She had mustered up the courage to approach Oliver and strike up a conversation, for heaven's sake! After her making such a bold move, why on earth was Oliver so heartless?

The assistant paused mid-stride, his mind flashing to Josefina. Those two were a match made in heaven. With an icy tone, the assistant spat out, "None of your business." Defeated, Ruby slumped onto the couch, still unable to soothe her agitated nerves.
