“Have some tea, Mr. Husson. Old Master Lloyd has gone out, but I believe he’ll be back soon. Madam Falkner is in the kitchen cooking for the young mistress.”

“Alright.” He nodded and sipped on the tea.

Sitting on the couch, he decided to stand up and walk around after ten minutes or so since he had been sitting all day in his office. Remembering that there was a study on the second floor and that his brother-in-law had a lot of books there, he wanted to do some reading to kill time.

Meanwhile in the master bedroom on the second floor, Ruka was already awake. She had just unpacked the books she brought home this time and was thinking of putting them in the study as she knew that Walter liked to read. That was why half of her suitcase was allocated for just the books.

In one go, she carried all the books from her room before getting startled by a silhouette upon exiting.

“Ah!” The books in her hand all fell with a huge commotion.

Stunned, the first thing Ren saw was a stunning, youthful lady.

“Long time no see, child.” He smirked and bent down to pick up the books.

“Oh my, Mr. Ren, let me do it!” Ruka quickly crouched down, wanting to get ahead of him when she saw him picking up the books. However, instead of grabbing the book, she grabbed the man’s slender yet large pair of hands.

Realizing what she had done, she quickly withdrew her touch and picked a few books as the man did the same before rising to his feet.

“Did you buy these recently?” Ren looked at the books and asked her.

“Yup. I brought them from abroad. You can hand them over to me, Mr. Ren. I’m going to put them in the study.”

“I’ll help you,” the man uttered in a low tone before walking to the direction of the study.

Entering the room, they saw that lower racks of the bookshelves were packed completely full, so they could only arrange them on top.

Setting the books on the table, Ruka took a small ladder out of a dark corner and propped it against the bookshelf before taking two books with her up the ladder.

“Be careful,” he reminded her from behind.

“I’ll be fine. I do this all the time!” She smiled. Since she was an avid reader, she was used to climbing up ladders against bookshelves.

Yet, she did not expect that in the harsh winter, a mouse would be hiding inside the warm shelf. Just as she slotted the book in, the little mouse was startled by this movement.

Squeak, squeak! The mouse instantly crawled out from the little corner and jumped toward Ruka’s face.

“Aaahhhh!” Frightened, she waved her arms, causing her to fall backward.

In the meantime, Ren was already prepared to catch her. The moment she fell, her back collided with the man as he quickly caught her waist.

The flustered Ruka was still trembling as she pointed toward the bookshelf. “T There’s a mouse.”

Slowly letting go of her, he patted her back. “It’s okay.”

The man’s low tone somehow calmed the woman down as she turned around involuntarily. Due to the dim moonlight refracted into the room, she could not see his features properly, but she could sense the glimmer in his eyes.

“I have to chase it away. What if it ruins the books?” Even though Ruka was petrified earlier, she found her courage back as she was looking around for something. Suddenly, she let out a smile. “I’m going to borrow a cat and chase the mouse away tomorrow!”

Ren did not know if he was infected by her smile, but he started smiling as well as he stared at her face. The dimples on his face made their appearance, rendering him too adorable to not look at.

Ruka just so happened to look at him and was instantly attracted. Although she had seen a lot of people with dimples over the years, he had the most attractive pairs out of them all!

Smiling, she tilted her head and teased, “Mr. Ren, when are you going to introduce my aunt to me?”

He could not help snorting this. “You sure are a busybody.”

“Of course I’m worried about your marriage. I’m wondering which girl would be so lucky as to get married to the youngest and most handsome vice president of our country!” Ruka beamed widely before taking the books and climbing the ladder again.

Yet, he stepped ahead and snatched the books away. “Let me do it!”

“Be careful then.” She held the ladder for him as Ren easily put the books up.

Moments later, he held onto a book and asked her, “Would you lend me this?” “Of course.” She was a bit elated since it was an honor for the vice-president to read the book she picked out!

It was then her phone rang. Fishing it out from her pocket, she saw that it was from her close friend, Michael Yves.

“Hey, Mike!” she answered happily.

“Why didn’t you call after you arrived? Didn’t you say that you were going to send me a message?”

“Uhm, I forgot about that. I’m sorry. I was too excited to be back. Then, I slept and forgot all about it. Please forgive me, Mikey!”

Ruka, who was chatting along, did not notice Ren’s gaze on her as he seemed to be lost in thought.

“It’s fine. Since I’m coming back tomorrow, you just have to treat me to a feast.”

“Alright, when you come back, I’ll treat you to a feast.” Ruka smiled, showing a very gentle face as her eyes glimmered and her pearly-white teeth showed.

Ren just so happened to catch a glimpse of this and felt a certain wave of emotions for a second there. Noticing a gaze on her, she turned around.

With lightning speed, the man diverted his gaze and looked at the book in his hands.

Seeing that he was reading, she went out of the room to chat, not wanting to bother him.

After around six minutes, she came back in to find the man sitting on the couch while still reading the book. In a white shirt paired with black vest and pants, the man flicked through the pages with his slender long fingers while lowering his eyes.

At that sight, her heart could not help but skip a beat. So, this is what class, elegance, and dignity look like. These words were perfect to describe her uncle!

Since they were not about to have dinner right away, Ruka decided to sit down and read too.
