âMiss Liamson, the business matters I am about to discuss with Mr. Husson are strictly confidential.
Please understand that you cannot be present for confidentiality purposes,â Elijah said solemnly.
Sophie hesitated after hearing this. She nodded slowly and said softly, âOkay, then. Iâll leave you both.â
All the bodyguards opened the door of another car and let Sophic in. What door did he close, look out the window, and watch Ren and Elijah get into the car in front. of her.
It was only after Ren was inside the car that he let out a sigh of tiredness. Elijah couldnât help it. he laughed as he asked, âDid Mrs. Husson give you a hard time, sir?â
Ren sighed and pinched the space between his eyebrows. âIâm afraid this will be a recurring phenomenon until I bring a girlfriend home to meet them.â
âYou can always pick a day and bring Miss Singed home,â Elijah suggested.
The thought of this provoked a flash of concern in Renâs eyes. Haroldâs words had added a new weight to his shoulders. He had no intention of running for re-election as vice president in the upcoming election. Still, Harold seemed determined to make it happen.
Harold and Charlotte had reached the golden years of their lives. They would be unable to cope with shocking news such as Renâs sudden withdrawal from the upcoming election. Similarly, I had to keep this in mind. However, he muttered wearily, âHopefully that day will come sooner rather than later.â
The four black SUVs in front joined the convoy as it began to walk out the doors. The entire fleet looked intimidating as it sped through the night, Sophie concluded that it was empowering to ride in the back seat of a car that was part of a convoy. The mere thought of all the luxuries she could enjoy if she married the vice president made her heart skip a beat and she couldnât wait to make her dream come true.
Meanwhile, Ruka and her parents said goodbye to Levi and the others at the restaurant. Claire blurted out furiously after they were out of earshot, âWhat are you doing, Ruka?â
âMom, do I have to remind you that you tried to set a trap for me with someone without my permission?â Ruka joked and smiled as he stripped himself of his unreasonable behavior from the restaurant.
Claire was angry with her daughter. âYou embarrassed us in front of those people! Did you notice how furious Leviâs parents were while you gave orders to Levi all night?â
âDonât be angry, Mom. What makes you think I wonât be able to find a good husband while Iâm still young? Also, I want to marry someone I truly love, not out of desperation,â Ruka convinced her. Claire winding up her arm.
