With her eyes lowered, Ruka replied, “I’m not. Didn’t he just pass by the office just now?” “That’s right! But, why was he here just now? Strange.” Michelle had a puzzled expression.
Soon, evening came and it was almost time for the employees to knock off. Ruka started to feel anxious. She thought she needed to find a different place to stay, as she couldn’t intrude on Ren’s place any longer.
Thus, she called Rita and told her that she might stay the night at her place, to which the latter was very welcoming. When it was time for Ruka to leave, she decided to spend the night at Rita’s place before finding a suitable time to pack her things from Ren’s house.
Just as Ruka left the lobby with her bag in tow, a tall bodyguard by the side called out to her. “Miss Singed, I am under Mr. Husson’s instructions to bring you home.
Startled, Ruka asked, “Bring me home?” “Yes.”
After a brief moment of thought, Ruka waved her hand and said, “Thank you, but I’ll be staying at my friend’s place tonight.”
“Miss Singed, please inform Mr. Husson personally. I’m just following orders here,” the bodyguard replied in a serious tone.
Ruka knew that she shouldn’t make things difficult for the bodyguard, but she didn’t want to call Ren as well. Suddenly, she remembered she had previously gotten Elijah’s number, so she decided to have him be the messenger instead. Taking out her phone, she then dialed Elijah’s number.
“Hello, Miss Singed.” The call got through rather quickly.
“Elijah, please tell Mr. Husson that I won’t be going home tonight,” Ruka said politely.
“Miss Singed, I also have some news for you.”
“What is it?” Ruka was slightly surprised.
“Sir has been admitted to the hospital.”
“Huh? He did?” Ruka widened her eyes in shock and asked hurriedly, “Did something happen to him?”
“His condition worsened, so he needed to be hospitalized.” Elijah answered before he continued, “If you come and visit him, or maybe even take care of him for a while, I’m sure Sir would be very happy.” “I…”
“He’s in a bad mood now.”
“I’m afraid it’ll only worsen his mood if I do.” Like a child who had just done something wrong, she bit her lips and was afraid of going home.
