Gregory’s Confession (11)
 

The reason Ruby Gregory took Steve Burton to the store where Maya Mitchell was shopping was to show Maya that Steve was accompanying her. However, their standing position was quite remote, and Maya didn’t notice their presence when she came out of the fitting room and left.

If Maya left through the door, who knew where she would go next? Ruby blinked lightly, and just as Maya was taking the shopping bag from the sales assistant with a smile on her face, Ruby couldn’t help but raise her voice and call out, “Steve Burton!”

The clothing store was very quiet, everyone was speaking in soft whispers, and the background music was a slow ballad playing at a lower volume. Ruby’s raised voice easily spread throughout the entire store.

Everyone looked towards the source of the sound.

Ruby pretended to look towards Steve, but the corner of her eyes continuously glanced towards where Maya was standing.

She clearly saw that when Maya heard the name “Steve Burton,” her fingers paused slightly, and then her whole person reflexively looked up and around, before her gaze settled on her and Steve.

Steve had been following Ruby all along, accompanying her as she looked at the clothes. Suddenly hearing her loudly call his name, he couldn’t help but look at her in confusion.

Ruby had only thought of stopping Maya from leaving, so she had shouted Steve’s name on a whim, but she had forgotten to think about what to say after calling him. Only after seeing him looking at her, she blinked and hastily came up with an excuse, “I’m a little tired.”

After saying that, Ruby took another glance at Maya.

At this point, the smile on Maya’s face seemed somewhat stiff, her eyes still fixed on where Ruby and Steve were standing.

The sales assistant spoke to her several times with a smile before Maya finally came back to her senses, reached out with some stiffness, and took the shopping bag handed over by the sales assistant. Then her gaze went back to Ruby and Steve again, her eyes filled with a hint of disbelief, as if she couldn’t believe that Ruby and Steve were shopping together.

Feeling slightly unhappy with the way Maya looked at her, Ruby thought: Why can’t I go shopping with Steve?

Ruby was not the type of person who always had to outdo others, but at that moment, she wanted to outdo Maya. So she asked Steve in a coquettish manner, “But I haven’t finished shopping yet, could you help me pick out clothes?”

Not only was she shopping with Steve, but she also wanted him to help her choose clothes!

Although Steve didn’t understand what calculations Ruby was making in her heart, he had never been able to refuse her honest requests, especially when her tone was soft and tinged with a hint of coquetry. He immediately went along with Ruby’s wishes, accompanying her to the sofa in the resting area, and asked the sales assistant to pour Ruby a cup of warm water before going to select clothes for her.

Steve’s aesthetic sense had always been good. Although he didn’t ask the sales assistants about the new and limited edition products in the store, he casually picked a few items that won their praise, with them either complimenting his good taste or telling him that they were newly-launched limited editions.
