"We're just half a month away from the vacation," Ruby stated.

"And then?" Alexander prompted.

"Do you have any plans for the break?" Ruby inquired.

Alexander's gaze lingered on her face momentarily before answering, "Are you asking about business or personal matters?"

Ruby smiled, "Just making conversation."
