Ruka began to wonder if it was a good thing for her to stay with Ren. She was supposed to be
accompanying him, but it seemed like she was taking up his time instead. “I’ll move back home today
then. I don’t want to disturb him,” Ruka decided.
Elijah smiled. “It’s better if you stayed here, Miss Singed. If you’re here, Sir won’t have to spend his
time thinking about you. He can use that time on other things instead.”
Ruka’s cheeks turned a little pink as she said shyly. “It’s not as if he spends his whole day thinking
about me.”
“But if you’re not by his side, wouldn’t it mean that he’ll have to spend all his free time thinking about
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtyou?” Elijah prompted with a smile.
Ruka felt her heart grow fuzzy. Is that true? Elijah’s been with Ren for so many years now so he must
know him very well. Does this mean that he spends all of his free time thinking about me?
If this were the case, then it meant she owed him a lot. She had been preoccupied with another guy
before returning to the country and had only started thinking about him more once he confessed to her.
I’ll spend more time thinking about him from now on! Ruka thought with a smile as the door to the main
bedroom opened. Ren came out all dressed and ready for work. He looked immaculate and downright
mesmerizing in his black three-piece suit.
He spotted the two people who were chatting away on the couch beside his door. His eyes narrowed
with a glint as she stared at the woman who was still in her pajamas while she engaged in conversation
with his assistant.
Elijah got up right away. “You’re up, Sir.”
Ruka followed suit, but by then, he had marched straight up to her. He put his arm around her waist
and led her right back to her room.
She was a little shocked and embarrassed. Elijah is right there! What’s he doing? Is it okay for him to
be acting this way in broad daylight?
Though, she was the one who got the wrong idea. Ren took her back to her room and said, “Come out
when you’re properly dressed.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmRuka glanced down and gulped. Yikes! I’m still in my pajamas! No wonder he looked displeased. She
headed downstairs after she changed out of her pajamas and saw the two men waiting for her at the
dining table.
Ruka sat down beside Ren with a smile. When she saw Elijah poring over a stack of documents, she
suggested, “Elijah, why don’t you finish breakfast first before reading that?”
“Oh, it’s fine. I’m used to it.” Elijah looked up with a grateful smile.
Ruka turned to study the man beside her. She wanted to see if he had enough rest. Ren turned to look
at her as well and she pitied him when she saw his eyes. “Look at those dark circles! What time did you
sleep last night?”
Ren rubbed his eyes. “Really? Do I look terrible?”
Ruka shook her head. He did not look bad, actually. It just made his eyes seem deeper. Still, she felt
bad that he had to stay up so late. “I’ll give you a massage.” Ruka massaged his temples since the
servants had not brought breakfast out yet.
