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

Caspian instantly became happy like a child. “Can I give you a hug?”

Stunned by the request, Ruka was unable to react, as Caspian had already put his arms around her. After a brief moment where she rested her head on the man’s shoulder, he let her go and started his confession in a panicked tone. “Ruka, I like you. I’ve liked you ever since I first met you.”

Ruka was thoroughly dumbfounded by the man’s confession, as Caspian’s confession came out of left field for her. She had accepted his gift thinking that it was because of their friendship.

Nevertheless, it was at this time that a shriek came from outside the door. “Ahh!”

Startled by the shrieks of what seemed to belong to women coming through the door, both Ruka and Caspian turned toward the door and saw Ren standing outside through the glass. Immediately, Ruka widened her eyes in surprise.

How long has he been standing by the door? Although there was a door between them, Ruka could feel Ren’s fervent gaze on her, as though he was displaying his irritation at her.

Caspian was startled as well since he hadn’t expected the vice president to be standing by the door. Just as he excitedly looked at him, he was met with an authoritative gaze, one that gave him chills, as Ren looked at him with a cold expression.

After a brief second, Ren left. Following his departure, Inara and Michelle cried. out in excitement.

“Oh my God! We got to see him up close! If we knew that he would be here, why did we even bother to go outside?!”

“So handsome. Who can resist such an attractive man?!”

It was when the gift in Ruka’s hand had somehow slipped from her hand did she come back to her senses. Startled, she immediately picked it up from the floor and returned to her seat all the while in a panic.

Does that mean he saw Caspian confessing to me? Fraught with anxiety, she had the urge to run after Ren to explain the situation, but couldn’t move a muscle as Victoria’s threat came to mind. Conflicted, she was at a loss for what to do. It was then that her phone rang. She choked a little when she saw that the caller ID belonged to that man who just left. “Hello,” she whispered after she accepted the call.

“Come to the third conference room,” said the man in an authoritative tone with his low and magnetic voice before he ended the call.

After the call ended, Ruka let out a sigh. He probably wants an explanation from me. Then, she stood up and was about to walk out of the room when Michelle asked, “Ruka, where are you going? The restroom?”

“No, I’m going out to make a phone call,” Ruka replied with hints of nervousness in her tone before she left posthaste. Upon entering the conference room, she found Elijah standing there with four other bodyguards standing in line.

Elijah then gave her an implicit look that indicated her to go inside the room, to which she nodded and knocked on the third conference room door before entering the room. There, Ren was sitting with a strange expression on his face; his handsome face was slightly harder to look at than usual.

Afraid of thinking that the man’s expression was because of her, she greeted him as usual. “Mr. Ren, do you need something from me?” Her eyes, however, were looking down at the ground due to her guilty conscience.

With his slender legs crossed, there was a coldness to the man, one that was rarely seen. Although there wasn’t any trace of anger in Ren’s expression, that indifferent demeanor of his was enough to cause others to hold their breath in front of him.

Ruka was doing so at the moment. With her eyes, as big as a puppy was when it did something wrong, tinged with panic, she held her breath as she waited for the man to speak.

“Explain to me just what happened there.” Ren raised his head and gazed deeply at Ruka. His frown indicated he was upset.

Being gazed at the man this way, Ruka couldn’t help but feel aggrieved at how serious Ren’s expression was in questioning her. It’s not like I’ve made a huge mistake. Nevertheless, she reluctantly explained, “He’s Caspian Gibbons, a colleague of mine. He prepared a birthday gift for me, and I hugged him as thanks. That’s all.”

“Did you reject him?” Ren continued his questioning.

Ruka blinked at Ren’s question. Is he talking about Caspian’s confession? It was then that Victoria’s words came back to her mind once more: “I will announce to the world about your relationship. By then, he will be subjected to the public’s malice.”

With Victoria’s words in mind, she pursed her lips briefly before she took a deep breath and said, “I think I like him, so I’m considering accepting his confession.

Mr. Ren, I’m sorry, but I can’t reciprocate your feelings. Our age gap is just too big. Plus, I prefer someone around my age.” When she finished speaking her mind, she hung her head low, as she hadn’t the courage to face the man. Then, without a moment’s delay, she ran out of the room.

The man, who was left behind, had his lips tightly pressed together in a small frown. His Adam’s apple constantly moved up and down as he tried to suppress the surge of emotions coming from within.

As Ruka left the room, she bumped into Elijah, even though the latter had tried to avoid her. “Miss Singed. However, she couldn’t greet him back, as tears welled in her eyes.

She was afraid of others seeing through her sadness, so she wanted to find a place to be alone for a while. Hence, she went to the restroom and hid in one of the compartments. Whenever she lifted her head, her small face was full of tears as an inexplicable sadness continued to wash over her.

By the door, Elijah kept glancing at his watch, as they had plans to accompany the guests to their next destination. However, the man he was waiting for inside hadn’t left the room.

Afraid that he would disturb the man, he couldn’t enter the room and could only stew in anxiety. If I’m not mistaken, Miss Singed looked sad with her eyes red when she left the room. Did Sir quarrel with her?

Finally, the door of the conference room opened and Ren stepped out with his usual indifferent expression. “Let’s go,” he said to Elijah.

“Sir, are you alright?” Elijah was worried, and he couldn’t help but continue, “Miss Singed didn’t-”

With a slight frown, Ren stopped in his tracks and turned his head to Elijah. “What about her?”

“She didn’t look too good,” replied Elijah. After a faint sigh, Ren said, “Where’s Victoria’s office? Bring me there.” Elijah nodded as a response and led Ren toward a hallway.

Meanwhile, Victoria had just returned to her office. She was originally happy when she knew Ren was still around. However, she never thought that he would ignore her the entire time he was around. This made her heart grow cold, which was why she had ruthlessly said those things to Ruka. She really hated it.

Just then, Victoria’s assistant entered in a hurry and said, “Mr. Husson is coming here. Miss Parfait, hurry and fix your makeup!”

Immediately on her feet, Victoria excitedly asked, “Really? Is he really coming this way?”

“Yes! I think he’s here to see you.” Since this assistant of Victoria’s had been with. her for many years, she naturally knew that Ren was someone she fancied.

Victoria then opened her drawer and took out the makeup kit that she had just put away. After carefully checking her makeup and doing some brief touch-ups, she heard footsteps coming from outside her office. Suppressing the intense excitement on her face, she put on a natural, charming smile. Why is he coming here so suddenly?

Does he have something to say to me? No matter the reason, she wanted to present the best of herself to him. Then, the door opened. The moment Ren entered the office, the door was shut behind him.

With her breathing turning slightly irregular and her heart beating faster, Victoria pointed at the couch and said, “Ren! Come, have a seat.”

“I’ll be leaving after a few words,” Ren said indifferently.

Victoria’s heart ached briefly as she realized that the man was here for another purpose, and not as a friend like she originally thought. “Go ahead.” She took a deep breath as she waited for Ren to speak.

“Did you say something to Ruka recently?” Ren asked with his somber gaze on Victoria, his tone slightly interrogative.

Victoria already had a hunch about what Ren was going to say. Once she confirmed her hunch was true, her excitement instantly turned into bitterness and sorrow. “Ren, just how inferior to Ruka do you think I am?” Her eyes welled with tears of resentment and jealousy. She wanted to know from the man himself why she had lost to Ruka.

“I’m warning you once more: Outsiders have no right to meddle in the affairs between me and Ruka. If you fill her mind with nonsense behind my back, then you better be ready for the consequences.” Ren warned Victoria as he glared at her, as though he knew what she had done.
