Chapter 1233
“As | said, it was only sage advice, and it’s up to you whether to take it or not, Ruka answered calmly, then spun on her heels to
leave.
Victoria stood up as anguish washed over her. She had found sweet revenge in picking on Ruka the way she had, but the rush was
short-lived, and she still could not have Ren to herself. At the end of the day. Ruka might have left, but Victoria felt like the biggest
loser.
Meanwhile, Ruka headed down the sidewalk while gripping onto lier bag. She had left her job. but it was as if a huge weight had
been lifted off her shoulders.

As she walked, she decided that she was going to call Ren and tell him about this. She fished her phone out of her bag and found
her way to the park, then sat on a bench as she called his number.
His husky, magnetic voice filled the other line immediately after he picked up. “Hello?”
“Are you busy?” Ruka asked.
“No, I'm on my way back to the house.”
“l have something to tell you,” she said openly. “I quit my job.”
“Why did you do that?” Then, he asked icily, “Did someone make you?”
While Ruka was technically forced into quitting, she did not want him to pick on Victoria over this, so she chose to evade his
question instead by saying, “I decided to quit all on my own.”
“Where are you now?”
“Walking around the park. I'll go back to my parent's place in a while,” she replied.
“T’ll have someone pick you up.”
“And where will | be going?”

“To see me.”
She wanted to see him badly as well, so she nodded and said, “Okay then. I'll send you my location.”
Twenty minutes later, she slid into the backseat of the car Ren had sent for her. Soon, the car drove out of the bustling cityscape
and into a well-guarded area.
Ruka saw Ren immediately when she arrived at a teahouse. He was sitting at an ornate table that looked like it dated back to the
olden days, making him look like a prince or a king as he went through his documents.
Next to him, Elijah was helping him sort out the paperwork. When he registered Ruka'’s arrival, he smiled and greeted politely,
“Miss Singed, have a seat.”
