“But he took you into his arms and carried you into the car. Did you touch him inappropriately in the car?” Rita’s teasing voice clearly indicated that she wanted to listen to Ruka make a fool of herself.
“You’re so annoying! What’s exactly going on in your mind?” Ruka chided Rita with a roll of her eyes. “Gosh, it’s so silly of you to let this
opportunity go to waste. If I were in your position, I would have hugged him tightly in my drunken state.”
Ruka’s pretty face burned as she hastily replied, “That’s enough. Stop talking about this. I need to get back to work.”
“Go ahead then. Bring me along next time if you have the chance to meet him. I want to catch another glimpse of him.”
“Sure. I’ll let you know once I get the chance. Ruka was unable to promise Rita anything. After all, not everyone was able to meet Ren just like that.
Ruka went back to the office, and as she walked past the corridor, Mia purposely stuck out her feet to trip Ruka. Ruka stumbled to the front and somehow landed on Caspian. Caspian reached out to steady Ruka. “Are you alright?”
Ruka shook her head. “I’m fine.” After Ruka said that, she turned around and stood in front of Mia while staring at the latter with an angry expression. “Why did you do that?”
Mia faced Ruka fearlessly. “What did I do? I was just stretching my legs and hips, that’s all. I didn’t expect you to trip over me. My leg hurts now because of you! Aren’t you going to apologize to me?”
“You…” Ruka’s pretty face turned red out of anger.
“Mia, we’re all colleagues here. This is too much!” Caspian came over and stood up for Ruka.
‘Gosh, Caspian. Don’t tell me that you’ve really fallen for her. We’re not just ordinary colleagues. Each of us are rivals too. You need to watch out. She might be the one to eliminate you.” Mia sneered coldly and got up before turning to Michelle, ‘Do you need a toilet break?”
Michelle instantly got up and went out with Mia. Ruka went back to her spot and massaged in between her brows. She could still feel the lingering headache due to the after-effects of too much alcohol.
She clicked into her email and saw that there was an urgent assignment meant to test the interns’ skills, and the ten thousand-word Chinese assignment had to be handed in before eight in the morning the next day.
Ruka was dumbfounded by that, and upon. scanning the details of the assignment, she realized that the assignment was. about a topic that she wasn’t familiar with.
At that moment, Caspian came over and asked her, “Ruka, have you seen the email?”
“Yes, I’ve seen it. It’s quite a complicated assignment, Ruka responded.
