Chapter 268: 268: Becoming More and More Sensible (8)

Mr. Robbins calmly glanced over at Ruby and Steve’s hands, then looked at Ruby’s expression. It was not as aloof as when she greeted him earlier, and her tone was much friendlier: “Ms. Gregory, I didn’t expect to see you here.”

Ruby saw Mr. Robbins’ expression and a hint of joy crept into her heart. She knew that he had been deceived by the illusion she had created.

Ruby politely stood up, smiled, and extended her hand to Mr. Robbins: “Mr.

Robbins.”

Mr. Robbins quickly shook hands with Ruby, then turned his attention to Steve.

He had come specifically for Steve.

In the capital city, no businessman would pass up the opportunity to forge a connection with Steve Burton.

Mr. Robbins’ enthusiasm was even more intense when facing Steve, “Mr. Burton, it’s a pleasure to meet you.”

Steve remained unmoved by the greeting, sitting in his chair without saying a word, and glanced over at Ruby, who had stood up beside him.

Not at all feeling awkward, Mr. Robbins even went on to introduce himself in detail to Steve: “Mr. Burton, my name is Theodore Robbins, and Robbins’ World is my company.”

Steve’s expression remained unchanged.

After being met with resistance twice, Mr. Robbins’ expression showed a hint of embarrassment.

Mr. Robbins is one of the Gregorys’ major clients… With the intention of smoothing things over, Ruby said to Steve: “He’s one of my dad’s old clients; he probably saw me here and came over to say hello.”

“Yes, yes, yes.” Mr. Robbins, standing nearby, smiled and echoed her words. Steve still didn’t say anything but fixed his gaze on Ruby for a moment.

Did he really just come to say hello to her?

Any perceptive person could see that this man was here for Steve, right?

However, she had already spoken…

Steve leisurely and gracefully stood up and extended his hand to Mr. Robbins: “Mr. Robbins, hello.”

Mr. Robbins never expected that a simple word from Ruby would cause Steve to extend his hand to him. He looked at Ruby with a somewhat surprised expression. then quickly used both of his hands to enthusiastically shake Steve’s hand.

Ruby was also taken aback by this turn of events.

She admits that she is currently using Steve to put on a show for Mr. Robbins to see, but some things could not be done without Steve’s willing cooperation.

Take this moment, for example. She simply tried to make the situation more comfortable, and Steve surprisingly greeted Mr. Robbins.

Such a move would undoubtedly make Mr. Robbins believe that Steve was greeting him out of respect for Ruby..
