Ruby Gregory's body tensed up even more, and she didn't dare to take a breath, like a robot, quickly listening to Steve Burton's words. She took a white piece and placed it on the position he had just pointed at.
From then on, Ruby followed Steve's command for every move she made on the chessboard.
In an instant, the game between her and Howard Coleman turned into a match between Steve and Howard.
Steve was sitting on Ruby's right, and later on, the battle between Steve and Howard shifted to her left side, so when Steve directed her moves, he would reach around her shoulder to point. This action was as if Steve was embracing Ruby in his arms.
At first, Steve would retract his hand after giving instructions, but later, he seemed to find it troublesome and simply left his arm resting on Ruby's shoulder.
