There were two gray cars tailing Rukaâs procession. The men in the two cars stared at the fleet of cars in front of them. with a dangerous look in their eyes.
They were not going to act now, but from now on, she would always be under their watchful gaze. Meanwhile, Ren was on a call in his office when Elijah came in with another man.
It was a man in a dark-colored suit. He was over six feet tall and carried himself with an authoritative air. Elijah held his hand out politely and said, âPlease come in, Mr. Presgrave.â
Once Elijah brought the visitor in, he went back to his adjacent office. Less than ten minutes later, he saw one of the staff running toward Renâs office with a stack of documents in his hands. Elijah immediately called out and stopped the man.
âCasey, you canât go in right now. Mr. Husson has an important discussion going on right now.â
âWhat | have here is very important too. | need Mr. Hussonâs signature as soon as possible.â The man, Casey Amherst, waved the documents in front of him.
âDelay it for as long as possible. Iâm certain that Mr. Husson does not wish to be interrupted for any reason right now.â
Elijahâs tone was sterner than usual. Casey became a lot less insistent. Whenever Elijah used that tone, it meant that Ren was in a meeting with someone extremely important.
âWhen should | come back then?â Casey asked a little frantically. âTry coming back in two hours,â Elijah replied.
Casey had no choice but to leave with his documents. Elijah glanced at the door of the office. Ren was currently in a discussion that involved the general elections, and even he did not dare to go in to prepare the tea and coffee for them. For the next two hours, Ren attended to his guest himself. It was Elliot Presgrave.
He was the wealthiest man in the entire country and had built his fortune internationally as well. He commanded a lot of respect, and even though he was a businessman, no one dared to underestimate his influence. Now that he was backing Ren, Elijah believed that Ren would not have any issues in the upcoming elections.
Ruka arrived at the new house. It was a quiet neighborhood without the bustling liveliness of the city center, but it gave her a strong sense of security. Every villa had a butler, and all their needs would be taken care of without having to step foot out of the house.
Robert and Claire had received an extended break, so they could rest until July next year. Ren was the one who informed them of this. Thus, they were in no rush to get back to work abroad. Instead, they could enjoy some peace and quiet back in their home country.
âMom, Dad, do you know what happened?â Ruka asked in shock when she heard the news.
âNothing happened, you silly girl. Ren is just protecting us! Heâs heading into the elections soon and those who wish to unseat him will try to affect him by attacking those around him. Youâre the biggest target, so Ren had the foresight to make sure we're protected,â Robert explained.
Ruka nodded in understanding, while Claire added, âDonât be afraid, Ruka. Ren will keep you safe.â
âMom, Dad, I'm not afraid.â Ruka had a steely look in her eyes. She was determined to accompany him. throughout this challenging period.
