Ruka could perceptively sense that he seemed to be suppressing something. Did my sudden presence disrupt his life? “Mr. Ren, are your bodyguards on standby 24/7? Could you please get them to send me back to Husson Residence?” Ruka asked bravely as she realized that she would feel much more at ease back
home.
Ren seemed quite affable and easy to get along with at Husson Residence, and she had seen him in the garden when he was working. He had a superior attitude and exuded a prestigious aura. However, after interacting with him personally in private, she felt that he seemed pretty schemeful and hard to predict. Besides, he made one feel quite pressured.
“Do you wish to go home?” He had just taken a few steps up the stairs when he suddenly turned around to look at her.
“I feel like I might have been disruptive,” Ruka expressed herself quite frankly.
“They’ve gone off work, so they can’t send you home.” Ren turned around after saying that.
Ruka quickly went after him. “I thought they were supposed to be on standby 24/7? They would definitely send me home if you gave them the word.”
They had just arrived at the foyer when Ruka ran over in haste while he stood still and turned around to look at her. At that moment, they collided slightly with each other.
“Ah…” Ruka leaned backward out of fright, and it was the staircase behind her, so it would be quite a nasty fall for her if she actually toppled down the stairs.
Ruka reached out to grasp at something out of desperation, and Ren’s eyes suddenly widened as he quickly reached out to grab her wrist. Subsequently, he pulled her back toward him, and shortly after that, he held her tightly in his arms. During that spur of the moment of worry, he grabbed the back of her head with his large hands, and after rescuing her, he gave her a tight hug..
Ruka hugged him tightly around the waist as well, out of fright, and her heart thudded hard. She felt as if she had just barely escaped death, so she was quite pleasantly shocked, and yet the fear lingered on too.
“Why did you run after me in such a rush at a staircase?” There was an anxious, chiding voice that rang out above her head.
Ruka lifted her head in fright and finally noticed that he was in such close proximity to her with his head lowered.
They were so close to each other that she could feel his short breaths hitting her forehead. At that moment, she couldn’t help but breathe irregularly.
She was currently quite flustered as she tried to say something, but she couldn’t seem to come up with a full sentence in her mind due to the messy thoughts she had. Furthermore, their current hugging position felt quite intimate.
