Chapter 1125
Victoria watched as Ruka explained herself, and Victoria trusted Ruka’s words because Ruka clearly
didn’t look like one who was adept at lying.
At that moment, Victoria heaved a silent sigh of relief. “Your relationship with the vice–president seems
to be much closer than I expected. Do you have feelings for him?”
Ruka glanced at Victoria with a stunned expression, and for a moment there, Ruka didn‘t quite know
whether to nod or shake her head.
However, before Ruka could say anything, Victoria had spoken up solemnly, “I have feelings for him
though, and I‘ve been pursuing him for the past five years. Over these five years, I‘ve been deeply
infatuated with him to an extreme state. Ruka, are you planning to vie for the attention of the same man
too?”
Victoria had a threatening look in her eyes, and Ruka felt immense pressure. Ruka‘s mind was a mess
at the moment, and she didn‘t know how to register Ren‘s confession from the previous night.
“Ruka, I hope we don‘t end up as rivals in love. You‘re quite young, and Ren‘s age is not suitable for
you. You can find someone around your age to get together with. For me though, I‘ve waited for him for
five years, so I will never give up.” Victoria said that without any intention of listening to Ruka‘s
explanation at all. Victoria merely patted Ruka on the shoulders. “Make sure to turn up to work on time
from now on.”
After Victoria said that, she opened the door and left the room.
Ruka stood in front of the meeting room, and her mind was a mess. Last night she had just found out
that Ren was in love with her, and she hadn‘t even come to her senses from that shocking discovery,
but today, Victoria had delivered this warning so swiftly.
Ruka was in a confused state at the moment when her cell phone suddenly went off. She reached out
and lifted it to take a look. It was Scarlet on the line, so Ruka hurriedly answered the call.
“Hi, Aunt Scarlet!”
..
“Ruka, Uncle Walter and I have suddenly received a short–notice invitation overseas, so we‘ll be away
for about one month. I think you should stay at Ren‘s place for the coming month.”
“Huh? Aunt Scarlet, I–I can‘t stay with Mr. Ren. I would be a disruption to his life.”
Ruka instantly rejected the suggestion without giving it any consideration at all.
“That‘s not true. Ren was the one who suggested that you stay with him. I had intended to send you
over to stay with your aunt, but I considered that the commute time from there to the Translation
Department would take rnore than an hour each day, so I was worried that it would be a hindrance to
your work.” Scarlet had already planned everything for Ruka.
