Tears instantly rolled down Miaâs cheeks as she looked at Victoria imploringly. âMiss Parfait, could you please allow me to stay? It took me a great deal of effort to get in here, and I donât want to give up just like this.â
Whatâs the use of begging me? If you were smart, you shouldnât have laid a hand on Ruka,â Victoria replied with a snort.
Mia shuddered as though she had noticed from these words how powerful Rukaâs background was.
Ruka entered the office from the outside, only to be stopped by a figure all of a sudden. It was Mia. Al this moment, her delicalc makeup was smudged with tears like that of a female ghost, scaring the hell out of Ruka. âSorry, Ruka! Iâm sorry! Let me apologize to you. Could you please let me off? Please, Iâm begging you.â
Ruka was still puzzled as she had no idea what Mia was up to again.
Miaâs eyes reddened with anxiety as she was overwhelmed with regret. âI just wanted to play a prank on you after seeing you go to the library last night. You can get out of the library by making a phone call, so all I did was lock the door. I really didnât mean to lock you up.â
Upon hearing this, Ruka finally realized why she had been locked in the library. She said angrily, âSo it was your doing.â
âSorry, I know that I was wrong. Please be the bigger person and forgive me!â Mia put her palms together, thinking that Ruka was easily persuadable.
Ruka was kindâhearted, but she wouldnât easily forgive someone like Mia even if the latter begged her for mercy. âYouâre fired, right? If you are, then pack up your stuff and leave. You shouldâve thought of the consequences when you tried to harm me.â She coldly walked past her to go back to her office.
Seeing that her plea had fallen on deaf ears, Mia became even more vicious at this moment. âWhat do you think is so great about you, Ruka? All you have is someone backing you up. You couldnât wait for me to leave so that youâd have one less rival, right?â
Ruka looked back at her. âYou have only yourself to blame for courting death. Who else could you blame?â
Miaâs words were getting fouler by the minute. âDâDidnât you get ahead in your career by sleeping with someone? I wonder how old is the one youâre serving. Youâre such a disgrace to us women. Pffft!â
