The sun was setting in the west, and the sky gradually darkened as neon lights slowly lit up. It was then that Steve Burton's phone rang.
The call was from Edward Woods, saying that he had arranged a dinner at Grand Ciawell Restaurant for their French clients, and asked when he would be able to join them.
Steve glanced at Ruby Gregory, who was still sitting in the cafe, dazed and confused. He swallowed hard, his tone somewhat rigid, saying: "You guys go ahead, I'll contact you later."
Having said that, he hung up before Edward could respond.
After an unknown amount of time, Ruby finally showed some reaction. She slowly sat up straight, raised her hand to call the waitress, then took the menu from her hands and stared at it for a while. She then whispered a few words to the waitress, who left with a smile.
Less than ten minutes later, the waitress brought a plate of fried rice to Ruby's table.
