“Did you get a fright? Ruka asked sympathetically.

“What do you think?! I was frightened out of my wits. If something bad had happened to you, would he have skinned me alive?”

“That’s enough. I’ll have to stay at your place for the time being for the next month or so. Am I welcome to stay with you?”

“Why?”

“Aunt Scarlet will be going overseas and she won’t be back until next month, so I’ve got nowhere to stay. It’s been ages since anyone tidied up my house. Besides, I’m afraid to stay by myself, so 1 plan to crash at your place.”

“Sure, just come over then. Is the vice president your biological uncle?”

“No, he’s Aunt Scarlet’s brother and that’s why I have to address him as Mr. Ren. I’ve only met him less than ten times in my life since I was a child,” Ruka explained.

“But he took you into his arms and carried you into the car. Did you touch him inappropriately in the car?” Rita’s teasing voice clearly indicated that she wanted to listen to Ruka make a fool of herself.

“You’re so annoying! What’s exactly going on in your mind?” Ruka chided Rita with a roll of her eyes. “Gosh, it’s so silly of you to let this opportunity go to waste. If I were in your position, I would have hugged him tightly in my drunken state.”

Ruka’s pretty face burned as she hastily replied, “That’s enough. Stop talking about this. I need to get back to work.”

“Go ahead then. Bring me along next time if you have the chance to meet him. I want to catch another glimpse of him.”

“Sure. I’ll let you know once I get the chance. Ruka was unable to promise Rita anything. After all, not everyone was able to meet Ren just like that.

Ruka went back to the office, and as she walked past the corridor, Mia purposely stuck out her feet to trip Ruka. Ruka stumbled to the front and somehow landed on Caspian. Caspian reached out to steady Ruka. “Are you alright?”

Ruka shook her head. “I’m fine.” After Ruka said that, she turned around and stood in front of Mia while staring at the latter with an angry expression. “Why did you do that?”

Mia faced Ruka fearlessly. “What did I do? I was just stretching my legs and hips, that’s all. I didn’t expect you to trip over me. My leg hurts now because of you! Aren’t you going to apologize to me?”

“You…” Ruka’s pretty face turned red out of anger.

“Mia, we’re all colleagues here. This is too much!” Caspian came over and stood up for Ruka.

‘Gosh, Caspian. Don’t tell me that you’ve really fallen for her. We’re not just ordinary colleagues. Each of us are rivals too. You need to watch out. She might be the one to eliminate you.” Mia sneered coldly and got up before turning to Michelle, ‘Do you need a toilet break?”

Michelle instantly got up and went out with Mia. Ruka went back to her spot and massaged in between her brows. She could still feel the lingering headache due to the after-effects of too much alcohol.

She clicked into her email and saw that there was an urgent assignment meant to test the interns’ skills, and the ten thousand-word Chinese assignment had to be handed in before eight in the morning the next day.

Ruka was dumbfounded by that, and upon. scanning the details of the assignment, she realized that the assignment was. about a topic that she wasn’t familiar with.

At that moment, Caspian came over and asked her, “Ruka, have you seen the email?”

“Yes, I’ve seen it. It’s quite a complicated assignment, Ruka responded.

“Don’t worry. There is an old book depository in the Translation Department, and there is plenty of information on this topic there. I’ve just come back from the book depository. You should go over to search for the answers too,” Caspian gave her some pointers.

“Thank you.” Ruka nodded with an expression full of gratitude.. “You can go over there any time after work too. It’s a public information site, so it’s always open.”

Ruka smiled. “Sure thing.”

Ruka was still busy composing her assignment even when it was time to clock off. After making multiple corrections to her draft, she finally made up her mind and ended up paying a visit to the book depository. She registered on the internal operating system and entered the place. Just as she walked in, Mia’s figure suddenly appeared from behind.

Mia saw Ruka walk inside, and Mia took another look at the iron gates before sneering coldly. Ruka, you’ll just have to spend the night inside!

Inside the room, Ruka managed to find a book that would be quite useful for her topic, so she took a seat in front of the french windows and started perusing the book. As the lights started to get dimmer, she took a look at her wristwatch and noticed that it was now seven o’clock at night.

She got up and walked to the entrance, but she saw that the door-which was. open when she walked in-was now shut. She reached out to twist the doorknob,. but the door appeared to be locked from the outside.

“Is there anyone outside? I need some help please.” Ruka voiced out toward the door, but she didn’t receive any response at all.

She realized that this was an old book depository and that there were no offices along the entire corridor. Everyone would have hit off from work by now, so there wouldn’t be anyone available to help her.

The sky started to darken outside, and she reached out to flick the switch to switch on the lights. However, the lights were non-functional and despite her multiple tries, there was no power at all. She started to panic by then. What’s going on here? The door’s locked and now even the lights are non-functional?

The door was locked because Mia had placed a lock outside the door and the lights were non-functional because the switches to the room were on the other end of the corridor so Mia had conveniently flicked the switch off the main power board.

Therefore, the entire corridor to the book depository turned into a pitch black area.

Ruka hollered loudly for quite some time, but no one turned up. She started to develop fear by then because the entire book depository had descended into complete darkness. She would have to spend the night here if no one turned. up.

At that moment, Ruka took out her cell phone and was about to call for help, but she wondered, Who can I seek help from?

Access to the Translation Department was monitored strictly and only authorized personnel were allowed entry, so there was only one person that popped into Ruka’s mind whom she could seek help from.

Ren was the only person she could think of. All he had to do was make a call to the Translation Department office, and surely he would be able to send someone to rescue her.

Ruka felt embarrassed when she recalled how Ren had hung up on her today. It feels so embarrassing to ask him for help while refusing to live at his place. Still, she had no intention of spending the night here. Taking out her cell phone, she found his phone number and called him, nervously waiting for the phone call to be answered..

Ren’s deep and husky voice sounded especially charming in the quiet and spacious study. “Hello.”

“Hey, Mr. Ren, are you busy? I have a favor to ask of you,” Ruka asked with ant ingratiating note in her voice.

“Mm-hmm. Shoot!” The man’s voice sounded emotionless.

She pleaded, “I’m now locked inside the translation department’s library. Could you please call the department’s office to send someone to get me out of here?” She felt mortified for having to bother the vice president with such a trifling matter.

His voice instantly took on a hint of urgency. “How did you get locked in there?”

“I lost track of time while reading just now. Perhaps the person who locked the door didn’t realize that I was still inside. Also, the lights here aren’t working. It’s so dark. I’m scared,” she said as she aired her grievances.
