The birthday celebration downstairs was still in full swing.
Howard Coleman, Rusell Henris, Edward Woods, and Madeleine were holding their drinks, clinking glasses every now and then and taking a few sips.
The four of them looked pretty good in spirits.
Howard Coleman downed a glass of wine, “Ever since Ruby came back to the country, you guys have no idea, I was so anxious for our brother. Recall when Ruby sprained her ankle and went to the hospital, our brother decidedly went for her but insisted he was there for a work case. He was just playing coy. Today our brother was rather manly and actually took Ruby away alone. In my view, he should have done this long ago!”
Edward Woods started speaking like a psychologist, “I dare not guess our brother’s other thoughts, but over the years I have seen through his feelings for Ruby. When Ruby was giving gifts that time, our brother embarrassingly did not give Ruby any face in front of everyone. On the surface, our brother seemed uncaring. In reality, he cared more than anyone about Ruby being talked about, so he purposely took Ruby away alone in front of everyone, just to let everyone know that she has his backing. He wants people to afford Ruby some respect!”
Rusell Henris lifted his wine bottle, filled everyone’s glasses, looked at Madeleine and asked, “Madeleine, didn’t you just call to ask where our brother took Ruby?”
Madeleine said, “He took her to the presidential suite upstairs.”
Upon hearing these words, Howard Coleman was immediately interested, “You mean, could our brother and Ruby be upstairs right now, rekindling old flames?”
After saying this, Howard Coleman’s face showed a hint of annoyance, “If only I’d prepared some aphrodisiac to slip to Ruby. In the hotel room, Ruby would certainly be aggressive with our brother. Our brother would be absolutely delighted. If everything goes well, tomorrow morning when he wakes up, he will undoubtedly be in high spirits. Our good days would arrive!”
Rusell Henris chuckled, “Enough, Howard, you always come up with useless ideas. With our brother’s charm, does he really need to use any aphrodisiac?
Maybe right now, our brother is treating Ruby like royalty.”
Edward Woods said, “There is an old saying, make up in bed after a fight. Although our brother and Ruby reconciled quite late and it took three years, but you guys don’t know. Every time the 10th of the month comes around and our brother drives alone to the Red Park Resort & Villas, I feel awful. The manager always calls me to say our brother just sits there all day without eating or drinking. When has our brother ever behaved like this?”
“Actually, it’s not only on the 10th of every month that our brother misses Ruby. Do you guys remember those many times when our brother would just stare blankly at his computer screen in the office?” As Edward Woods brought up the past, Rusell Henris’s expression suddenly sobered up..
