The next morning, Ruby yawned as she stretched her tired body, awakening from her slumber.
She had slept late yesterday.
After arriving at Diamond's house, she continued with her assignments and ate dinner on her own since her parents hadn't returned.
The couple returned home around 10 pm and they talked and shared about the day until the wee hours of the morning.
As a result, she woke up late.
Looking at the time on the bedside clock, a wry smile appeared on her face.
09:25 am.
Seeing how late it was, she could only wake up and get ready. She had appointments to keep during the day. So, she needed to make haste.
Thirty minutes later, Ruby was in the dining room, seated with her parents, who didn't have work to do. The two would be staying at home, she guessed.
However, as they were eating, Ruby's assumptions were proven wrong.
"Darling, we might return late tonight!" her mother informed her.
