Chapter 1397
“Please just let me perform. I put in a lot of effort for this. I...” Sophie tried to put
. I...” Sophie tried to put up one last fight.
However, the director did not waver. “I‘m sorry, but the adjustments have been made.”
Sophie and her assistant left through the corridor. She stood in the shadows, staring at Ruka who was
seated right beside Ren, then she clenched her teeth. She didn‘t expect crossing Ruka would mean the
loss of her career.
The performance was a success, and Ruka was in a good mood. The woman she despised didn‘t show
up after all.
It was half past nine when the show came to an end. She was tired from watching it. Ruka rested her
head on Ren‘s shoulder and drifted to sleep while they were on their way home.
She didn‘t wake up even when they got home, so Ren took her inside himself.
Ruka had woken up when Ren picked her up, but she pretended to be asleep anyway. I can have a
good night‘s sleep. Yay, me. No hunky dory tonight.
That was her plan, at least. She kept pretending to be asleep when Ren was taking her coat and socks
off. She lay in his arms, wearing nothing but a layer of clothes.
When Ren finally went into the bathroom, she heaved a sigh of relief and actually drifted to sleep. Ruka
even continued her dream.
Vaguely, she felt the edge of the bed moving downward, and then she felt someone pulling her into his
warm embrace. Her face was stuck to his chest, and she jolted awake.
“I–I was already asleep,” she muttered. Show me a little respect, will you?
