As the lights in the cinema dimmed, it allowed many couples to be more intimate. It would not be a problem to hold hands and hug. At first, Ruka was a little reserved. Still, she carefully scooted over toward him when he suggestively tugged on her.
Finally, he stretched his arm and pressed her into his embrace. Ruka felt her heart pounding against her chest as she stayed beside him and looked at the screen. At that moment, a fiery scene between the male and female leads was playing on the screen.
There was a huge bed on the screen, and the male and female leads were in a passionate tangle. Ruka’s face turned beet red, and she hid in Ren’s chest while covering her face.
His hands that were on her waist tightened for some unknown reason.
Eventually, the scene passed, and the plot returned to normal. Rika sat upright as the starry sky attracted her. Then, a scary scene flashed on the screen as she picked up her drink to take a sip. As a result, her heart trembled with fear, and her hands touched something she should not have in her panic.
The man’s reaction made her heart skip a beat. She gasped as he looked down and locked eyes with her. The desire in his eyes was so evident in the dark that she gulped due to nervousness.
“I wasn’t doing it on purpose,” she whispered. He grabbed her hand and hoarsely instructed, “Focus on the movie.”
She turned her attention to the front with her red face. The movie was her favorite science-fiction genre, but that was the last thing on her mind now. Instead, she found herself unable to focus on the film at all.
At that moment, she noticed her phone buzzing and flashing in her bag. It seemed like someone was calling her. She sat up from Ren’s embrace and took her phone out to find Elijah’s call.
As she pressed the answer button, Elijah’s anxious voice came through. “Miss Singed, is Sir with you?”
“He’s with me.”
“Where are you both?”
“We’re watching a movie.”
“What? Are you guys at the cinema? Miss Singed, please ask Mr. Husson to return immediately. If not, we’ll have to come personally and pick him up.”
A surprised Ruka questioned, “Is he in danger?”
“We’ve lost contact with him for three hours. Please ask him to return. If not, we will initiate first-level security. That will cause huge problems and confusion,” Elijah said grimly.
She was utterly stupefied as she thought to herself. Is the situation that bad?
“Okay. I’ll get him home now.” She could only promise Elijah and cut the date short.
“Send us your location as well. I’ll send someone over. His safety cannot be compromised, Miss Singed. So please cooperate with us.”
“Alright. I know,” Ruka answered and then sent their location to him. But, to be honest, she was still in a daze. So, the man beside her had escaped Elijah’s eyes to come to her.
Affected by Elijah’s anxiety, she was wholly concerned about his safety as she immediately pulled on Ren’s sleeve and whispered into his ear, “Elijah’s been looking for you. Let’s go back.”
His brows furrowed tightly. “What did he say?”
“He said they’ll initiate first-level security measures if you’re not back. Ren, let’s go! I’m begging you. We have to go back.” Ruka got more fearful the more she thought about it. How could she let this man accompany her to a movie alone?
If anything happened to him, she was to blame.
“Please, I’m begging you. Let’s go back.” Ruka was so worried that she started to beg softly in his ear.
