“Did you say something to Ruka recently?” Ren asked with his somber gaze on Victoria, his tone slightly interrogative.
Victoria already had a hunch about what Ren was going to say. Once she confirmed her hunch was true, her excitement instantly turned into bitterness and sorrow. “Ren, just how inferior to Ruka do you think I am?” Her eyes welled with tears of resentment and jealousy. She wanted to know from the man himself why she had lost to Ruka.
“I’m warning you once more: Outsiders have no right to meddle in the affairs between me and Ruka. If you fill her mind with nonsense behind my back, then you better be ready for the consequences.” Ren warned Victoria as he glared at her, as though he knew what she had done.
As the color drained from her face, Victoria became as pale as a sheet. In the end, she only let out a pained choke as she held onto her desk. With a sorrowful gaze, she watched the man about to take his leave.
Reluctant to give up, she cried out to him. “Ren, Ruka is your sister’s goddaughter. Just look at the age gap between the two of you. If people find out about your relationship with her, your reputation will be negatively affected. I’m only doing all this for your own good!”
Stopping in his tracks, Ren shot a sharp glare at Victoria and said coldly, “Just what exactly have you said to Ruka?”
“I told her to leave you alone. I told her not to ruin you. I said all that because i love you.” Victoria’s emotions grew intense. “You haven’t the slightest idea just how much I love you. Yet, you couldn’t even be bothered to look at me. Ren Husson, why do you think I would bother telling Ruka off like that? I just don’t want to see your shine fade to gray.”
Frowning, Ren kept his gaze tinged with chills on Victoria. “Victoria, since we’ve known each other for so long, I’m only telling you this once: Don’t interfere with my affairs.” Then, he left the room.
After the assistant watched Ren and his men leave, she suddenly heard crying sounds coming from the office. Startled, she opened the door to find Victoria slumped on the floor, crying with a pained expression. “Miss Parfait, what happened?” She was completely taken aback, as she thought Victoria had a chance to get together with Ren.
However, looking at the situation, she knew there was no longer any possibility for them to get together.
When Ruka returned to her office with her eyes slightly swollen, she heard Michelle say from outside the office, “Mr. Husson’s car is leaving with the guests! And here I wanted to take a few more glances at him!”
Slightly stunned by what she heard, Ruka thought, Did he leave?
“With how busy he is with his schedule, do you think he’ll be free to just stand around for you to steal glances at?” Inara rolled her eyes. “You think he’s some celebrity that you can get an autograph from?”
“Where do you think I can get a copy of his autograph?” Michelle actually did have such thoughts in mind.
“In your dreams. Do you really think you’ll be able to get Mr. Husson to give you his autograph?” Then, Inara complained, “Is the powder you’re using expired? Just look at how oily my face is.”
“Ruka, how are you so calm? Aren’t you excited that Mr. Husson has graced us with his presence?” Michelle couldn’t be bothered with Inara, so she turned her attention toward Ruka.
