Chapter 1184
How long has he been standing by the door? Although there was a door between them, Ruka could
feel Ren’s fervent gaze on her, as though he was displaying his irritation at her.
Caspian was startled as well since he hadn’t expected the vice president to be standing by the door.
Just as he excitedly looked at him, he was met with an authoritative gaze, one that gave him chills, as
Ren looked at him with a cold expression.
After a brief second, Ren left. Following his departure, Inara and Michelle cried out in excitement.
“Oh my God! We got to see him up close! If we knew that he would be here, why did we even bother to
go outside?!”
“So handsome. Who can resist such an attractive man?!”
It was when the gift in Ruka’s hand had somehow slipped from her hand did she come back to her
senses. Startled, she immediately picked it up from the floor and returned to her seat all the while in a
panic. Does that mean he saw Caspian confessing to me? Fraught with anxiety, she had the urge to
run after Ren to explain the situation, but couldn’t move a muscle as Victoria’s threat came to mind.
Conflicted, she was at a loss for what to do. It was then that her phone rang. She choked a little when
she saw that the caller ID belonged to that man who just left. “Hello,” she whispered after she accepted
the call.
“Come to the third conference room,” said the man in an authoritative tone with his low and magnetic
voice before he ended the call.
After the call ended, Ruka let out a sigh. He probably wants an explanation from me. Then, she stood
up and was about to walk out of the room when Michelle asked, “Ruka, where are you going? The
restroom?”
“No, I’m going out to make a phone call,” Ruka replied with hints of nervousness in her tone before she
left posthaste. Upon entering the conference room, she found Elijah standing there with four other
bodyguards standing in line. Elijah then gave her an implicit look that indicated her to go inside the
room, to which she nodded and knocked on the third conference room door before entering the room.
There, Ren was sitting with a strange expression on his face; his handsome face was slightly harder to
look at than usual. Afraid of thinking that the man’s expression was because of her, she greeted him as
usual. “Mr. Ren, do you need something from me?” Her eyes, however, were looking down at the
ground due to her guilty conscience.
