Chapter 569: Wait a little longer before giving up (9)
"There was another time when there was an urgent document at the company that needed my brother's signature. I called him, and he told me to wait. I ended up waiting until 11 p.m. and still didn't get a reply from him. So I went to his apartment and stood outside his door until nearly 1 a.m. before he came back. I asked him where he had been, but he didn't say anything. He signed the document and then basically kicked me out." Madeleine said this while rolling her eyes, clearly complaining about Steve.

Ruby frowned slightly and asked, "When did this happen?"
