Reborn of Kate by Isla Rainfield

Chapter 131 Sorry About That 

“Eric, you’ve got to give me a raise once this is over. That woman is beyond disgusting. Her stare could practically tear through steel! 

*Sob … How much longer do I have to put up with her? I can’t take it anymore, not even for another minute!” 

Miles vented uncontrollably, his stomach churning at the thought of Ruth. He wished he could be as far away from her as possible, but it seemed impossible at the moment. 

“What? It’s going to be that long… This is torture! 

“Okay… I’ll do my best to endure it. I’ll put everything on the line!” 

After hanging up the phone, Miles took a deep breath, trying to compose himself, and then. opened the restroom door and walked out. 

But as soon as he stepped outside, he saw Ruth waiting for him across the way. 

“H–how come you’re waiting for me here?” 

Miles felt a bit awkward and also cautious as he looked at Ruth. 

How long has she been here? How much of the conversation did she overhear? These things must not be known to her. If she finds out, wouldn’t it be all for nought? 

Ruth was taken aback briefly, and then said with a hint of embarrassment, “Sorry, Mr. Miles. I suddenly felt a bit unwell in my stomach, so 

Miles stepped back courteously, apologising, “Sorry for the delay.” 

Then, he turned and quickly walked away. 

Ruth chuckled to herself, watching Miles‘ departure, her eyes glinting with amusement. 

Is Miles so embarrassed that he fled like that? Interesting. 

Miles thought to himself, I’m not running away out of embarrassment. I’m afraid if I stay here one more second, I’ll throw up! 

Meanwhile, in Kate’s office. 

She leaned back in her chair, smiling as she watched the surveillance footage from Miles‘ office on her computer screen. 

Usually, designers at Miles‘ level didn’t prefer having surveillance in their workspace, but this situation was exceptional.

Ruth still had some skills. While she was nowhere near Kate’s level, she managed to hold a decent conversation with Miles. 

After a lengthy discussion, Ruth suddenly appeared enlightened. She stood up and addressed Miles, “Thank you so much for your guidance. I’ve gained a lot from our conversation!” 

Miles smiled graciously. “It was my pleasure.” 

Ruth bowed slightly to Miles, saying, “Thank you, Mr. Miles. I feel inspired now, so I’ll head back to my office!” 

As Ruth hurried to leave, she intentionally stumbled on her step. 

“Oops!” 

She exclaimed in surprise, unfortunately falling towards Miles. 

“Watch out!” 

Despite his strong reluctance, Miles quickly caught Ruth just before she could fall, pulling her into his embrace. 

Ruth almost collided with Miles’s chest, feeling the warmth radiating from him as he held her. It stirred something in her heart. 

In terms of appearance… Miles was no less attractive than Simon! 

Ruth’s mind started racing. If I could win over Miles’s heart, wouldn’t that give me another way out? 

The more she thought about it, the more excited she became. Her face flushed as she gazed at Miles and spoke in a soft voice, T–thank you, Mr. Miles…. 

Miles’s mouth twitched slightly. He wished he could chop off those hands. However, he managed a forced smile and said, “You’re welcome. Just be more careful next time.”
