It had been a long time since they last saw each other, so naturally, the two girls had a lot to catch up on. Madeleine immediately took Ruby to a relatively quiet corner to sit and chat.

Ruby and Madeleine had been inseparable since kindergarten, like a pair of twin flowers. Even though they hadn’t seen each other for three years, their closeness hadn’t been affected. They completely disregarded their surroundings and chatted animatedly and rapidly without pause.

Suddenly, at half-past eight, the lights of the banquet hall dimmed, interrupting Ruby and Madeleine’s conversation.

Madeleine turned her head and saw the light on the stage: “The birthday banquet is about to start, let’s go over there.”

Ruby smiled and stood up, holding Madeleine’s hand, as they walked towards the stage.

The guests had already crowded around the stage. Madeleine raised her head, trying to find a spot closer to the stage. She locked eyes with Howard, who waved her over. Madeleine then held Ruby’s hand and apologized, making her way through the crowd to Howard’s side.

Just as Ruby and Madeleine settled into their spots, Steve Burton emerged from behind the stage.

The man wore a simple, hand-made black suit, with the most ordinary white shirt inside, and a red tie, which made him look imposing.

He slowly walked to the center of the stage, a beam of white light peacefully shone on his tall and slender figure, his handsome face looking somehow unreal in its perfection.

His expression was somewhat indifferent as he held the microphone and spoke a few official words, then directly handed it over to Rusell Henris standing nearby.

Rusell, wearing a red suit, spoke clearly: “Thank you all for coming to Mr. Steve

Burton, Pristine’s Enterprises’ President’s birthday banquet. I hope everyone enjoys the food and alcohol, and has a great time!”

Rusell’s words were met with a round of enthusiastic applause from the audience.

Well-trained waiters carried champagne, handing a glass to each guest one by one.

“A toast to everyone.” Steve Burton raised his glass slightly to the crowd, then without blinking, tilted his head and drained the glass.

The guests also raised their glasses and drank to the bottom.

As everyone’s glasses were laid down, the lights in the banquet hall gradually brightened.

As soon as Steve and Rusell stepped down from the stage, they were quickly surrounded by people who offered them birthday blessings, toasts, and gifts.

Whether or not Steve genuinely appreciated the gifts, he personally received each one with a word of thanks and then handed it over to Rusell standing by his side..
