My Baby’s Daddy Chapter 1121

At that moment, she was in a frenzied state. She pulled open the door to the room and ran downstairs to search for her cell phone with her long hair billowing freely in a messy state.

She thoughi. It should be on the couch.

However, she had just arrived downstairs when she noticed that Ren was currently all suited up and standing in front of the doorway as he spoke with a young man.

Al that moment, Ruka was significantly startled. She was currently dressed in Ren‘s shirt, and the wide lapels of the shirt emphasized her slender and slim figure. Her tlowing: dark luscious hair was loose at the back of her head and her rosy checks made her look quite adorable. She had ruby red lips, and there was a slightly dazed look in her eyes. It was quite carly in the morning, but the scene was kind of seductive and yet innocent at the same time.

Ren‘s eyes widened, and he was shocked by the scene in front of him. He instantly shou a sharp look at his personal assistant, Elijah. Initially, Elijah had his eyes intently on Ruka, but as soon as Elijah noticed Ren‘s sharp look, he instantly retracted his gaze and kept his eyes to himself. He stopped staring at what he was not supposed to look at

Meanwhile, Elijah thought to himself, It‘s no wonder Mr. Husson looked sleep–deprived today. It‘s because someone else filled up his sleep time. This is the first time ever that I‘ve seen a girl in Mr. Husson‘s house. Does this mean that he‘s no longer the most sought–after bachelor in town?

However, at that moment, the girl addressed Ren, and Elijah was instantly dumbfounded

“Mr. Ren, did you see my bag?” She asked in a clear voice, but there was an evident note of anxiety in her voice.

Ren pointed at the couch. “It‘s over there.”

Ruka ran over to grab her bag, and she quickly took a glance at her cell phone.

Subsequently, she exclaimed loudly, “Ah! It‘s nine o‘clock! I‘m late for work!”

Elijah swiftly came to his senses at that point. Hold on! Is she Miss Singed, who usually stays at Husson Residence?! I‘m quite honored to have met her for the first time. She‘s cute.

Ruka grabbed her bag and the jacket she left on the couch last night. Her hair was unkempt, she hadn‘t even freshened up, and the shirt she had on clearly belonged to a male. She turned to Ren and said, “Mr. Ren, could you get your bodyguards to send me to the Translation Department? I‘m late for work.”

“I‘ll apply for time off on your behalf,” Ren suggested in a low voice.

Instinctively, Ruka stopped him, and she hastily put on her jacket. “No. I don‘t want to ask for time off.”

Besides, if he were the one to make the request on her behalf, she would never be

able to shake off being labeled as gaining her job through connections. Moreover, Victoria was very infatuated with Ren, and if Victoria found out about their relationship, Ruka would have a tough time in the Translation Department.

My Baby’s Daddy Chapter 1122

“How can you possibly go to work in this attire?” Ren frowned as he looked at her.

Ruka instantly pulled her loose hair into a ponytail quite adeptly, and then she unbuttoned the first two buttons on the loose male shirt she had on before tying a knot around the waist. She managed to transform her outfit into quite a casual style.

After Ruka did all that, she turned to look at Ren smugly. “Look, I‘m all set to go to work now.”

There was a flash of a smile and a doting look in Ren‘s eyes as he turned to say to Elijah, “Send her to the Translation Department.”

“Sure, Miss Singed, this way please.” Elijah instantly responded to Ren‘s instruction.

Ruka waved at Ren slightly shyly. “Bye, I‘ll be on my way then.”

Ren stopped her by voicing out in a low voice, “Hold on.”

Before Ruka could react, he had made his way toward her, and his slender fingers quite naturally went to her neck. He then tucked her upturned collar neatly for her. There was a jolt to Ruka‘s heart, and she trembled slightly. She could distinctly feel the warmth of his fingers on her neck, and she couldn‘t help lifting her head to look at him.

He was currently standing against the sunlight, and in close proximity, he had an intent and focused expression on his handsome face until he sensed her eyes on him. At that point, he turned his eyes on her and gazed soulfully at her.

Ruka felt a hitch in her breathing and her heart skipped a beat too. The look in his eyes seemed to engulf her like the dark night skies.

Just then, it felt as if time had come to a standstill and Ruka could only see his deep, soulful gaze as he glanced at her slightly tenderly and full of affection.

In that short moment, they seemed to have experienced a heartfelt exchange.

She came to her senses and instantly blushed bright red as she frantically turned around and rushed in the direction of Elijah‘s car.

She got into Elijah‘s car, but she didn‘t even have the courage to look out the window and take a look at Ren. She behaved furtively like a thief who had just stolen something and was in a haste to leave the crime scene.

Perhaps the item that she had stolen was the lofty Mr. Vice–president‘s heart.

Along the way, while Elijah was focused on the road, he tried to lighten the atmosphere.

“Miss Singed, are you working at the Translation Department?”

My Baby’s Daddy Chapter 1123

“Yes, I just started my internship yesterday.” Ruka couldn‘t contain her smile as she spoke, “But I‘m late on my second day of work.”

“It‘s fine. You‘re just an intern. You‘re not involved in any important task, so they won‘t blame you for being late,” Elijah comforted her.

Ruka hoped so too, but she knew that she deserved to be criticized for her bad behavior.

“Oh, by the way, Miss Singed, your birthday‘s coming up soon. Is there anything particular that you want?” Elijah suddenly asked.

Surprised, Ruka asked, “How did you know that my birthday was coming up?”

Elijah responded with a smile. “I was the one who sent off those presents from Mr. Husson in the past by courier.” Elijah had just finished speaking when Ruka‘s eyes widened in surprise. She suddenly realized that quite a while ago, she would always receive a mysterious gift every year on her birthday. There was no sender information–name and address–on the present, and it was merely labeled ‘Happy Birthday:

Could those mysterious gifts be from Ren?

“Did you select that necklace as my birthday present last year?” Ruka probed him by asking..

“Oh! I wasn‘t the one who selected the present. Mr. Husson did that personally. He

usually selects the present for you every year, and I‘m just the one to courier it to you.” Elijah didn‘t realize that Ruka was probing for information, so he revealed everything to her frankly.

Meanwhile, Ruka, who was seated in the backseat, was quite stunned and in shock. So it‘s true that all the mysterious presents in the past years came from him!

For a moment there, she felt flustered, and yet she couldn‘t contain her joy. It felt wonderful to be cared for without even realizing it.

She couldn‘t help recalling the kiss from last night, making her blush shyly at the thought of that moment. Inside the quiet car, she could practically hear the frantic thuds of her heartbeat.

The car arrived at the Translation Department, and Ruka immediately rushed into her office. However, she realized that the office was empty and that there was not a

single staff member to be seen. One of the cleaners currently cleaning the corridor reminded her kindly, “They‘re in a meeting.”

“Okay, thanks.” Ruka hastily ran off in the direction of the meeting room, and she knocked before pushing open the door.

At that moment, Victoria was seated in the main seat while the other permanent staff and interns were seated to the sides.

“I‘m sorry for arriving late.” Ruka immediately found a spot and took a seat.

My Baby’s Daddy Chapter 1124

Victoria shot a displeased look in Ruka‘s direction, and before Ruka had the chance to speak, Victoria snorted, “This is just the second day of work and yet you‘re late! Who do you think you are?!”

Ruka pursed her lips and remained silent.

“You‘re currently wearing a man‘s shirt, huh? Don‘t tell me you wore your dad‘s shirt out?! Hah!” Inara was quite sharp–eyed. She noticed that Ruka had a man‘s white shirt underneath her jacket and couldn‘t help but mock Ruka.

As such, everyone‘s eyes landed on Ruka‘s white shirt underneath her jacket. Her sleeves were too long, so part of her shirt sleeve was hanging out of her jacket sleeve. Instantly, Ruka blushed. This isn‘t my dad‘s shirt!

Nonetheless, Victoria was quite sharp–eyed too, and she couldn‘t contain her surprise as her eyes widened. The white shirt Ruka had on evidently wasn‘t an ordinary shirt, and it didn‘t come from any ordinary men‘s clothing store. It looked custom–made and quite exclusive. Furthermore, the style of the shirt and the intricate art on the sleeves were quite familiar to her.

Victoria had only seen the sapphire gemstone cufflinks on one person before, and it was usually on a shirt that Ren usually wore.

At that moment, Victoria felt her chest heave heavily. Could it be that she spent the night at Ren‘s house?! What sort of extreme acts did they get into for him to rip her clothes to pieces and leave her no choice but to wear his clothes?!

Instantly, an illicit scene popped up in Victoria‘s mind and she couldn‘t help feeling jealous and quite shocked.

Victoria stood up abruptly and turned to Ruka, “Ruka, come with me for a moment.”

Ruka stood up from her spot and followed Victoria to the corridor outside. Ruka thought that Victoria wanted to say something to her outside but Victoria pushed open the doors to a vacant meeting room next door and entered the room. Once Victoria entered the room, she kept her eyes intently on the male shirt Ruka had on and narrowed her eyes. “Did you spend the night at the vice–president‘s house last night?”

Ruka didn‘t expect Victoria to be able to tell that she had spent the night at Ren‘s by just a single look. Ruka was significantly startled. Before Ruka could react, Victoria continued to question Ruka, “Did you guys spend the night with each other?”

Ruka was still quite innocent and couldn‘t stand where this topic was heading, so she quickly waved Victoria off and shook her head. “No! That‘s not it, Miss Parfait. Don‘t jump to the wrong conclusion. There is nothing going on between the two of us. Nothing happened at all.”

My Baby’s Daddy Chapter 1125

Victoria watched as Ruka explained herself, and Victoria trusted Ruka’s words because Ruka clearly didn’t look like one who was adept at lying.

At that moment, Victoria heaved a silent sigh of relief. “Your relationship with the vice–president seems to be much closer than I expected. Do you have feelings for him?”

Ruka glanced at Victoria with a stunned expression, and for a moment there, Ruka didn‘t quite know whether to nod or shake her head.

However, before Ruka could say anything, Victoria had spoken up solemnly, “I have feelings for him though, and I‘ve been pursuing him for the past five years. Over these five years, I‘ve been deeply infatuated with him to an extreme state. Ruka, are you planning to vie for the attention of the same man too?”

Victoria had a threatening look in her eyes, and Ruka felt immense pressure. Ruka‘s mind was a mess at the moment, and she didn‘t know how to register Ren‘s confession from the previous night.

“Ruka, I hope we don‘t end up as rivals in love. You‘re quite young, and Ren‘s age is not suitable for you. You can find someone around your age to get together with. For me though, I‘ve waited for him for five years, so I will never give up.” Victoria said that without any intention of listening to Ruka‘s explanation at all. Victoria merely patted Ruka on the shoulders. “Make sure to turn up to work on time from now on.”

After Victoria said that, she opened the door and left the room.

Ruka stood in front of the meeting room, and her mind was a mess. Last night she had just found out that Ren was in love with her, and she hadn‘t even come to her senses from that shocking discovery, but today, Victoria had delivered this warning so swiftly.

Ruka was in a confused state at the moment when her cell phone suddenly went off. She reached out and lifted it to take a look. It was Scarlet on the line, so Ruka hurriedly answered the call.

“Hi, Aunt Scarlet!”

..

“Ruka, Uncle Walter and I have suddenly received a short–notice invitation overseas, so we‘ll be away for about one month. I think you should stay at Ren‘s place for the coming month.”

“Huh? Aunt Scarlet, I–I can‘t stay with Mr. Ren. I would be a disruption to his life.”

Ruka instantly rejected the suggestion without giving it any consideration at all.

“That‘s not true. Ren was the one who suggested that you stay with him. I had intended to send you over to stay with your aunt, but I considered that the commute time from there to the Translation Department would take rnore than an hour each day, so I was worried that it would be a hindrance to your work.” Scarlet had already planned everything for Ruka.

My Baby’s Daddy Chapter 1126

At that moment, Ruka‘s eyes widened in surprise. Mr. Ren actually suggested that I stay with him?! That would be such an inconvenience! We‘re the opposite gender, after all, so we should keep a distance!

“Aunt Scarlet, I think it would be better for me to stay with my aunt. I can wake up earlier each day and head home later. I wouldn‘t want to disrupt Mr. Ren‘s life,” Ruka insisted.

“What‘s going on? Don‘t tell me that you‘re afraid of staying under the same roof as him?!” Scarlet couldn‘t help cracking a joke.

However, this was not a joke to Ruka as it was a fact. She was indeed quite afraid of Ren.

“Don‘t worry, he doesn‘t bite. Besides, he‘s so busy with work every day. You‘ll basically just be sleeping in that house, and you guys won‘t encounter each other too much. I‘ve spoken to your parents about this, and they‘re quite pleased with this arrangement.”

At that point, Ruka was rendered speechless.

“Oh! By the way, once we get back, I‘ll introduce you to Richard and his wife.” Scarlet hung up the phone after saying that.

Meanwhile, Ruka was left staring at her cell phone, and she was quite dumbfounded. Do I really have to move into Ren‘s house for the time being? Help! I really don‘t want to!

Ruka pushed open the doors to the meeting room and entered the room. She walked in to find that the meeting had ended and everyone was gone, so she went back to the office. She had just walked in when Inara started to mock her mercilessly, “Ruka, does that shirt you have on belong to your father?”

Ruka was unperturbed, and she didn‘t even plan to respond to that at all.

“Don‘t tell me that it belongs to your boyfriend?!” Inara continued to pursue the topic.

At that moment, Ruka blushed. Evidently, if it didn‘t belong to her father, then it would belong to her boyfriend because there wouldn‘t be any other possibility of it belonging to another man.

Ruka went back to her seat and flicked through the notebook that she had finished translating last night. She then started working on translating the document in her hands. Just then, her cell phone went off once again, and she took a look at it. On the caller ID, the name ‘Ren‘ appeared.

Startled, she stood up abruptly and rushed outside to a secluded spot devoid of people in the garden before answering the call, “Hi, Mr. Ren!”

“Do you have an issue with staying at my place?” On the other end, a low male voice rang out, and he was persistent in getting an answer.

Ruka‘s expression froze at that point. Gosh! Seriously?! Did Aunt Scarlet give him a call after talking to me?

My Baby’s Daddy Chapter 1127

“Well.. I really don‘t want to disrupt your life. I can stay at my friend‘s place, and it‘s close to town too.” Ruka bravely rejected him.

“I wouldn‘t feel at ease with that,” he instantly responded.

At that point, Ruka realized that she hadn‘t specified that she would be staying with a girl friend, so she added, “Don‘t worry. She‘s a girl, and you met her the other day. She‘s my best friend. I honestly don‘t want to disrupt your life.”

Ruka clearly indicated her opinion from the way she spoke, and she was quite reluctant to stay with him.

On the other end, he remained silent for a few seconds before responding, “Alright. It‘s up to you then.” Subsequently, he hung up the phone.

Ruka felt her heart skip a beat. He hung up the phone so quickly! Is he mad at me?

She was at a loss for what to do at that moment so she turned around and instantly dialed Rita‘s number.

“You brat! Why didn‘t you tell me in advance that the vice president would be the

one to fetch you last night? This is such an important matter and yet you didn‘t even bother to inform me!”

“Did you get a fright?” Ruka asked sympathetically.

“What do you think?! I was frightened out of my wits. If something bad had happened to you, would he have skinned me alive?”

“That‘s enough. I‘ll have to stay at your place for the time being for the next month or so. Am I welcome to stay with you?”

“Why?”

“Aunt Scarlet will be going overseas and she won‘t be back until next month, so I‘ve got nowhere to stay. It‘s been ages since anyone tidied up my house. Besides, I‘m afraid to stay by myself, so I plan to crash at your place.”

“Sure, just come over then. Is the vice president your biological uncle?”

“No, he‘s Aunt Scarlet‘s brother and that‘s why I have to address him as Mr. Ren. I‘ve only met him less than ten times in my life since I was a child,” Ruka explained

“But he took you into his arms and carried you into the car. Did you touch him inappropriately in the car?” Rita‘s teasing voice clearly indicated that she wanted to listen to Ruka make a fool of herself.

“You‘re so annoying! What‘s exactly going on in your mind?” Ruka chided Rita with a roll of her eyes.

“Gosh, it‘s so silly of you to let this opportunity go to waste. If I were in your position, I would have hugged him tightly in my drunken state.”

Ruka‘s pretty face burned as she hastily replied, “That‘s enough. Stop talking about this. I need to get back to work.“

My Baby’s Daddy Chapter 1028

“Go ahead then. Bring me along next time if you have the chance to meet him. I want to catch another glimpse of him.”

“Sure. I‘ll let you know once I get the chance.” Ruka was unable to promise Rita anything. After all, not everyone was able to meet Ren just like that.

Ruka went back to the office, and as she walked past the corridor, Mia purposely stuck dùt her feet to trip Ruka. Ruka stumbled to the front and somehow landed on Caspian. Caspian reached out to steady Ruka. “Are you alright?”

Ruka shook her head. “I‘m fine.” After Ruka said that, she turned around and stood in front of Mia while staring at the latter with an angry expression. “Why did you do that?”

Mia faced Ruka fearlessly. “What did I do? I was just stretching my legs and hips, that‘s all. I didn‘t expect you to trip over me. My leg hurts now because of you! Aren‘t you going to apologize to me?”

“You...” Ruka‘s pretty face turned red out of anger.

“Mia, we‘re all colleagues here. This is too much!” Caspian came over and stood up for Ruka.

“Gosh, Caspian. Don‘t tell me that you‘ve really fallen for her. We‘re not just ordinary colleagues. Each of us are rivals too. You need to watch out. She might be the one to eliminate you.” Mia sneered coldly and got up before turning to Michelle, “Do you need a toilet break?”

Michelle instantly got up and went out with Mia. Ruka went back to her spot and

massaged in between her brows. She could still feel the lingering headache due to the

after–effects of too much alcohol.

She clicked into her email and saw that there was an urgent assignment meant to test the interns‘ skills, and the ten–thousand–word Chinese assignment had to be handed in before eight in the morning the next day. Ruka was dumbfounded by that, and upon scanning the details of the assignment, she realized that the assignment was about a topic that she wasn‘t familiar with.

At that moment, Caspian came over and asked her, “Ruka, have you seen the email?”

“Yes, I‘ve seen it. It‘s quite a complicated assignment,” Ruka responded.

“Don‘t worry. There is an old book depository in the Translation Department, and there is plenty of information on this topic there. I‘ve just come back from the book depository. You should go over to search for the answers too,” Caspian gave her some

pointers.

“Thank you.” Ruka nodded with an expression full of gratitude.

“You can go over there any time after work too. It‘s a public information site, so it‘s always open.”

Ruka smiled. “Sure thing.”

Ruka was still busy composing her assignment even when it was time to clock off. After making multiple corrections to her draft, she finally made up her mind and ended up paying a visit to the book depository. She registered on the internal operating system and entered the place. Just as she walked in, Mia‘s figure suddenly appeared from behind.

My Baby’s Daddy Chapter 1129

Mia saw Ruka walk inside, and Mia took another look at the iron gates before sneering coldly. Ruka, you‘ll just have to spend the night inside!

Inside the room, Ruka managed to find a book that would be quite useful for her topic, so she took a seat in front of the french windows and started perusing the book. As the lights started to get dimmer, she took a look at her wristwatch and noticed that it was now seven o‘clock at night.

She got up and walked to the entrance, but she saw that the door–which was open when she walked in—was now shut. She reached out to twist the doorknob, but the door appeared to be locked from the outside.

“Is there anyone outside? I need some help please.” Ruka voiced out toward the door, but she didn‘t receive any response at all.

She realized that this was an old book depository and that there were no offices along

the entire corridor. Everyone would have hit off from work by now, so there wouldn‘t

be anyone available to help her.

The sky started to darken outside, and she reached out to flick the switch to switch on the lights. However, the lights were non–functional and despite her multiple tries, there was no power at all. She started to panic by then. What‘s going on here? The door‘s locked and now even the lights are non–functional?

The door was locked because Mia had placed a lock outside the door and the lights were non–functional because the switches to the room were on the other end of the corridor so Mia had conveniently flicked the switch off the main power board.

Therefore, the entire corridor to the book depository turned into a pitch–black area.

.

Ruka hollered loudly for quite some time, but no one turned up. She started to develop fear by then because the entire book depository had descended into complete darkness. She would have to spend the night here if no one turned up.

At that moment, Ruka took out her cell phone and was about to call for help, but she wondered, Who can I seek help from?

Access to the Translation Department was monitored strictly and only authorized personnel were allowed entry, so there was only one person that popped into Ruka‘s mind whom she could seek help from. Ren was the only person she could think of. All he had to do was make a call to the Translation Department office, and surely he would be able to send someone to rescue her.

My Baby’s Daddy Chapter 1030

Ruka felt embarrassed when she recalled how Ren had hung up on her today. It feels so embarrassing to ask him for help while refusing to live at his place. Still, she had no intention of spending the night here. Taking out her cell phone, she found his phone number and called him, nervously waiting for the phone call to be answered.

Ren‘s deep and husky voice sounded especially charming in the quiet and spacious study. “Hello.”

“Hey, Mr. Ren, are you busy? I have a favor to ask of you,” Ruka asked with an ingratiating note in her voice.

“Mm–hmm. Shoot!” The man‘s voice sounded emotionless.

She pleaded, “I‘m now locked inside the translation department‘s library. Could you please call the department‘s office to send someone to get me out of here?” She felt mortified for having to bother the vice president with such a trifling matter.

His voice instantly took on a hint of urgency. “How did you get locked in there?”

“I lost track of time while reading just now. Perhaps the person who locked the door didn‘t realize that I was still inside. Also, the lights here aren‘t working. It‘s so dark. I‘m scared,” she said as she aired her grievances.

“Don‘t panic, okay? I‘ll be there right away,” he said, comforting her in a deep voice.

“Huh? You‘re coming? Why such trouble? All you need to do is make a phone call—”

Ren interrupted her, saying, “I‘m nearby.”

Even though Ruka wanted the man to save her, she didn‘t want him to come in person. “But you don‘t have to make a special effort to come here just for this. Just make a phone call instead. Surely there are still people in the translation department.”

Ren was obviously unwilling to make the phone call, though. He replied firmly, “Don‘t worry. Just be patient and wait for me. I‘ll be there in a minute.” With that, he hung up.

As a result, now Ruka was even more stressed out. Oh, no! How embarrassing! Not only am I trapped here, but the vice president is now taking the trouble to come personally to save me. Nevertheless, she stopped shouting for help.

However, it was really dark outside. Thanks to the thick branches outside the window, it was pitch–dark inside the room.
