Ruby Gregory watched as her card's balance depleted to eighty percent, yet Steve Burton's call still hadn't come.
Her heart was both elated and anxious.
She was happy that she could spend Steve's money so freely without his interference, as if she had carte blanche, yet anxious that Steve might be too busy to even notice the spending alerts.
As Ruby hesitated over whether to pay for the dozens of bags she had selected, her phone suddenly chimed.
Had Steve finally reacted?
Ruby swiftly swiped open her phone screen, expecting a message from Steve inquiring about her spending, only to find a notification from the bank.
"Your account ending in XXXX has received a deposit of 10,000,000,000 RMB on March 9 at 15:37."
Ruby's expression froze in an instant.
It wasn't a message from Steve but from the bank?
Before Ruby could snap out of her daze, her phone chimed again. She hurriedly checked, only to find a text from Steve: "Do you have enough to spend?"
