Ren was left all alone, aside from the invisible servants, but they didn’t have much of a presence anyway. He was searching through job options, and wondered which he would be applicable for. His finger hovered over a certain post.
It was a receptionist position for a company called Brillianze. Wasn’t that Luca’s company? Ren stared at it for a while, before scrolling past it.
In the end, Ren ended up filling a job application for a cafe. There weren’t many requirements for it in the first place, and the pay was also pretty good. Now all he had to do was wait for a reply, which could take days.
Ren leaned on the sofa, feeling bored. He could explore the manor, but it felt stuffy in here. And it was large enough that it wouldn’t be impossible to get lost in it.
Perhaps he should go out and explore what it was like out there. Thinking that, he walked out of the manor, and called a car to take him to the city. Ren had been worried because he had no cash, but it turned out the app prepaid for it, so he didn’t have to worry about it. The vampire was pretty thoughtful when taking care of others.
Perhaps, he had a lot of guests in the past, and he had practice. Ren didn’t know why, but that made him feel uncomfortable.
He focused on the scenery outside, and the loud radio playing in the front. The driver asked him his location, and Ren gave him the name of the cafe he chose to apply for. It would be a good opportunity to see what his possible future workplace was like.

Ren touched the cover, his finger on Luca’s refined attire and serious face. Who would have guessed the guy was someone who couldn’t take anything seriously?
Ren suddenly felt a bunch of people staring at him, while his back was turned. He was very sensitive to other people’s gazes, but he wasn’t disturbed as he didn’t feel any malice behind them. He turned around, out of curiosity to see who was looking at him. It turned out to be a group of girls around his age.
A few quickly turned around flustered, when he looked at them. A few of the bolder ones continued looking at him. Ren instinctively touched his face. Were some of the girls embarrassed for him? Was there something on his face? Did he look weird?
Ren had tied up his long hair into a short ponytail, to keep it out of the way, but did it look strange to the other people? He looked around and most of the guys did have shorter hair. Maybe he should get his hair cut too, but it was better to save it for another day.
He spent a few more hours just walking around and touring the place, before finally visiting the cafe. When he entered the sweet and bitter scent of coffee permeated the shop. Only a few other people were there, most likely because it was a weekday and most people were at work during this time. He sat down, and ordered a sandwich. It was around noon, and he was pretty hungry. He finished the meal, and paid for it via the phone.
Just as he was about to leave, a person wearing a black suit approached him. Ren put his guard up immediately. Even if the person looked normal, no one just wore a suit in a coffee shop, especially on a hot sunny day like this one.
“Sir, would you consider becoming a model for our agency?” He asked.
Ren was surprised by the question, but shook his head. Even if he were desperate for a job, modelling would not be his choice. He was aware that models had to wear different types of clothing to endorse those brands, and his body was scarred, not to mention he was still healing. Even if his body happened to be flawless, he had no interest in standing in front of the camera, standing still and posing.
“Not interested.”
Instead of leaving after the refusal, the man persisted.
“I think your face would be perfect. Just give it a try.”
“I already said no.” Ren said, annoyed. He stood up and walked out of the shop, only to be dragged into a shady alley by the same man. Ren panicked when figured out how the man moved so quickly. Dread filled him as he realized what was happening.
The man lowered his voice and said, “I suggest you stay put. Your punishment will just become harsher if you struggle.”
Damn it, they had already found him, and so quick. Ren didn’t expect that the McAllisters would have actually sent people to capture him already. But then Ren realized how naive he was. They were a powerful family, of course they would use their limitless resources to find him.
The modelling thing was probably only a ruse to try to get him into the car, since they figured he would be desperate for work. But when he refused, they tried a harsher method of directly kidnapping him.
The man dragged him to the car, satisfied Ren didn’t struggle. Unknown to him, Ren was only pretending to cooperate, waiting for an opportunity for the man to let his guard down. He saw his chance, and bit on the man’s arm, causing him to lose his grip on Ren.
Ren didn’t hesitate and ran. The man cursed, and chased after him, but luckily the late afternoon rush hindered him. Ren twisted and turned through different streets, trying to avoid bumping into people. He didn’t know where he was, but only that he had to keep on moving.
He turned around, and saw he still hadn’t lost the man. The man was slowly gaining on him. Ren gritted his teeth, and grabbed the phone, hurling at the man’s face. The phone struck, and the man cursed in pain.
Ren had lost his only way to contact Luca, and was now lost alone on these streets. But he couldn’t worry about that now. He got a few minutes of advantage, so he sprinted towards the closest building, and ran inside, hoping to avoid running into the man again.
Eehhh……I guess one shouldn’t throw their phones on bad guys chasing them bcoz now he is lost(〒﹏〒)and with no way to contact Luca. Not the smartest thing to do Ten ¯_ಠಠ/¯
Thank you for the chapter 🌸
*Ren
Damn autocorrect (ノ｀Д´)ノ彡┻━┻
He can always head to the company? Afterall, Luca us well known. But how did they find him so quick? Does he have a chip on him or something?
Thanks for the chapter <3
I bet that building is where Luca’s company is located, so I guess Ren will be fine^^.
Hopefully
if that building isn’t Luca’s company, Ren’s going to be screwed
thanks for the chapter~~
