Unintentional Revelation - I
When Ruby returned to the guest quarter, she saw that the door to Lorenzo’s room was already closed.
‘The others must have left already. But should I be disturbing him right now?’ she wondered.
Before she could hesitate and go back to her room though, Lorenzo opened the door to his room as if he was expecting Ruby to come back.
Now that he was alone, he didn’t deny recognizing her. He gave a gentle nod to Ruby and then welcomed her inside the room. “Miss Ruby, please come in.”
Ruby also returned his warm gesture by smiling at him and then entered the room.
Since they were still in the territory of the manor, they both were a bit cautious. They didn’t want people to see them together and assume that they were up to something.
Thus, to avoid any kind of suspicion, Lorenzo closed the door and began to speak in the softest voice possible.
“How have you been, Miss Ruby?” he began the conversation with a generic question even though he had hundreds of questions in his mind.
