With the team racing to finish the app, Steven interrupts with a PowerPoint explaining the pregnant woman at the hospital is his cousin. Coworkers react; one who agreed to the marriage flips the interview and asks how it feels. She jokes that Steven is unlucky around her: he earned scholarships before they met but began failing exams afterward, hinting he may be tanking on purpose. Upset, she calls room service for red and fruit wine, remembers sleeping through her last drink, decides to try again, and watches the bottles arrive—leaving the marriage fallout unresolved.
They fell in love in high school but were torn apart by a bitter family feud. Ruby ended the relationship; Steven accepted it, convinced she had learned his father's role in her father's death. He vanished, took the surname Gibson and built Gibson Tech. Ruby became a solitary freelance writer, quitting after workplace harassment and remaining single. Though he never reached out, Steven watched her from afar. Now successful, he engineers her business trip to Syntherra. Their reunion sparks hope, then Ruby retreats, mistaking him for a married man. Even after the misunderstanding is cleared, old family wounds keep her guarded. Steven refuses to give up: he proposes low-key cohabitation and dating without talk of marriage. Torn between love and fear, Ruby yields to a short-term pact, uncertain if healing or heartbreak will follow.
