Although Ruby couldn't see Steve's expression clearly, she could feel that he seemed to be upset.
Actually, her intention in saying those things was not to make Steve upset. She just wanted him to know that she was not the kind of girl who shamelessly clung to men.
But unfortunately, she had made the atmosphere so awkward.
Ruby looked up at the sky and took a few deep breaths. After calming herself down, she sat upright and said to Steve who was sitting right across from her, "It's getting late, I should go home."
Steve did not respond. He sat there rigidly, as if he was frozen.
Ruby did not speak again.
Both of them remained silent.
After a long time, Steve finally rubbed his face vigorously with both hands, and slowly raised his head.
Ruby saw that his handsome face was calm, his eyes were dry, and even when he raised his hand to call the waiter for the bill, he remained as composed as always.
