Chapter 574: Chapter 574: Wait a little longer before giving up (14)

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.

Ruby took a deep breath, entered The Burtons’ entrance, and headed straight for their villa.

Steve Burton had wanted to join Rusell Henris, Edward Woods, and the others to watch the fireworks on the mountaintop. But when he got there, after seeing the Gregorys, he subconsciously circled the crowd but didn’t see Ruby. So he made up an excuse and returned to the Burtons.

Everyone at the Burtons’, had either gone to the mountaintop or out to play cards, leaving Steve alone. He casually made himself a cup of coffee and went to sit on his bedroom’s balcony.

He said he wanted to watch the fireworks, but he was really hoping that Ruby, who was in the room next door, would come out when the fireworks started bursting.

However, the fireworks had been going off for quite a while, but she still didn’t show up. In the end, he found the fireworks in the sky somewhat dull, and his entire attention was on the house next door.

There were ten minutes left until the New Year countdown. He could faintly hear two TV sets downstairs at The Gregorys and The Burtons echoing the excited voices of the hosts on the Central Television.]

Just as the host was passionately speaking, darkness suddenly enveloped the villa next door in a flash.

Steve had seen all the Gregorys go to the mountaintop, leaving only Ruby in the villa next door. Now, there was a sudden power outage on New Year’s Eve, and the villa’s property management was on vacation… ƒree𝑤ebnσvel.com

Unconsciously, Steve stood up, went back to his bedroom, put on his coat, and rushed downstairs.

Steve got to the foyer area and had just swapped one shoe when the doorbell rang.

Steve frowned, opened the door with some impatience, and without looking at the person, he bent down to put on the other shoe.

He was tying his shoelaces when he noticed that the person knocking on the door didn’t come in or speak. Only then did he look up with some confusion, and saw Ruby, wearing pajamas and an overcoat, standing at the door with a somewhat awkward expression.

Steve’s expression froze for a moment, and after a long while, he finally stood up straight, staring at Ruby without blinking, and asked, “What’s the matter?”

Ruby hadn’t spoken yet, but her face turned red. She quickly blinked and pointed in the direction of her house, saying, “My house, power outage, do you have any candles?”
