Chapter 661 – Finding the Secret Daddy for My Baby Novel

Filed To Story: Finding the Secret Daddy for My Baby Novel

The group walked toward the main hall of the Translation Department, where Victoria was already beautifully dressed and was waiting with the other two heads of the department. When she looked at the man walking by, her chest throbbed violently. Whenever this man appeared, he would always make her go insane from admiration.

People always said that one shouldn’t meet someone who was too outstanding as it would hurt one for a lifetime if one couldn’t be with them. Victoria was in this exact situation-the person she liked was just too outstanding.

When Ren walked over, the two superiors next to Victoria immediately stepped forward and shook hands with him respectfully, then shook hands with the guests one by one before entering the main hall.

In a garden nearby, Inara and Michelle could only look at him from afar, but they were already holding each other in excitement.

“He’s too handsome. It’s like he descended from heaven!” Inara gasped with a look of admiration.

“I really hope that I’d be lucky enough for him to look at me.” Michelle clasped her hands together. “Please give me some luck!”

Inara discreetly sized Michelle up and thought to herself that she would be the one scoring a glance from Ren, given she was the better-looking one.

As Victoria followed behind the crowd. she stared at the man who was exuding attractiveness from every pore at every second, entirely spellbound. Back in the office, Ruka couldn’t bear a second longer here, so she excused herself to go to the restroom.

However, the direction she was heading was toward the main hall. Just as she entered the central garden, she came to a complete stop, as she saw Ren and his group coming in from the other side of the garden.

With her heart raised, Ruka quickly hid behind a pillar. Then, with a behavior that could only be known as a fan girl, she poked her head out from the pillar and watched the tall man communicating with the guests from a dozen meters away. The man at work gave off a distinct quality, a riveting one. Even when standing next to the taller foreign guests. the man still didn’t lose out, as he exuded a captivating presence in the midst of his cheerful conversation. If the people around him were like the stars in the night sky, then he was the moon-the center of attention.

It was at this moment that Ruka had a thought: Why did the man ieel distant even though he was just mere meters away from her? But, she knew very well why.

The distance she felt came from the difference in their identities, in their social status in society. With how dignified and distinguished the man was, he was in a far higher position than that of a common man. On the other hand, she was just part of the ordinary mass of society with nothing to her that was worth mentioning.

Unwittingly, even at such a time, she remembered the incident last night and how he asked her to go out with him. She couldn’t help but doubt just why such an excellent man would fall for someone like her.

Ruka felt she wasn’t someone outstanding, as she was just a very ordinary person. Even now as she stood behind the pillar, having no notable achievements under her belt, her future remained blank. With all these facts, she wondered just why that man liked her.

No matter how much she racked her brains over this, she couldn’t find an answer.

Ruka’s plan was to spend a few years in the Translation Department, as it would help her to get into the Public Relations Department. This way, she would be able to work with her parents and even take care of them in the future.

Unaware she was completely dazed, she came back to her senses to find that the group of people was already close to her. Panicked, as she couldn’t continue being sneaky behind the pillar, she walked out from behind the pillar and stood at the side with her head lowered, waiting for the group to pass.

Ren had his eyes on Ruka the moment she appeared from behind the pillar. His eyes lingered on her and, as though her appearance had drowned out the voices of his guests, he smiled delightedly.

Just then, she coincidentally raised her head to find he was smiling at her. The two made eye contact with one another among the crowd. One pair of eyes was captivating and had a deep gaze, while the other was filled with flustered nervousness. Yet, the two hadn’t the slightest intent to look away from one another.

This spark the two had for each other was caught on by Victoria, who had clenched her fists in jealousy. So, their relationship has already become an uncontrollable one.

In the end, Ruka was the first to lower her head, as she didn’t dare to continue being frivolous with him, especially at such a time. The consequences should they were found to be doing so would be dire after all.

Just like that, Ren passed Ruka by. Nonetheless, his gaze seemed to shake her heart to its very core, as though the man had filled her heart to the brim.

She had never felt like this before. Even when she had a crush on other boys in the past, it wasn’t as strong as what she was feeling right now. What she felt right now was so strong that it touched the depths of her heart, so much so that she could feel the tremor of her heart echoing in her ears.

Just as Ruka wanted to peek at the man, she felt a sharp glare at her. The moment she turned her head in the direction of the glare, she found Victoria coming toward her.

Victoria dragged her by the hand to one of the empty corners. Gritting her teeth, she said. “Ruka, I’m warning you. Stay away from him. You’ll ruin him.”

Ruka held her breath while listening to Victoria, as the latter’s gaze indicated to her that she wanted to kill her at this moment.

“He was born into a high position. Do you think he would renounce it in favor of a girl like you? If you dare seduce him again, I wouldn’t mind dragging both of you through the mud.” Victoria’s voice was tinged with intimidation. “I will announce to the world about your relationship.

By then, he will be subjected to the public’s malice. After all, who would protect a man who would even go after his sister’s goddaughter? Not only will his morality and character be questioned, but it’ll also be impossible for the two of you to be together.”

Desperate and helpless upon her words, Ruka stared at Victoria with tears in her eyes. Her words were just like a knife that had stabbed right at her heart, and she felt it could end her life at any moment now.

“You better remember my words.” After Victoria gave her warning, she left Ruka and went back to Ren’s group.

Left in the corner, Ruka found herself panting heavily, her breathing turning ragged, as though she just had a near death experience. Momentarily losing the strength in her knees, she held onto the wall for support. She thought back on how cold and harsh Victoria’s words were, as though they were meant to rob her life with every word she said.

Making him the subject of the public’s criticism? For him to be despised and spurned by the public? No! I’ll never let him be humiliated like that! she thought with one hand over her heart. As she closed her eyes from the aches in her heart, tears started running down her cheeks.

Ruka leaned against the wall for some time when one of the cleaning ladies came over and asked in concern, “Are you alright? Are you not feeling well?”

“I’m fine. Thank you.” With her hand on the wall, she stood up and bowed as thanks before heading in the office’s direction with her head hung. She couldn’t help but stumble on the way back, so she decided to head into the restroom to refresh herself.

As she washed her face, she noticed droplets of water running down her cheeks. Though she was unsure if it was the water from the tap or tears from within, she pursed her lips and desperately suppressed her urge to cry. Just then, someone came out from the cubicle, which prompted her to lean forward and continue splashing her face with water.

Meanwhile, in one of the lounges of the Translation Department. After the guests were served tea, Ren came out with his phone and said to Elijah, “Bring me to her office.”

After Elijah asked one of the nearby employees, the said employee showed them to Ren’s desired destination, to which the latter followed as he took a step forward.

It was at this time that Ruka just came back from the restroom. Upon opening the door to the internship office, she found Caspian reading a book inside. The moment the latter saw how pale she looked, he stood up in a hurry and said, “Ruka, are you okay?”

Slightly dumbfounded, she casually took a seat by the door before she shook her head. “I’m fine.”

“You don’t look so good.” Caspian brought her mug and gave it to her. “Here, drink some water.”

As Ruka took a sip of water, Caspian’s eyes lit up with hints of shyness. He then went back to his desk and took out a beautifully wrapped box from the drawer before walking back to her. “Ruka, this is for you.”

Surprised by the gift, she immediately stood up. “Caspian, what are you…”

“It’s your birthday present. I’m not sure if it’ll be to your liking,” Caspian explained while bashfully touching his head. “Open it. See if you like it.”

Upon Caspian’s words, Ruka was both confused and grateful. However, as she had forgotten to close the office door, there was a tall attractive figure standing just outside. The man did not enter the office, but merely stood outside and watched Caspian shyly handing Ruka a gift.

“It’s just a small token of appreciation, so just accept it.” Caspian was determined in handing his gift to Ruka.

Oblivious to the eyes of the figure outside the office, Caspian and Ruka locked eyes with one another. Although Ruka hesitated slightly, she accepted the gift in the end. “Thank you. I’m sure I’ll like it, whatever it may be.”
