Chapter 1267
Ren ordered, “Cancel Sophie Liamson’s show.” The person nodded without missing a beat. “Of course. I’ll do it right away.” Backstage, Sophie was starting to feel nervous. She paced back and forth. Can Ruka actually cancel my show?
The director came in, and she tensed up. “What is it, director?”
“Miss Liamson, your show is canceled. Pack your things and leave right now.” She blanched. So she did it. With the cancellation of her show, her name would be tarnished. She might be kicked out of every important show from this point forward.
“Please, just let me perform. I put in a lot of effort for this. I…” Sophie tried to put up one last fight. However, the director did not waver. “I’m sorry, but the adjustments have been made.”
Sophie and her assistant left through the corridor. She stood in the shadows, staring at Ruka who was seated right beside Ren, then she clenched her teeth. She didn’t expect crossing Ruka would mean the loss of her career.
The performance was a success, and Ruka was in a good mood. The woman she despised didn’t show up after all.
It was half past nine when the show came to an end. She was tired from watching it. Ruka rested her head on Ren’s shoulder and drifted to sleep while they were on their way home.
She didn’t wake up even when they got home, so Ren took her inside himself. Ruka had woken up when Ren picked her up, but she pretended to be asleep anyway. I can have a good night’s sleep. Yay, me. No hunky dory tonight.
That was her plan, at least. She kept pretending to be asleep when Ren was taking her coat and socks off. She lay in his arms, wearing nothing but a layer of clothes.
When Ren finally went into the bathroom, she heaved a sigh of relief and actually drifted to sleep. Ruka even continued her dream.
Vaguely, she felt the edge of the bed moving downward, and then she felt someone pulling her into his warm embrace. Her face was stuck to his chest, and she jolted awake.
“I-1 was already asleep,’ she muttered. Show me a little respect, will you?
“Just go to sleep and ignore me.” He chuckled. He made it sound like he wouldn’t be affected even if she was asleep.
Ruka’s face was red as an apple. She could taste his scent in the air. Guess I can’t run away tonight. She wrapped her arms around his waist and tried to talk sense into him while he had some left. “I’m tired. Just get it over with, alright?”
Ren smirked. Just get it over with? Oh my sweet summer child. “I’ll try to finish as soon as possible,” he said.
“Dr. Silas said you can’t do this too much after you just healed, or it’s gonna be bad for your body. Ruka’s phone rang right after that. She picked it up and was surprised to see that Jethro was the one calling. Why is he calling me?
