Only Victoria herself knew what she was up to. She wanted to test how much Ren cared about Ruka. She would keep Ruka beside her tonight and see if he would ask her to release Ruka.
What she wanted to know the most was the nature of his relationship with Ruka. She had sent someone to look into it, but the investigation didn’t find out anything. Ruka’s background wasn’t complex, but Victoria had no idea how she had come into contact with Ren.
After clocking out, Victoria personally came to the office and called Ruka away. Ruka came out under the envious eye of everyone. Victoria’s action seemed to show that she really had a powerful background or something.
“Ruka, my car is outside. Let’s go.” Victoria carried herself gracefully with feminine charms while carrying her handbag.
As Ruka looked at Victoria from behind, a question mark popped up in her head. Miss Parfait has been courting Mr. Ren for five years. Why would she fail to win his heart with her good looks? It’s not that I’m belittling myself, but she far surpasses me in terms of our age, our job, and how outstanding we are.
I’m just a rookie who is still wet behind the ears without anything that puts me at an advantage. Why would a man as successful and well-known as Mr. Ren fall in love with me?
Just as she let her mind wander, she came. in front of Victoria’s car and got into the passenger seat, upon which Victoria drove the car and set out.
“Ruka, do you mind telling me about your relationship with Ren?” Victoria asked with smiling eyes. Then, she added, “I think I’ve gotten the wrong idea about you two. I believe what you said last time, and I know that your relationship with him is pure.”
Ruka’s face blushed slightly before she lowered her head with a guilty conscience. “I’m sorry, Miss Parfait, but it’s not convenient for me to talk about him.”
Victoria smiled instead of getting angry. “I know that. His identity is a sensitive issue, after all. Okay, we’re not gonna talk about it, then. Let’s talk about your life abroad over the past few years. Your information shows that you went abroad at 16 years old. You left the country at a young age, huh?”
Ruka let out a secret sigh before saying, “Yeah, I moved to the city where my parents worked to live with them.”
“Then where did you live in the country before you were 16 years old?”
“I lived in my relative’s place most of the time,” Ruka answered without mentioning the Husson Residence.
Victoria turned to glance at Ruka. She felt that Ruka seemed to be hiding something. Seems like I’ve underestimated her. I thought that she’d tell me everything if 1 were to chat with her like a friend. She wondered if the relative Ruka had lived with before she reached 16 years old had anything to do with Ren.
Otherwise, there was no way Ruka would have an opportunity to get to know him while growing up. She knew very well how Ren grew up, but even the timeline showed no connection with the city Ruka had lived in while she was abroad. Therefore, Ren had likely gotten to know Ruka before she reached 16 years old.
Victoria felt as though a fine thread was twisting around her heart. So Ren fell in love with Ruka even earlier than I thought? Was he secretly waiting for her to grow up before I even knew anything?
Such a relationship between childhood playmates did fill her with suspicion and envy. How lucky Ruka was to have a man who was willing to wait for her until he was 33 years old without dating anyone?
