The next day, Ruby slept comfortably and woke up at sunrise.
Looking at the bedside beside her, which was already empty, she woke up, her sleepy eyes only becoming clear.
Turning out of bed, she stepped out on the soft carpet without her shoes and walked to the window, pulling back the curtains with a swish.
In a few moments, the dazzling sunlight poured in through the floor-to-ceiling windows.
Ruby squinted her eyes, bathed in the sunlight, and felt warm.
Knowing that she was not going to leave the capital yet, Reggie renewed the presidential suite she had previously stayed in, telling her to stay in peace and not to worry about anything.
It was located in the busiest part of the capital's city centre, and she stood high above the city, overlooking the traffic and the hustle and bustle.
At that moment, the door to the room opened and Levi walked in, "Awake?"
Ruby turned around and saw his long body leaning against the door, his posture lazy and pleasing to the eye with his handsome face.
Ruby nodded, "Is there anything to eat? I'm hungry."
Levi raised his eyebrows, "I've been ready for you for a long time, come out."
The Presidential Suite had its own separate kitchenette. Ruby walked out and was surprised to see the breakfast already made on the small bar.
"Did you make these?"
Levi sat down opposite her, "Is there a third person here?"
He handed her the chopsticks, "Eat, or it will soon get cold."
Seeing that he wanted to eat with her, Ruby blinked, "Didn't you eat first?"
Levi nodded, answering, "I have been waiting for you."
At these words, Ruby remained as usual on her face, but her heart was warm.
Only halfway through the meal, there was a sudden knock at the door.
Thinking that it was the room service staff, Ruby was about to open the door, but she was stopped by Levi.
"You eat your food, I'll go."
Having said that, he took a step forward.
Ruby didn't care, but soon, she heard Levi's somewhat unexpected voice.
"Dr. Moore? What are you doing here?"
At the sound of his voice, Ruby froze, got up and walked over, only to find to her surprise that not only Dr. Moore had come, but also two other people.
One was Matteo, whom she had saved earlier.
There was also a young man, an old friend she had befriended in the capital many years ago - Layton.
After a moment of surprise, she quickly regained her composure and greeted Dr. Moore first, then swept her eyes at Matteo without saying a word, and finally looked at Layton.
"It's been a long time."
Layton smiled with a familiar look and a gentle gaze, " It's been a long time, Ruby."
He called out very intimately, and Levi could not help but give him an extra look, but did not say anything.
