He cast his gaze onto her as she pursed her lips almost instantly. Peeking at the grumpy man, she figured that it would be wise to not pry further.
Suddenly, the air of tension spanned in the room. As she lowered her head and stuffed herself to keep her cool, someone placed a shrimp onto her plate. It turned out that she was so distracted that she forgot to take some dishes for herself. So, the man added more onto her plate.
Ren let out a silent sigh. “She’s Victoria Parfait, the chief of the Translation. Department. You’ll be working for her after this,” Ruka raised her head abruptly. “She will be my supervisor in the future?”
“Yep.” He nodded as the fact that Ruka would be Victoria’s subordinate occurred to him.
“I should’ve addressed her properly. I sounded impolite.” She slumped into a dismal.
It’s not a big deal. Don’t stress about it, Ren comforted Ruka.
She pursed her lips into a smile. “Okay. I’ll relax.”
Now that he was in a better mood, she seized the chance to voice out her curiosity. “Miss Parfait looked at me and questioned whether I was ‘her’. What does. that mean? Did she take me as someone else?”
He suddenly stopped chewing as his intense gaze landed upon her visage. “Hmm, she got the wrong person.”
“Did she mistake me as your crush? I think I should explain our relationship to her.”
“Ruka, Ren brusquely called her name in a husky voice.
Ruka lifted her head at him in response.
“What’s wrong?”
“Once you start working in the Translation Department, keep in mind. not to address me as ‘Mr. Ren’ in front of others. There’s no need to reveal our relationship.”
“Alright. I’ll address you as ‘Mr. Husson.” She giggled. “I don’t like addressing you like you’re my uncle either. It sounds like you’re old. You’re a better fit as my brother!”
A flicker of delight fleeted across his eyes. “Really? Am I not old to you?”
“Nah, you look twenty-seven at most. You’re young and very handsome,” she praised, eliciting a smile on Ren’s lips and the appealing and sexy dimple..
After dinner, the atmosphere seemed to have loosen up along the drive back to Husson Residence while he inquired about her life studying abroad. Influenced by her parents since young. Ruka loved translating and she wished she could contribute to the country like how her parents Had.
Due to the stone’s throw, it took them less than fifteen minutes to arrive outside Husson Residence. She asked Ren whether he wanted to have tea for a while, after which he shook his head in reply. “I gotta settle some work.”
“Work is important, but do not forget to take care of your health, Ruka advised with a serious expression while bending over. Next, she flashed a pristine smile at him. “See you!”
“Head in,” he urged her as he would only leave after watching her entering the house.
Ruka nodded and bypassed the small gate with light footsteps before craning her neck to check if he was gone. The adorable countenance was that of an angel and fairy under the illuminating lights, causing the once tranquil heart beat rapidly.
After waving at him, she shut the door and entered the house before Ren’s car slowly drove away. In the back seat, the street lights shone upon the man’s attractive face. There was a faint smile across his lips, indicating his good mood.
At the same time, Angela was working on the balcony in her apartment while waiting for Richard. He left the place for an errance and had not returned yet.
She stared at the myriads of twinkling lights of the city with a gentle gaze. There was a change in her temperament as merriment radiated from her inside out.
It was because her heart was filled to the brim with love and firmly held in the man’s hands.
