Chapter 1182
Desperate and helpless upon her words, Ruka stared at Victoria with tears in her eyes. Her words were
just like a knife that had stabbed right at her heart, and she felt it could end her life at any
moment now.
“You better remember my words.” After Victoria gave her warning, she left Ruka and went back to
Ren’s group.
Left in the corner, Ruka found herself panting heavily, her breathing turning ragged, as though she just
had a near–death experience. Momentarily losing the strength in her knees, she held onto the wall for
support. She thought back on how cold and harsh Victoria’s words were, as though they were meant to
rob her life with every word she said. Making him the subject of the public’s criticism? For him to be
despised and spurned by the public? No! I’ll never let him be humiliated like that! she thought with one
hand over her heart. As she closed her eyes from the aches in her heart, tears started running down
her cheeks.
Ruka leaned against the wall for some time when one of the cleaning ladies came over and asked in
concern, “Are you alright? Are you not feeling well?”
“I’m fine. Thank you.” With her hand on the wall, she stood up and bowed as thanks before heading in
the office’s direction with her head hung. She couldn’t help but stumble on the way back, so she
decided to head into the restroom to refresh herself. As she washed her face, she noticed droplets of
water running down her cheeks. Though she was unsure if it was the water from the tap or tears from
within, she pursed her lips and desperately suppressed her urge to cry. Just then, someone came out
from the cubicle, which prompted her to lean forward and continue splashing her face with water.
Meanwhile, in one of the lounges of the Translation Department. After the guests were served tea, Ren
came out with his phone and said to Elijah, “Bring me to her office.”
After Elijah asked one of the nearby employees, the said employee showed them to Ren’s desired
destination, to which the latter followed as he took a step forward.
