"What time will it be over?"
"I don't know."
"I'll wait for you at your apartment, then."
Steve Burton thought for a moment and said, "Okay."

After hanging up the phone, Steve looked through the car window at Ruby Gregory holding her cell phone for a while, then put the phone on the passenger seat, put on a Bluetooth headset, and called Edward Woods to ask about the location of the dinner party while driving away slowly.

Ruby waited for her coat to arrive, then called her driver to take her to Steve's apartment.
In the over 300 square meters residence, there was no one around, and the place was exceptionally quiet. Ruby didn't feel like watching TV, but she turned it on anyway.
When she felt hungry around eleven o'clock, she got up from the sofa and made herself a bowl of noodles in the kitchen. She chewed slowly and thoroughly, washed the silverware afterward, and placed them in the disinfection cabinet. Only then did she put on slippers and go upstairs.
