Chapter 1049
Since then, she had been actively avoiding Ren, for she had feared how stern he was.
“H–He‘s the vice–president now?” Ruka was in disbelief as to how he got the position at such a young age.
Smiling, Scarlet asked, “Why? Are you afraid of him?”
Indeed, she was a bit afraid of him. Now that he‘s the vice–president, doesn‘t that mean that he would only be
more imposing?But, even if I‘m scared of him, I can‘t just say it out loud. Though they were not related by blood
and he was technically not her uncle, she still treated and respected him as one.
Scarlet, who noticed Ruka spacing out, comforted her, “You don‘t need to be so scared of him. After all, it‘s not as if
he‘ll devour you. You just have to catch up with him during dinner. If you build a proper rapport, he can even look
after you when you work in the translation department.”
Ruka nodded shyly, thinking that she might have unknowingly used nepotism to get the job.
“Rest up now! I‘ll call you when it‘s time for dinner,” said Scarlet.

she slept all the way till evening.
It was that time when a black sedan slowly drove to the courtyard of the Husson Residence.
As the bodyguard opened the door, a tall figure emerged from the car, emanating a very dominating aura.
The butler, who was trimming the tree, wanted to quickly climb down the ladder to greet him when the ladder tilted
to one side due to his hastiness, which caused it to fall toward Ren.
Fortunately, Ren‘s bodyguard stabilized the ladder in time before angrily stating, “You nearly hit the vice–
president.”
“I do apologize, sir. I only wanted to come down and greet you.” The butler was shocked as he merely wanted to
pay his respect.
“It‘s fine. Just be careful.” The man had a calm voice with no signs of anger.
This only made the butler even guiltier. The vice–president‘s temper really commands one‘s respect
Meanwhile, Scarlet was cleaning the vegetables with the servants in the kitchen, as she wanted to cook Ruka‘s
favorite dish tonight. With her absolute favorite being the barbeque pork ribs, Scarlet made sure to personally cook
for her with lots of love.
In the living room, Ren was sitting on the couch when he looked in the direction of the staircase and asked, “I heard
that Miss Singed is back, right?” The servant informed him, “Yes, Young Mistress Ruka is still resting upstairs. She is
very tired from the flight back.” In this household, Ruka was addressed as the young mistress.
“Oh!” Ren loosened his tie, his handsome face looking unbothered.
“Have some tea, Mr. Husson. Old Master Lloyd has gone out, but I believe he‘ll be back soon. Madam Falkner is in
the kitchen cooking for the young mistress.”
“Alright.” He nodded and sipped on the tea.
Sitting on the couch, he decided to stand up and walk around after ten minutes or so since he had been sitting all
day in his office. Remembering that there was a study on the second floor and that his brother–in–law had a lot of
books there, he wanted to do some reading to kill time.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmMeanwhile in the master bedroom on the second floor, Ruka was already awake. She had just unpacked the books
she brought home this time and was thinking of putting them in the study as she knew that Walter liked to read.
That was why half of her suitcase was allocated for just the books.
In one go, she carried all the books from her room before getting startled by a silhouette upon exiting.
“Ah!” The books in her hand all fell with a huge commotion.
Stunned, the first thing Ren saw was a stunning, youthful lady.
“Long time no see, child.” He smirked and bent down to pick up the books.
“Oh my, Mr. Ren, let me do it!” Ruka quickly crouched down, wanting to get ahead of him when she saw him picking
up the books. However, instead of grabbing the book, she grabbed the man‘s slender yet large pair of hands.
