To the Love of My Life - Chapter 515
Chapter 515: Chapter 515: So You Knew It All Along (25)
Steve Burton didn’t chat very long before getting up to leave. On his way back to the company, he received a call from Rusell Henris who told him he was at a club on West 2nd Ring Road entertaining clients from France and asked when he would arrive.
Steve replied “Right away,” took a turn, and got onto the second ring road.
The capital city’s second ring road was often congested. Steve spent forty minutes driving just a few kilometers. The club’s underground parking was full, so he casually parked his car by the side of the road before entering the club.
Following the directions Rusell had sent, Steve easily found their private room where a server was half-kneeling on the ground, brewing aromatic green tea.
The French clients had brought a few small gifts, including a pair of binoculars made in Freedonia. It was a new product that could clearly see scenes over 100 meters away.
Edward Woods, slightly intrigued, held up the binoculars and looked around through the window. Suddenly, he became motionless and focused on one spot before turning to call out, “Bro.”
Despite hearing Edward’s call, Steve didn’t react and continued chatting in fluent French with the French clients.
Edward continued to stare through the binoculars for a moment before calling out again, “Bro, guess who I saw?”
Steve was paying full attention to the conversation with the French clients and only briefly glanced at Edward.
Edward waved towards Steve and said, “It’s Ruby.”
Upon hearing this name, Steve frowned, apologized to the French clients, stood up, and walked over to Edward, taking the binoculars from him.
Edward stood beside him, pointing in a direction and saying, “Across the street in the coffee shop, the window farthest to the east. See her? It’s Ruby…”
Steve had already seen Ruby Gregory through the binoculars before Edward had even finished describing her location. However, since the club and coffee shop were not directly facing each other, he couldn’t see who was sitting across from her.
The French clients could understand a little Chinese, so they stepped forward and curiously asked, “Who is Ruby?”
Rusell, standing by the side, responded with a smile in French, “Mrs. Burton.”
One of the French clients politely asked, “Mr. Burton is married? May we have a glimpse of Mrs. Burton’s beauty?”
Steve handed the binoculars to the French client, and Edward helped them find Ruby’s location while briefly describing her clothing and appearance.
After finding Ruby, the French client exclaimed unabashedly, “Mrs. Burton is indeed beautiful!”
Steve smiled and casually responded, “Thank you.”
He then apologized to the French clients, saying, “Excuse me, I’ll be back shortly.”
After saying this, he glanced at Rusell and Edward, motioning for them to entertain the French clients. He then picked up his coat from a nearby rack and walked out.
Crossing a skywalk, Steve approached the coffee shop and finally saw who was sitting across from Ruby Gregory.
He stood not too far away and stared at the two people sitting face-to-face inside the coffee shop for a while. Then, he made his way into the coffee shop.
