Chapter 132 Playing Hard to Get
Ruth left Miles‘ office feeling very satisfied. She kept her head down shyly with her face flushed. She glanced around quickly to see if anyone was watching and then hurried back to her office.
“Ruth, what took you so long? What were you talking about with Mr. Miles in his office?”
A designer who was close to Ruth immediately asked when she saw her return.
Ruth paused for a moment and said shyly, “Oh, nothing much. Mr. Miles just gave me a lot of advice on my design and guided me on how to revise my drafts.”
The designer smiled and teased Ruth when she noticed her bright red face, “Why is your face so red if you guys were just talking about work?”
Ruth immediately covered her face and stammered, “Oh, stop it, Jane.”
After saying that, she ran off.
Jane Quinn watched Ruth leave with a peculiar glint in her eyes and silently returned to her work.
Meanwhile, Miles was in the restroom, frantically scrubbing his arm. He even considered taking a shower right there in his office, but unfortunately, there wasn’t a bathroom provided.
Miles‘ hands were sore from all the scrubbing now, but he could still feel Ruth’s perfume lingering in the air no matter how many times he washed his hands. He was disgusted by her

He hadn’t expected Ruth to try to seduce him. However, he had to play along for now to see what she was up to.

“My muse, that woman is disgusting and terrifying. How much longer do I have to endure this? My chastity that I have protected all these years will be ruined by her!”
As soon as Miles saw Kate, he started to complain. Kate looked at Miles helplessly and said, “I have some new design sketches. Want to see them?”
Miles instantly composed himself and became serious. “Sure!”
Kate handed the sketches to Miles, and he quieted down finally.
Over the next two weeks, Ruth kept finding ways to get closer to Miles. She played hard to get and it was driving Miles to the brink of despair. He was on the verge of breaking down but still had to act naturally in front of Ruth,

Kate’s personality had completely transformed, and Eric gradually began to trust her more. The surveillance on Kate had lessened, but he still kept a close watch on her. He felt that she was just pretending and waiting for a chance to escape.
But up until now, Kate had shown no intention of leaving.
She had completely severed ties with Simon. Especially now that Simon was no longer in charge of the Lowe Group subsidiary, their interactions had significantly decreased. Occasionally, Simon would appear before Kate, playing the victim, but Kate ignored him completely.
This infuriated Simon and he wanted nothing more than to get rid of Kate!
Watching Kate ignoring him and walking away once again, Simon impatiently dialled Ruth’s number. “How much longer until your plan is complete?”
