Chapter 72 - Alliance

"That's it! I have already tolerated enough. I will not let her be willful anymore. She needs to know her place." Ruhan said determinably.

"What are you going to do?" Tuli finally stopped whining and looked at him curiously.

"I....I am going to take back what belongs to me..I am going to make her resign." Ruhan replied matter of factly.

Hearing this, Tuli's heart began to beat frantically.

'Take back what belongs to him? Did he mean the post of project manager? Wouldn't that mean I would directly under him?'

Tuli tried to keep her expression calm but her thoughts were already in turmoil. She was really looking forward to the day when Ruhan would replace Lisa. They wouldn't have to sneak around anymore. They could be close to each other all day long.

Moreover....her future career would develop by leaps and bounds with Ruhan's help. She had never intended to settle for being just a secretary. If it hadn't been Ahmed Corporations' main branch, she wouldn't have agreed to be a secretary.

Ruhan saw Tuli in a daze and knew that his approach was working. At least Tuli didn't admire Lisa like before.

He pretended to be regretful, "It's a pity...it would be easier said then done."

"Why?" Tuli asked immediately. Then she felt that she appeared as overenthusiastic and tried to find an excuse, "l mean...you are Ahmed sir's son. So why should it be difficult? This job was supposed to be yours in the first place!"

Ruhan saw Tuli's eagerness and smirked. As he expected...this girl really was ambitious.

Ruhan pretended to be wronged and complained, "She has already convinced my parents that she is more capable than me. Moreover, I have never been greedy for properties. So I tried to keep peace in the family and didn't compete with her for anything. Now my parents also feel that I am good for nothing. They trust her more than me. That's why my father gave this post to her. Now it would be difficult to replace her."

He lowered his gaze. He really looked like a person who was bullied at home.

'Sorry mom' Ruhan apologised to his mother inwardly for ruining her image.

"Why would you do that?" as expected, Tuli became angry and began to chastise Ruhan, "Why would you let yourself suffer injustice like this!!! That's not fair. You should stand up for yourself." she said self-righteously.

"It doesn't matter. I have already become accustomed. Nothing bothers me anymore. But.. " Ruhan's face suddenly became fierce, "I can not let you suffer like this. Even if I have to go against my parents, I would fight to the end and Lisa her real place."

"Ruhan.." Tuli was moved. No matter how hard-hearted she was, how could she not feel moved when a rich, handsome man stood up for her like this!!!

"Will you be with me?" Ruhan took her hand affectionately. "Will you stand beside me till the end?"

Tuli hesitated but nodded eventually. She liked Ruhan's new powerful and determined look more that his gentle appearance. It made her feel secured.

"What are you planning to do?" Tuli then asked tentatively. Up until now she had never thought of going against Lisa. Just thinking about it was making her feel nervous.

"I don't know that yet. But if you are with me, I am sure that I will find a way." Ruhan gently kissed her hand.

Tuli blushed and held his hand tightly.

Ruhan saw her shy appearance and once again scolded Lisa inwardly. This was how a girl's supposed to be...shy and reserved whenever a guy came close to her.

Not like that damn Lisa who would have already kicked him away if he kissed her hand like this.

Of course, it didn't occur to Ruhan that if Lisa had been like Tuli, he would have been bored already and wouldn't pester her like how he was doing now.

Poor Lisa had no idea that Ruhan and his cinderella had already formed alliance against her and soon trouble would come knocking her door.
