Chapter 1131
“Come on, it‘s nothing scary,” Ruka whispered to herself, patting her chest while trying hard to keep
calm by thinking about things that would give her courage–the incident last night where Ren had kissed
her, for instance. As she recalled the incident, her cheeks flushed scarlet amid the darkness. Why do I
have to think about this, of all things? Still, I couldn‘t get the kiss last night out of my mind. And besides,
that was my first kiss, okay? Wait, I gave him my first kiss in the car before that, so it‘s considered my
second kiss when he kissed me last night.
At this moment, several employees were clocking out and chatting at the translation department‘s
entrance. Suddenly, a black sedan came to a screeching halt in front of them, after which a respectable
figure with a steady presence stepped out of the car.
At once, the employees were stunned for a few seconds. They couldn‘t believe they were seeing the
vice president at this very moment. Is he here for something important? It‘s got to be something really
important that requires him to come in person at such a time!
Elijah was more familiar with the place than the others were, so he swiftly led Ren in the direction of the
library. “Mr. Husson, the old library is relocated here. It‘s a place to store documents, so nobody usually
comes here.”
Walking at a rapid pace, Ren was clearly worried about the girl who was trapped inside. He and Elijah
were the only ones walking along the corridor since nobody else was coming
Having gotten tired of standing, Ruka sat in the chair next to the door, waiting. When she suddenly
heard the sound of footsteps, she was inwardly delighted. Has Mr. Ren arrived? Or has he sent
somebody here?
“Miss Singed, are you inside?” Elijah asked.
“Yes, I am,” Ruka answered.
“Mr. Husson, please stay with Miss Singed for a moment. I have to get someone to unlock the door,”
Elijah added before striding off.
There was only a steel door between Ruka and the man outside. Even though it was dark, she could
sense Ren‘s fervent gaze upon her. “Sorry for bothering you again,” she apologized consciously.
“I like it when you bother me,” the man replied in a deep and husky voice.
A flush rose to Ruka‘s cheeks, and she was speechless. “I didn‘t want to trouble you, but I really have
no one else to turn to,” she explained hastily.
