She blushed at his sentimental tone, but she stood her ground and gave a firm shake of her head as she said, “No, | can’t just have

you bankroll me. | want to make something of myself: | don’t want to stay idle.”

A small smile curled on his lips as he asked teasingly. “Is it that embarrassing to be a housewife!

“It's not embarrassing.” Ruka countered in a flustered manner. “I just want to accomplish something and have a career of my own,

you know? | don’t want to be one of those ladies of leisure.”

Ren’s brow’s furrowed at this and he scolded, “You'll still be precious tono matter what you become.”

She felt her heart somersault happily in her chest, but her mind scrambled to veer away from this topic of her becoming a lady of

leisure. She cleared her throat and said evasively, “What did you ask Elijah to do? Is it something personal?”

He was tight-lipped about it as he answered, “You could say that.”

Fecling awkward, she took a sip of the tea he had given her earlier and pursed her lips, then asked, “What do you want for your

birthday? Letknow so | can get it ready in time.”

Ren tapped his knuckles against her forehead and said huflily, “Where's the meaning in that? You'll have to figure out what | want

all by yourself if you want to givea gift.”

“But you have everything you could possibly need, and you only use the best. Con, help a girl out!” she argued, pouting. She

just wanted him to point her in the right direction so that she would not mess up his gilt.

“l don’t have everything | need,” he said devilishly as he fixed his dark, hungry gaze on her. “| still need a woman.”

To think, she had just steered the conversation away from romance, only to be roped back into yet another heart-racing situation.

She had to give it to him. Who would have thought that underneath the affable-but-stern vice president exterior hid a smooth

talker?

Ruka pursed her lips to keep from laughing, but she flushed as she pointed out, “You can have any woman you want. Just say the

word and any girl would throw herself at you.”

Ren brought his cup to his lips and drank his tea, then muttered, “And yet, you still haven't.”

She gaped at him. I guess | should have seen that coming, she thought rucfully.

In another attempt to change the subject, she said brightly, “I wonder when Aunt Scarlet and Uncle Walter are coming back. | do

miss them.”
