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.
“Have some tea, Mr. Husson. Old Master Lloyd has gone out, but I believe he’ll be back soon. Madam Falkner is in the kitchen cooking for the young mistress.”
“Alright.” He nodded and sipped on the tea.
Sitting on the couch, he decided to stand up and walk around after ten minutes or so since he had been sitting all day in his office. Remembering that there was a study on the second floor and that his brother-in-law had a lot of books there, he wanted to do some reading to kill time.
Meanwhile in the master bedroom on the second floor, Ruka was already awake. She had just unpacked the books she brought home this time and was thinking of putting them in the study as she knew that Walter liked to read. That was why half of her suitcase was allocated for just the books.
In one go, she carried all the books from her room before getting startled by a silhouette upon exiting.
“Ah!” The books in her hand all fell with a huge commotion.
Stunned, the first thing Ren saw was a stunning, youthful lady.
“Long time no see, child.” He smirked and bent down to pick up the books.
“Oh my, Mr. Ren, let me do it!” Ruka quickly crouched down, wanting to get ahead of him when she saw him picking up the books. However, instead of grabbing the book, she grabbed the man’s slender yet large pair of hands.
