"Seems like you both know each other well?!" Elsie marked.
Lester glanced at his mate then smirked Ruth's way knowingly. "Let's just say that we had a small encounter before."
Rees walked towards Ruth and touched her shoulder, pressing it a little in encouragement.
"I am glad that you came." He smiled down at her.
"Yes." Ruth smiled back, but the three people could sense her uneasiness after Eloise's episode.
"Miss Moore, you can not expect only goodness to prevail in the world. There will always be no-good things along with goodness.
It does not mean that no good is always equal to evil. A family has all kinds of members with their individual personalities. If we are not comfortable with one of them does not mean we discard them, right?"
Ruth listened to Lester attentively and understood the hidden meaning behind his words.
Although Eloise came out to be a strong-headed and arrogant person, that did not mean she was evil, and Ruth should not avoid her or decline the job.
