Meanwhile, in Frin City, sometime after 6 pm, Ruby parked her car in an empty slot at a parking building closer to where she was having an appointment.
After putting the car into parking, she took in a deep breath before taking out a small mirror from her handbag.
"I need to look my best!" she cheered herself as she started checking her appearance.
Like her sister, she barley wore make up but time calls for it, she didn’t mind padding some powder on. She made sure that the powder was sticking onto the face pretty well before applying a bit of lipstick to her lips. Once that was done, she smacked her lips in satisfaction before putting everything into her makeup bag and stashed it into the handbag.
Ruby looked around inside the car, checking to see if she hadn’t missed anything. After making sure that everything was on point, she alighted from the car and locked her car.
After that, she started walking towards the exit with a smile on her face, thinking about that night’s appointment.
She had never thought that she would be so courageous to meet the person she was going to meet. Especially with how sullen she was the last time they met.
"Oh love, I whispered through my tears,
Do you recall the days when hopes were clear?"
A familiar ringing tone sounded and Ruby couldn’t help but sing along briefly as she took out her phone from the handbag.
That was a verse from the song Diamond sang with Z when she was in Gesalsi. There was something about that song that just make her like it.
Moreover, rather than supporting other artists’ songs, she would rather pick her own sister.
Ruby took out the phone and swiped the screen to answer before putting it on her ear to answer, "Hey!"
[Um. Where are you?]
Ruby looked around as she checked the road before crossing the road.
"Just across the mall. I will be there in like five!"
[Oh~ I will be waiting for you then!]
Ruby smiled when she heard that and grunted a response.
After making the call, she put the phone back into the handbag before crossing the road after making sure that there were no cars on the road.
Ruby crossed the road and walked towards the small shopping mall with a smile on her face, humming another Diamond’s song.
"Oh, thank you for believing,
For every tear and every dream.
You’re the heartbeat in my song,
With you, I know where I belong."
This time humming Shining Star, the song Diamond sang for the JEWELs.
It wasn’t long before she spotted the restaurant where she was going and, upon seeing it, she increased her pace. Before she knew it, she was pushing the door of the restaurant and entering inside.
"Ruby! Over here!" and a familiar voice called out to her, making her look in that direction.
Ruby smiled faintly when she saw the person she was dining with, and her heart couldn’t help but feel a pang. She was filled with complicated emotions at the moment.
She waved towards the other and started walking towards him, without bothering looking at the few diners who were in the restaurant.
Sean looked at the young lady who had captured her heart and yet toll with it as if it was a toy. freeweb\n(o)v.e\l.com
Was this his retribution?
Honestly, he didn’t know what to think but as long as she sees him c9ntinuously without being direct with her rejection, which she hadn’t done yet, he wasn’t going to give up.
He stood to his feet and pulled the chair for Ruby as soon as she got closer.
"Hey!" she greeted him smilingly as she stepped in front of the chair.
"Hey, hey!" he returned the greeting as he helped her to sit down like the gentleman he was.
