Meanwhile, in one of the lounges of the Trantion Department. After the guests were served tea, Ren came out with his phone


    and said to Elijah, “Bring me to her office.”


    After Elijah asked one of the nearby employees, the said employee showed them to Ren’s desired destination, to which thetter


    followed as he took a step forward.


    It was at this time that Ruka just came back from the restroom. Upon opening the door to the internship office, she found


    Caspian reading a book inside. The moment thetter saw how pale she looked, he stood up in a hurry and said, “Ruka, are you


    okay?”


    Slightly dumbfounded, she casually took a seat by the door before she shook her head. “I’m fine.”


    “You don’t look so good.” Caspian brought her mug and gave it to her. “Here, drink some water.”


    As Ruka took a sip of water, Caspian’s eyes lit up with hints of shyness. He then went back to his desk and took out a beautifully


    wrapped box from the drawer before walking back to her. “Ruka, this is for you.”N?vel(D)rama.Org''s content.


    Surprised by the gift, she immediately stood up. “Caspian, what are you...”


    “It''s your birthday present. I’m not sure if it''ll be to your liking,” Caspian exined while bashfully touching his head. “Open it.


    See if you like it.”


    Upon Caspian’s words, Ruka was both confused and grateful. However, as she had forgotten to close the office door, there was


    a tall attractive figure standing just outside. The man did not enter the office, but merely stood outside and watched Caspian


    shyly handing Ruka a gift.


    “It''s just a small token of appreciation, so just ept it.” Caspian was determined in handing his gift to Ruka.


    Oblivious to the eyes of the figure outside the office, Caspian and Ruka locked eyes with one another. Although Ruka hesitated


    slightly, she epted the gift in the end. “Thank you. I’m sure I''ll like it, whatever it may be.”


    Caspian instantly became happy like a child. “Can | give you a hug?”


    Stunned by the request, Ruka was unable to react, as Caspian had already put his arms around her. After a brief moment where


    she rested her head on the man’s shoulder, he let her go and started his confession in a panicked tone. “Ruka, | like you. I’ve


    liked you ever since | first met you.”


    Ruka was thoroughly dumbfounded by the man’s confession, as Caspian’s confession came out of left field for her. She had


    epted his gift thinking that it was because of their friendship.


    Nevertheless, it was at this time that a shriek came from outside the door. “Ahh!”


    Startled by the shrieks of what seemed to belong to womening through the door, both Ruka and Caspian turned toward the


    door and saw Ren standing outside through the ss. Immediately, Ruka widened her eyes in surprise.


    How long has he been standing by the door? Although there was a door between them, Ruka could feel Ren’s fervent gaze on


    her, as though he was disying his irritation at her.


    Caspian was startled as well since he hadn’t expected the vice president to be standing by the door. Just as he excitedly looked


    at him, he was met with an authoritative gaze, one that gave him chills, as Ren looked at him with a cold expression.


    After a brief second, Ren left. Following his departure, Inara and Michelle cried. out in excitement.


    “Oh my God! We got to see him up close! If we knew that he would be here, why did we even bother to go outside?!”


    “So handsome. Who can resist such an attractive man?!”
