“Why don’t you just quit on your own, Ruka?” Mia propped her chin up, a threat lurking behind her bright eyes. “It’s better than being booted!”

Though Ruka was embarrassed, she was not about to back down. “I said, if I’m not qualified to stay, I’ll leave,” she stated flatly.

“Oh, wow! How can you be so sure of yourself? I’m honestly curious about your secret supporter now!” Inara scowled as she thought, I doubt her background or connections to be more superior than mine.

“I heard you’re just the daughter of a regular diplomat, so what’s the big deal?” Ruka’s background had already been looked up by Inara.

At this point, Ruka was taken aback by her counter. Thankfully, a graceful figure entered the room; it was Victoria. When Ruka saw Victoria, her lovely eyes narrowed slightly. Victoria’s beauty shone even brighter under the spotlight. She was the type of woman with a great temperament, aura, and talent.

Victoria took a seat before turning to face the new interns. Finally, she paused in front of Ruka’s face and looked her in the eyes for a few seconds before making her opening remarks.

“We only have three openings this year and I’m sure you are all excellent candidates. I hope to see you guys work hard this internship, and who knows, you could be my next colleague.”

“I’m excited to work with you and grow into a capable person like you, Miss Parfait.” Inara sucked up at her superior quickly.

“Yes! Me too,” Mia added immediately.

“Then, I’ll look forward to your performance,” Victoria said with her lips pursed. “Ruka, even though you came in later than the others, I believe in your ability,” she said while emphasizing Ruka’s name.

“Thank you, Miss Parfait, for your favor,” Ruka quickly expressed her gratitude.

Though Victoria was innocently looking at Ruka, she was actually contemplating a question in her head, What secrets does this girl have? Is she the one Ren likes? After the orientation with the seven interns, Victoria rose to leave before summoning Ruka.

“Ruka, I was tipsy the last time I talked with Ren, so I hope I didn’t scare you!” Victoria said tenderly as she led her to the corridor outside.

“Not at all, Miss Parfait,” Ruka said, shaking her head.

“Oh! By the way, why did Ren invite you to dinner that night? Do you guys have a close relationship?” Victoria persisted in her inquiry.

It was then Ren’s words immediately filled Ruka’s mind. Shaking her head, she explained, “Mr. Husson and I share nothing in common. We just happened to have dinner at the same time by chance.”

“Was it just a coincidence?” Victoria’s eyes narrowed; it was difficult to fool her. Ruka lowered her head, her long eyelashes concealing a twinge of guilt. “Yes, I needed Miss Husson’s help with something. She was not present at the time, so I met with Mr. Husson, who took me out to dinner instead.”

Ren did not strike Victoria as a laid-back individual. Aside from official business, his personal life was low-key and private. Not only did he not appear friendly, he was even a little cold to outsiders.

To her surprise, he casually invited a girl to dinner! This was completely random and absurd.

“If there’s nothing else, Miss Parafit, I’ll be going through the materials.” Ruka refused to be questioned any further.

Victoria patted her and said, “Okay, go ahead! Don’t tell anyone that Ren recommended you.”

Ruka’s cheeks flushed slightly as she heard this.

Yup! Ren introduced me, so our relationship is definitely unusual.

Victoria’s eyes gradually became cold after Ruka entered the conference room. She could tell that Ruka was trying to distance herself from Ren. Is it Ren who taught her that?

Victoria’s heart clenched in pain. The more she inquired, the more information she gathered. Ren was obviously showing Ruka how to defend herself.

Returning to the conference room, Ruka sat at the very back to avoid drawing attention to herself.

But… How could she not gather looks and whispers? Inara had no intention of letting her go nor had the focus to read the entry materials, so she crossed her arms and sneered, “Hey, Ruka. Who did you rely on to get into this department? Why don’t you tell us?”

“She doesn’t appear to be relying on her ability,” Mia responded sarcastically. Ruka ignored them by concentrating on the entry documents. This time, Theodore added fire to the fuel, “Ruka, just say it! Say it to frighten them.”

However, she only continued to ignore them while Michelle hummed, “She doesn’t want to tell us. You know, she probably didn’t come in on the right track.”

Offended by the words, Ruka looked up at Michelle and shot back. “Have some human decency.” “You’re getting agitated. What, was I correct?” Michelle sneered.

When Caspian noticed that everyone was picking on Ruka, he could not help but speak up for her, “Is everyone having fun playing the Mean Girls here? This is not high school, but the Translation Department. Can’t we just try to get along?”

Furious, Inara glared at Caspian before exclaiming, “Why do you care so much about her, Caspian? I suggest you mind your own business. Don’t forget that your father works for my father, and if I’m in a bad mood, I’m not afraid to deliver a few words to my father… You should be aware of the consequences.”

His fist on the table suddenly clenched tightly, clearly in rage.

Ruka raised her eyes at Caspian at this point and a worried expression flashed across her face. She shook her head slightly as he turned to face her, indicating that he did not have to defend her.

Though Caspian only aided her in the name of justice in the beginning, his heart pounded as he gazed into her clear and glimmering eyes; there was determination in her eyes.

Indeed, Ruka had made his heart race. She had an inner attraction in addition to her beautiful appearance.

The team leader eventually arrived and escorted them to their assigned internship positions. Following that, they went to the cafeteria for lunch. Caspian called Ruka from behind as she walked through the garden after lunch.

“Ruka.”

“Thank you for standing up for me earlier,” Ruka thanked him gratefully.

“But I’m not strong enough to silence them.”

“There’s no need for that. It’s natural for them to be disturbed due to my circumstances,” she explained calmly.

“Ruka, please do not hesitate to contact me if you require assistance in the future! I will gladly assist you,” Caspian stated solemnly.

“Thank you very much. Let us encourage, assist, and progress together over the next three months.”

“Okay.” He nodded.

As Ruka was walking down the large garden aisle, she noticed Inara and her friends standing there, looking excited and admiringly in one direction.

“Oh my God! We’re so lucky to have seen him on our first day!” Mia exclaimed, her feet splintering with excitement.
