Her flowing, dark luscious hair was loose at the back of her head and her rosy cheeks made her look quite adorable. She had ruby-red lips, and there was a slightly dazed look in her eyes. It was quite early in the morning, but the scene was kind of seductive and yet innocent at the same time.
Ren’s eyes widened, and he was shocked by the scene in front of him. He instantly shot a sharp look at his personal assistant, Elijah. Initially, Elijah had his eyes intently on Ruka, but as soon as Elijah noticed Ren’s sharp look, he instantly retracted his gaze and kept his eyes to himself. He stopped staring at what he was not supposed to look at.
Meanwhile, Elijah thought to himself, It’s no wonder Mr. Husson looked sleep-deprived today. It’s because someone else filled up his sleep time. This is the first time ever that I’ve seen a girl in Mr. Husson’s house. Does this mean that he’s no longer the most sought-after bachelor in town?
However, at that moment, the girl addressed Ren, and Elijah was instantly dumbfounded.
“Mr. Ren, did you see my bag?” She asked in a clear voice, but there was an evident note of anxiety in her voice.
Ren pointed at the couch. “It’s over there.”
Ruka ran over to grab her bag, and she quickly took a glance at her cell phone. Subsequently, she exclaimed loudly, “Ah! It’s nine o’clock! I’m late for work!”
Elijah swiftly came to his senses at that point. Hold on! Is she Miss Singed, who usually stays at Husson Residence?! I’m quite honored to have met her for the first time. She’s cute.
Ruka grabbed her bag and the jacket she left on the couch last night. Her hair was unkempt, she hadn’t even freshened up, and the shirt she had on clearly belonged to a male. She turned to Ren and said, “Mr. Ren, could you get your bodyguards to send me to the Translation Department? I’m late for work.”
“I’ll apply for time off on your behalf,” Ren suggested in a low voice.
Instinctively, Ruka stopped him, and she hastily put on her jacket. “No, I don’t want to ask for time off.”
Besides, if he were the one to make the request on her behalf, she would never be able to shake off being labeled as gaining her job through connections. Moreover, Victoria was very infatuated with Ren, and if Victoria found out about their relationship, Ruka would have a tough time in the Translation Department.
“How can you possibly go to work in this attire?” Ren frowned as he looked at her.
Ruka instantly pulled her loose hair into a ponytail quite adeptly, and then she unbuttoned the first two buttons on the loose male shirt she had on before tying a knot around the waist. She managed to transform her outfit into quite a casual style.
After Ruka did all that, she turned to look at Ren smugly. ‘Look, I’m all set to go to work now.”
There was a flash of a smile and a doting look in Ren’s eyes as he turned to say to Elijah, ‘Send her to the Translation Department.”
“Sure, Miss Singed, this way please.” Elijah instantly responded to Ren’s instruction.
Ruka waved at Ren slightly shyly. “Bye, I’ll be on my way then.”
Ren stopped her by voicing out in a low voice, ‘Hold on.”
Before Ruka could react, he had made his way toward her, and his slender fingers quite naturally went to her neck. He then tucked her upturned collar neatly for her. There was a jolt to Ruka’s heart, and she trembled slightly. She could distinctly feel the warmth of his fingers on her neck, and she couldn’t help lifting her head to look at him..
