However, Ruka’s thoughts were a mess. She didn’t have time to consider much. but there was one thing she was extremely firm about, and that was she would never do anything to hurt the Husson Family and Ren.
The light in her eyes seemed to disappear all of a sudden, revealing a flash of melancholy. Opposite her, Victoria noticed her gaze, and she felt a hint of bitterness on the inside. Ruka’s expression proved one thing-she really liked Ren.
Victoria knew that as long as Ren took the initiative to pursue a girl, that girl would definitely fall for him. How could a naive girl like Ruka escape from Ren’s charm?
She had spent five years of her youth just to make him spare her another glance! Feeling pained, Victoria picked up the wine bottle and poured it into the glass again, and time gradually went by as she drowned her sorrows with wine.
When Ruka returned to her senses, she saw Victoria call on a waiter, and said to him drunkenly, “Get me another bottle of wine.”
At the sight, Ruka persuaded her, “Miss Parfait, don’t drink anymore. You’ve drunk too much.”
“Ruka, you don’t know how bitter I feel. If you were me, you’d know how painful it is to love someone without being able to have them. I love him so much, and I tried everything to get close to him, but in the end, I got nothing.” Victoria didn’t care about showing her vulnerability and pain. She wanted Ruka to see that she was also responsible for her pain.
“Ruka, how would I not feel pained? Unrequited love is the most painful thing in the world.” Saying that, Victoria rested her forehead on her hand and began crying.
Ruka looked at her, not knowing how to comfort her all of a sudden. She handed her a piece of tissue. “Miss Parfait, you’re drunk. Let me take you home!”
“No… I’m not drunk. I don’t want to go back. I want to see him.” Victoria raised her head and wiped away her tears before she asked Ruka, “Ruka, will he come to pick you up? If he does, I can see him too.
Victoria usually didn’t have a chance to meet Ren, and not everyone in his office could speak to him. Therefore, it was really not easy for her to see him.
“After I send you home, I’ll call a cab home myself.”
“Are you going back to the Husson Residence?”
“I’m going to a friend’s house.” Ruka decided to spend the night at Rita’s house tonight and talk to Ren about moving out the next day.
“Ruka, you’re so lucky to be able to spend so much time with him. On the other hand, meeting him is a matter of luck for me,” Victoria said enviously, her eyes bloodshot.
Ruka pursed her lips and shook her head. “No, Miss Parfait, you’ve misunderstood. If I remember correctly, I’ve only seen Mr. Husson around ten times.”
Victoria looked at her suspiciously. “How is that possible? Isn’t it easy for you to meet him?”
“It’s true. Mr. Husson is a person I admire and worship. Even if I met him, I wouldn’t dare to say much to him,” Ruka answered truthfully. In fact, after kissing him that night, she still respected him like an elder and didn’t dare to think about it at all, let alone make mistakes and act carelessly in front of him. Deep down, she was even afraid of him.
In the past few days, everything had been messed up, from their relationship to her feelings, as if nothing was under her control. She had even got to know Ren from a new perspective. She was shocked to find out that he always had feelings toward her that he had never said to her.
