When the elevator stopped on the first floor and the doors opened, Ruby hurriedly pushed Vanessa out, her back soaked in cold sweat. Vanessa noticed Ruby''s fear of Phoebe and frowned. "Phoebe''s not a demon. Why are you so scared?"
Ruby had every reason to be scared. She had once schemed against Phoebe, causing her to miscarry. If Phoebe ever found out, she might push Ruby off a rooftop in revenge. "Vanessa, let''s not provoke her right now. Let''s just heal first," Ruby said, her voice shaking.
Ruby knew her fear of Phoebe was irrational, but she couldn''t help it. Ever since Phoebe had pinned Vanessa against the windowsill that day, Ruby had been haunted by fear. One really shouldn''t do things against their conscience.
Vanessa frowned deeply and watched Phoebe walk away. A dark glint shed in her eyes. ''Phoebe and I are lifelong enemies; I can''t let her be happy at my expense,'' she thought. Vanessa turned back and said, "It''s fine. Let''s rest and recover first. We''ll deal with itter."@@novelbin@@
Ruby finally sighed in relief. She was truly terrified of Phoebe and didn''t want to face her anytime soon.
