“I do. I’ll tell my men to send her over tomorrow,” he said nonchalantly. “That’s great! I needed a cat!” She then said to Walter, “Uncle Walter, I found a rat in the study earlier. I was worried that it might chew on the book, so this is why I wanted a cat to scare it away.”
“Really? Are there mice in the study again? I found one last time too. I think it’s because of the impending winter, making the mice seek somewhere warm,” stated Walter somewhat frustratingly.
“This would happen less if we were in an apartment. But, it’s hard to avoid since we live in a villa.” Scarlet pointed out.
Eating just a few mouthfuls, Walter noticed that Ren’s cup was already empty. He was about to pour him another glass when Scarlet forbade him. “That’s enough. You just concentrate on filling your own glass.”
“It’s so rare that Ren is drinking with us. C’mon, let us have more!” Walter was a bit upset.
At that moment, Ruka was snickering before she matched gazes again with Ren. whose fierce look made her freeze as she stiffened up like an obedient child.
Watching the girl’s smile disappear every time she saw her made a bit perplexed. Am I that scary?
He actually liked to see her smile, for he thought that it was very comforting to look at.
“Ren, I still remember that you had an upset stomach because you didn’t eat properly last time. Look at you, drinking so fast. Do you have something on your mind?” Scarlet looked at her brother curiously since he did not look like he was tasting the wine. He looked more like he was using it to drown his sorrows.
In front of his elder sister, Ren did not dare to act up as he replied, “It’s nothing. I just wanted to drink a glass or two, seeing how joyful Walter is.”
“Don’t tell me you’ve been dumped, Mr. Ren!” joked Ruka.
Hearing this, Scarlet thought that she made sense and was happy again. “Ren, do you have someone you like? Tell me. I can help you.”
Ren had a glimmer shot across his eyes as he looked at Ruka, who pranked him, before snorting. “And why do you say that?”
“I just guessed it. After all, only people who’ve been dumped would drink like this. You’ve already emptied two glasses.” Since Ruka had Scarlet backing her, she became braver and braver.
Scarlet, who suddenly thought this all was logical, asked, “Spill it, Ren. There’s no couple that I can’t match. I can help you.”
Walter spoke up for Ren. “Why are you in such a hurry? Can’t you see how exceptional your brother is? What kind of girl wouldn’t fall in love with him?”
Ruka was feeling a bit guilty now as she was afraid that the man might blame her for bringing this up, but she was dying to know inside! She wanted to know which woman would dare to reject the vice president.
“Ren isn’t actually that ideal. Not only is he busy every single day, he’s also getting older.” As expected of his sister, Scarlet was scrutinizing her brother, thinking that his achievements were over exaggerated.
Yet, Ren suddenly asked the girl, “Do you think I’m old, Ruka?”
Looking up, she blinked in shock upon hearing that she was called out as she started to observe the man.
The word ‘old’ did not have anything to do with the man. Handsome and noble like, every line on his face exuded youthfulness to the point where his features looked almost statue-like. When he smiled, his dimples would only add to his charm.
