Just then, there was a knock on Ruka’s door, and her pretty eyes instantly widened in fear. She glanced at the door and was fearful of opening it, but she didn’t dare not to either. She had no choice but to open a tiny crack of the door from the inside and reveal a pair of shy-looking eyes to stare at the man outside.
“U-Mr. Ren… Do you have anything else to say?” Ruka realized that she could no longer address him as naturally as before.
The man outside the door had one hand holding onto the door frame as he looked at the girl, who only dared to reveal half of her face. At that point, he felt resigned and slightly worried, so he asked hoarsely, “Did I startle you?”
“No.” Ruka shook her head and lowered it shyly.
“I’m sorry. I take back my words from earlier, so don’t take them seriously.”
Ren’s voice sounded hoarser than ever, and he seemed to be muttering a remorseful reply.
Ruka, who had her head lowered, suddenly lifted it abruptly. “No! I’m happy that you’ve got feelings toward me, but I… I didn’t expect that at all.” Ruka lowered her head further, quite shyly.
“You should get some rest.” Ren turned around and left after talking it out with her.
Ruka shut the door behind her subsequently, and she felt that her mind was quite fuzzy at the moment. She attributed that to the fact that perhaps she was still under the influence of alcohol. The incident from before felt like a dream to her.
She fell back onto the bed and shut her eyes instantly. In her dazed state, she caught a whiff of male scent, and she instantly opened her eyes wide as she lifted her arms. At that moment, she realized that Ren’s distinct scent
remained on the shirt. She blushed at that realization, and she thought, I’m still wearing his shirt! Gosh! It seems that everything that has happened has exceeded our previous relationship and it has now gone out of control.
Ruka enjoyed a good night’s sleep, and even the scene in her dreams was perfect, so as soon as she opened her eyes, she was under the impression that she was back in her room at Husson Residence. However, as she was stretching her body, she noticed the ceiling of the room and instantly sat upright.
She realized then that she wasn’t at home and that this was Ren’s home. Where’s my cell phone and what’s the time? I’ve got to work today! I can’t possibly arrive late on just the second day of my internship!
At that moment, she was in a frenzied state. She pulled open the door to the room and ran downstairs to search for her cell phone with her long hair billowing freely in a messy state.
She thought, It should be on the couch.
However, she had just arrived downstairs when she noticed that Ren was currently all suited up and standing in front of the doorway as he spoke with a young man.
At that moment, Ruka was significantly startled. She was currently dressed in Ren’s shirt, and the wide lapels of the shirt emphasized her slender and slim figure.
