Ruka’s heart careened from beat to beat when she saw how imposing Ren looked as he worked. She then took the seat next to

him. Just as Elijah rose to leave and accord them sprivacy. Ren glanced up and said, “Do as | say.”

drawing room.

Ruka looked around the ornately decorated place and asked curiously, “Is this one of your workplaces as well?”

Ren gave her a sympathetic look and handed her a cup of tea. “Here, have stea to warm yourself up.”

“But I'm not cold,” She paused mid-explanation when he grabbed her hands, which were freezing. At that moment, he had caught

her lying. She flushed but did not try to pull her hands out of the warm cusp of his.

A beat or two later, Ren drawled grimly. “I'll give Victoria a stern warning. You can go back to the Translation Department anytime

you want.”

Sliaking her head, Ruka said, “I don’t want to go back. | want to try out other departments. I'm thinking of Public Relations, so | can

work with my parents.” It was not as if she had taken up the internship at the Translation Department without a backup, and she

She gazed into his depthless eyes and felt her heart melt. There was something about him that made her want to give up

everything, including her good sense, just for him. He only needed to ask and she would have said yes regardless of what his

request might be.

That was how Ruka ended up saying, “Okay. | guess I'll consider something else then.”

“You don’t have to work, you know,” he said hoarsely. “I make more than enough for the both of

us.”
