Chapter 172: Chapter 172: Crying herself into unconsciousness (18)

Steve Burton seemed to ignore Ruby Gregory's words, just reaching out and taking the glass cup from her hand.

Seeing that Steve did not respond, Ruby hesitated for a moment then made up an excuse: "I just called The Gregorys and they are on their way. You can go do your thing, you don't need to keep me company..."

Before Ruby could finish, Steve fixed his gaze intently on her.

The expression on his face grew increasingly indifferent.

There was no trace of emotion in his eyes, only a vastness like that of an ocean, giving off a shuddering sensation.

Ruby felt a bit jittery under Steve's gaze. Lowering her eyes, she worked hard to steady her voice and continued, "You have to work tomorrow, you can't rest well here..."

There was a sharp "pop" that interrupted her sentence.
