Mia pointed at Ruka. Tm telling you, you guys have to watch out for her. Who knows when she’ll have her backer fire all of you one by one so that she can take advantage of the situation?”
Inara retorted with a sneer, “Is she even capable of that?”
Mia recalled what Victoria had said, though. Even my superior has to write a self criticism sa Ruka’s hackaround really isn’t as simple as Inara thinks. However, she wasn’t kind-hearted enough to tell Inara about it.
“In any case, just be careful of her. I’m leaving. Even if I can no longer stay in the translation department, I’ll do very well in another industry, Mia said before leaving.
Ruka covered her ears while being immersed in her own thoughts. Mr. Ren is the one who dealt with this matter and stuck up for me, she thought.
Just then, Victoria’s voice rang at the door. “Ruka, come with me for a minute.”
Ruka stood up and went out with her.
Victoria reached the flower bed nearby. before turning to look at Ruka. “You didn’t hurt yourself last night, did you?”
‘No, I’m fine. Thanks for caring about me, Miss Parfait.”
“If you come across anything next time, just give me a phone call and don’t bother Ren again. You know that with his status, it’s inconvenient for him to be involved in many things,” Victoria said, reminding Ruka.
Ruka’s heart sank. She nodded, saying, “Alright, I’ll try my best not to bother him.”
Victoria couldn’t help but ask again, “I hear that you got into his car last night. Did he send you home?”
Ruka pursed her lips. For a moment, she didn’t know how to answer the question.
A barely noticeable flicker of jealousy flashed across Victoria’s eyes. Did she stay at his place again? “Ruka, let me treat you to dinner this evening. Take it as an occasion to connect with each other and chat about our work,” she suggested with a smile.
Ruka was stunned for a moment. Of course, she knew that this wasn’t the only reason Victoria wanted to have dinner with her. As an intern, however, she couldn’t decline her superior’s invitation to dinner. “Alright, let me treat you to dinner,” she said to Victoria.
“There’s a nice restaurant nearby that does a good job of protecting its customers’ privacy. Let’s meet up after we’ve finished work,” Victoria replied. Then, she patted Ruka on the shoulder and left..
Only Victoria herself knew what she was up to. She wanted to test how much Ren cared about Ruka. She would keep Ruka beside her tonight and see if he would ask her to release Ruka.
What she wanted to know the most was the nature of his relationship with Ruka. She had sent someone to look into it, but the investigation didn’t find out anything. Ruka’s background wasn’t complex, but Victoria had no idea how she had come into contact with Ren.
After clocking out, Victoria personally came to the office and called Ruka away. Ruka came out under the envious eye of everyone. Victoria’s action seemed to show that she really had a powerful background or something.
“Ruka, my car is outside. Let’s go.” Victoria carried herself gracefully with feminine charms while carrying her handbag.
As Ruka looked at Victoria from behind, a question mark popped up in her head. Miss Parfait has been courting Mr. Ren for five years. Why would she fail to win his heart with her good looks? It’s not that I’m belittling myself, but she far surpasses me in terms of our age, our job, and how outstanding we are.
I’m just a rookie who is still wet behind the ears without anything that puts me at an advantage. Why would a man as successful and well-known as Mr. Ren fall in love with me?
Just as she let her mind wander, she came. in front of Victoria’s car and got into the passenger seat, upon which Victoria drove the car and set out.
“Ruka, do you mind telling me about your relationship with Ren?” Victoria asked with smiling eyes. Then, she added, “I think I’ve gotten the wrong idea about you two. I believe what you said last time, and I know that your relationship with him is pure.”
Ruka’s face blushed slightly before she lowered her head with a guilty conscience. “I’m sorry, Miss Parfait, but it’s not convenient for me to talk about him.”
Victoria smiled instead of getting angry. “I know that. His identity is a sensitive issue, after all. Okay, we’re not gonna talk about it, then. Let’s talk about your life abroad over the past few years. Your information shows that you went abroad at 16 years old. You left the country at a young age, huh?”
Ruka let out a secret sigh before saying, “Yeah, I moved to the city where my parents worked to live with them.”
“Then where did you live in the country before you were 16 years old?”
“I lived in my relative’s place most of the time,” Ruka answered without mentioning the Husson Residence.
Victoria turned to glance at Ruka. She felt that Ruka seemed to be hiding something. Seems like I’ve underestimated her. I thought that she’d tell me everything if 1 were to chat with her like a friend. She wondered if the relative Ruka had lived with before she reached 16 years old had anything to do with Ren.
Otherwise, there was no way Ruka would have an opportunity to get to know him while growing up. She knew very well how Ren grew up, but even the timeline showed no connection with the city Ruka had lived in while she was abroad. Therefore, Ren had likely gotten to know Ruka before she reached 16 years old.
Victoria felt as though a fine thread was twisting around her heart. So Ren fell in love with Ruka even earlier than I thought? Was he secretly waiting for her to grow up before I even knew anything?
Such a relationship between childhood playmates did fill her with suspicion and envy. How lucky Ruka was to have a man who was willing to wait for her until he was 33 years old without dating anyone?
Victoria couldn’t help but size Ruka up again through the rearview mirror with piercing eyes. Ruka was looking at the scenery outside the window with a pair of watery eyes that seemed to have not experienced the torture of worldly affairs.
She was lively and vivacious, like a greenhouse flower that had been taken great care of as it grew. Such a lady did have a delicate air about her that made one want to love her tenderly. She was pure, beautiful, and yet fragile-a quality that anyone would yearn for and try to protect.
Victoria laughed at herself inwardly, She had become aggressive at work, as if she could no longer travel back to the days when she was as young and ignorant as Ruka was.
She wished she could also be six years younger and meet the mature, steady, and protective Ren at the same age as Ruka did. If that happened, would she stand a chance of becoming the apple of his eye?
After they arrived at the restaurant, Victoria introduced the place to Ruka..
The restaurant rarely served customers from the outside, so the customers here were all internal employees.
Ruka also understood the difference between the customers from the outside and those from the inside. Ren would probably come to such a restaurant too, she thought.
Victoria asked for a private room and ordered some food. Then, she asked, “Ruka, can you drive?”
Ruka nodded. “Yes, I can. I have my driver’s license.”
“Great. I’m feeling down today, so I’d like to have a couple of drinks later. Remember to drive me home, alright?” Victoria pleaded with her.
Ruka hurriedly advised, “Miss Parfait, you’d better not drink too much alcohol. It’s bad for your health.”
“It’s okay. I can hold my liquor pretty well; I just want to drink a little to vent my emotions. Don’t worry, I won’t act crazy after getting drunk.” Victoria smiled. “I’m going to the washroom.”
Just when she was about to open the door, she heard Ruka’s cell phone ring. She paused for a moment, but after that, she naturally pushed the door open and left.
