Victoria had a threatening look in her eyes, and Ruka felt immense pressure. Ruka’s mind was a mess at the moment, and she didn’t know how to register Ren’s confession from the previous night.
“Ruka, I hope we don’t end up as rivals in love. You’re quite young, and Ren’s age is not suitable for you. You can find someone around your age to get together with. For me though, I’ve waited for him. for five years, so I will never give up.” Victoria said that without any intention. of listening to Ruka’s explanation at all.
Victoria merely patted Ruka on the shoulders. “Make sure to turn up to work on time from now on.” After Victoria said that, she opened the door and left the room.
Ruka stood in front of the meeting room, and her mind was a mess. Last night she had just found out that Ren was in love with her, and she hadn’t even come to her senses from that shocking discovery, but today, Victoria had delivered this warning so swiftly.
Ruka was in a confused state at the moment when her cell phone suddenly went off. She reached out and lifted it to take a look. It was Scarlet on the line, so Ruka hurriedly answered the call.
“Hi, Aunt Scarlet!”
“Ruka, Uncle Walter and I have suddenly received a short-notice invitation overseas, so we’ll be away for about one month. I think you should stay at Ren’s place for the coming month.”
“Huh? Aunt Scarlet, I-I can’t stay with Mr. Ren. I would be a disruption to his life.” Ruka instantly rejected the suggestion without giving it any consideration at all.
“That’s not true. Ren was the one who suggested that you stay with him. I had intended to send you over to stay with your aunt, but I considered that the commute time from there to the Translation Department would take more than an hour each day, so I was worried that it would be a hindrance to your work.’ Scarlet had already planned everything for Ruka.
At that moment, Ruka’s eyes widened in surprise. Mr. Ren actually suggested that I stay with him?! That would be such an inconvenience! We’re the opposite gender, after all, so we should keep a distance!
“Aunt Scarlet, I think it would be better for me to stay with my aunt. I can wake up earlier each day and head home later. I wouldn’t want to disrupt Mr. Ren’s life,” Ruka insisted.
“What’s going on? Don’t tell me that you’re afraid of staying under the same roof as him?!” Scarlet couldn’t help cracking a joke.
However, this was not a joke to Ruka as it was a fact. She was indeed quite afraid of Ren.
“Don’t worry, he doesn’t bite. Besides, he’s so busy with work every day. You’ll basically just be sleeping in that house, and you won’t encounter each other too much. I’ve spoken to your parents about this, and they’re quite pleased with this arrangement.”
At that point, Ruka was rendered speechless.
“Oh! By the way, once we get back, I’ll introduce you to Richard and his wife.” Scarlet hung up the phone after saying that.
Meanwhile, Ruka was left staring at her cell phone, and she was quite dumbfounded. Do I really have to move into Ren’s house for the time being? Help! I really don’t want to!
