Ruth was sitting on Elsie's balcony, staring out at the garden. Her eyes looked red with bags under them. She was so lost in her world that she failed to notice another presence in Elsie's chamber.
"Hello there!" A man whispered near her ear, startling her.
She shrieked in surprise and was about to lose her balance, but he held her hand securely before it.
Ruth blinked her frightened eyes to see the mischievous smile on Lester's face. His olive-green eyes held the humour which Ruth barely shared.
He laughed heartily, shaking his shoulders. "I can not believe that Edwin's Luna is so gullible!"
Ruth frowned at him, pursing her lips. She pulled herself up and stood straight after pulling her hand from him.
"I swear when I will get a chance you will be my first target Lord Lester!" She grumbled angrily.
