At this moment, a notification popped up on Ruka’s phone. She looked and saw that Ren had messaged her. “Where are you?” ‘Shopping in the mall, Ruka replied. ‘Send your location.”
‘Are you coming?”
‘Yes!” Her heart started to pound wildly in her chest. Is he going to come? With that thought in mind, she impulsively sent her location. Finally, Ren replied, ‘Wait for me at the mall’s entrance!
Ruka’s heart beat faster, and her face started to turn red. She could not believe what she had read. Is he really going to come? Whenever he went out, it was a massive spectacle with the number of guards protecting him.
Coincidentally, Rita also got a call from her parents to return home and take care of her eight-year-old brother because her grandmother had a bad fall and needed to visit the hospital. So, the two girls parted ways.
Ruka stood at the mall’s entrance. Her eyes were filled with anticipation as she stood there under the blinking lights. She kept looking at the cars driving past her to spot the motorcade he often went out in.
She was so focused on the vehicles before her that she did not realize a Black SUV was parked on the side of the street. Its doors opened, and a tall and handsome figure came out wearing a long gray windbreaker and a black mask. He was covered from head to toe, and only his captivating dreamy eyes shone through his black hair.
His eyes immediately locked on the slender girl standing underneath the streetlight, and a smile flashed across his eyes. He leisurely sauntered to the girl and hugged her from behind unexpectedly. Finally, he placed his chin on her shoulder and tenderly called out,
“Ruka.”
Ruka was initially frightened, but when she heard that deep voice, she was utterly shocked. She immediately swiveled her head toward the voice, only to discover that the high-ranking vice president had shown up alone in a busy crowd and was currently hugging her.
“You-” Ruka’s eyes widened. How could he come here alone?
The man only embraced her tighter and placed his huge palm on the back of her head. So there they were, hugging naturally under the streetlight and ignoring the stares from onlookers.
A few girls from the crowd were envious of them as they looked like an adorable couple.
Even though the man was covered from head to toe and only showed his eyes, his elegant posture and the outline of his face under the mask hinted at his good looks.
Ruka was currently experiencing a tangled ball of emotions. She went from feeling terrified to panicking, then to eager yet bashful. Yet, throughout the rollercoaster of emotions, she also felt the underlying thrill of excitement.
“Tonight, my time is yours. Whatever you want to do, I will do it with you.” The man’s magnetic voice sounded beside her ear.
Ruka could feel his breath on her ear and could not help snuggling into his embrace. Her heart was still fluttering when she suddenly thought of something and looked up at him. “You came out just like this? Isn’t it dangerous?”
Her first thought was that this man should not be running around.
He smiled, turning his eyes to slightly crescents as he lightly tapped her pretty nose. “Of course, it’s safe. Let’s go. We’ll take a walk, then go get food.”
As he said that, he naturally held her hand, and they walked toward the city garden beside the mall. On the sidewalk, the trees were draped with colorful lights making the street incredibly romantic to stroll. There were also many couples there walking and taking pictures.
