Rusell Henris stood by, and upon hearing this serious statement, he let out a “pfft” laugh.

But his laughter was only halfway through when Steve Burton’s sharp gaze swept over, like fifty sharp knives shooting at him at once, scaring Rusell into forcefully holding back his laughter.

Only then did Steve look back at Ruby Gregory with an indifferent gaze and ask, “What about the cooperation case?”

Ruby looked at Howard Coleman and was just about to speak, but Howard quickly said, “It’s in my car.”

“Are you Ruby Gregory?” Steve turned his head, glanced at Howard, and then left with a cold face.

Howard, Rusell, and Ruby hurriedly followed him.

Steve walked quickly, while Ruby, who had an injured foot, walked slowly. As Howard and Rusell struggled to decide whether to follow Steve or accompany Ruby, Steve’s pace gradually slowed down.

Entering the parking lot, Howard quickly opened the car door, took out the cooperation case, and handed it to Steve.

Steve snatched the cooperation case fiercely, glanced at Ruby standing by, then said to Howard, “Take her home.”

Home?

She still had unfinished work at the company, and if it piled up until tomorrow, she would be insanely busy.

Ruby hurriedly said, “The doctor said I’m fine, and I feel much better now.”

“Pristine’s Enterprises won’t go bankrupt without you,” Steve said coldly, then turned around and went to his own car, got in, stepped on the gas, and drove away.

Howard and Rusell sent Ruby home and then rushed back to Pristine’s Corporation, just in time for the weekly Monday noon meeting.

During the meeting, Steve, as usual, just listened to everyone’s summary of the company’s performance last week, and avoided speaking as much as possible.

However, when it was Rusell’s and Howard’s turn to summarize their work, Steve seemed to have become a different person, with every word hitting the mark, nitpicking at the two men until he found a whole bunch of faults.

In the end, Steve slammed Howard’s planning case on the table and said,

“Howard, redo this planning case for me!”

Then he raised his head and said to Rusell, “If the original eco-park idea you submit this afternoon is not good enough, I’ll send you straight to a godforsaken mountain village to experience what ‘original ecology’ truly is! ”

When Steve finished, he threw out an “end of the meeting” and left the conference room with the files on his table.

As soon as Steve left, the atmosphere in the conference room became lively again.. Madeleine leaned on the table, looking at Rusell and Howard without hiding her delight in their predicament, and asked Howard, “Howard, how did you and Rusell manage to offend our brother today?”
