"So, I apologize, but regarding Ruby Gregory, I'd rather make a mistake than take any chances."
Steve Burton's words were direct and showed no mercy.
He made his intentions very clear: even if he really suspected Maya Mitchell wrongly, it would just be her misfortune!
"So, whether you sincerely care for Ruby or have ulterior motives like I suspect, starting today, you better stay away from her."
To him, Maya was just a dispensable secretary, albeit an efficient worker, which is why he employed her for three years.
However, Ruby was a different matter for him.
She was an indispensable beauty in his life. The kidnapping incident was already nerve-wracking enough. If Maya really had sinister intentions like he suspected, that incident was far from being over but merely just the beginning.
He could gamble on everything in this world, except for Ruby. She was a risk he couldn't take.
