Ruka’s brain stopped functioning until the pair of slightly cold, thin lips met hers in the darkness. She felt as though some fireworks had exploded in her head, blowing her reason away so that only her senses were working as she was enveloped by the enchanting smell of hormones.
Perhaps because she enjoyed it or because this was too much for her, she let out a kittenish moan, upon which the man let out a chuckle in the darkness.
Just then, Elijah’s voice sounded outside. “Mr. Husson… Mr. Husson, are you alright?!” As it turned out, he heard the sound of the door falling down from afar while looking for someone to unlock it. Therefore, he hurriedly turned back without borrowing the key, fearing that anything dangerous might have happened to Ren.
When Ruka heard his voice, she instantly stopped clutching the front of Ren’s shirt and pushed him instead.
Only then did the man let go of her. His breathing was heavy in the darkness, and his warm breath brought color to her cheeks as it brushed against her face. If the lights were on, it’d be obvious that she blushed scarlet.
Elijah quickly rushed in, only to be dumbfounded when he saw what was going on inside by the faint light. Not only was Ren alright, but he had a young lady’s slim figure hidden in his arms.
No amount of darkness could stop Ren from looking daggers at Elijah. In an instant, Elijah felt a chill run down his spine as if he’d be assassinated in the next second. “Mr. Husson, I’ll get someone to come over and… repair the door.” He made up an excuse, wanting to leave as soon as possible.
“Don’t bother. Let’s go back!” Ren said. before taking the lady beside him out of the library.
Ruka lowered her head in a seemingly obedient manner. However, when the couple entered the brightly lit corridor, she quickly pulled her hand out of the man’s grasp, saying to him, “I gotta go first.’ She dared not even address him, fearing that the others might hear it.
Burying one hand in his pocket, the tall and handsome man walked gracefully like a lion king at leisure. He looked at the lady who was fleeing back to the office with a hint of possessiveness in his deep, fathomless eyes.
Elijah suggested, “Sir, should we get into the car and wait for Miss Singed first?” After all, it was improper to be seen getting too close to Ruka on such an occasion.
Ren nodded slightly while walking toward the car. At the same time, he ordered, “Go find out who locked the door to the library.”
Elijah was involuntarily startled. “Sir, do you think the door to the library was locked on purpose?”
Ren nodded. Not only had the door been locked, but the person who locked the door even turned off the power supply. Obviously, the person had done so to scare Ruka. Ren wouldn’t allow such a vicious person to exist around her, so he had to get rid of them.
Elijah immediately nodded. ‘Okay, I’ll look into it right away.”
When Ren reached his car, his bodyguard had opened the car door for him. However, instead of leaving, his motorcade stayed outside the entrance to wait for Ruka.
Ruka returned to her office while biting her red lips gently as her beautiful eyes misted over. Like a frightened little fawn, she was at a loss for what to do. At the same time, though, her cheeks were red as though she had applied blush to them. Am I crazy? How could I kiss him like that in the library? Is this reasonable or even legal?
She closed her eyes while covering her face with both hands. She felt like crying. She couldn’t help feeling that it was reasonable for her to kiss any other man but not Ren.
