in Ren’s expression, that indifferent demeanor of his was enough to cause others to hold their breath in front of him. Ruka was

doing so at the moment. With her eyes, as big as a puppy was when it did something wrong, tinged with panic, she held her breath

as she waited for the man to speak.

“Explain tojust what happened there.” Ren raised his head and gazed deeply at Ruka. His frown indicated he was upset.

Being gazed at the man this way, Ruka couldn’t help but feel aggrieved at how serious Ren’s expression was in questioning her. It's

not like I've made a huge mistake. Nevertheless, she reluctantly

explained, “He's Caspian Gibbons, a colleague of mine. He prepared a birthday gift for me, and | hugged him as thanks. That's all.”

“Did you reject him?” Ren continued his questioning.

Ruka blinked at Ren’s question. Is he talking about Caspian’s confession? It was then that Victoria's words cback to her mind

With Victoria's words in mind, she pursed her lips briefly before she took a deep breath and said, “I think | like him, so I'm

considering accepting his confession. Mr. Ren, I'm sorry, but | can’t reciprocate your feelings. Our age gap is just too big. Plus, |

prefer someone around my age.” When she finished speaking her mind, she hung her head low, as she hadn't the courage to face

the man. Then, without a moment's delay, she ran out of the room.

The man, who was left behind, had his lips tightly pressed together in a small frown. His Adam’s apple constantly moved up and

down as he tried to suppress the surge of emotions coming from within.
