Chapter 1231
“And if you fail that one, you might as well forget about the rest of the assessment,” Inara pointed out sardonically. She was never
one to hold back on her candor, though it would help if she didn't have such a sharp tonguc. “If | were you, I'd pack up and go
hright now before | embarrass myself any further.”
“Can’t you just shut up for two seconds, Inara?” Caspian snapped, frowning
“Why?! Are we all treading on eggshells around Ruka now? You know I'm right,” Inara argued, then scoffed as she dragged Michelle
out the door with hier.

Caspian heaved a long sigh after those girls left, and he addressed Ruka curiously, “I don’t know why you failed when you worked
twice as hard as everyone else. Could something have gone
wrong along the way?”
Ruka pursed her lips and forced out a smile as she said, “Just bad luck, | guess.”
In truth, she was a little bitter over this. She had done all her research and submitted all relevant materials for the assessment,
confident that she would pass.
It was lunchtat the cafeteria when Ruka turned into the hallway, only to accidentally bump into someone. She looked up to see
that it was none other than Victoria, who shot her a cold glare before brushing past her.
“Miss Parfait, a word please?” Ruka spoke up boldly.
As though knowing what this would lead to, Victoria arched her brow and said, “I know what you want to talk about, but any
opinions you might have will not change anything.” With this, she had as good as told Ruka that she could slave her days and
nights away to make up for the failing grade and it would not change a thing, because there was no way she would ever let her
pass the assessment.
She's holdingback on purpose.
“Miss Parfait, | was only hoping that you might drop this unfair treatment toward me,” Ruka pointed out calmly.

“Don’t be so pretentious, Ruka. You want to talk about fair treatment? Fine. How about you share that sentiment with Ren? He was
the one who pulled strings to get you into the Translation Department, no questions asked,” Victoria sneered.
Ruka sroze. There was no hiding Victoria's hostility now.
“I'd get out of the department now if | were you. Wouldn't want to end up in another humiliating situation.” There was a jealous
gleam in Victoria's eyes as she gave Ruka a freezing look before storming away.
After that, Ruka made her way back to the office absentmindedly. She never thought she would run into such troubles here at the
workplace, and while she would love to stay in the Translation Department, she knew that she did not stand a chance for progress
if Victoria continued being petty like this.
Upon returning to her desk, Ruka watched as everyone around her got the notice for the second assessment while her inbox
remained empty. There was no better proof of unfair treatment than that.
