Chapter 1180
Inara discreetly sized Michelle up and thought to herself that she would be the one scoring a glance from Ren, given she was the better–looking one.
As Victoria followed behind the crowd, she stared at the man who was exuding attractiveness from every pore at every second, entirely spellbound. Back in the office, Ruka couldn’t bear a second longer here, so she excused herself to go to the restroom. However, the direction she was heading was toward the main hall. Just as she entered the central garden, she came to a complete stop, as she saw Ren and his group coming in from the other side of the garden.
With her heart raised, Ruka quickly hid behind a pillar. Then, with a behavior that could only be known as a fan girl, she poked her head out from the pillar and watched the tall man communicating with the guests from a dozen meters away. The man at work gave off a distinct quality, a riveting one. Even when standing next to the taller foreign guests, the man still didn’t lose out, as he exuded a captivating presence in the midst of his cheerful conversation. If the people around him were like the stars in the night sky, then he was the moon–the center of
attention.
It was at this moment that Ruka had a thought: Why did the man feel distant even though he was just mere meters away from her? But, she knew very well why. The distance she felt came from the difference in their identities, in their social status in society. With how dignified and distinguished the man was, he was in a far higher position than that of a common man. On the other hand, she was just part of the ordinary mass of society with nothing to her that was worth mentioning. Unwittingly, even at such a time, she remembered the incident last night and how he asked her to go out with him. She couldn’t help but doubt just why such an excellent man would fall for someone like her.
Ruka felt she wasn’t someone outstanding, as she was just a very ordinary person. Even now as she stood behind the pillar, having no notable achievements under her belt, her future remained blank. With all these facts, she wondered just why that man liked her. No matter how much she racked her brains over this, she couldn’t find an answer.
