A pair of long legs stretched over the door. The remnant glow of the evening sunlight shone upon the man, who was donned in a black suit. His fringe was combed to the back to expose his forehead and deep eyes, enhancing his mature aura. The formidable air exuded from him into the air.
“Mr. Husson, you’re here. One of the maids, who was in the middle of the cat search, hastily welcomed him..
Ren scanned the whole yard and saw that the maids were all leaning over to look for something. His brows knitted. “What are you guys looking for?”
“We’re looking for your cat. It has run out. of the study room, but we still can’t find it after searching the yard.” The glint in his eyes dimmed. “Where’s Ruka?”
“She’s searching for the cat among the bushes outside.”
Hearing that, he wheeled around to head outside, but the bodyguard stopped him instantly. “Mr. Husson, I think it’ll be better if you don’t go outside. I’m worried that-”
“It’s alright.” He ignored the advice and strode toward the little gate at a fast pace while two bodyguards followed suit.
Ren walked out of the bushes area of the garden and saw a white silhouette weaving through the nearby shrubs. Who could it possibly be other than Ruka?
Oblivious of someone’s arrival, Ruka suddenly heard a meow coming from between the two shrubs. Surprised and elated, she squirmed into the opening like a female warrior charging forward. There were two branches stuck in her. hair, but she was unfazed. Despite being covered in dirt, she was not bothered in the slightest.
However, once she saw the cat in between the bushes, she was utterly disappointed. because it was a stray cat. As soon as it noticed someone was approaching, it hopped into another bush and disappeared.
“Ruka.” A man’s frosty voice tinged with concern could be heard from outside the bushes.
Ruka was paralyzed in surprise. The voice… Is it Mr. Ren?
She quickly retreated backward. Since she was wearing jeans, it was not that awkward. However, she seemed like a crazy woman the moment she squirmed out of the bush. There were a few dry leaves stuck in her messy hair and some stains on her fair face. Her hands and clothes were dirtier with bloodstains.
“Mr. Ren, I’m sorry. I lost your cat.” Like a child in the wrong, she lowered her head as she prepared herself to be chided.
Still, Ren noticed the bloodstains on her finger with his keen eyes. Marching forward, he grabbed her hand to take a look. “You’re hurt.”
I’m alright. It’s just a scratch and it doesn’t hurt.” She hurriedly withdrew her hand and shook her head since it was urgent to search for his cat.
Looking at the dry leaves and twigs on her hair, he gently removed them for her. She was surprised for a few seconds while standing still to let him do the job.
After removing the grasses off her head, he ordered in a low voice, “Wash up and bandage your finger.”
“But your cat- Her eyes slightly widened. She would never return without the cat.
“I’ll look for her.” Gazing at her pathetic state akin to a little kitten, Ren let out a chuckle.
Embarrassed, she could not help but glanced at him. “What are you laughing at?”
“Nothing. Let’s go.” He then patted her shoulder. “Trust me. I can find her.” The intense regret filled her heart, for she had not foreseen herself losing his cat upon borrowing it.
“Sorry…” apologized Ruka with downcast eyes as her long lock covered her ears.
“Don’t be silly,” he chided lightly while raising his hand, which stiffened in midair before he withdrew it.
No one knew what he was going to do except for him-he almost tucked her strands of hair behind her ear.
“Miss Singed, you should return home. We’ll help Sir find the cat,” a bodyguard suggested. The bodyguards intended to escort Ren back into the house before he caused a ruckus by exposing himself in the public.
In the end, Ruka could only return home first. One of the bodyguards told Ren, “Sir, we can search the cat for you. You may return to the residence.”
Ren waved his hand and raised his head to scan the area. Next, he rounded toward the backyard. Though Ruka had previously searched around this area, the bushes behind the walls of the garden were outside her radar.
Once she arrived at the yard, the maids came up to her and reported that they did not see the cat anywhere upon looking at every nook and cranny of the place. Obviously, the kitten had escaped outside the yard.
“What am I going to do?” Her face scrunched up in distress. Where can a little kitty possibly go? What if she’s hit by a car on the road? Or kidnapped by a lunatic to be tortured?
Forget about taking a bath, she did not even wash her face. However, the maids noticed the bruises on her finger and brought over a band-aid.
A couple of moments later, a commotion happened outside the yard. Ren trod into the place as the beam of golden sunlight gleamed upon him. Nestling in his arms was a little white feline with its slightly dirtied and messy fur. It was none other than Callie!
The juxtaposition of his towering stature and the curled up furball in his arms created a different side of him whom Ruka had never witnessed before. Right at this moment, the idea of morphing into that little furball in his arms to be pampered and overindulged by him suddenly occurred to her.
Her face glowed with red when the notion seeped into her mind due to the embarrassment of having such a thought. Although they were not blood related, she should not have such nonsensical thoughts!
“You found her! Where was she?” She scurried to him in surprise and delight to check on the little kitten.
“She was behind the walls of the garden,” Ren explained while a maid proffered a primordial pouch to him. He then put it into the bag before zipping it. Guess 1 should give her a bath.
“Did she hurt herself anywhere?”
“No. Only her fur is dirty,” he soothed her before facing the maid. “I’ll have dinner here.”
“Madam Falkner has called to inform us that she has an appointment with Old Master Lloyd. We will prepare dinner for you and Miss Singed,” the maid replied.
His brows were slightly knitted together. When the maid turned around, he suddenly added, “Nevermind, then. I’ll take Miss Singed somewhere else for dinner.”
Ruka was baffled as she blinked her beady eyes. “Are we dining out?”
“Hmm. You should wash yourself up and change your clothes. I’ll wait for you,” said Ren.
Her heart palpitated at the thought of going out with him for dinner. The sudden change of plan was a surprise to her, causing her to be jittery because never once had she shared a private meal with him before.
As such, she returned to her room for a shower. Considering how late it was and the possibility of the man growing impatient from all the waiting, she dried her hair and headed downstairs with a bare face. She wanted to put on some light make-up, but there was no time for that.
“Mr. Ren, I’m ready.” She smiled at the man who was sitting on the couch.
She dressed up like a college student-a thin, white down jacket; a pair of jeans and white sneakers.
