Ren padded to the side of the bed, flipped the blanket open, and lay down. As he tenderly watched the girl in a deep sleep, he gently wrapped his arms around her so she could sleep in his arms. After he had completed his work and satisfied some of his desire earlier, he could finally hold her and sleep soundly.
Still, before he closed his eyes, he gently kissed her forehead again. “Happy birthday, Ruka.”
The next morning, as the sun shone through the window, Ruka was the first to wake up and was startled to find herself sleeping in Ren’s arms. His handsome face was right in front of hers, a couple of inches away.
Being able to look at him up close took her breath away. He had such healthy, glowing skin and did not look like he was over 30 years old at all. His firm skin, prominent features, and thick curly lashes that cast shadows upon his face made him wholly captivating.
Her gaze inadvertently landed on his lips. She felt parched the moment she recalled last night’s passionate kiss that made her head spin.
She dared not wake him up because she did not know when he went to sleep. Hence, she slowly and carefully extracted herself from his embrace and got out of bed. As she checked the time, she covered her mouth in shock. It was 9.30AM. She had been sleeping for far too long.
Thus, she hurriedly opened the door and surprisingly found Elijah, the doctor, and the nurse waiting outside. She could not help but blush as Elijah inquired her about Ren. “Is Sir awake?”
“He’s still sleeping,” Ruka answered.
“Okay. You might want to go next door to have breakfast, Miss Singed. We can let him sleep longer,” Elijah suggested. While eating, she received a call from her friend, Rita. Rita remembered her birthday and decided to treat her to a celebration meal.
Ruka was delighted to accept her invitation since her parents were not by her side. Scarlet and Walter were out of the country, too. Therefore, it would be an understatement to say that she would be more than happy to spend the day with her good friend. “Where are you?” “I’m at the hospital.”
“You’re sick?!” “No, I’m just here to take care of someone.” Ruka did not dare reveal who it was.
“Oh, okay. We’ll meet at the mall’s entrance at 10.30AM. “Sure.”
After they decided when to meet, Ruka looked for Elijah and asked if there was anyone who could give her a ride. When Elijah heard of her plans, he immediately. arranged for a bodyguard to escort her.
Afterward, she went back to the room and grabbed her purse. As she laid her eyes on the man, still deep in slumber, she left without saying goodbye.
Ten minutes later, Ren woke up to find her gone, and he was unhappy that she left so early in the morning. Thus, he sat forbiddingly on the couch while the medical staff fussed over him. As a result, it made the nurse responsible for drawing his blood nervous as she sweated profusely.
“Did she say where she’s going?” Ren gave Elijah a side-eye. “Miss Singed only said she’s meeting a friend.”
“Guy or girl?”
“I didn’t ask, but I think it’s a girl.” Elijah smiled. After what happened last night, he did not think there was anything else Ren needed to worry about.
Although he dared not speculate what happened, he had a good guess based on Ruka’s flushed face in the morning.
At that moment, Ren’s phone rang. He took a look and picked it up. “Hi, Scarlet.” “Ren! It’s Ruka’s birthday today. Can you arrange something to celebrate with her? Unfortunately, we’re not in the country. So, you’ll have to do it in our place.”
“Don’t worry. I’ll make the arrangements.”
“I called her just now. She’s with her friend. Is she alright staying at your place?” “I think she’s doing fine.”
“Alright. We’ll return once we’re done with work here.” “Scarlet, you don’t need to rush. Instead, take your time and go on a vacation while you’re at it, Ren suggested.
“Well, Walter wants to, but I’m worried about Ruka being alone back home.” “Leave her in my care. Enjoy and have fun with Walter. It’s not every day he’s up for it.” Ren continued to persuade her.
“Okay. If that’s the case, we’ll stay a little longer.” Scarlet was instantly at ease by Ren’s reassurances. After the phone call ended, Elijah curiously asked, “Sir, should we prepare a venue for Miss Singed’s birthday?”
Ren narrowed his eyes while he pondered the matter. “There’s no need for that. “What about presents?”
“I have a plan,” Ren answered. Then, he got up, wanting to return to the White House to settle some work.
On the other hand, Ruka met up with Rita, and they went shopping. They also found a seafood buffet and chatted while enjoying the food. As they were talking. Rita suddenly thought of something.
“Ruka, have you heard? I heard from a friend that Jaxton learned that his girlfriend was in contact with her ex. They had a huge fight, and he’s drowning himself in alcohol at a bar.” Ruka blinked her eyes at the news and naturally wanted to know more. “What happened next?”
“My friend told me Jaxton was so drunk he got sent to the hospital.”
“And here I am thinking of congratulating them on getting back together,” Ruka sighed.
Rita then suggested, “Ruka, do you want to try and contact him? You’ve had at crush on him for three years. It will touch his heart if you show him that you care now.”
Ruka smiled and shook her head lightly. She was embarrassed to tell Rita she had found a new love. “It’s fine. I’m not the one for him.”
Rita dropped the topic when she saw that Ruka wasn’t interested. So, the two girls continued walking around in the afternoon. Then, they went to a coffee shop and shopped while gossiping about work. Time flies quickly when one is having fun; before they knew it, it was 4.30PM.
Ruka’s phone rang as they discussed where to go next while still in the coffee shop.
Her heart started beating wildly as she picked it up and looked at the screen. “I need to take this.” She told Rita and headed out of the shop.
“Hello?” “Where are you?” A man’s deep, magnetic voice came through. “Drinking coffee with a friend.”
“It’s your birthday today. How do you want to celebrate tonight?”
“Nothing much. There’s nothing special to do. Are you discharged from the hospital?” Ruka asked with concern. “Yeah. Think about what else you want to do tonight.”
She furrowed her brows slightly and thought about it. “I just want to have dinner then maybe watch a movie.. Whatever is fine!”
“Dinner and a movie?” he asked for confirmation. Ruka scrunched her brows. Why? Is he going to celebrate with me?
“Enjoy your time with your friends first. We’ll talk later,” the man said and hung up.
She was stunned for a few seconds. What did he mean by that? However, she did not think much of it and went back to Rita to talk about their plans for the night.
Around 6.30PM, the sky had turned pitch black. But, as it was winter and nearing the new year, the whole city was illuminated with colorful lights and decorations.
At this moment, a notification popped up on Ruka’s phone. She looked and saw that Ren had messaged her. “Where are you?” ‘Shopping in the mall, Ruka replied. ‘Send your location.”
‘Are you coming?”
