There was an old saying that went like this: We want what we can't have. 1
When this woman, Ruth, had acted high and mighty in the past, she made people feel disgusted just by looking at her. Yet, since she wasn't all that qualified either, most people didn't just look down on her, but had resented her as well.
Especially her subordinates, who were infuriated by her arrogant behaviour, but did not dare to speak up.
On the other hand, the truly wealthy young men of South City, like Ryan and Marcus, would not even let this unrefined woman into the corner of their eyes. To them, she wasn't even worthy of being compared to a servant.
However, things were different at this moment.
Ruth behaved cautiously, and endured everything without saying a word. Unlike her past self, she humbly accepted her own inferiority.
In fact, that silent but unyielding patience of hers was somewhat similar to how Sabrina had acted when she was being ostracized.
The only difference being that Sabrina had never been inferior.
On top of that, she always made sure to remain
composed, regardless of the situation she was trapped in.
Ruth was the complete opposite in this regard. She felt completely lost and frightened, much like a little white mouse.
She was too easy to bully.
Haha!
Ryan's interest suddenly piqued.
Though he had never once laid a finger on the female employees of the company, Ryan now longed to taste those slightly coarse lips of hers.
After all, he had seen all sorts of dignified beauties in Kidon City. At some point, he had even gotten used to their pretentious, arrogant, and posturing looks.
As such, when he now saw this undoubtedly inferior and lost little mouse that could not free herself, Ryan couldn't help but feel interested.
He did not like Ruth all that much.
No, he did not like her at all.
