Chapter 1234
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

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.”

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.”
