“Hm?” The man was upset at being interrupted yet again.
“To the room.” She could not accept doing it in the living room.
Even though Richard could not hold on any longer, he still chose to go to the master bedroom out of respect for his significant other.
With the accompaniment of their assistant, Scarlet and her husband were waiting at the arrival terminal in Averna International Airport. Watching the people pour out from the airport, they finally found a woman with long hair in a black coat paired with jeans walking out with a suitcase.
However, the simple outfit could not hide her youthful aura as the surrounding crowd’s gazes were drawn to her. With fair skin and bright eyes paired with her luscious lips, nobody could divert their eyes away from her.
“Aunt Scarlet! Uncle Walter!” The woman immediately waved at them happily.
“Ruka.” Scarlet became teary-eyed. She had been by her side since Ruka was three years old as she raised her until she was sixteen, so she had treated her like her own daughter.
Walter also showed a gentle smile. This was the daughter of his closest friend, but due to work, they had to be abroad for long periods of time. Besides that, the country in question was a dangerous one, so they had to let Scarlet take care of Ruka for sixteen years.
Scarlet walked quickly and hugged Ruka before stating, “You’re even taller than me now.”
Hugging her, Ruka responded, “I missed you guys so much!”
“Us too. Looks like you get to live with us again this time.”
“Yup! I’m going to accompany you two and be a filial daughter.” Ruka truly loved them.
“Looks like we don’t have to worry about our lives in the future.” Scarlet smiled at her husband.
“You said it well.” Walter smiled happily.
The assistant carried the luggage to the car outside while Ruka and Scarlet were chatting. Even though she was already twenty-three years old, she still acted like a child when facing Scarlet.
“Ruka, I’ve contacted the translation department for you and they’ve given you a position as an intern. Take a break for now. You can have a look at it a few days later. You should grab hold of this chance to work at the department.”
“Really? Thank you, Aunt Scarlet. I will not let you down. Ruka was very glad to have obtained the chance as well since she wanted to be like her parents and be a person that served the country.
“Oh right, haven’t you always wanted to see Richard? He’s here too.” “Right. Richard has always been someone that I looked up to. Although I haven’t officially met him, he’s like a brother in my heart.” Ruka nodded.
“He’s about to get married, so you’ll have a sister-in-law soon.”
Smiling, Ruka replied, “My sister-in-law must be a gentle beauty, then.”
Scarlet nodded and said proudly, “You’re very right on that point.”
“Being so exceptional, Richard must have met someone just as capable as he is.” Even though Ruka did not grow up by her parents’ side, she still received all the love she needed. This meant that her actions were all genuine and kind.
Returning to the Husson Residence, Ruka began unpacking before heading downstairs to give Scarlet and Walter presents. “Aunt Scarlet and Uncle Walter. these are some presents for the both of you. I hope that you’ll like them.”
“Oh, we’ll love anything that you give us.”
Scarlet accepted them happily when a servant came to inform her upon receiving a call, “Madam, the vice president mentioned that he wanted to dine here tonight.”
“Really? Prepare a few more dishes, then.” Scarlet had not seen her brother for quite some time now.
Ruka blinked. “Is Mr. Ren coming?”
When she went abroad, he had yet to ascend to the position of vice president. Now, he was one of the most influential people in the country.
Scarlet smiled and nodded. “That’s right. Ren is coming over. You two have some catching up to do.” Ruka did feel a bit estranged, yet the memories about Ren were deeply ingrained in her.
She remembered that her position fell by twenty in the mid term exams when she was fifteen. When she saw the results, she cried sadly while soaking in the rain on her way home.
While walking, she was knocked over by a man on a bike, which made her bawl even louder. It was then she bumped into Ren, who got down the car and took her home. On the way back, he scolded her harshly, making her sob ever sadder. What an embarrassing flashback.
Since then, she had been actively avoiding Ren, for she had feared how stern he was.
“H-He’s the vice-president now?” Ruka was in disbelief as to how he got the position at such a young age.
Smiling, Scarlet asked, “Why? Are you afraid of him?”
Indeed, she was a bit afraid of him. Now that he’s the vice-president, doesn’t that mean that he would only be more imposing?But, even if I’m scared of him, I can’t just say it out loud. Though they were not related by blood and he was technically not her uncle, she still treated and respected him as one.
Scarlet, who noticed Ruka spacing out, comforted her, “You don’t need to be so scared of him. After all, it’s not as if he’ll devour you. You just have to catch up with him during dinner. If you build a proper rapport, he can even look after you when you work in the translation department.”
Ruka nodded shyly, thinking that she might have unknowingly used nepotism to get the job.
“Rest up now! I’ll call you when it’s time for dinner,” said Scarlet.
“Okay. I’ll go take a nap then.” Ruka went back to her room. The long flight back home had left her so fatigued that she slept all the way till evening.
It was that time when a black sedan slowly drove to the courtyard of the Husson Residence.
As the bodyguard opened the door, a tall figure emerged from the car, emanating a very dominating aura. The butler, who was trimming the tree, wanted to quickly climb down the ladder to greet him when the ladder tilted to one side due to his hastiness, which caused it to fall toward Ren.
Fortunately, Ren’s bodyguard stabilized the ladder in time before angrily stating, “You nearly hit the vice-president.” “I do apologize, sir. I only wanted to come down and greet you.” The butler was shocked as he merely wanted to pay his respect.
“It’s fine. Just be careful.” The man had a calm voice with no signs of anger. This only made the butler even guiltier. The vice-president’s temper really commands one’s respect.
Meanwhile, Scarlet was cleaning the vegetables with the servants in the kitchen, as she wanted to cook Ruka’s favorite dish tonight. With her absolute favorite being the barbeque pork ribs, Scarlet made sure to personally cook for her with lots of love.
In the living room, Ren was sitting on the couch when he looked in the direction of the staircase and asked, “I heard that Miss Singed is back, right?” The servant informed him, “Yes, Young Mistress Ruka is still resting upstairs. She is very tired from the flight back.” In this household, Ruka was addressed as the young mistress.
“Oh!” Ren loosened his tie, his handsome face looking unbothered.
