To her surprise, the man on the other end of the line replied in an easy manner, âItâs okay if you tell her about it.â
Ruka felt her head buzz for a moment. No, I wouldnât dare to say that! Now Iâm 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?
âOkay, call me after youâve finished having dinner with her. Iâll have someone pick you up,â 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, itâs like he never gave me the opportunity to say no. It feels like Iâm being forced to go out with him, but Iâm not prepared for this at all!
Meanwhile, Victoria went to the washroom. She overheard what Ruka had said just now; Ruka said she wouldnât 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 wouldnât allow herself to suffer such a humiliating defeat. If she hadnât taken advantage of her drunkenness last time, she wouldnât have had the chance to hug him. She wasnât that drunk the other night, but the feeling of hugging him lingered in her mind for the entire night.
