As Ruka left the room, she bumped into Elijah, even though the latter had tried to avoid her. âMiss Singed.â However, she couldnât greet him back, as tears welled in her eyes. She was afraid of others seeing through her sadness, so she wanted to find a place to be alone for a while. Hence, she went to the restroom and hid in one of the compartments. Whenever she lifted her head, her small face was full of tears as an inexplicable sadness continued to wash over her.
By the door, Elijah kept glancing at his watch, as they had plans to accompany the guests to their next destination. However, the man he was waiting for inside hadnât left the room. Afraid that he would disturb the man, he couldnât enter the room and could only stew in anxiety. If Iâm not mistaken, Miss Singed looked sad with her eyes red when she left the room. Did Sir quarrel with her?
Finally, the door of the conference room opened and Ren stepped out with his usual indifferent expression. âLetâs go,â he said to Elijah.
âSir, are you alright?â Elijah was worried, and he couldnât help but continue, âMiss Singed didnât With a slight frown, Ren stopped in his tracks and turned his head to Elijah. âWhat about her?â
âShe didnât look too good,â replied Elijah.
After a faint sigh, Ren said, âWhereâs Victoriaâs office? Bring me there.â
Elijah nodded as a response and led Ren toward a hallway.
Meanwhile, Victoria had just returned to her office. She was originally happy when she knew Ren was still around. However, she never thought that he would ignore her the entire time he was around. This made her heart grow cold, which was why she had ruthlessly said those things to Ruka. She really hated it.
Just then, Victoriaâs assistant entered in a hurry and said, âMr. Husson is coming here. Miss Parfait, hurry and fix your makeup!â
Immediately on her feet, Victoria excitedly asked, âReally? Is he really coming this way?â
âYes! I think heâs here to see you.â Since this assistant of Victoriaâs had been with her for many years, she naturally knew that Ren was someone she fancied.
