Chapter 1144
Puka saw that it was 7:30AM, which was still early. As she didn‘t want to be late for work today. she
spruced herself up and came downstairs early on her own.
Elijah was already waiting for her at the entrance. “Miss Singed, I‘ll drive you to work and take you
somewhere to eat breakfast along the way,” he said.
“Thank you, Elijah,” Ruka thanked.
Meanwhile, at the translation department, Mia arrived early at the office, having completely forgotten
what she had done last night. In her opinion, she had only played a prank on Ruka, who must‘ve found
someone to unlock the door and free her.
Just then, Victoria‘s assistant came over and called her. “Mia, go to Miss Parfait‘s office.”
Not daring to ignore her words, Mia immediately stood up and went to Victoria‘s office, only to see the
latter standing in front of the French window with a dark expression while looking at her frostily. “What
did you do last night?” she asked.
“I–I didn‘t do anything. I‘d been translating the documents I was working with,” Mia replied guiltily.
“Did you lock Ruka inside the old library and turn off the power switch?” Victoria barked.
Mia changed color. “Miss Parfait, I–I didn‘t do it on purpose. I meant no harm. I was just playing a prank
on her.”
“Do you know how serious the consequences of your actions were? Even my superior got criticized
and had to write a self–criticism. Do you think it‘s just some trifling matter?” Victoria uttered between
clenched teeth.
“Huh?!” Mia‘s heart trembled. Is the matter that serious? Why did it turn into something so serious?
“You‘re fired. Pack up your stuff and leave,” Victoria said cruelly as her eyes blazed with repressed
resentment.
Ruka had asked Ren for help after being trapped inside the library last night. As he had come
personally to save her, the nature of the entire incident turned out to be very different. What made
Victoria even more resentful was that Mia‘s actions had indirectly created an opportunity for the two.
She heard that Ruka had left in Ren‘s car last night, so they two had probably stayed together last
night. However, she could only vent her hatred on Mia.
