Substitute Wife For The Blind CEO

Chapter 28: I’m Leaving

After breakfast, Ruby carefully wrapped a few slices of toast, some fruit, and leftover sausages in a napkin, stuffing them into a small covered tray. She glanced around the dining room before slowly making her way toward the stairs.

She hoped no one would notice. Especially not Stefan. He had been escorted by Martin to the room to get a document he had said he wanted to drop off at the office but had been forgetting. fr.e ewe.bno.vel .com

Just a quick trip. I’ll drop the food off and be back down before anyone wonders where I went, she told herself.

Though that was the plan, she hoped she wouldn’t be compelled to stay there longer than was necessary.

Her cheek warmed up when she thought about the kiss and she couldn’t help but ask herself whether or not she should tell Rayna about it.

What would she say though? Would she chide her or tell her she was falling for Stefan which she knew was probably true. She’d think about what to do or say when she gets to the room.

As Ruby climbed the stairs with careful, quiet steps, she reached the hallway and turned the corner, only to stop dead in her tracks.

A maid was standing right in front of the room, holding cleaning supplies and staring at the door like something was off.

Ruby’s heart jumped into her throat immediately she saw her. What was she doing there? Why was she looking like that? She thought in panic.

The maid turned slightly and saw Ruby. Her eyes widened when she noticed the tray in Ruby’s hands and she couldn’t help but wonder why Ruby was taking food to her room when she’d just had food.

Was somebody in the room? She mused, her brows furrowing in confusion.

For a second, Ruby almost blurted out an excuse when she saw the confusion on the maid’s face.
