Chapter 1160
.
“He can handle it.” Ren replied indifferently. Clearly, he was a little jealous that Ruka was so concerned
about his assistant.
He turned his head to look at her, and his long arm suddenly reached past her chest, shocking her.
Then, when she saw the man pull the seat belt around her and fasten it, she felt her heart warm from
the sense of security that he brought her.
Ruka pursed her lips and looked at the scenery outside the window. Suddenly, she thought of
something and couldn‘t help but turn her head to stare at the man next to her. “Were you in the car
when I came out to answer your call just now?”
Ren narrowed his eyes. Then, he lightly nodded, not denying her words.
“You...” Ruka was immediately embarrassed. She recalled the way she had pulled the leaves out to
vent her emotions. Had he witnessed everything? How shameful.
Furious, she turned away and looked out the window, but her face flushed red involuntarily.
He looked at her quietly for a few seconds. When his gaze fell on her hand that was resting on her
knee, he naturally reached out and covered her hand with his.
Taken aback by his actions, Ruka instinctively tried to break away, but he held onto her slender hand
bossily, not allowing her to do so. Her heart raced faster, but she didn‘t dare to forcefully pull away.
After all, there were two bodyguards sitting in front of her, and she still had to protect his pride as a vice
president.
Hence, she ended up being held in his strong grip. As the heat of his palm pressed onto the back of her
hand, it also spread into the depths of her heart. She felt as if she were hiding from the world and
secretly carrying an emotion that was passionate yet unaccepted.
If he wasn‘t a vice president and was just a regular businessman, or even working under any other
profession, they wouldn‘t need to consider what others thought before they did anything. However, with
his distinguished background, any small stain on him would be amplified to the extreme. Even if they
were not related by blood, their relationship was still taboo solely because she was raised as a
goddaughter by Scarlet‘s side. If someone used this issue to blame him for being immoral, it could
obliterate all of his achievements.
How could Ruka risk ruining everything he had? She was too unworthy and insignificant to destroy
such an excellent man like him!
