What splendid news indeed… Ruby Gregory's countenance suddenly grew cold. She pressed her lips tightly together, casting a sidelong glance at Steve Burton before turning to Rusell Henris to say, "I want to see her now."
Rusell turned his head towards Steve and when he saw him nod, he finally agreed saying, "All right, I'll arrange it now."
Having said this, Rusell twisted his lips into a faint smile, grabbed his cell phone, and went to the side to place a call.
After half a minute, Rusell hung up the call and returned to Steve Burton and Ruby Gregory, "It's been arranged. She's in private room number 1305."
