The man, who was left behind, had his lips tightly pressed together in a small frown. His Adam’s apple constantly moved up and down as he tried to suppress the surge of emotions coming from within.
As Ruka left the room, she bumped into Elijah, even though the latter had tried to avoid her. “Miss Singed. However, she couldn’t greet him back, as tears welled in her eyes.
She was afraid of others seeing through her sadness, so she wanted to find a place to be alone for a while. Hence, she went to the restroom and hid in one of the compartments. Whenever she lifted her head, her small face was full of tears as an inexplicable sadness continued to wash over her.
By the door, Elijah kept glancing at his watch, as they had plans to accompany the guests to their next destination. However, the man he was waiting for inside hadn’t left the room.
Afraid that he would disturb the man, he couldn’t enter the room and could only stew in anxiety. If I’m not mistaken, Miss Singed looked sad with her eyes red when she left the room. Did Sir quarrel with her?
Finally, the door of the conference room opened and Ren stepped out with his usual indifferent expression. “Let’s go,” he said to Elijah.
“Sir, are you alright?” Elijah was worried, and he couldn’t help but continue, “Miss Singed didn’t-”
With a slight frown, Ren stopped in his tracks and turned his head to Elijah. “What about her?”
“She didn’t look too good,” replied Elijah. After a faint sigh, Ren said, “Where’s Victoria’s office? Bring me there.” Elijah nodded as a response and led Ren toward a hallway.
Meanwhile, Victoria had just returned to her office. She was originally happy when she knew Ren was still around. However, she never thought that he would ignore her the entire time he was around. This made her heart grow cold, which was why she had ruthlessly said those things to Ruka. She really hated it.
Just then, Victoria’s assistant entered in a hurry and said, “Mr. Husson is coming here. Miss Parfait, hurry and fix your makeup!”
Immediately on her feet, Victoria excitedly asked, “Really? Is he really coming this way?”
“Yes! I think he’s here to see you.” Since this assistant of Victoria’s had been with. her for many years, she naturally knew that Ren was someone she fancied.
Victoria then opened her drawer and took out the makeup kit that she had just put away. After carefully checking her makeup and doing some brief touch-ups, she heard footsteps coming from outside her office. Suppressing the intense excitement on her face, she put on a natural, charming smile. Why is he coming here so suddenly?
Does he have something to say to me? No matter the reason, she wanted to present the best of herself to him. Then, the door opened. The moment Ren entered the office, the door was shut behind him.
With her breathing turning slightly irregular and her heart beating faster, Victoria pointed at the couch and said, “Ren! Come, have a seat.”
“I’ll be leaving after a few words,” Ren said indifferently.
Victoria’s heart ached briefly as she realized that the man was here for another purpose, and not as a friend like she originally thought. “Go ahead.” She took a deep breath as she waited for Ren to speak.
