Victoria couldn’t help but size Ruka up again through the rearview mirror with piercing eyes. Ruka was looking at the scenery outside the window with a pair of watery eyes that seemed to have not experienced the torture of worldly affairs.
She was lively and vivacious, like a greenhouse flower that had been taken great care of as it grew. Such a lady did have a delicate air about her that made one want to love her tenderly. She was pure, beautiful, and yet fragile-a quality that anyone would yearn for and try to protect.
Victoria laughed at herself inwardly, She had become aggressive at work, as if she could no longer travel back to the days when she was as young and ignorant as Ruka was.
She wished she could also be six years younger and meet the mature, steady, and protective Ren at the same age as Ruka did. If that happened, would she stand a chance of becoming the apple of his eye?
After they arrived at the restaurant, Victoria introduced the place to Ruka..
The restaurant rarely served customers from the outside, so the customers here were all internal employees.
Ruka also understood the difference between the customers from the outside and those from the inside. Ren would probably come to such a restaurant too, she thought.
Victoria asked for a private room and ordered some food. Then, she asked, “Ruka, can you drive?”
Ruka nodded. “Yes, I can. I have my driver’s license.”
“Great. I’m feeling down today, so I’d like to have a couple of drinks later. Remember to drive me home, alright?” Victoria pleaded with her.
Ruka hurriedly advised, “Miss Parfait, you’d better not drink too much alcohol. It’s bad for your health.”
“It’s okay. I can hold my liquor pretty well; I just want to drink a little to vent my emotions. Don’t worry, I won’t act crazy after getting drunk.” Victoria smiled. “I’m going to the washroom.”
Just when she was about to open the door, she heard Ruka’s cell phone ring. She paused for a moment, but after that, she naturally pushed the door open and left.
Ruka didn’t know that the door wasn’t tightly shut, and Victoria didn’t leave.
outside the door either. She held her cell phone in her hand as if she were answering the phone outside the door so that no one would think she was eavesdropping even if someone came over.
Seeing the caller ID on her cell phone’s screen, Ruka answered the phone with a smile. “Hello?”
“Elijah says you’re not in the office. Where are you?”
“Oh, I’m having dinner with Miss Parfait outside. Just tell Elijah to go back first might have to go back late, Ruka explained.
“Why would she treat you to dinner?”
“She’s probably feeling down. Don’t worry, I won’t tell her about our relationship, Ruka promised him while pursing her lips.
