To her surprise, the man on the other end of the line replied in an easy manner. “It’s okay if you tell her about it.” Ruka felt her head buzz for a moment. No, I wouldn’t dare to say that!
Now I’m only too eager to hide everything that happened between him and me without telling anyone about it. Most importantly, even I myself find it unacceptable, so how can I go around telling people about it?
“Okay, call me after you’ve finished having dinner with her. I’ll have someone pick you up,” Ren said before hanging up. Ruka put down her phone and looked at the scenery outside the window.
Her cheeks were still burning somewhat, and the memory of him pinning her against the wall last night appeared involuntarily in her mind. Just the thought of it made her heart beat faster. Is there such an overbearing man?
And besides, it’s like he never gave me the opportunity to say no. It feels like I’m being forced to go out with him, but I’m not prepared for this at all!
Meanwhile, Victoria went to the washroom. She overheard what Ruka had said just now; Ruka said she wouldn’t go around telling anyone about her relationship with Ren. Obviously, this statement proved that their relationship was beyond the kind of relationship between men and women.
Could the rumors circulating in the office be true? They say that Ruka managed to get into the translation department by sleeping with some big shot. Could she have really done something like that? Did she get into the department by sleeping with Mr. Husson?
Victoria came in front of the mirror in the washroom. Seeing how her face twitched with jealousy, she felt extremely resentful. To think that another woman got her hands on the man of my dreams easily just like this!
She had worked very hard in the translation department over these years to become the head of the department despite her young age. What did she do all this for?
She did all this to chase after Ren because she wanted to become her best self to become worthy of him. All the effort she had put in over the past five years was only for his sake, for he was the sole purpose of her hard work.
Therefore, how could she resign herself to this? How could a girl pop up all of a sudden and steal him away? She was a woman who was eager to outdo others, so she wouldn’t allow herself to suffer such a humiliating defeat.
If she hadn’t taken advantage of her drunkenness last time, she wouldn’t have had the chance to hug him. She wasn’t that drunk the other night, but the feeling of hugging him lingered in her mind for the entire night.
She admitted that she was somewhat madly in love with Ren. Inwardly, she was already a person who was crazy for love. She clung to the washstand for support as tears of grievance welled up in her eyes. How hard do I have to work to draw his attention?
If Ruka hadn’t turned up, she wouldn’t mind waiting; she’d still have a chance, after all. But now, Ruka’s presence had erased all her efforts, and she stole Ren away so easily. Just what is Ren’s relationship with her? And when did he fall in love with her?
Victoria closed her eyes while shedding at tear of resentment. At this moment, her cell phone rang, and she picked it up and answered it. “Hello?”
