“I-I didn’t do anything. I’d been translating the documents I was working with,” Mia replied guiltily.
“Did you lock Ruka inside the old library. and turn off the power switch?” Victoria barked. Mia changed color. “Miss Parfait, I-1 didn’t do it on purpose. I meant no harm. I was just playing a prank on her.”
“Do you know how serious the consequences of your actions were? Even my superior got criticized and had to write a self-criticism. Do you think it’s just some trifling matter?” Victoria uttered between clenched teeth.
“Huh?!” Mia’s heart trembled. Is the matter that serious? Why did it turn into something so serious?
“You’re fired. Pack up your stuff and leave,” Victoria said cruelly as her eyes blazed with repressed resentment.
Ruka had asked Ren for help after being trapped inside the library last night. As he had come personally to save her, the nature of the entire incident turned out to be very different.
What made Victoria even more resentful was that Mia’s actions had indirectly created an opportunity for the two. She heard that Ruka had left in Ren’s car last night, so they two had probably stayed together last night. However, she could only vent her hatred on Mia.
Tears instantly rolled down Mia’s cheeks as she looked at Victoria imploringly. “Miss Parfait, could you please allow me to stay? It took me a great deal of effort to get in here, and I don’t want to give up just like this.”
“What’s the use of begging me? If you were smart, you shouldn’t have laid a hand on Ruka,” Victoria replied with a snort.
Mia shuddered as though she had noticed from these words how powerful Ruka’s background was.
Ruka entered the office from the outside, only to be stopped by a figure all of a sudden. It was Mia. At this moment, her delicate makeup was smudged with tears like that of a female ghost, scaring the hell out of Ruka. “Sorry, Ruka! I’m sorry!
Let me apologize to you. Could you please let me off? Please, I’m begging you.” Ruka was still puzzled as she had no idea what Mia was up to again.
Mia’s eyes reddened with anxiety as she was overwhelmed with regret. I just wanted to play a prank on you after seeing you go to the library last night. You can get out of the library by making a phone call, so all I did was lock the door. I really didn’t mean to lock you up.”
Upon hearing this, Ruka finally realized. why she had been locked in the library. She said angrily, “So it was your doing.”
“Sorry, I know that I was wrong. Please be the bigger person and forgive me!” Mia put her palms together, thinking that Ruka was easily persuadable.
Ruka was kind-hearted, but she wouldn’t easily forgive someone like Mia even if the latter begged her for mercy. “You’re fired, right? If you are, then pack up your stuff and leave. You should’ve thought of the consequences when you tried to harm me.’ She coldly walked past her to go back to her office.
Seeing that her plea had fallen on deaf ears, Mia became even more vicious at this moment. “What do you think is so great about you, Ruka? All you have is someone backing you up. You couldn’t wait for me to leave so that you’d have one less rival, right?”
