Chapter 173 His Coldness

Ruby simply nodded. "Yes. But I won't be able to come today. My husband is ill, and I need to take care of him."

She didn't reveal any more details.

Sylvia didn't press further, she just nodded in understanding.

"Alright. I'll let you off today."

When Sylvia's assistant returned with the money, she handed Ruby her payment.

As Ruby reached out to take it, Sylvia reminded her with a firm voice, "But don't neglect your work next week. We're moving locations to Hollowwood Village."

Ruby froze for a moment.

Her eyes widened in surprise, then lit up with excitement.

"Oh! That's my village!" she blurted out, unable to hide her reaction.

Sylvia raised a brow, amused. "Oh? Then that means you can come to work daily, right?"

Ruby hesitated for a second. She wasn't sure if she'd be able to manage everything once she returned home.

"I'll see… Maybe," she replied vaguely, not making any promises.
