Ruby Gregory was so stimulated by this remark that her body trembled even more violently. She tightly closed her eyes, fooling herself by telling herself that what she couldn't see wouldn't hurt her. She then forced herself to ignore all her embarrassment and extended her hand forward.

Steve Burton watched Ruby Gregory, who looked as if she was going to the execution ground, with a resolute expression. He couldn't help but scoff, “Let me tell you, Ruby Gregory, don't put on such a reluctant look for me. If you don't want to do this, leave right now!”

Ruby Gregory's hand trembled violently when Steve Burton scolded her. She paused for a moment, her lips tightly pressed together. As if she hadn't heard the sarcasm from his mouth, she finally touched him.

Steve Burton, who had been holding himself tautly, quickly extended his hand, pulled Ruby Gregory up, and threw her onto the large bed behind him.

His actions were moderately violent, and his grip was somewhat heavy. Somehow, he left a noticeable mark on her delicate, fair skin. Yet, she didn't utter a single sound, as if she didn't feel any pain.

Seeing her like this, he felt all the more irritated, his annoyance near the point of madness. His only solution was to punish her in the most primal way.

His kiss was more like a bite. When he bit her neck, he suddenly increased his strength. Even though her body clearly flinched, she emitted only a barely audible groan, followed by silence. It remained silent even after he could taste blood, all still silent.

Her numb reaction made him feel a layer of self-mockery in his eyes, followed by a quick shift to the main topic.

Her eyes were somewhat damp, but she only dared to keep her eyes shut tightly, afraid that she would unwittingly shed tears and upset him.

Because once, he said, he didn't like it when she cried.

If such torment and pain could exchange for her opportunity to work at Pristine's Enterprises, or to bear a child, she thought, everything would be worth it.

After a long while, it all ended.

Ruby Gregory felt as if she had just taken a round trip through the gates of hell.

Ruby Gregory lay in bed in a daze for a long time, slowly regaining some consciousness. She heard Steve Burton's slightly hurried breath next to her ear.

Ruby Gregory slowly turned her head to see Steve Burton staring at the ceiling, apparently lost in thought.

She hadn't fully complied with what he had previously asked for, and she was uncertain whether her ordeal was over for the night.

Ruby Gregory hesitated for a moment before finally voicing out, “Can I go to work at Pristine's Enterprises tomorrow?”

Ruby Gregory didn't understand why her question was amusing, but Steve Burton chuckled lightly before his face turned cold. He turned his head and stared at her face for a long time. Then, he slightly nodded, pointed at the door, and said, “You may leave now!”
