Ruby stared at her purse, her expression darkening like a gathering storm. Her red eyes sharpened, filled with intense, unreadable emotions, and a chilling silence settled in the room.
Julian, standing just behind her, felt a shiver run down his spine. He swallowed nervously, his mossy-green eyes darting toward her face. There was something terrifying about the way her cold gaze fixed on the purse, the atmosphere growing heavy. The vibe she was giving off was unnervingly dark.
"What's wrong?" he asked hesitantly, his voice almost trembling.
Ruby's fingers gripped the edge of the purse tightly as she turned her head slightly toward him. "Someone touched my purse," she said, her voice low but dangerously dark.
Julian blinked, confused, but her words hit like a slap of icy wind.
Ruby's eyes narrowed further as she inspected the bag more closely. "I put my notes in a certain position. Now, they're on the other side. And a few of my gems are missing."
