Ruka didn’t notice that there was a black car parked next to her, and a pair of intense and unpredictable eyes were staring at her from inside, watching her frustration and the way she patted her forehead and sighed.
“Sir, aren’t you going to comfort Miss Singed?” In the driver’s seat, Elijah asked curiously.
“No.” Ren loosened his tie. If he got out of the car now, he would only scare her, because she was now like a frightened bird and only thought about fleeing from him.
He could guess what Victoria had said to her, but Ruka was too young and had too many worries and doubts. Besides, the feelings between them weren’t strong enough to give her the courage to flock to him like a moth would to a flame.
Ruka, who had no idea that a certain man was watching everything she did at the moment, raised her head with a speechless expression and let out a few sighs before she turned toward a small tree next to her and began to grab the leaves as if she were venting her emotions.
When the man in the car saw her actions, the corners of his mouth raised into a smile. Is this the way she vents her emotions? How childish. It was only after Ruka had pulled out all the leaves in front of her that she returned to the private room.. Upon pushing the door open, she saw Victoria lying on the table and rushed over. “How are you feeling now, Miss Parfait?”
‘Ruka, I’ll take you home! I feel so dizzy.” Victoria did drink too much, and she felt rather terrible at the moment.
“Okay. Give me a second. I’ll take you home after I settle the bill.” Saying that, Ruka left to pay for their meal.
After she was done, she returned to the room and picked up Victoria’s bag. Then, she stretched out her hand to help Victoria get up. As Victoria was still able to walk, the two of them left with half of Victoria’s body leaning on Ruka’s body.
Ruka found it difficult to support Victoria, and because Victoria staggered as she walked, as soon as they left the restaurant gate and went to the parking lot, Ruka suddenly tripped over Victoria’s leg.
Before Ruka could scream, she collapsed onto the ground while holding onto Victoria. Instantly, she felt a severe pang of pain in her knees, probably because she had hurt her knees when she fell. Just when she was about to get up to help Victoria, she suddenly heard the sound of a car door, and she couldn’t help but look up.
Upon seeing a tall and handsome figure walking toward them against the light, Ruka felt her heart getting caught in her throat as her beautiful eyes widened. It’s him? Why is he here?
She suddenly recalled that there was a car parked here just now. Had he been in the car all the time? At that thought, she yearned to bury herself into a hole.
