Ruth stood outside Edwin's office with slightly trembling hands. Inhaling as much air as she could, she knocked on the door. She waited with a smile on her face to hear his deep voice.
She knocked again but did not get any response. Frowning, she opened the door and peeked inside. She was greeted by an empty room with no trace of him.
"Where is he?" Ruth mumbled.
He must be in his private chamber if he was not there. Ruth shut the door and walked towards his private chamber. She was nervous to go inside as she knew that he did not allow anyone in his private chamber. Even his family and friends rarely visit him there.
She was about to knock on the door when the guard outside stopped her.
"Miss Ruth, are you here to meet Young Master?"
"Erm... yes. He must be inside waiting for me." Ruth told.
"He is not in his private chamber."
Ruth frowned. "What? He is not in his office either. Then where is he?"
"Pardon me, but I do not know where he is." The guard said.
