I didn’t do this intentionally, Ruka stammered as she added that sentence. It seemed that she was now quite alert and no longer in a drunken stupor.
Ren tilted his head and glanced at her. who was trembling as she tried to hide, with an intent look in his eyes. Finally, he scoffed derisively. “It’s alright.”
There were a handful of people that one didn’t necessarily need to see every day or even every year, but they would always hold a special place in one’s heart and be missed dearly.
As she suffered from anxiety and travel sickness, Ruka suddenly felt a wave of nausea and she quickly covered her mouth. Yet, she humiliated herself as she threw up out of the car window and made a mess of her jacket and the front of the sweater she had on.
Ren reached out and grabbed a stack of tissues before handing them to her as she scrambled to take them from him. She had one hand half-covering her mouth while the other hand was busy wiping off the mess on the front of her clothes. Her face burned with embarrassment. How humiliating!
I can’t believe that I threw up in his car Fortunately, they arrived at Ren’s house soon enough and the bodyguard drove the car past iron-wrought gates surrounded by high walls. Behind the iron gates was a low-lying mansion or in fact, it could be also regarded as a bigger sized house. The house was shrouded by trees and under the night sky, it quite clearly took up significant space too.
The bodyguard opened the door and Ruka instantly leaped out of the car impatiently. She squatted by the bushes. at the side and threw up quite
uncomfortably. She generally abstained. from alcohol but she had too much to drink tonight and paired with the uncomfortable car ride, she felt quite nauseous.
Ren turned to his bodyguards and instructed, “You guys can leave first.”
The bodyguards nodded and subsequently, they drove out of the gates and the sturdy gates were finally
gradually drawn shut.
Ruka was dizzy from all the throwing up and she couldn’t quite control the tears from streaming down her face. At this moment, someone next to her handed over some tissues to her and she hastily wiped her face before getting up from the ground. She then looked up to see Ren looking at her intently with concern in his eyes.
They were currently standing in a garden where there was a brightly lit-up mansion and a vast scenery of the landscape behind them.
“Is this your home?” This was the first time Ruka visited his place and the mansion looked quite subtle yet it was worthy of his status.
“Yes. Let’s go inside.” Ren nodded.
Ruka suddenly regretted her decision. She would rather return to Husson Residence in her sorry state and sit through a lecture than throw up all over herself and end up reeking badly of alcohol while being stuck in the same house with Ren all by herself..
However, his bodyguards had left so if she requested to go back to Husson Residence right now at this time of the night, it would be disrupting the bodyguards’ rest which would be quite wilful of her to do so.
As such, she decided there and then that she would just wing it and see how things went.
