“Really? Thank you, Aunt Scarlet. I will not let you down. Ruka was very glad to have obtained the chance as well since she wanted to be like her parents and be a person that served the country.
“Oh right, haven’t you always wanted to see Richard? He’s here too.” “Right. Richard has always been someone that I looked up to. Although I haven’t officially met him, he’s like a brother in my heart.” Ruka nodded.
“He’s about to get married, so you’ll have a sister-in-law soon.”
Smiling, Ruka replied, “My sister-in-law must be a gentle beauty, then.”
Scarlet nodded and said proudly, “You’re very right on that point.”
“Being so exceptional, Richard must have met someone just as capable as he is.” Even though Ruka did not grow up by her parents’ side, she still received all the love she needed. This meant that her actions were all genuine and kind.
Returning to the Husson Residence, Ruka began unpacking before heading downstairs to give Scarlet and Walter presents. “Aunt Scarlet and Uncle Walter. these are some presents for the both of you. I hope that you’ll like them.”
“Oh, we’ll love anything that you give us.”
Scarlet accepted them happily when a servant came to inform her upon receiving a call, “Madam, the vice president mentioned that he wanted to dine here tonight.”
“Really? Prepare a few more dishes, then.” Scarlet had not seen her brother for quite some time now.
Ruka blinked. “Is Mr. Ren coming?”
When she went abroad, he had yet to ascend to the position of vice president. Now, he was one of the most influential people in the country.
Scarlet smiled and nodded. “That’s right. Ren is coming over. You two have some catching up to do.” Ruka did feel a bit estranged, yet the memories about Ren were deeply ingrained in her.
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.
“Okay. I’ll go take a nap then.” Ruka went back to her room. The long flight back home had left her so fatigued that she slept all the way till evening.
It was that time when a black sedan slowly drove to the courtyard of the Husson Residence.
