Chapter 1030
Ruka felt embarrassed when she recalled how Ren had hung up on her today. It feels so embarrassing
to ask him for help while refusing to live at his place. Still, she had no intention of spending the night
here. Taking out her cell phone, she found his phone number and called him, nervously waiting for the
phone call to be answered.
Ren‘s deep and husky voice sounded especially charming in the quiet and spacious study. “Hello.”
“Hey, Mr. Ren, are you busy? I have a favor to ask of you,” Ruka asked with an ingratiating note in her
voice.
“Mm–hmm. Shoot!” The man‘s voice sounded emotionless.
She pleaded, “I‘m now locked inside the translation department‘s library. Could you please call the
department‘s office to send someone to get me out of here?” She felt mortified for having to bother the
vice president with such a trifling matter.
His voice instantly took on a hint of urgency. “How did you get locked in there?”
“I lost track of time while reading just now. Perhaps the person who locked the door didn‘t realize that I
was still inside. Also, the lights here aren‘t working. It‘s so dark. I‘m scared,” she said as she aired her
grievances.
“Don‘t panic, okay? I‘ll be there right away,” he said, comforting her in a deep voice.
“Huh? You‘re coming? Why such trouble? All you need to do is make a phone call—”
Ren interrupted her, saying, “I‘m nearby.”
Even though Ruka wanted the man to save her, she didn‘t want him to come in person. “But you don‘t
have to make a special effort to come here just for this. Just make a phone call instead. Surely there
are still people in the translation department.”
Ren was obviously unwilling to make the phone call, though. He replied firmly, “Don‘t worry. Just be
patient and wait for me. I‘ll be there in a minute.” With that, he hung up.
As a result, now Ruka was even more stressed out. Oh, no! How embarrassing! Not only am I trapped
here, but the vice president is now taking the trouble to come personally to save me. Nevertheless, she
stopped shouting for help.
However, it was really dark outside. Thanks to the thick branches outside the window, it was pitch–dark
inside the room.
