Chapter 1106
Rita only had a glass of juice as her mission for the evening was to allow Ruka vent. She had been on
her journey of falling in love with Jethro the entire time, so she understood Ruka‘s inner pain.
Ring, Ring— The landline in the Vice President‘s office rang.
“Hello,” Ren greeted as he reached out to answer it.
“How are you not off work yet?” Victoria‘s voice grew worried.
“I‘m leaving in a moment. Is there anything I can help you with?” he inquired, his brow furrowed.
“Do you feel lonely, Ren? I know you‘re always alone. I can accompany you if you don‘t mind.” Her tone
was rife with hints.
“No, thank you. You should head back and rest early,” he rejected calmly.
“Can‘t you be nice to me, Ren? Am I not good enough for you? Many men are interested in me, but I
only want you.” Her painful voice was tinged with tears.
“You can try accepting other men. Don‘t waste your time with me.”
“What about Ruka? What kind of relationship do you have with her? Do you have feelings for her?”
questioned Victoria.
“This is between us, so don‘t involve her,” Ren cautioned.
“Although you avoided this subject, the more you shy away from it, the more intrigued I become. You
seem to be extremely protective of her.”
“We should only talk about work, Victoria. I‘m not interested in discussing anything else. Goodbye.”
Ren hung up on her.
He took a deep breath and checked his watch. It was already 9.30PM and he needed to get home.
At that moment, his phone rang and it was a call from his sister. “Hey, Scarlet,” he uttered upon picking
it up.
“Make some time to see Mom and Dad tomorrow. They‘re going on and off about you again.”
“All right, I‘ll do my best to take some time out for them,” Ren replied before casually asking, “Has Ruka
gone home?”
