Ruby commented with a warm smile, "I guess we were meant to meet."
Lisa beamed, "Ms. Ruby, we surely share a unique connection. You're my idol! Your pictures and stories still grace the walls of Riverbrook TV Station."
Lisa had done her homework. Before Ruby went abroad, she was the star reporter at Riverbrook TV Station. Lisa even visited the station, where Ruby's photos still adorned a corridor.
Modestly, Ruby replied, "That was all a long time ago."
Seeing Ruby in good spirits, Lisa pressed on, "So, why did you leave journalism? With your talent, you could have been the head of Riverbrook TV Station by now."
Ruby's face showed a brief flicker of embarrassment. Neil, too, seemed lost for words.
Ruby had been a journalist for many years, braving war zones and exposing global underground networks. She had saved countless homeless orphans and often appeared in international news. She was even a UN peace ambassador. Lisa's question seemed oblivious, especially after calling Ruby her idol.
Just then, the Shaw family's four sons entered, catching their conversation.
