“He is a big reason I came to work here,” Michelle confessed. “I strongly advise you to stop daydreaming. Is Mr. Husson someone you can covet?” Theodore attacked them on purpose.
“Is fantasizing against the law? All I want to do is imagine myself marrying him one day! Hmph! Inara snarled furiously. “Yes! What if a single man like him falls for us?” Michelle exuded confidence as well.
After all, what girl would be here if she was not confident in herself? Disappearing from the crowd quietly, she thought, Miss Parfait has the best chance of marrying Mr. Ren! After all, she hugged him that night and said quite a lot in his arms.
It was this moment when Ruka received a notification on her phone, which piqued her interest. As she saw the incoming text, her beautiful eyes narrowed as she quickly kept her phone to her chest. It’s Ren!
The message was straightforward. ‘How did you find your first day of internship?”
“It’s fantastic. Mr. Ren, I appreciate your concern, Ruka replied after she detached from the crowd. ‘All right. Good luck and do your best.”
Reading it, she felt as if she had been injected with an energy drink. ‘I will definitely do my best,’ she replied.
After the brief conversation, Ren did not respond further and Ruka returned to her office. The seven interns were in a large office divided in cabins that provided them with adequate workspace.
Their current work was simply more clerical in order to reflect their translation quality.
She lowered her head to translate a document in her hand when she heard Inara and the other interns enter while laughing and talking.
“I told them that my mother is a member and I demand to purchase that bag even if it doesn’t fit me. Can you guess what the staff said?” Inara yelled about her shopping experience at the brand store, flaunting her aristocracy.
The other girls were simply envious.
“It’s now lunchtime, Ruka. Are you trying to take advantage when we relax while you catch up with your work?” Inara sneered as her gaze was on Ruka deep in her work.
“I make good use of my own time. Do you have a problem with that?” Ruka responded in a neither humble or arrogant manner as she raised her head. The other two girls catered to Inara in some ways, but only Ruka did not, which made the queen bee unhappy.
“You will never be able to outperform us on your own,” Inara stated unequivocally.
Others had also returned to work as they too were concerned about being overtaken and losing their spot in the Translation Department.
Suddenly, Ruka’s phone buzzed with an incoming message prompt and she discovered it was a text sent by her friend, Rita Sommerfield.
Jethro just told me that we’re going to a party tonight. He wants me to notify you so that we can go together after work.
At the thought of the name, Ruka’s heart skipped a beat when she realized she would be meeting Jethro tonight. ‘Okay, I’ll look for you as soon as I get off work, she replied quickly.
“Why don’t you confess tonight, Ruka? There’s nothing to be embarrassed about. The longer you drag this out, the more I’m concerned about you, Rita encouraged her.
Ruka’s face became extremely hot. I’m not ready! But… It’s been three years since I had a crush on him, isn’t it time for me to fight for my own happiness? I’m not exactly the youngest now either…
‘Do you really think I should, Rit?’ Ruka replied.
