"Before decidng to go there... you should know about the owner of the building." Ruth's coworker had said.
'Is the owner Edwin O'Dell?'
Ruth did not know where that thought came from. She did not like the idea though.
"Who... who is the owner?" She asked.
"It is Harold Davies."
Ruth sighed in relief, her features slowly lose the tension.
"From smile on your face I assume you do not know who he is?" The woman noticed Ruth's changed body language.
"Oh, I know who he is. I saw him in the-" Ruth realised that she was about to spill the beans that she had seen Harold Davies in 'the great manor' on the night of celebrations. "in some public event." She covered up her slip of the tongue with a lie.
The woman did not say anything, only observed Ruth.
"Why are you worried about him? He is one of the well known traders of not only Vincardine but also the whole region and also is associated with the O'Dell family. I am sure he must be kind enough to help me."
