There was a pile of documents stacked up on Elijah’s desk and he had received several calls with
urgent reminders, but all he could do was hold the fort down for now. He glanced at his watch and saw
that two hours had passed.
Just then, he heard the door to the main office opening. Ren came out first and he stepped aside to let
Elliot pass. As leaders in their respective fields, they were equals in every way, and when they stood
together, it only proved that birds of a feather did indeed flock together.
They were both men that belonged to the top 1% of society and were innate leaders among men. Their
presence and aura could not be mimicked or faked. It was something that could only come naturally.
“Sir, I will see Mr. Presgrave out,” Elijah came over and said. Ren held his hand out to Elliot who shook

“Yes, there’s no need for you to send me off. Let’s check our schedules and find a time to invite Richard
out for a meal, just the three of us,” Elliot said with a smile. They exchanged a look of understanding
and empathy for one another.
“Certainly. Let’s do it when we’re all free.” Ren nodded and smiled.
Elijah did feel a little pressured as he stood beside the two of them. He was a pretty good-looking man
himself, but standing in front of these two, he had to admit that they were the finest men who exuded
an aura of leadership.
Elijah walked Elliot out to the parking lot outside. One of the bodyguards opened the door for Elliot and
he slid in before saying to Elijah courteously, “Thank you for seeing me out, Mr. Jackman.”
“You’re most welcome. Goodbye, Mr.. Presgrave,” Elijah replied and watched as the procession of
bulletproof cars drove off.
Then, Elijah returned to the office and. brought the pile of documents to Ren, who was standing in front
of the French window with a cup of coffee. He seemed to be in deep thought.
“Did everything go smoothly, Sir?” Elijah asked in concern. “Yes. Very smoothly.” Ren nodded.
“Miss Singed has arrived safely at her parents’ new villa. The Singeds won’t be leaving their house for
the next few days. They will be under our protection at all times,” Elijah reported.
Ren narrowed his eyes. He could not help but think that Ruka would be bored out of her mind if she

Just then, Ren’s phone rang, and he picked it up. “Yes, Scarlet?”
“Ren, did you send Ruka back to her parents? It’s Christmas Eve today. Do you think it’d be alright if
we invited them to join us for a celebration?”
“I’m a little swamped today, Scarlet. I’ll let Elijah handle the arrangements.”
“Alright. Come home for dinner once you’re done with work. Mom and Dad are here too.”
Ren’s heart tightened. “Scarlet, make sure Dad doesn’t find out about my relationship with Ruka.”
“Relax. Everyone’s on high alert right now. No one will inform Dad about it before the elections. We
know what his temper’s like,” Scarlet assured him before adding a reminder. “Don’t work too late.. You
need to take care of your health too.”
