Ruby hesitated for a moment, then walked sheepishly out of the dressing room. She circled her bedroom twice and suddenly seemed to have an idea. Ruby grabbed a coat to wear over her pajamas, picked up her phone, and headed to the main power switch on the first floor.
First, she turned on the flashlight on her phone, then stared at the row of switches. After looking for a while, she couldn't figure out which one controlled the lights, so she gritted her teeth and turned off the main switch. The bright Gregorys' Villa, from the rooms upstairs and downstairs to the courtyard and the lights outside, went dark instantly.
With her phone in hand, Ruby carefully watched her steps on the illuminated path, left The Gregorys, and went to The Burtons' front entrance. The Burton's servants were probably watching the fireworks on the mountaintop, as the courtyard was well-lit, and there were rows of colorful lanterns hanging to welcome the New Year, blinking on and off.
