"Layla!"

"Ruby!"

As Ruby rushed toward Layla, Layla stood up from her seat and embraced her warmly. She cast a brief glance at Roger, who offered a small, reassuring smile before stepping away from the door.

After pulling away from the hug, Ruby looked at Layla with a bright smile. "That handsome bodyguard told me that his Master wants me to join you. I hurried over to have a heartfelt chat," she said.

Layla's concern was evident. "What about your shop? You mentioned the sales haven't been great this month."

Ruby responded with a cheerful smile, "Oh, I received a large order this morning. I need to supply storybooks to a school."

Layla's thoughts briefly drifted. *Could it be Lucius?*

Ruby's attention shifted to the TV, where the news was playing. "Is that Orabela?" she exclaimed. "She cursed you on national TV! But look at her—her true colors are finally being shown!" Ruby laughed as she read the headlines about Orabela.
